I tend to see religions as prescriptions for spiritual memory loss. Perhaps I don't need one because I can remember just fine on my own. Doctor's don't ask you if you beleive in heart medication, they just ask if you're on it and if it's working. I think I might have finished with my religion prescription. Then again, you're only aware of what you ( Read more... )

True religion is the science of truth. You will only get so far without a teacher. Sooner or later you will need a true teacher. Beware of the fakes and frauds. There are far, far more of those.

I don't see truth as being something absolute. truth is not a destination, it is a method, and it doesn't exist on it's own. truth is a straight path, but it's not a straight path to itself. It is relevant to the destination, but it isn't the destination. truth is an adjective posing as a noun. It is a quality of something, it isn't a thing on it's own, and therefore, must be subjective to a.) the thing it's describing, and b.) the interpreter.

What if you go in the shade?

well then would my shadow leave? It would depend on the definition of shadow. is my shadow the absence of light in a particular area? or is it the image that that absence creates? if it's the first, then my being in the shade doesn't affect my shadow. philosophy may still haunt me in that situation. If it is the image, then if i'm in the shade the image disapears. so then I could shake it i supose.

""dude, I think it's true(((uh oh 'true.' Themsr fighing words)), but not in the way that it's said. there will be no "getting to" be everyone and thing you've ever interacted with, you already are. It's a matter of awareness and memory""

yknow i was going to edit that after i posted it (but we can't with comments?) knew that wasn't the right word. and i agree its memory. kinda liek that ouspensky/gurjeuieffe(?)4thWay stuff: "self-Remembering" they're always talking about when one sefl-remebers and leaves the sleepwalking/waking state behind..
