we know where all thought comes from by being the observer of thought as well as mind and ego. Consciousness does not change, awareness and perception do. Awareness is a subset of consciousness and perception is a subset of awareness. Indeed.. Perceptions lead to understanding awareness, and becomi...

Well over 50% of the post is quotes because the conversations seem to get dissolved and blurry unless we stay on target. If I do not post quotes, it seems that positions can morph all across the board. I knew that too.. and indeed Ones thoughts..always morph across the board.. which goes back to th...

I was just thinking the same!

When we find ourselves blown hither and thither by the winds of life we have only to remember the path, the path that is we ourselves, flowing like a river to the Ocean of Oneness, the Oneness of All Things, the Oneness which is God. It is our destiny to be this river, it remains only for us to rec...

For me, it is a much greater existential issue than this, as it involves a permanent change in perception involving every aspect of one's life. It isn't a compartmentalized, theoretical form of knowledge to be dragged out whenever arcane philosophical questions are raised. It is a life-changing und...

I see many different perceptions surfacing.. The 'straight' path.. is a way of perceiving in order to navigate through those winds or confusion.. One must seek clarity always.. one may reach the destination via many different paths derived with the same way of perceiving awareness. One may then unde...

...and the chamber is a very nice place ;-)
The path is very straight, once you see the way.

Most of the mainstream religions are all but identical in that they believe in a vague, invisible, humanity-loving higher power of some kind. So in that sense you are right. The religions of Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, etc, are different in outer forms only. At their core, they are all the same r...

What exactly is the point you were making??? and what did you hope to gain from that?

Probably in some ways they take things and change them.. but as I am not in full posession of their beliefs i cannot therefore be acurate in my understanding of it...I would have to look into it.

Although, I did just make a post on "Judging people" if you all want to get into another monkey poop fight on that one. haha... Mmmm... Monkey poop fight:) Hahah.. Ill take a look later.. although I have already on another thread discussed judgement and dicernment..etc.. Brokenhead I thin...

When the separate Self, which knows reality as separate and composed of seperate elements is let go of, transcended, there is no confusing knowledge but only Pure Awareness. A knower of Brahman or Self as Shankara explains is a commentator.. Rangaramanuja adds, " From this knowing comes the att...

brokenhead: You are saying the only "credible" evidence is logical evidence. You go on to say "which is impossible to deny." I already knew that you consider "logical" evidence to be impossible to deny. But you never say what would constitute such evidence. Any logical...

The Upanishads... Each give a snap shot of transcendental reality... Aldous Huxley called it the 'perinnial' philosophy. the conviction marked by personal experience, that there is a spark of the divine in every creature, and that to realise this divinity is lifes highest goal. Wake up this state th...

Quote: And nor should you be told, all we need is to understand things, truth and people will see that all hearts in goodness are one. Jesus was a man like us, and we are the same as him and all Gods 'children' in maturity of understanding we are all Gods. We might very well be Gods. If so, believi...

You wouldnt if they were invisible!! no matter how big they were ..... Doh!!!

We were convinced all life and conciseness was merely a single soul experiencing reality over and over again without the boundaries of time to prevent it from being "everything." Aka... God. Jesus' message is simple..;-) Mystics and saints, sages, and spititual people all see a universal ...

I just got hung up on religion I guess. That is the problem with most.. They hear the word Religion and then tend to switch off. Remember religion is just a word, which has many stereotypical tendancies to ones mind. My understanding of typical truth and men... is that popular opinion is truth... a...

(OK heres another thread...Please bear in mind that is from the viewpoint of 'Christianity' and I understand that many will turn and flee in horror... but just replace the word 'God' with creator.. if you believe in such and replace 'father' with the same... again I do realise that this post may be ...
