Hi all. Recently I've got this simple, yet tough question regarding evolution. If evolution happens only because of survival of the fittest, why did the life evolve beyond Bacteria/viruses and other singe cell organisms? I mean viruses/bacteria can survive in the kind of environment no...

Hi all. I really do not understand Atheists (those who refuse to acknowledge anything above matter, don't want to accept bigger reality, life after death, etc). They think they know everything when it comes to paranormal, yet they do know that they themselves lack absolute knowledge. A...

For example, Buddhism does not believe in a separate "entity" known as ego or some sort of induvidial independance, and their practice helps a person to realise that. So how can a person be egoistic without any ego? The realisation comes not because you torture yourself like some yogis do, but...

What about "emunah lemalah mi daat" ? Problem with this paragraph is again, many other mystics have claimed the same thing. But then again in Kabbalah as in any other tradition relies on a person to trust the methodic. You could see the effects of materialistic science (and make certain...

[/b] You could be reborn in a desirable or undesirable place. You could experience pleasant and unpleasant (heaven/hell) sensations wherever you are. BTW, Christianity taught rebirth, so did Judaism. There are plenty of paradoxes in science (involving Relativity), that does not make it...

Perhaps. I mean reward does not have to be monetary! Reward could be a pleasant feeling, feeling of superiority, or even a good addition to a resume. For example surving those who you consider great is a personal reward. Nobody would be a slave to a nobody. But if the Pope (or whoever famous...

Quick comment: I've also have said that so called altruistic facts may simply be reflex of some sort, as animals do not have the reasoning capacity that we do. In fact there is big debate about animals, are they automatons or have limited consiousness. If humans appear to be completely egoistic...

Actually I've read somewhere that even heroic actions are egoistical. I mean when a person rescues someone it can be due to these consious or subconsious reasons for compensation/reward such as: fame, or recognition, or inability not to act (thus showing self weakness), karmic/religions...

If you follow the orthodox Kabbalistic dates then Sefer Yetzirah at around ~1811-1600 BC was written in Hebrew by Abraham. (In what language was Malah Raziel written, the book attributed to Adam. Was it in Hebrew? If so, than it was ~ 3760 BC) Probably Impossible. Hebrew language is structured...

Of course. With so many cultures, so many philosophical viewpoints, it is not surprising that so many religions and philosophies have appeared. There are as many philosophies as there are philosophers... But there is ONE science. There is one thing that sheds the light, and that is personal...

Thank you for a very interesting post! Those are from Tibetan/tantric buddhism? Because when I studied theravadan buddhism, I did not encounter these things (and I've read a lot from Pali Cannon, in english). Could G-d be an underlying natural law that is behind and/or includes those five...

That is a great quote, which I agree and disagree at the same time... While it is a waste of time to ponder questions that are either unanswerable or unhelpful in the short term, knowing all you can about source of your trouble IS important. An easy rebutal to that phrase would be "It is...

There are many emperic systems out ther, some of them claim to be like science as well. What is the difference in the emperic element between Kabbalah and other systems and mystic practices (which are based on induvidial perception). Thanks. As much as I like Ashlagian Kabbalah, it has a...

That is what I am thinking... Increasing raw computational power of a computer may not be enough to make it THINK like we do, it can make it crunch numbers, but not have fuzzy logic, heuristics, problem solving, creative/imagination abilities like we do. So other than us having stronger "cpu"...

Hi all. Question: Is the human brain's (intelligence, thinking) function like a computer's cpu/AI? In other words is our brain a biological version of the CPU (and cpu an artificial copy of our brain)? 2nd part of the question: Is it possible to build AI that thinks like the human brain? If...

Very easy reply is: G-d is perfect, It has no need to (insert a paradox).

Madonna has everything she needs (she has money, fame, good looks, power, etc) she has little more to find from this world, so she keeps looking somewhere else. There comes a time when person starts to look for something bigger than life...

Hi, It is a good thing that she is trying to change her materialistic ways and maybe due to her celebrity status, she could bring Kabbalah to the mainstream (or ruin its image). However, she studies (as far as I know) in the Kabbalah Center which is a for-profit organization and is not a...

It is funny as I've watched lectures today about Shvirat Kelim today... These "pieces" are for EVERYONE to unite. Jew = yehudi (one who wants to unite with the Source). What matters is what is inside rather outside.... This whole subject is VERY complex... Tzimtzum Alef/Beht... Olam Nekudim...

I would actually go with desire if we are getting philosophical... But think about this way, is sunset/sunrise RANDOM? What we call random is something that has not been research and formulated into a formula to make it predictable. Also how can randomness exist if there is no freedom of will...
