Just saw No country for old men, fantastic batman - good, but not brilliant, so i was disappointed. it was too long and not as good as batman begins. what was going on with his voice, it was ridiculous, i kept laughing

There is an argument which runs that Jesus was mad, bad or else must have been the Son of God; that he he could not have been simply a good man or a great teacher. I would love to know what people here think about this. Thanks

I hope I can come here a bit more often

Thanks Alex I've just come across a site which people should visit if they are having any problems with depression/anxiety (either yourself o a loved one) www.moodgym.anu.edu.au

That's great. I always thought that's who you are.

...and and aching back to the time when we were young so carefree and pure

I had no idea it was you. Makes sense now though. I was trying to remember who Alex P was... why the name change? Good to meet you again How are you?

Thanks She is better, but its still there, always will be I guess. Don't know why I wanted to keep it a secret before but it's actually my wife. In truth, I think one of the reasons she is better is that I that handle it much better now. I always used to try and make her happiness the thing...

I think I'll have to try not to think about that without thinking stuff. I think that might be the best thing all round.

Ah, I understand.[/FONT] I think it is also helpful to bear in mind one needs to consider from what viewpoint/s is the person speaking (e.g. relatively and / or absolutely, ideally and / or realistically). Sometimes a teaching is an attempt to break down our “normal” way of thinking and the...

Actually, no. I don't know if the rest of post should have explained it to me, but I don't understand. If we're just talking about "knowing" then yes, it does. Perhaps I misunderstood before, I thought you were suggesting that I should try and change "bad" into "good", this would attach values...

But a desires to transform bad into good, and to avoid the corruption of good into bad, attach values to good and bad. Good is to be desired, worked for, and pursued, bad is to fought against and avoided. Surely that is duality indeed.

No worries:) Though I do hope I get some more answers to my original question:rolleyes:

When I first came across the concept of non-duality, it seemed that I was supposed to believe that "good" and "bad" did not really exist. I have a problem with this since it seems clear, to me at least, that "bad" really does exist. I wonder now if I perhaps misunderstood the concept...

Just read your original post. I'm not sure what I think about it, but am very pleased you posted it, and that I read it.

Hey Bandit Thanks for your reply. I have been thinking over what you wrote but still can't get past the idea every aspect of human experience is within God's grasp. I also know however, that my understanding could be very flawed. Anyway, thanks for the reply and I hope that you continue to...

Hey Bandit Sorry to hear about your grandmother, a few years ago I spent some time caring for patients with alzheimer's and had a taste of the heartache that relatives must go through. As for whether God understands, I've always felt that questions like this reuduce God in some way. I can't...
