I've come to believe that the real me has decided to experience life as a human being. Having accepted that I reason that my mortal existence is real ...

God is light, darkness is absence of light - absence of everything = nothing. So a part of God only recognising the darkness is unable to recognise it...

If your consciousness is the sum total of of your brain then you just think, period. But if that consciousness is something other, or 'external', to y...

It could mean 'there's non so blind as those that will not see'

What will happen in 12 years time? No one knows, same for any time in the future. We are careering headlong into the unknown.

It's OK, just joking :wink:

Sorry, could you be a bit clearer? :smile:

"You can't be perfectly me. I can't be perfectly you" If every thing is God then your true identity is God, not 'me' in the sense of a separate being,...

First define love. My take on it is - concern for the wellbeing of...another. If, as I believe, Creator/God/Allah/Brahman etc etc (refer to it with wh...

A medal for modesty, worn with pride.

Problem with understanding others is putting yourself in their position, (the other man's shoes, or woman's.) But to really understand what it's like ...

Heh heh.

I could but I ain't going to! Those that know don't talk. Those that talk don't know. I think I'll practice a bit of that!

You die. Your consciousness carries on. Your body decays. That's it. Plenty of reasons to believe that, as much as we might like to fantasize about ot...

I suggest you research near death experiences (NDEs)

Or you are dreaming your so called 'life', convinced it is real. But if before death you haven't realised you are dreaming, then after death you will ...

Using the analogy of a computer simulation. Imagine being in a suit with sensory technology from the day you were born, you wouldn't have outside know...

Of course only if it was, but if it was, then probabilities would go out of the window because they would be an illusion along with the world as (we t...

You're perfectly entitled to your opinion.

Well if those ideas are dumb then so is philosophy, or any ideas that are strictly non scientific.

Because if the world was created yesterday, or today or even just now then our senses are deceiving us. All sorts of reasons.

Yes, but if we wish to test those ideas we still only have our senses.

All we have are the five senses which can easily be fooled.

As I believe everyone is the one consciousness, or God if you like, then your real identity is that consciousness, separate from the body/brain. So I ...

If, as I keep stating, God is playing the part of everyone, then your enemy is really you in a different guise. If that is indeed the case then rather...

The whole point of the objective world is to provide discord. God the creator exists alone, pure loving consciousness, and created an imaginary world ...

"The answer to the problem of suffering is not away from the problem but in it. The inevitability of pain will not be met by deadening sensitivity but...

Some believe, as I do, that the one consciousness that is called God/Allah/Brahman etc is the only thing that is ultimately real, it is pure love but ...

Anchovies :vomit:

When I was in my teens and twenties I used to swing between happiness and unhappiness, but as the years have rolled by that swing has evened out and n...

I do get pissed off with my workshop sometimes when it's untidy, maybe happiness means not using it, just thinking about it.

Oh, and a pillar drill and compressor, sigh.

A warm well ordered workshop, with a lathe.

Happiness just - happens.

Ken Dodd reckoned it was a one man band.

Maybe we do know but have forgotten, temporarily.

I reckon after we die we choose our existence, we can create whatever, (for ourself, not for others) But I suspect we eventually get the urge for the ...

It's starting to set in now! Contentment, I used to dread that when I was young, now I embrace it.

I had to Google him (ooer' missus) I would have to spend time digesting that. I do believe we use our brains to project the appearance of the objectiv...

Yeah - most of the time. Mind you I do enjoy a spot of ennui now and then.

I don't think you can, it's the transition from one state to another that makes you happy. After that boredom sets in.

But then how can happiness be experienced if it's not preceded by a period of unhappiness.

I always think of Elvis Presley's definition of happiness "Someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to" Sounds simple, and thou...

I created a dream last night, it was absolutely real, complete with actions. But of course it wasn't.

As I believe that we are all one, God, the only thing that exists, then I conclude that the so called 'Universe' isn't ultimately real but was created...

I think they can develop over a lifetime of experience and reflection. Or remain static if we are too lazy to accept change, a stubborn refusal to ack...

If God created the world to experience life in various creatures the human being would surely be the most fascinating with its complex kaleidoscope of...

Time I suppose, time to gradually emerge into an optimistic way of life?

My take: Insecurity breeds insincerity, the thought of being sincere means being open and that could lead to being taken advantage of. Keep the defenc...

I see a lot of anger in people, I'm referring to unjustified anger as opposed to the hot temporary type, been there myself. Unjustified and simmering ...
