On the other hand, you're the one who believes that the Moon is a painting of an eye that can see into your dreams, and during the day it flies around the world giving presents to all the good little boys and girls. Who has the silliest beliefs now?


Gee, I was correct after all when I said that you are the guru of the forum. Indubitably
Only a guru can know that LR ..........believes that the Moon is a painting of an eye that can see into your dreams, and during the day it flies around the world giving presents to all the good little boys and girls.................
I suppose that you could make a lot of money reading people mind Stim. Worship (large)
Have you ever thought of that?  Bird

(Heh Stim don't get carried away now.
LR only said this to make you happy.  Wink )

The reason why I talk about internal or external knowledge is very very simple and it clearly show
how right I am and how wrong you are.
During this present life we may build up an empire but when our body goes to the dogs we have only our consciousness left.
All those external physical-material things are left behind so the only progress that we are left with lie in our consciousness and the consciousness can not possibly be build physically or materially by external effort but through an internal effort.
From here is easy to understand that by acting within we can build up progress.
Religions on the other hand act externally.
As I already said the worship of idols, statues and asking God for the daily bread are externally exercises
That is why they can not possibly lead to any sort of progress.
The difference between religions and spirituality is very clear and every idiot would understand which one lead to progress and which one does not.
I challenge you to bring evidence on the contrary but of course you fail to do so.

This is what you "believe" -- nothing more.  The Christian believes they are participating in a love affair with God.  Neither of you "knows" what the reality is because you're just operating on faith in your beliefs and not knowledge.  I don't agree with your characterization of religion and neither do they.  It's just another one of your distorted viewpoints.  You don't "know" that your way is the right way, you merely "believe" that it is.  And all your ranting does nothing but underscore that fact.  Even if religion were nothing but acting externally, you've presented nothing but your beliefs about consciousness to argue that they are wrong in having an external relationship with God.  Your beliefs don't mean shit.

Can you demonstrate that you are in love with somebody and that feeling of love is real?
Humm, not easy yog.
How can you transfer that nice feeling to me?
That belong to you and nobody else.
The same thing goes for spiritual love.
You struggle to achieve that feeling and that feeling belong to you and none else.
That make sense.
Why should you share that with somebody else and lose that power so hard achieved?
Even if you would you could not do that.
How can you extrapolate love feeling from within and give to somebody else even for a demonstration?

Being in love isn't a state of knowledge, you twat.  As I said, all you have is belief and warm fuzzies.  You've got jack shit for knowledge.  All you've got is a bunch of belief and a mess of crazy arguments.  That's all that religions have as well.  In that you are the same.  Your "belief" in these things doesn't amount to squat.

Wow.  Forty years for a warm fuzzy feeling.  God you are a loser.



More and more wrong yog.  Banging Head On Desk  Banghead  Banging Head On Desk

As far as the feeling within come from an honest work you can't go wrong.
As you may build up a material empire you can also build up a spiritual empire.
When the feeling coming from an honest work is rich you know that you are on the correct track.
As the materialist can hide his money also the spiritualist can hide his rich feeling coming from peace of mind and a sense of bliss.
The materialists and the religious people follow the same path.
They both try to grasp external things.
They may or may not succeed in the short term but when their bodies goes to the dogs they will have to leave all what they gain behind.
Spiritualists on the other hand take with them all they earned within.  Lightbulb


It doesn't really matter if being in love is or isn't a state of knowledge although I believe it is.
What matter is that the feeling of love stay with you, it give you peace of mind and happiness and that get you closer and closer to that entity.  Smile
