Pleasure. I hope it would also be your pleasure to reply.

My bad, sorry for the misdirection. I will fix it soon.



Yea but I did not say that it is the only way to change. It just would help, and most effectively.



May I ask if you try to...

Nice post Nik. Wonderful experience. I feel tempted to take up the meditation.



Some people experience something great when they realise some generalities, say, when a general realises certain...

Come on Nik, are you really content in watching? Let me rephrase the question: how did the divine experience made you a different person?

Nice posts. But not sure what 'they' refer to.

Given what you said about the meditations it seems analytical meditation is not different from ethical thinking and placement meditation reminds of...

You described the images in the experience in exact detail. As for what those images made you feel, perhaps as you say you did not describe it well. Anyway would it be right to say that it is the...

We know many about many dead lives. True, a Buddhist might say that none of them might be his 'previous life'. But if some of them are similar to his present life in some ways, would not he learn...

Alright. Let's check out PC first.



It Is caused by your 'previous lives', partly. Another important cause would be the past of your present life. Not sure whether you agree with this?


...

'The past does not matter' would be an astonishing thing to say, as much as 'if part of something seems right then the whole is likely to be right' and of course 'we have previous lives'. Medical...

Since the past of This life can also be illuminating, it is important to see the usual continuities. Do buddhists believe that this is less important than seeing continuities between lifetimes? For...

Do 'those with wisdom' look back?



Then it might be funny too that we often are suckers of a sense of idealogical continuity with religion trees or school history and tradition.



Not sure...

Man how can I be sure how long it takes if what I know about the the path is very limited. 'Am sure it takes a decade to get to Atlantis but not sure how to get there'?



I agree that taking...

Man you would leave us hanging at this point?



Expected no such explanation but that you address my idea and its supporting reasons. This is a forum where people Discuss, no?



Did not...

I can move back to when I was in the craddle but that is it. Seems strange that compassion is related here. I wonder what is the relation.



Ye but not as often as we do not know how to change....

Thanks for the info PC. Indeed nobody can prove the veracity of reincarnation but people believed in it. I guess this means they saw reasons. If you tell me, now an early Hindu, that I had been...

Hi PC what you say dispels not the suspicion that Shakyamuni might have told noble lies. It comes down to the ideas, to whether they seem sound. I present my views on the ideas in illustrated and...

Hi PC,



my question is what is your view on the tri-relation? Thanks to our discussion I see a view on this relation but it is a bit vague hence want your or anyone else's view.



That the...

True asking involves an apparant difficulty. I am glad you can bear it. True answering indeed has the pleasure made just to bear it.



This part I do not understand, except in the way I tried...

Thanks for elaborate response Paulclem. Beg your pardon for my delay.



Is he saying 'I am presently a father but not forever so there is no such thing as I AM a father and hence no such thing...

NikolaiI, currently I am understanding meditation as Paulclem describes, in which case I can see why it would bring so much health benefit. Happy heart, healthy body, unmistakable. My question now...

Einstein and the like had nothing sensible to say about it, and Feynman is the smart one... but did Feynman achieve anything them Einsteins did?



The point is not what Damasio said about...

This is meaningful to me too, and to most people, I hope. So you are saying that meditation + this = a condition of great peace and joy? Since I do not know what exactly a state of mind meditation...

Quantum physics needs philosophy to make sense of its mind-bending discoveries. Einstein, Bohr and Kuhn are among your examples. While social sciences, at theoretical level, are simply...

Thanks Paulclem. First I would say am not interested in disputing Buddhism, because some of it makes sense and I have seen some amazing powers of it. I am trying to make sense of the idea of no self,...

Thanks NicolaiI. The quote seems to say that concentration and relaxation can get us wise. But what does wise mean here?
