But to you, karma and reincarnation are real and you will have to pay for every scurrilous comment you have made here and wherever else you have done such. Are you willing to pay that much karmic debt?


That is interesting Aba.

Ok, now let us be serious and answer your question.

Obviously you haven't got a clue what karma is all about.
Suppose a policeman say...........that guy driving too fast or driving under the influence of "something" will get killed for sure.
Does the policeman pick up any karma for saying that?
Of course not.
Karma is wishing harm to other people not predicting an obvious result.

The same apply to me.
Why should I build karma for saying the obvious?
I never ever wish any harm to those two guys that said that my mother is  whore.
All I did is to state the obvious.
Anyone engaged in talking very very dirty obviously will lose the awareness in consciousness and in the next life obviously they will not deserve a human body anymore.  Lightbulb
All that karma nonsense is your cockeyed belief not mine. According to your cockeyed belief, every insult you hurl here is adding to your negative karma.

Got a problem with that? Tough. You are the one who believes you are reincarnating. Probably as a cockroach. Maybe an amoeba. You have only yourself to blame.

As for myself, since I am immune to all of that kind of superstitious baloney, I have nothing to worry about at all.

A welcome in the other dimension can not be traumatic.
Suppose a Christian that for all his-her life saw God as a person represented by Jesus see instead a welcoming Buddha or the other way around in which a Buddhist see Jesus to welcoming in heaven.
Wouldn't he-she be shocked?

Once the welcome is over then the reality take place and the person understand that God has no human figure.  Lightbulb

Ignoring for the moment that this is yet another bare assertion which isn't supported by any evidence from the NDEs themselves, this presents yet another problem for you.  If the original god figure who presents himself is not the "real" god, and the real god only presents him or herself once the welcome is over, then how does one determine that the welcome is indeed over and one is in fact experiencing reality?  One can easily imagine an infinite regress of slightly less "unreal" presentations, stretching backward such that one never actually arrives at the true reality, or, at the very least, one has no way of knowing when that point has been reached and thus one is then comprehending the real reality.

You've simply replaced one illusory experience with a series of them that has no identifiable end.  How did you determine that God has no human figure?  Perhaps the God that has no human figure is but a prelude to the real God who does have a human figure.  This is simply something you've once again concluded based upon the spiritual/religious dogmas that you believe, rather than based upon any evidence.  Once you've introduced the notion that any god figure presented in an NDE is illusory, you've undermined any rationale possible for claiming that this or that particular NDE content is not illusory.  As far as you know, it's turtles all the way down, and you never encounter reality.  You've effectively denied yourself the ability to claim anything based on the content of NDEs.  You've cut your nose off to spite your face.

The evidence in all cases is on my side.

Because NDEs can be proven.
Real people who had an NDE exist.
Hospitals that can support the evidence that these people were there exist.
Doctors that witness these people dead exist.
Doctors that witness these people alive again exist.
People that witness all these things exist so obviously all this is verifiable not BS.

This makes the second time that I've explained the same point, and you still show no sign whatsoever of comprehending the problem, or even showing any sign that you've read my explanation.  (It's right above in my post.  Read it, dumbass.)

As explained, I'm not disputing that NDEs are in some sense real here, only that you cannot demonstrate that the content of the OBE is not a result of clairvoyance/clairaudience, instead of a result of consciousness leaving the body.  No leaving the body means no reincarnation.  In order to show that consciousness leaves the body in an OBE, you have to demonstrate that the OBE experience is not a result of clairvoyance/clairaudience.

You complain that I don't read NDE accounts, yet you appear unable to even read what is written in a simple post.  I can only conclude that your inability to "get it" is either that you have incurable reading comprehension problems, or that you are just terminally stupid.  And once again you accuse me of claiming that NDEs are bullshit.  Again, your slander is simply unsupported.  Throughout this discussion I have continually granted that the accounts of NDEs are genuine, I have only disputed the conclusions that one can infer from those accounts.  And since in the past two posts you, yourself, have held out that some of the content of NDEs is illusory, and not an accurate representation of an underlying reality, then I have no need to dispute the NDEs' contents directly.

Given that I've explained the above point to you twice and you still fail to grasp it, I'm likely not going to repeat the explanation yet again if it comes up.  I'll simply cut & paste my previous responses which you have yet to actually address.

Inventing bullshit terms to attempt to hide your ignorance won't help you here.  But as long as you're suffering under the delusion that it will, I'll point out that there is no difference between the local existence of entropy and any supposed difference at some alleged "UNIVERSAL" level.  As above, so below.  The entropy of the universe is basically a corollary of the first law of thermodynamics.  If you have any evidence that the first law of thermodynamics is violated anywhere, I suggest you write up your evidence, submit your paper to the journal Nature, and then stand back and wait for them to deliver your Nobel prize.

