In our world there aren't. I mean in macro scales, sub-light, average temperature, etc. If there are, please be free to post them. First Cause: When we say First Cause, we base it on our perception of time (which actually may not exist as we know it outside of our perceptions). So First Cause...

I know there is a similiar thread, but I'd like to start this thread with a poll. How powerful is magick in general, how high can it go? Please vote and please reply (perhaps describe your experience) about it. Please base it on experience which YOU had or had witnessed, not on folklore...

Hi all. I've found this interesting article about meditation, and possible explanations for what has happened to Buddha in his life. The article is long and hard to read, but interesting. I would like to hear your opinion on it. http://www.innerworlds.50megs.com/enlightenment.htm The article...

What is freedom? Freedom to do anything you'd like? We can't do that. I mean, try to fly like a bird, or live 10,000 years, or even grow taller by 6 inches right now. Freedom to fill your desires? And whose desires are those? Who made you get those desires? Are you the one who makes the...

I like to study to change myself and accomplish something, I am not a historian. Of course I keep a critical eye on everything, but today in rapidly deteriorating society we need help and as we see it has to come from Above to help us. In today's dog-eat-dog world, you HAVE to have a confidence...

Could you please elaborate by what you mean "Western Approach" ? For some reason I cannot read Dion Fortune's Mystical Qabbalah, Crowley's, Mathers, and others take on Kabbalah. I prefer what you might term "rabbinical" or "classical" Kabbalah. I didn't have the time to sift through other...

Unless you are a very literacy minded person, I believe that there are many finer points that a person could miss if he reads Shakespeare without reflecting deeply into the text. I've heard somewhere that there are MANY levels to understanding of even children's stories. Nothing to say about...

Not nessesarily. It may be "incomplete" or "out of style" answer that is not useful for US, modern people with modern ways of understanding. Pshat was enough for people of THOSE times, but today I believe that we need a more proper interpretation for US. Look it is hard to understand...

Today I think that it is required for most people to study Torah through the lense of Proper Kabbalah. You know, I really don't think that a person can understand deep concepts today using the language and the style that worked 3000+ years ago. I mean all the deep layers of meanings and other...

I believe that it is an instruction manual for enlightment (Ohr, Oraa), a very valuable one. At commonly accepted time, 1000s of years ago. I agree with that every letter is a powerful symbol. But I think that sacredness comes in its value as an informational tool, not as some holy magickal...

I don't believe that book called "Torah" existed before it was written by a Human. Also I see no reason why having a word that was also used in Persian would corrupt the Torah. The sacredness of every letter is probably in the informational sense, not mystical/magical. You can express...

I know that, but I've said that not to confuse people who do not know. Maybe I made it more confusing that way, pardon me. Maybe he did, until he created Hebrew. Also, I believe that there are MANY idioms in the Torah, Old testament, Bible, etc. Some phrase that does not make any sense to us...

My humble 2 cents, Yes you are right that there are more names of G-d in the Torah. But don't forget that great Rambam has said that thr entire Torah are the names (qualities) of G-d. 2) Remember as I've said, a line from Torah ("Old" testament) says that "There is none else but him"...

In India there was a sect that beleived that if you could prolong your life, you would have more time for enlightment and salvation because aging, death and rebirth slows down the process. How? well when you are in your 90s dying in a hospice, you can't really do much work, nor if you are a very...

Isn't that a good thing when a system changes due to changing science and all? I mean the systems (usually religious) that dogmatically remain the same throught the ages, get run over by new discoveries and become ridiculous in modern age... About Authorship of Zohar, the biggest experts hold...

Hi all. Does anyone know if there are any techniques (that work) that could prolong the physical youth of a person? Just imagine what you could do if you could remain young for 100s of years. All the books you could read, all the university classess you could take, all the philosophies you...

Doubtfully... good article that I've found at: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:V1_DevGPY7cJ:www.bswa.org/publications/topdf.php%3Fhtml%3DBuddhism_The_Only_Real_Science.html+buddhism+is+the+only+science&hl=en I used to be a scientist. I did Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University...

Maybe there isn't evil? If G-d exists, than it is all powerful and absolute law of nature. Being all powerful, absolute, perfect it also must be just and altruistic. Evil is our non understanding of laws of nature, and like swimming upstream it gives us difficulties. Deuteronomy 4:35 - there is...

Yes there are huge differences. Hebrew language cannot be adequately translated into English (or others) and the translation is always a rougher version of the original. There are PLENTY things in Hebrew Torah that was not translated properly into English. The way words are built, the connection...

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Human civilization has existed for thousands of years and we never have been absolutely happy. Today despite being #1 in technology, Developed world leads in the number of depressions. There were plenty of people who had everything, yet they still were unhappy in the bottom of...
