p.s... without some knowledge of the idea behind the three bardos her visions don't make much sense as NDE's... just thought I'd add that...

there is a book, called... erm.... can't remember the title, but it's by jiyu kennett, a female buddhist of the soto zens, and in this book, written when she was ill, and near death, talks about some NDE's she had... I read this many years ago, but can't for the life of me remember the title...

it's a big load of poo... the morality of a christian is not much different to the morality of a buddhist.... surely God/Jesus would be more concerned about you being a good person than caring whether you believed soley in him.... jesus is NOT THE ONLY WAY... if you believe that then you are...

I dislike on principle the idea of faith based schools, and even though I declare myself buddhist I feel just the same on hearing a buddhist school is opening as I would a muslim or catholic. It appals me. I am especially appalled to hear this is a primary school. The minds of children are like...

I agree with Lao-Tzu- There are different types of intelligence, and unfortunately nobody possesses the full set... what we think we know we often don't... most of what we believe to be true is based on supposition... take two brothers, twins, both educated the same way, both get the same...

I have heard that drinking water and vinegar works to break down kidney stones- only heard that this week, so thought I'd pass it on... have no more info about it than that, though...

The masters of the fourth dimension shuddered, caught out by the laws of physics, The masters of the fourth dimension were hailed as gods by the new found mystics. And so a world was born which bore no location, a world made circular by halluncination. Sound absorbed colour and took on form, it...

a lot of religion is about culture... a lot of culture is about religion... if you stick with what you know you'll never experience the cognitive dissonance of trying to be a silk purse when you're really a pig's ear... many "converts" have issues with this- they find a religion they like, try...

bananabrain- I obviously wasn't clear- I wasn't talking about jewish sacrifical culture, as such, but more general world-wide terms- human sacrifice has been practised by native south americans, the irish druids, african muti men, etc etc... but while we're on the subject- didn't the early...

dondi... ... if a such a vast swathe of people believe Jesus died on the cross for our sins and was born of a virgin, with no father, spontaneously conceived, if they believe that he rose from death on the third day and then ascended to heaven, if they believe that homosexuality and science and...

my own personal thoughts on the matter are such- Jesus was a man, a human being, not a God, and he faked his own death, so he could show the believers something miraculous... today's equivalent of a good P.R trick... he did not have to die to save us, or the world, as most of us never met him...

i love this show... especially when they get nicked, and start crying like little kids... hahahahaha.. I hear on the grapevine that there are several similiar groups- catching predators, although instead of cameras, you meet, Mr Beatyou! and that's what he does! You think you're gonna get...

go not gentle onto that good night... rage , rage, against the dying of the light... and yet... I believe a person should have the right to choose not to suffer. There is nothing dignified in dying of rectal cancer, radioactive tubes up ones ass, unable to defecate, drowning in your own...

all you have to do to be a buddhist is to repreat the triple refuge three times...

I wanted to watch this show, turned it on, and found it to be so boring I switched off, so didn't get to see him "pop his clogs"... I reckon many other sensationalists did the same- turned over, bored... I do not think this broadcast was approached in a sensationalist manner...

bah, I missed what was said...

i am the greatest...me and mohammed ali

I would have to agree with Tao... it's a load of crap... you aren't born religious, no more than you are born soley to speak a specific language- it's a cultural thing thrust upon your baby mind by your social group and it's metaphors...

sex is very rarely about desire, though... sex is often about other things- power, conformity, acquisition, deception... sex is often desireless, not even about lust, something supposedly base, spoken of more nicely and called "attraction". Yet at least lust is honest. Sex is often something...

Identified correctly by Francis King, 2... just like the professionals... today I have been reading a book called, madness explained, by richard bentall, penguin 2004... he's a reputable psychologist/psychiatrist in the UK... he states in this book that this lack of certainty in diagnosis...