UNIVERSAL entropy and plain old entropy are the same thing.  You're just attempting to bullshit your way out of things yet again.

But fear not, as I said, this won't help you anyway, even if I grant you what you desire, that supposedly the entropy of the universe is not sufficient to supply all the energy needs of the universe.  Even in that case, you have only demonstrated the existence of "a god," which is not necessarily the same as "your god," whom I've taken to calling Yoga God.  In your mad scramble to evict yourself from the latest hole that you've dug for yourself, you lost sight of the prize, which was to demonstrate, with evidence, the existence of karma and reincarnation.  It doesn't help you to prove "a god" unless you can demonstrate that this god is "your god."  Many Christian theologians posit that their god is actually the source of sustenance and order in the universe.  As Christian theologian Paul Tillich opined, "God is ... the ground and the power of being...".  So even if I granted you your claim that a god is necessary to provide the energy needs of the universe, that is not in itself sufficient to demonstrate that this god is a god of reincarnation and karma.  So, tough luck, but you've failed once again.  If Christian God is the real god, then Yoga God is not.  Nothing about your argument proves things one way or the other.

So, no, this NDE doesn't demonstrate that karma and reincarnation are real, it only shows that you have a penchant for tripping over your own balls in your attempt to make a coherent case for reincarnation and karma.  That is, assuming you have balls.  

You have failed again and again and again.  And what shakes out is that you have no evidence to support your belief in karma and reincarnation.

More and more BS on your part yog.

Unfortunately you don't pay much attention to what I did write about free will in the past because your ego shift your mind elsewhere.
Free will is one of the reasonS why God in many cases can not be perceived 100% and therefore one of the reason why people who had an NDEs come back into their bodies.
Other reasons are the karma still in action and an unfinished task.
Free will in many cases prevent the person to focus 100% on God so obviously when your mind is still worry about other things you can not perceive God in full.
A perfect example is in the NDE that I show you in the last post in which Cathleen went back in her body just because she worry about her parents.
Obviously in your twisted mind you reckon that two reality don't make any sense when in fact they make full sense.
God can be perceived 100% or 0% with any number in the middle.
It is all up to the perceiver.  Lightbulb

Ignoring for the moment that you're now introducing another unsupported concept -- free will -- I don't see how this helps you any.  As I elaborated in an earlier post, the problem here is that there doesn't appear to be any way to determine when one is in fact perceiving God 100%, rather than say 60% or 20%.  If one cannot determine for a fact what part of an NDE correlates to perceiving God 100%, then you have no basis for concluding that any specific content is truly real.  One might believe one is perceiving God 100% when in fact they are not, and vice versa.  By your own admission, some NDE content reflects an illusory experience of God where one's perception is not 100%.  As I pointed out regarding the NDE that you linked to in your last post, there is no way of knowing that her experience of a god who talked of reincarnation was a perception of the underlying, true, 100% reality, and so there is no way we can rely upon her NDE to conclude that karma and reincarnation is real.

I'll repeat the important point since you appear not to be grasping it.  If one has no way of knowing that one is perceiving God 100%, then one has no way of knowing that their experience of God is an accurate representation of reality, as opposed to being illusory.  How do you know that you are perceiving God 100% from the content of the NDE itself?  If there is no way to know, then there is no way to rely upon the testimony of any NDE as regards God and underlying reality.

How do you know that blood flowing and an alive body are required for clairvoyance?  Do you have any evidence that blood and life are necessary for consciousness to see remotely?  I'm suggesting that clairvoyance occurs under the same conditions as your supposed example of consciousness leaving the body, namely that we are capable of clairvoyance even when their is no blood flowing or life in the body because clairvoyance is an ability of pure consciousness, unrelated to our biology.  Do you have any way of showing that it is not?  Please present it if you do.  Until then, we have no reason for necessarily concluding that consciousness leaves the body in an OBE, as clairvoyance remains a live possibility.

It will explain you how the system works.

I've done that and it doesn't seem to answer the problem.  As noted above, we have no way of determining from the content of an NDE that the person's experience does not represent a case in which their perception of God is less than 100%.  "Free will" doesn't appear to offer any such method for determining when one is perceiving God at 100% and when one is not.  As far as I can see, your appeal to free will only resolved why different people make different choices in an NDE, not anything with how one would know that what one is perceiving is 100% true.  That's the question you must answer, and free will doesn't seem to do it.

The universe is not a close container.
That is why UNIVERSAL entropy is off.
Ok. put in this way..........according to yoga the universal dimension is a God's mental projection.
Put in a tiny scale you can create a dimension in your imagination.
You can image an animal in a garden.
Is this imagination closed in a container?
Of course is not that is why entropy in your or in God imagination can not exist.

