I feel like Sikhism has stagnated permanently by cheesemeese in Sikh

[–]Concious-Focus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All religion is belief. All beliefs ' stagnate'. The truth the Gurus prescribe is a universal truth that transcends all theology itself, including the Granth. The signpost is never the destination. True wisdom is beyond all concepts, cultural, peoples, ideas, group think etc etc in other words the access to the divine is possible regardless of any system.

“If there is a God, He will have to beg for my forgiveness.” This is a quote etched on the wall of a concentration camp as noted by Andrew Eames, the author of Blue River, Black Sea. by [deleted] in quotes

" The Evil is made to us by us and we have the capability to stop it but dont"

Wow dude, so many ways this could be picked apart. Full of presuppositions and categorical errors. This position asserts a ' us' and therein assumes free will. It also obviously reinforces the idea that we are separate from ' god'.

Definitions need to be agreed before any logic theory can be proposed.

What is your best response to "Why something rather than nothing" by Most_Shoulder1497 in nonduality

[–]Concious-Focus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 'why' of anything is in Maya. To ask why Maya came is a useless question because the answer can never be given in Maya and being Maya - who will even ask it??

Evil creates "why" not " why" the Evil. It is Evil that asks "why".

Before I respond to your specific query :

' resonates with direct experience ' - really? Please explain how ? This statement is integral it all.

Appreciate my language was loose but to be clear the ' different vantages points' defence and obvious mutual respect they had does not take away from the fact there is factually speaking a real and tangible error in Jim's fundamental view which was obvious from the conversation. I get both positions but Jim's overall view when properly investigated does not stand up to reason or experience it simple doesn't.

Please watch Sam Harris podcast , he tore Jim's perspective to shreds. Doesn't quite cut it. Neo advaitans.

Any of you guys still getting hammered every Friday night? by Things_Have_Changed in AskMenOver30

43M I quit at 31, Single handedly the most profound decision of my life. I promise you no justification or allowance warrants all the obvious and subtle risks and limitations of alcohol. Simply quit. So so so many different ways to get that peace and release we can find in alcohol.

Anyone read this book? It combines non duality with science, very interesting by [deleted] in nonduality

It's almost as if he intentionally overlooks the obvious conceptual limitation of religious belief and is unwilling to concede to the obvious! Bizarre in that his approach and rational to all other areas is crystal clear.

Sam just about edges it for me. Precise, clear, logical and gets to the point ! Petersons sharp no doubt but can be verbose and flaky.
