Dear Unveiled artist; peace & love to you We are all cave dwellers. A person who is not a cave dweller would not be found on a forum like this. They would simply be enjoying the bliss of Being without taking any part in the wider human society. That is also the reason why anyone who starts to...

Dear RJM Thank you for your quick reply, your gratitude, and you giving me feedback in return. An excellent deal. :) Not to make a long story about it, but yes, the number 108 is consider auspicious in Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, New Age Movements and astrology. Perhaps it would fit in well...

Dear Admins; thank you very much for allowing me to enjoy your forum for free. The least one can do is to try and give some constructive feedback in gratitude. When writing a reply to a thread, there are three buttons under the text box; 'Post Reply', 'Upload File' and 'More Options'. Pressing...

Dear Friends and Children of God; may the Light of Truth shine in all hearts It is wonderful to consider these difficult questions. May God grant us sincerity and insight. In my humble view, most of these kinds of questions can be compared to cave-dwelling humanoids who have never been outside...

The Parable of the Grass-Eating Tiger Once a tigress attacked a herd of goats. A hunter saw her from a distance and killed her. The tigress was pregnant and gave birth to a cub as she expired. The cub grew up in the company of the goats. The goats ate grass and the cub followed their example...

Dear RabbiO; May God grant you a life of blessings and joy. If anything I may have said, caused you to feel I was rude and ill mannered, then I humbly ask that you forgive me for this wrong. As I am not a westerner nor have I ever lived in a western country, I do not like to use sarcasm...

My wife was telling our daughter who was 6 years old at that time about Covid-19, and why there are lock-downs. After asking many questions the daughter said she had a better solution than lock-downs. We asked what solution she had. She said just bury the corpses in their families' gardens...

Dear Cino; I appreciate your gratitude, and thank you for starting me off with some example answers. If only our teachers at school could have used this method. According to the instructions which I have been given, there are only 3 objects in life. Yourself (both body and mind), not yourself...

Dear powessy; thank you very much for taking the time once again to try to share knowledge with another. I understand little of what you are sharing, but I respect it. As for the meditation you suggested; again, it is beyond me. By the loving will of God, I am His slave. Whenever I am not...

Dear wil; a pleasure to speak with you again. It is just a metaphor, not a story with a plot. The human being also makes zero effort to begin reducing the ego before he actually begins reducing the ego. This metaphor is commonly used by the non-dual Hindu seekers, although I am not sure who...

Dear Readers Thank you for taking some time to look at this thread. Over the centuries Saints have given us beautiful imagery in the forms of stories to help us catch a glimpse of the Truth. The Lord Jesus gave us the parable of the Good Samaritan. The Lord Buddha gave us the metaphor of the...

Dear powessy; thank you greatly for your fascinating input, and making yourself available for us. If 'myself' was created for colonizing other worlds, is it not then wrong to be homosexual as you would then not be able to reproduce so as to start the colony? Is it possible that you could...

Dearest Brother Thomas; again I am very thankful that we can 'iron whets iron' together. I always appreciate your detailed timely responses. Here we are in complete agreement. Some second language English users do not like the word 'religion' as its original meaning is 'to tie securely'...

Dearest Cino. May joy fill your heart. As far as my limited experience goes, if a person who is a dedicated mainstream believer of 'Hinduism' or Buddhism is asked if they want to go to Heaven. The answer will be 'no'. I feel there may again be misunderstanding over the term 'Heaven'. Please...

Peace and love to you, dear Cino. I thank you for your feedback; may it sharpen everyone's quest for Truth. It was simply a humble example of reducing preferences. Three is a good amount of examples, but having written only 2, one more was needed. :-D But to be honest, you are right that in...

Dear powessy I thank God for the opportunity to be able to share some questions with you. Firstly, thank you for bringing your very interesting spiritual ''skill-set'' into a public forum rather than sitting in a cave as many Holy Men choose to do. I have read some of your recent posts, and...

Dear wil; it is a pleasure indeed to have your ear again. The reply to this question would be standard teachings on reincarnation and karma. These teachings are explained much better by other sources online, so please excuse me for passing the buck. Here is a link if desirable...

Dearest Unveiled artist I greatly appreciate your question. In brief so as not to tire people, the reply is actually referred to in your question. Most of what people say is just talk. Talk is good, but talk which reminds us of God is better, I'd say. I am also of the opinion that using the...

Dear wil. May the dear Lord shine His loving Face upon you. In my humble view, friends are those who are attached to one's ego, whereas ''your enemy hates your ego, which the seeker wants to kill; thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.'' (a Ramana Maharshi quote) We...

Dearest Unveiled artist Thank you so much for inquiring. Let us keep it short as it is off-topic. It is a little difficult for me to reply to you. My Guru taught me to humbly acknowledge that God is One but has many Names, to reverently love God with all my heart, and help others to do the...
