Beautiful accidents can be miraculous. Still, thank you for the clarification. I wholeheartedly welcome the detour. Indeed, the path of wisdom, the qu...
It is not ethical to judge for someone else that a good they could be deeply grateful for should not be bestowed because one has been tempted by the r...
An accident would qualify as a woe, but the car can also save one's life as one is attempting to reach the hospital or enable one to spend time with t...

The emphasis on direct experience and the interconnected nature of reality are definitely common elements. I am glad that Mr Watts has done so much to...
This is essentially Advaita Vedanta. Brahman, through the power of Maya (often translated as "illusion"), limits himself as a form of divine play (Lil...
Thank you very much. And I can't help but agree. So true. I also think that there can be a glimpse of the ultimate symphony as the melange is perceive...
:up: I am grateful for the addition of the symbolic realm and the insights from psychoanalysis. It adds a captivating layer of richness to our explora...
Apologies for the brevity of my previous response. When we talk about non-being as being, we are exploring the idea that there is a deeper reality bey...
From a materialistic perspective, I still believe that a bottomless chasm cannot be good or bad for anyone, which is why the possible need for needs d...
Nescience might be inescapable at one level (particularly if we are staring at eternity), but knowledge need not be a mere dream (if that inspires ang...
In the depths of a programme, there can be efficiency and wonder that provides something beyond the universal essentials. An anchor to a consequential...
Non-being as being (this isn't intentional) closely aligned to being is a fascinating idea. In this perspective, non-being is not synonymous with noth...
I would say that people of all economic backgrounds can benefit from being able to raise a person, witness their journey, and help them become a bette...
One's life does not have to be someone's death if one's is not forced to contribute towards the cause of life by physical or psychological pressure. I...

:pray: India is launching a mission to the Moon this month. It's doubtlessly an invigorating time to be alive and behold the astonishing human achieve...
If only there was some elasticity already present, sir. Between people for whom the mere suggestion of the pervasiveness of consciousness is blasphemo...
I am not entirely convinced of anything (including natalism), but I would certainly agree that I support panpsychism. I don't see it in conflict with ...
The material reality, according to panentheism, is not separate from God. If natural could someday include the conscious, then perhaps we may not requ...
I tend to fluctuate between Brahman and consciousness. As long as the word is not being used to describe a rigid concept of a divine that supposedly p...
True As I said earlier, I do believe that consciousness has a higher role to play here and that it exists everywhere (possibly in a rudimentary form a...

I don't think that claims about Lady Mountbatten make much sense. Not only were these people living livees that were always under the public eye, but ...
There is much that I do not understand, but I sincerely appreciate your choice to consider my opinions. What you wrote does make sense to me. I think ...
Your comment reminded me of Wikipedia's description of Pandit Nehru: "Jawaharlal Nehru (/?ne?ru/ or /?n?ru/; Hindi: (listen); juh-WAH-hurr-LAHL NE-h?-...
It's an honour to be of some use. I cannot possibly hope to represent the views of more than a billion people, but from my experiences, I would say th...
Materialism and short-sighted hedonism must be tackled before it is too late. Simultaneously, religious extremism and a tendency to drift away from ea...
Yes, Buddhists do delve into the nature of desires. Whilst they mention the negatives, they also believe that we can transcend our problems (nirodha)....
The pleasure is all mine. :pray: I would imagine that such a perfect state would simply not involve the desire for novel experiences, or it would some...
As a Hindu, I would not outrightly reject such an idea (though I don't think that it would be necessary if Mahatma Gandhi's version of Hinduism prevai...

We can only do our best. The rest lies in the lap of the future. As the number of sources of influence increase, complexity does arise. At the same ti...
The fact that you begun and already have a name is a leap over me and many others. I am sure you will get there someday. Quality matters over unnecess...
That alone is enough to make my day. Honestly, I never many t-shirts as some of my relatives are biased against them. Now, I have a good reason to sho...
Or, you may end up as a practically infinite source of hope, love, peace, unity, and joy when the night comes. If I am (and many others) are here toda...
In case the first article asks for subscribing, I would suggest that it is opened through Google. Searching using the following words should be suffic...
I know that this is somewhat off-topic, but I wanted to ask if you have read Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's The Discovery of India. This book covers the br...
I would say that moral responsibility (as opposed to one that may have a legal dimension) transcends existence (though this would obviously lead to ne...
Influences can be big and diminutive. Although one's misunderstanding of human nature could indirectly influence someone and worsen their immoral tend...
I am thankful for your gracious support. My own view on utopia (assuming it can ever be achieved, of course) is that it would have to necessarily avoi...
I understand. I was only trying to stress that ideas such as a legacy and a potent positive impact can be meaningful. The negatives may not have cease...
The possibility of improvement does not nullify the good that does exist as a consequence of past actions. Personally, I don't think that the brutal e...
