What is logic?

However you seem to be very intent on taking issue with materialism. My problem with this is we have no proof of anything but the material world in that we have no proof of anything spiritual or anything outside of nature. So this idea of humans being having a need for spirituality is completely unfounded.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

The proof that there is a need for spirituality is more than evident. None is able to find peace of mind (and here I am talking about a permanent peace of mind) only by materialistic-physical and mental means. The fact that people have to repeat the same action again and again is the proof. The satisfaction that you may find by having sex or doing other things only last a very short time. Is not a permanent satisfaction that is why people go back to it again and again. This is proof that human beings long for a permanent status not a temporary one so if the material-physical or mental side is unable to give that to us it is obvious that only the spiritual side can.

I already answered several times but you didn't get it. Is not my fault if you are slow to understand. LR however is a very very patient person so he will explain to you once again. Suppose you start studying in order to become a doctor. Somebody come to you and say...........what is the cure for such and such disease? You say to that person..........eh, wait a minute son I just started to study to become a doctor how I suppose to know what a qualified doctor that studied 6-7 years know? Do you start getting the idea Cyb? Beside there is an other thing that you should know. When you start the great journey to human emancipation by practicing intuitional science or yoga meditation your guru or teacher has a duty as well. The duty is to make sure that you are not able to use the power that you slowly slowly are gaining. That would be very very dangerous because the material attractions would drag you down and in this way you would sink lower and lower losing all the gain that you did make. Only when you reach the very top the guru will have to give you everything and at that stage you are in a position to be in charge and know everything.
So what's in the green box? If you don't think you're 'emancipated' enough to figure it out, ask one of those gurus.
Test them.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm curious as to your age, using a phrase like that. Sorta like my Judge Crater jokes and Walter Brennen impersonation. All I get are quizzical looks when back in the day, they used to kill...

(April 13, 2017 at 8:21 am)Little Rik Wrote: Wrong once again Ace. So your "logic" is that because temporary actions don't lead to permanent gratification, there is a need for spirituality? Not only is that logic completely flawed, it provides no evidence for the need of anything spiritual. It only provides evidence for the passage of time. Plenty of people find happiness in life without ever taking spirituality, or lack thereof, into account. I'm pretty happy with my life, I'm not at all a spiritual person. Plenty of people are, however, unhappy. This isn't due to a lack of spirituality, hell I know plenty of spiritual people who I would say are fucking miserable. People are usually unhappy in life because they don't treat themselves with respect or consideration. Most people would rather sit in front of a TV all day than work out or read a book. I'm guilty of it too. But laziness leads to unhappiness. Not a lack of spirituality. You're jumping more gaps than Mario and Luigi. We live in a physical world. Not a spiritual world. What planet do you live on? So I'll ask again, what is your proof of a need for spirituality?
