    Zen koans, anyone?

    I was simply asking for a quick example of a Mondo - though I'll do a quick search on Google instead. :)

    hi all!

    LOL! Glad to see you're not a stranger! Btw - don't be too surprised if this place looks different tomorrow - especially after the forum upgrade. :)

    The romance of non-Christian Europe

    Celtic Wicca sounds like a interesting subject to examine further - thanks for the tip. :) As for the Temple Brigantia - great stuff! I'm in Yorkshire, just above the Humber. Although the Parisi are recording as living around here around the time of the Roman arrival under Claudius, they just...

    hi all!

    Hi Ade, and welcome to comparative-religion.com! My, what a strange habit! Writing, I mean - seems we have a very significant base of both aspiring and published writers here. :)

    Private Message form

    Hopefully the forum conversion *tomorrow* should have any possible bugs addressed. :)

    Important Notice

    36 hours from now I will be converting this forum to vBulletin v3. This is a major change to superior forum software, that should hopefully past without much of a hitch. The planned start of conversion is scheduled for Tuesday morning, beginning just after 9am GMT. I post the notice now, at...

    Personal flaws

    I thought I'd start a topic inviting people to name their personal flaws, and how they seek to correct them. :) For my own part, arrogance is an especially problem. It seems that the acquiring of knowledge is a great way to feed this flaw. Obviously, the more you learn the more you know! So I...

    All paths lead to God?

    The "popular" saying "All paths lead to God" is one of my personal principles. Just as there is one world, one sky, one sun - each with many names and expressions - so I see that there is only one Divinity, with a myriad of expressions and names. However, this is not a belief everybody will...

    Why Believe????

    Certainly true - and the human animal is capable of a very wide range of experiences. :) I guess that reflects in our great variation in language, culture, and belief.

    The Twin Pillars of Wisdom

    You are posting well, Vajradhara! We have a small but vary varied forum here, and it's good to see the mature nature of the membership so far. So I'm glad to see you here. I'm learning, always. :)

    What is the soul?

    Yes, my bad on the use of the word "invoke" - evoke should have been used, and within a much clearer sentence. Just FYI - the other two admin accounts - foundationist and foundationist.org were used as aliases to test out some new board features, and provide an emergency access in the event...

    Anyone Else having a problem?

    Apologies for that - likely I was messing with the index file and didn;t realise you'd come online. Judging by the time you posted it's not unlikely. :) If there was another issue I'm unaware of then it's something I need to watch for. However, next week I'm going to convert this forum over to...

    MOVED: Anyone Else having a problem?

    A feedback issue. :) So it's MOVED: http://www.comparative-religion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=229 But I'll add my reply here, as personally hate it when mods move my own topics when a reply would have been perhaps just as easy: :) Apologies for that - likely I was messing with the...

    Zen koans, anyone?

    Rest mass - ah, of course. :) And that explains a great deal! Mondos is not a topic I remember encountering - which you be interested in taking this up? As to the quotes system - sorry - new board coming next week that should make it all much easier. :)

    Soul-Friends

    I'm outwardly very outgoing and sociable, but I actually make very few real emotional connections with people. There are some I like to keep track off, but usually it seems as if I'm flowing downstream too fast to keep in touch with them. Not sure what that means in terms of soul groups, soul...

    The Great Extinction is officially here

    On the subject of the loss of marine life, there are preliminary plans to implement marine conservation aeras across Europe. This could be a very significant development - but too little too late? Europe votes for marine reserves

    Atkin's diet?

    I'm becoming tempted to look into this issue. I'm not looking to lose weight, as much as achieve a much more healthy diet. At the moment I know I'm eating too much carbohydrate - and I've suddenly lost the taste for sugar. Actually I have hayfever I'm also wondering at the possible benefits of...

    Constantine conversion caused by meteor strike?

    I actually give Constantine a lot of sympathy. In terms of faith, although his decisions regarding Christianity undoubtedly had political motivation, I see him as a figure profoundly touched by the Christian sense of faith, but who never cared to delve into the complexities in terms of his...

    Zen koans, anyone?

    A massless particle? Is a photon not massless? In which case to picture a massless particle I need only picture light? Or am I being too literal here? I never was very good at riddles. :)

    A Personal God?

    Yes, quite right, Vajradhara - I was being a little flippant there. :) I meant that child-raising provides extreme stresses that can seriously disrupt the calm that spritual exploration tends to require. One solution to immerse myself in spiritual exploration would be to remove myself from my...
