Using the example of a radio turning into a station still doesn't prove that God exists as anything but a psychological experience. If you can't prove that the radio station is 'out there' it's existence is nothing more than a belief. Is the radio station supposed to be 'out there' or is it within as well according to yoga?
It is within it is outside and is everywhere.
The reason is that everything and everybody is in the mind of the cosmic consciousness according to yoga.
Once you overcome the idea that you are Mrs. Ape or someone separate from everything else then you really understand who you are.
A drop of water is separate from a billion of other drops but as soon as she get in the ocean then the separation end and you are the ocean and everything that exist.
Quote:I linked to that short article about the Self so you could get an idea of what Jung was talking about. I've been practicing Jungian psychology for over 30 years so it's not a case of me just reading about theory.
Going by Jung's writings he had the God experience himself but he couldn't offer any proof that God exists as anything other than a psychological experience. If I get my own God experience it will be similar to anyone else's but that won't prove that it's anything more than something produced by the human brain. After all, every human has a human brain, including mystics.
You can study Jung psychology for 300 or 3000 years but you still can not reduce the distance that separate you the microcosm from the macrocosm unless you are able to raise your kundalini to the pineal gland and that require a lot more than psychology.

The music is not in the radio; the radio merely receives the waves from the transmitter and translates them into impulses which stimulate the magnet in the speaker, causing it to produce vibrations in the cone which are propagated through the air into our ears and eventually deciphered as sounds by our brains, So it would me far more accurate to say the music is in our brain - the radio merely provides the means to deliver the impulses to us.
There are many many ways to cook an egg so the taste may differ but at the end an egg is an egg.
You can create a myriad of intellectual extravaganza but at the end you still are Mr. Stimbo with your degree of consciousness.
The radio example was all about understanding that until you set up a system in which you can grasp the treasure within you may not know that it exist.
Quote:Where is the equivalent of the radio for "God", and how can you possibly know that it's that character you claim to perceive? I realise you're not actually in the business of forming cogent, or even coherent, sentences, but please don't give me your usual mouldy brand of platitudes and false bonhomie. I just ate.
Luckily you are not a real pistolero otherwise i would already be dead.

There are many many drops of water around but sooner or later they all end up in the big ocean so it is not just me that perceive how the system work in this way.
It is all about the degree of consciousness that allow to perceive how the system works.
With little consciousness it is obvious that nothing is clear.
Why don't you ask yourself why there is a force within that push you to learn more all the time?
It is father Christmas or someone else?
