hi paladin, and thanks i don’t know who adviata is. the duality is in our representation of reality not reality itself, which is where i am going with this. we start with the idea that all things are fractions then we blend it all until there is nothing separating entities/object/meanings...

as half an ‘orange’ is a fraction of the seed, what is a whole orange? ~ an argument of epic ‘proportions’ [e.g. is god whole and complete or is he a part of the same universal we belong to]. half an orange is a fraction of an orange, which in turn is a fraction of the tree, which then is a...

Q2008, hi indeed! ...and thence by what language does evolution and the universe go by/come from? all the way down the line there is something from which it all arises. eventually we get to the infinite intellect of god! the fact that we are made this was does not detract from the fact that...

truth like the self cannot indeed be ‘known’ ~ at least in perceptive terms, to perceive we take a step out from the inner self to a secondary perspective. both the self and truth then belong to the same primary nature which perception emanates from! i suppose i would call that gnosis or inner...

thanks for the link, its an interesting post ~ it seams to agree entirely with this one as i see it. ...or at least what i was trying to achieve. :)

not control over reality, control over our genes. i am probably talking in future tense but it will be and is possible to change/control our genes.

juantoo3, hi hehe just my way, the ‘stuff evolution’ part is to say that we can change it even though i believe in evolution. yup we are only limited by ourselves. yes, the whole point is to say that religion or not we arent apes as we can change ourselves and do so. apparently we can...

well i smoke so i must be very unwise to have such a throwaway attitude to my body ~ there again life has the same attitude. perhaps there is something in the dynamic. :)

stuff evolution i am human not an ape! [just balme dawkins for all these threads lols]. . we are the same as apes? genes are genes and nature is nature, yet as soon as you add language to a species then the animal world and evolution is no longer fundamental. humanity builds a holistic network...

hi dauer and everyone, :) sorry i havent been around for some time, i have been having a long debate with a chap at ILP forums who believes in a kind of matrix god, and i am busy making a mythology mod for rtw [pc game] which is very time consuming. also thanks to you guys here and many others...

path yup, :) it gets to where meanings go around in circles.

path of one i agree except this; "Not everyone seems to have chosen that"... what if there is something else that comes out of the blender? it may be more tao like for example. the interesting thing for me is that we end up tripping over our meaning and definitions leaving a void in which...

path of one :p. good point, without body though jesus is god yes, and god has always been around and in all places and cultures. who’s to say abrahamic religions will be the chosen ~ or any specific culture or religion. by current trends it would appear that [as i see it] truth will not...

path of one, if he doesn’t exist or exist without bodily form then he must be? or a completely new understanding is forged out of the old! this is how it has always gone before. if god is to win and god is love we have to show what god is in some way ~ i don’t think vague belief is going...

is Christ a metaphor now then? perhaps to the ancient Hebrews the disintegration of their faith may have appeared as like a battle.

namaste vaj nearer the latter, but i only classify it is as present or not present as there may be things outside of our classifications but which would fall into the formula. i was given the notions of brahma as ‘the dwelling place’ [things may be omnipresent as a space etc.] and as...

noddegamra i been wondering about the notion of Armageddon in a wider context, many of us have some notion of dramatic change and some that it would be sudden and with a specific result, namely that evil will be overcome. i cannot see any truth in a war between the goodies and baddies, as when...

ciel, hi i would see consciousness then negative force or any other as an expression of that. interesting second point, to me it means; are all presences universal and hence omnipresent! that would break the rule in an almost infinite manner lols. could be true if we were to say that the...

no we cannot say space-time 'is' omnipresent, we may say; space-time is inside the circle, omnipresence has space-time they are part of each other, just different descriptions and perspectives of the same thing. it is not something that has it, it is it. all p’s are p, both omnipresence and...

i don’t know what this has to do with the meaning of the thread but; as for beginnings, we need an exact point of origin and as everything comes from something else, there are none. a beginning defines an absolute limit where there are none. in a spiritual context the inferred meaning that...