One might be able to make this argument if you had independent evidence that the God according to yoga is the true reality.  Otherwise you're assuming the existence of God, to disprove entropy, to thereby prove the existence of God.  That's circular reasoning and thereby invalid.   Moreover, if you have evidence that the universal dimension is a mental projection of God, I'd say we've moved past the point of needing any argument based upon the universe's energy needs.  So in order to take your answer here seriously, instead of dismissing it as an unsupported assertion, you're going to have to show that God exists and that the universe is his mental projection independent of the argument about the universe needing a constant infusion of energy.  Regardless, both because of my second point as well as your needing to provide a separate foundation for believing in God, it's clear that this argument has met its end.  It isn't adequately supported, nor can one conclude from it that reincarnation and karma exist, even if it is successful.  I will also note that it's not clear that even if you manage to demonstrate that this universe is a mental projection of God that this then entails that reincarnation and karma are true, as that would depend upon knowing additional information about God beyond the fact of his mental projection. Indeed, positing that the universe is just a mental projection of God is only the beginning of a million questions for which you must provide answers and supporting evidence.

Read again my first answer yog and try to understand how the free will works.  Thanks

Again, your answer of "free will" doesn't appear to answer anything. (See my answer above.) For example, in the case of Caroline's NDE, how do we know that she was perceiving God 100%, instead of say 40%, in which case her God's representations about karma and reincarnation are not reliable?

I will also note in passing that her NDE doesn't say anything about karma, nor even imply it. It's also worth noting that after her NDE she reports that she is a Christian, which puts your bullshit about people being changed in their beliefs after an NDE to rest. Clearly she had an NDE which contradicted the Christian God, yet she remained a Christian afterword.



In closing, no, I don't see how "free will" affects he validity of anything I said before. If you think it does, then you're going to have to explain how free will resolves the problem of not being able to know when we are perceiving God 100%. Until you do, the problems I explained in my prior post still remain problems. Please also note that we are still, a week after your initial claim that NDEs entail reincarnation and you have yet to show a clear example of such. Instead you've undermined your own case by asserting that NE content doesn't reliably indicate reality.

So, you haven't answered my prior objections, and until you do, we're going to have to consider the request for evidence for reincarnation and karma to be unfulfilled.

Not happy with that now you try to hide even every single truth that contradict your dogma.

Free will in many cases prevent the person to focus 100% on God so obviously when your mind is still worry about other things you can not perceive God in full.

As a rule reality is perceived according to the degree of your own awareness in consciousness.
NDEs are not given to give you more awareness to the point in which you reach a parallelism between yourself and God.
If that would be the case nobody would come back into their body and everybody would be one with God.
That gap between you and God will have to be attain by one own effort.

God reality can be fully understood even without years of spiritual work.

Entropy is easily dismiss as the universe is not a close container, the universe itself can not appear as per magic and to exist for billions of years or most probably for ever it need a super mind to run it so if you take all these elements in consideration plus many other then the result indicate that God is alive and well.

Can't you see how wrong you are?  Banghead

Oh joy, yet another stupid analogy. First of all, I wasn't asserting that the 10% which is accurate is illusory, but rather that his belief that the other 90% is accurate and his grasp of the material in that 90% is illusory. More to the point, I'm pointing out that if the student has no clear way of determining what part of his understanding is in the 10%, and which part belongs to the 90%, then his understanding of any specific part is unreliable, and any truth he asserts based on his mixed understanding cannot be counted upon. His having free will doesn't in any way improve that situation. But since you seem to like analogies, here's a few to counter your belief that I am wrong.

Let's suppose that you have a roommate named Bart, and that you and Bart are college students working towards a bachelors in physics. You both are taking a class in quantum mechanics, yet the two of you aren't faring very well. Out of the material that you study, you understand maybe 10%, and the other 90% is a mess of misunderstandings, misremembered formulas, and general failure to grasp the concepts. One week, your professor assigns five chapters to be completed by a week from Friday. Come that Friday, the professor administers an exam, and when you get back the results, you find that both you and Bart only got two right out of twenty questions. Another F grade. Your professor assigns another five chapters, and as a favor, gives you 20 extra credit questions on the new material to help you raise your grade. You spend a week working on the extra credit material, but are having a tough go of it. According to your analogy, given that Bart has a history of poorly understanding the material, it would make sense to turn to Bart for help with the assignment. Would you really look forward to receiving Bart's help, or would you rather depend upon a tutor who has a demonstrated grasp of the material? And how will "free will" improve the quality of Bart's help?

