That is your problem Esq.
To get clever in any discipline you got to do a lot of hard work.
Spirituality is no exception.
I remember many years ago when i started Aikido i was looking at the teacher in admiration.
Just by gently touching someone he could throw him-her down.
It was more mental effort than physical effort.
To reach that stage it would have taken me years and years of hard work.
What i am saying to you Esq. is that as far as you have no interest in spirituality you will never get deep in it so the chances to understand how the system works are zero.
You may think that spirituality is there there within.
Yes spirituality is there but to get it out to the surface it need work.
Nothing come by chances.
No wonder that you feel absolutely nothing. Smile

Boy there is nothing more persuasive than someone pointing out what I feel as evidence for their claim. I mean, who is going to know what I feel better than a guy I'm disagreeing with? [/sarcasm]

Yeah, for one, don't presume to speak for me. And secondly, any proposition on spirituality that begins "first you have to believe in spiritual stuff and work on that," is entirely circular and unjustified.

I'd say nice try, but then, it really wasn't. Dodgy

I presume?
After following you for all this time you show where you stand so it is by following your comments that i can understand your view regarding the issue.
No presuming therefore. Smile

Have there been any new developments on the god-watch front? No? Then no, I don't yet believe in god.
