The redneck strike again.

[Little Rik]

You are just a fanatic, you can define meditation all you want but plenty of other people disagree with you, and you offer no evidence beyond your own idiotic "insight". You are right that we don't know what Buddha said, not that I care much, but the earliest Buddhist writings are the closest we will ever get. Therefore they are the best source for what the buddha actually believed. Your claims to know that he practices your type of meditation are just the fanatical ravings of a religious fundamentalist.

Buddha did not reach the permanent nirvana by following religion.
If i would be religious i would go in a Buddhist temple with some
incense sticks while chanting old mantras like most Buddhists do.
Again James without knowing what is the difference between religion and spirituality you just wonder in a sea of fantasies.

Before you come down with this garbage you should explain why the
the human beings CAN NOT deal with saturated fats, cholesterol
and toxin while omnivore animals can.

Firstly our bodies are quite good at dealing with cholesterol and saturated fats, it is only in old age when people really start to see the bad effects of meat eating. This is after our reproductive years, which means there is little evolutionary selection pressure to drive improvements in our metabolism. Secondly, take for instance cholesterol since you brought it up. We have HDL in our bodies to scavenge up cholesterol in our blood from our diet into our liver, where it can be used to make bile or further transported around the body. We have HDL precisely to deal with dietary cholesterol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_lipoprotein

There are two types of cholesterol.
LDL the bad one and HDL the good one.

Wonder which one you get when you don't follow a veg. diet.

I am not asking if they all believed the earth was round, I am asking you how you know their nervous systems were different.

I already answer that question by saying that if they would have had the same nervous system they would also have had the same degree of consciousness which would have allow them to reach the same stage of evolution of ours.

You don't need intuition to understand how the humans evolved.
For a million years nothing much happened.
It is only in the last 15000 years that the things started moving
and it is in the last few hundred years that they started moving even faster.
As i said yesterday this is due to the avalanche effect.

That is due to science and technology, the very things you reject when you make appeals to you "insight", not genetics or evolution! Show me the genes that were altered during this evolution of our nervous systems? You cant because you have no idea what you are talking about.

1) Science and technology are two dead things that can be given life when
the consciousness reach a high degree of evolution so it is not due to the
physical aspect that we evolve.
Our far ancestors had the same elements to develop technology but they
could not just because the degree of consciousness was very low.
2) Gregor Mendel spend over 10 years of his life just on one experiment.
To know a little bit about genes you got to study for years and years at the uni.
In both cases one very important thing is missed and that is the fact that
genes are a reflection of the degree of consciousness that we have.
You can be an expert in causes or and expert in effects.
I choose the first.