Next analogy. You're in the hospital, recovering from a heart attack. You feel a pain in you chest, and numbness in your left arm, and know that you are having another heart attack. Before you're able to reach the call button to summon your nurse, everything fades to black. Suddenly you find yourself in a room, seated at a table upon which are two flasks, one containing a red liquid, the other containing a blue liquid. Seated opposite you is a man wearing medieval armor and a winged helmet. He introduces himself as Odin, and explains that if you drink the blue potion, you will be extinguished from existence and exist no more. If you drink the red potion, you will be resurrected in Valhalla and celebrated as a hero. You must drink one or the other potion. You start to reach for the red flask, and suddenly a flash of lightning blinds you, accompanied by a crash of thunder. You look up, but Odin is gone. You're dumbstruck for a moment, but you shrug it off and proceed to reach for the red potion again. A commanding voice shouts "Stop!" halting you in mid motion. You look up, and there again is the figure in a winged helmet who identified himself as Odin. He explains that the red potion leads to permanent non-existence, that you should drink the blue potion, as it will deliver you to Valhalla -- the exact opposite of what you thought he had told you earlier. You tell him that, and he explains that you must have been talking to Loki, pretending to be Odin, and that you had been deceived. You start to reach again, but it occurs to you that perhaps this is Loki you're talking to now, and that you should believe the first Odin instead. You must make a choice. You know that one of the two Odin's is deceiving you, but which one? Which Odin do you choose to believe, and which potion do you drink? For bonus points, explain how free will helped you determine which potion to drink?

You didn't answer the question. How do you determine when the welcome is over? What exactly is a "degree of awareness in consciousness" an how does one determine whether one has a lot or a little of it? When I'm falling asleep, my consciousness is diminished, but otherwise, my awareness doesn't seem to have a greater or lesser dimension to it. How do we know what level of awareness we have? You believe that you're possessed of a greater awareness, but the evidence from this thread as well as the testimony of others seems to make it clear that you're a dimwitted twat with little actual awareness. Regardless, I think it's a truism that some people believe themselves possessed of great awareness when in fact they are not. So it's possible to be mistaken about one's level of awareness, and as a consequence overestimate the degree to which their perceptions and beliefs accord with reality. How can one reliably determine one's level of awareness and be certain that one is not deceived? How does free will assure that we are not deceived by ourselves? How can you be certain that you are not deceived?

Can I will myself to understand quantum mechanics? This is just a bare assertion on your part, that a person wishing themselves to be closer results in more accurate awareness. How would you have determined this in the first place? If you have no way to determine the accuracy of the content in an NDE, then you have no way of determining that this or that effort results in greater accuracy. This is just a claim you pulled from your ass and can be dismissed as such. One might will oneself to be closer and have no effect on the accuracy of one's perceptions. You haven't established squat from any evidence. And again, there is the problem of gauging the actual status of one's will? How does one determine that one is willing? How do you determine that closeness to god is being willed? One can't. And even if one could, it wouldn't distinguish cases, such as between fervent Jesus seekers and fervent Yoga seekers -- how does their fervency help decide which is perceiving things accurately and which one is not? This is just another example of you confusing your dogmatic beliefs with fact.

I don't think anyone believes the universe pop up as per magic. That doesn't imply that your specific God exists. Your goal is to provide evidence for reincarnation and karma.

Regardless, it's perfectly possible to have reincarnation without having karma. There is nothing logically contradictory about that. It is nothing more than a dogmatic belief of yours that you can't have one without the other. The fact that you consider it a necessary truth like 1 + 1 = 2 only shows that you are completely unable to distinguish between arbitrary religious beliefs and necessary truths. Your inability to distinguish between dogma and fact explains your delusional belief that you are free of dogma, because you can't tell the two apart.

So, you haven't answered my prior objections, and until you do, we're going to have to consider the request for evidence for reincarnation and karma to be unfulfilled.


Already answered above.
In Cathleen NDE God clearly talk about reincarnation and reincarnation without karma in humans is impossible.  Smile

You've yet to establish that there is anything reliable about the perception of reincarnation in her NDE. As noted already, you've asserted that both accurate and inaccurate perceptions occur in an NDE, and nothing about your answers above give us a clear way of telling which is which. And you haven't presented any evidence that reincarnation without karma is impossible. That appears to be more unsupported religious dogma that you believe but cannot demonstrate.

You claimed that wishing to be close to God influences the accuracy of one's perception, but that claim appears to be an unfounded assertion. If a Jesus God person wishes to be close to their God, and a Yoga God person wishes to be close to their God, and both experience their respective Gods in their NDEs, then on what basis do we determine that one is perceiving their God accurately and the other is not? Until you answer that question, your babbling about free will is pointless. By the way, in what units is "wishing to be close to God" measured?
