I'm about half way through, "Living at the Source". And I must say, although he speaks rather cryptically, one gets the sense that there is some substance to what he's trying to say. I'm reading...

Hi Nikolai,



This sounds like the philosophy of one of my favorite jazz musicians, Sun Ra. Ever heard of him? I would encourage anyone to explore his music and his message. A warning: It...

Hi shahsaab1 and Mark,





Doesn't it seem equally impossible that this 'someone' was just sitting around for infinity and then 6000 years ago decided to snap its omnipotent fingers and create...

Greetings Mark,

I tend to agree with you. I think many folks are brought up in families where even questioning the truth of the Bible is unthinkable. As they mature it just becomes natural to...

Hi Nikolai,

I really enjoyed Siddhartha a few years back and I'm looking forward to reading Living at the Source. It will be a change from the science fiction I've been reading lately. I will...

Hey Nikolai,

I've just ordered Living at the Source from Amazon. I have Amazon Prime, so 2 days free shipping :)

I look forward to reading it.

Hi Nikolai,

It would seem that Swami Vivekananda was a personification of what Christians call the golden rule. From the little I know of him I think that his philosophy is also compatible with...

Hiya NewDiscovery,



It takes a lot more than jejune rhetoric to offend me young fellow, hehe. No worries.

Peace,
Doug

Hi ShadowFire,

Thanks for your response.



And thanks for your honesty.

Hi JDC,

I'm not an atheist. I'm agnostic. In my opinion anything is possible and nothing is certain. I will admit that earth-bound religions like Christianity, Islam, etc. seem like nothing...

Hi ShadowFire,

And welcome! What do you think heaven is like? Please describe your vision of heaven as specifically as possible. For example:

Will we be individuals?
Will we remember our...

Thanks Jersea,

That makes perfect sense.

Hi NewDiscovery,

To me this seems like preaching which in my opinion shouldn't be allowed on this board. I did read it however, and though the rambling nature of the prose made no sense to me, I...

Hi,

Just an off topic observation/question: I've been away from this board for a while (4 months?) and I've noticed that the topics are pretty much the same. However there does seem to be a drop...

Hi Virgil,



I hate to be calculative, but could you be very specific on this, please. What, exactly, do you experience? Was if physical? Mental? I've not experienced anything that I would...

Hi Virg,

I've tried, I promise you. But as of yet nothing. I do think there is something amazing going on in the universe, but as I've said many times I haven't a clue what it is. But I'm...

Ezekiel. If a universal creator exists then it truly is an extraterrestrial and we are not alone.

"And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire...

Hi JBI,

I'm going with b. Death is scary.

The promise of eternal bliss is awful tempting--until you really wrap your head around 'eternal'. And unfortunately no one seems to be able to...

Which God?

Cheers,
Doug

Hi Limajean,

Yes, I understand your point and I kind of agree. The common thread among most of the religions I'm familliar with is the golden rule--basically treat others with respect and...

Maybe we just need to be bad sometimes to feel like we're a part of the universe?

Hi Red,

Why would it get angry if it already knows what is going to happen? And, the fact that this is going to happen is a direct concequence of decisions it alone made. Perhaps it is getting...

Hi laidbackperson,

Why? Assuming God is omni-everything, why go through all of this. It already knows the eventual outcome. Why make so many suffer through so much pain and confusion simply to...

Hi Christian,

To me it's word goo. It clarifies nothing, and only smothers it's self in rhetoric. Perhaps I'm just too stoopid to understand it. I find nothing to even suggest that this is...

Hehe, Hi Dale,

I'd like to suggest scuba diving to Blaze. My wife and I have just begun our under water explorations and my goodness how beautiful it is down there!

Yours,
Doug
