We are stuck inside a body as a driver would be stuck inside a car.
We are not the body but after so long that we are stuck inside we come
to believe that we are the body.
Getting out the sewer is the realization that we are finally free.
Quote:Do you understand what a dogma is?
An idea which is locked inside a corral where nobody is allow to challenge.
Like the water in a pond that is deprived of movement and oxygen and become stale.
Quick example.
You are not interested in establish a relationship with God or whoever you
think of and at the same time whining that God or that person does not reciprocate.
When challenge by someone who explain you the irrationality of your
thinking you just say.......IF GOD WOULD EXIST IT WOULD MANIFEST.
Can you see now how a dogma is created?
Quote:When I asked you if you had pulled those statistics out of your ass, i was trying to provoke you into providing a citation to provide evidence that the statistics had indeed come from somewhere like a study. This attempt seems to have failed. Can you guess what i'm going to ask you for now?
Not everybody need to look for information in books or other form of knowledge. You got one more dogma to deal with boy.

Quote:Really? So Oppenhiemer was searching for hapiness when he made the atom bomb? So Darwin was searching for happiness when he came up with the theory of evolution, even though it caused severe unhappiness due to his christian beliefs?
Need I go on?
When you search in the physical world you never know whether you will find the royal jelly or a turd.
Quote:How exactly is 'spiritual progress' going to stop death? I think we'd all really be interested in hearing this. After you have explained how, you can go and get your nobel prize.
Spirituality is all about stopping the cycle of birth and death or continuous reincarnation.
Quote:OK, so i was right, the definition of philosophy is wrong because it isn't the same as yours.
You asked me one question and i answer you.
That does not mean that i am right or your wiki is right.
It is up to you to believe what you like.
Quote:I don't think you understand what I said. We don't know if there is life after death. But there is no evidence to suggest there is, so there is no justification for believing it.
Now you say this.
Months ago you were saying that life is finite.
Don't you worry i do understand very well what you
are babbling.
Quote:Qualifications don't mean everything. But they certainly are important. They let us know that the person speaking actually knows what they are talking about. They have passed tests by experts in a particular field and have demonstrated their aptitude at their subject. A person with qualifications is far more likely to know what they are talking about than someone who doesn't. If you heard a meteor was going to hit earth, which person would you be more likely to believe it from? A tramp or Stephen Hawkin? There is a very obvious answer here, lets see if you can get it.
As i just said yesterday the I control the mind and the mind control the body not the other way around so considering that the scientists are dealing with matter we can establish that those who control the I are smarter than those who deal with the matter or the mind only.

You are God.
Oh I get it. enrico thinks that he is God, therefore he believes himself supremely knowledgeable and infallible.
That explains all the arrogance and condescension. I see it now.
One more stupid comment.
I am as everybody is.
Anyone engaged in tantric yoga get a personal mantra.
The sound is different but the meaning is the same.
Everybody and everything is God.

But consciousness is just the manifestation of a physical process, you can't divorce the two.
Consciousness has been build by the physical-mental cohesion
or effort so it reflex the degree of progress that you have done.
As long as you are alive physically speaking you can not divorce but divorce will occur when the parallelism among body-mind and the I is lost with the physical death.
