Quote:Sorry, but if you are claiming that your god manifests in any way in the physical universe, like: miracles, communicating with humans, inspiring ancient books to be written, answering prayers, intervening on behalf of certain humans, etc, then those effects on the natural universe would be physical evidence for the existence of a god.
This is what most religions believe.
I don't really believe in miracles and sort.
I believe that we build the consciousness with a lot of hard work.
As i already said in previous posts a good father is not going to do the
homework for his son.
In this way the son will never learn a thing.
Quote:If you believe your god communicates with you, you are claiming to be a 'god detector', and that, by definition is a phenomena that is effecting the natural universe and open for scientific inquiry.
You got it wrong.
In yoga you are discovering that you are God.
As your consciousness get bigger and bigger you realize who
you really are so is not a question that God communicate with you.
If that would be the case there would be two entity, you and God when in reality
there is only one entity.
In yoga the mantra sound although is different from person to person mean the same thing.
It means.....i am that entity (God)
The physical science can not in any way cross the border in which exist and penetrate the realm of spirituality so no.
Scientific inquiry can only inquire in the physical realm.
Quote:One more atheist dogma is to expect an hypothetical God to show up to someone (an atheist) that is not interested in knowing Him.
Why wouldn't he?
A hypothetical god would know that I am a naturally inquisitive person, with a strong desire to understand the truth of reality, that my mind is open, and that I would accept his existence if he did show himself to me. And he would know exactly what he needed to do for me to believe he existed.
Why would he make the process to 'know him' look identical to gullibility?
Humans can not keep the feet or the mind in two different places at the same time.
How can you be in London and Sydney at the same time?
How can you believe in materialism and spirituality at the same time?
Impossible.
Suppose that you are a materialist 50%, and an intellectual 49% and the 1% left is just curiosity about spirituality.
Why God would manifest in you when your interest in Him is so tiny?
This is just an example as i don't really know where your thoughts are but i hope you understand how the system
works.
