I gather that you think heaven is more a state of mind rather than an actual existence (have I understood you correctly?) If so, do you think that all your memories and experiences are wiped clean? Do you enter this heaven with all the knowledge that you possess now? I ask this because I often think about people who have endured terrible lives, are they 'fixed' magically in your heaven?
Let's take someone who has developed dementia in later life as an example, what would be your take on their situation, or maybe a severely disabled person who has endured an uphill struggle all their life? Is their heavenly state of mind going to be on a par with yours?
No, it is an actual existance. What I said is that it is a state of being rather than a physical place.
Yes, we still enter with all the knowledge, memories, and experiences we have had in this life.
People who have lived terrible lives still enter the afterlife with the memory of their terrible lives. But the love of God (if they choose to accept it) will overwhelm them with complete fulfillment and complete joy. So it isn't that they won't remember their painful memories. But that it will no longer matter or be relevant. The person is now existing in complete joy and complete love. It will "cure" any pain or trauma they feel from their past life.
As for people with illnesses/disabilities, either physical or mental.... well, since only our souls go to the afterlife and not our bodies or our brains, any disease, illness, disability, etc, will no longer apply. The person with dementia, bi polar disorder, mental retardation, etc, will be able to experience existance clearly from that point on, as though they no longer have those diseases.
(Disclaimer: this is all my belief/opinion)
So you believe that someone retains their memories sometimes terrible horrific ones, but is incapable of feeling anything but joy? Count me out, I don't do eternal zombie.

That's fine. Hopefully I answered all your questions clearly and thoroughly.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I am glad that you do not work in the justice system.
I just wonder how many innocent people would have been imprisoned by your kangaroo court where the evidence would not be needed.
You reach a new low and vile behavior, shame yog, shame.

It is bizarre to see people like you that praise science yet reject this same science when it disprove and contradict you.
The positive and the negative are a reality.
The waves go up and down in a never ending flow.
The good and the bad follow the same routine.
Within the material-physical world this is a reality.
The karma law is therefore necessary to adjust the balance within this reality.
Without this adjustment there wouldn't be this universal reality but dreamers don't get it.

Interview with P.R. Sarkar
Quote:Q. What is it that makes everyone around go against the Anand Marga?
A. I do not know what you mean by everybody around. Yes, there are some people who are against us, but they are a handful. They are either Communists or Congressmen.
Q. In almost all the raids that have so far been conducted on Anand Marga premises, either some bombs, firearms or some human skulls have been found. Why?
A. The bombs and the firearms were planted beforehand by the CBI, this was done to implicate the Marga in some frame-up cases. So far as the human skulls are concerned, we have purchased them from the market. We need them for our sadhana (meditation).
Ananda Marga organisation in total mess
Quote:According to Anandamurti's defected private secretary, Vishokananda, with the expansion of the Marga there sprang up five branches with specific purposes. "Vishwa Shanti Sena (VSS) was set up in 1959 to train the workers in the art of espionage and warfare, Proutist Forum of India (PFI) in 1962 to propagate the PROUT philosophy, Education Relief and Welfare Section (ERAWS) in 1964 to open schools, hospitals and dispensaries and to organize relief works, Seva Dharma Mission (SDM) in 1964 to brain-wash the workers and Proutist Bloc of India (PBI) to conduct political activities."
Yet Sarkar denied his knowledge about the existence of any wing except the ERAWS. Many of the Margis still stoutly deny that it has anything to do with politics or that it had ever engaged itself in violent revolution. Whatever Anandamurti had said was only a socio-political theory and nothing more. "There was a difference between what was said or written and what was understood," Keshavananda insists.

I keep forgetting about your advanced science degree from the University of Shit Analogies.

I bet most of the people at madhouses don't have such serious discussions about magical worlds. I mean, we are taking this magical lore way too seriously. You've never known a Harry Potter, Star Trek, or Star Wars fan, have you?
This is the discussion in my house almost daily. Why did Gandalf say "fly you fools!"? Followed by argument why they couldn't have flown to Mordor. Time turners are the absolute worst, discuss. Did you know Wookies can live to be 400 years old? What's for dinner hun? Spam, spam and more spam!
