There is only one reality all else is delusion.
Quote:therefore this notion of one being higher or lower seems to non-sense from an Atheistic stand point. So it can be said higher and lower is a proof of the Highest One to whom is a reality by which the other stages get their reality.
Would you accept there being no higher or lower as evidence that god is non-existent?
Quote:I might be missing something here. This is why I'm asking.
You are missing anything approaching proof for your position.
This pretty much sums up my response. All this talk about higher or lower realities is meaningless until you can prove that such things actually exist. But then, I tend to say the same thing about gods.
That's MISTER Godless Vegetarian Tree Hugging Hippie Liberal to you.
