You are of course quite right in your final comments there, Fenrus.

SacredStar wrote: Well i would be happy to just live in a Kingdom of Love and total peace forevermore, I do not need to be shown darkness, or evil to know what is unjust and wrongdoing. Dear Star, If you follow that to its logical conclusion, you would be living in fluffy world, a lotus-eating...

My friend, I have not disavowed or criticised your personal affirmations and would not dream of doing so. The early part of your post is fine and reasoned in that the explanations are your personal affirmations, and they satisfy yourself. I only question what you then project into the...

Just a small, (but perhaps significant?) question and a final comment? Ben: Why do you seem to ignore the Thomas gospel in your Post 12? Why does one collection and collation of ancient texts by human beings, with various purposes perceivable, have precedence over others? Also you claim...

Originally Posted by foundationist.org I have met quite a few people in life who claimed to be spiritual … even somewhat enlightened – yet these people I know have the very nerve to regard themselves as superior also – and even state that those who are not as enlightened as they have no...

With due respect, OnLineGuru, you are making claims beyond your personal - and I agree honestly affirmed - beliefs to matters in the real world, where objectivity and rationalism play a part. Let us all consider your claims. You base a great deal upon some supposed relevance of '7' as being...

Ryuuko says: Nothing good can come from "evil", but think about it, rationally and clearly. Are not many acts described and agreed upon as 'evil' followed or even accompanied by acts of 'good'? Is it not the case that periods typified in human history as 'evil' (e.g., dehumanising...

Firstly, the film. I think it is an entertaining and thought-provoking piece of work. I do recommend people try to see it wherever it may be shown. It is hard to discuss unless you happen to have seen it. It seems to me that clauses in insurance policies re: acts of God (which incidentally seem...

May I personally thank you, Fernus, for a calm and reasonable, rational post which I personally think asks the right kind of questions. I certainly agree that the whole thing does seem to turn upon the 'conflict' between the personally validated spiritual responses of good people who find...

This all sounds suspiciously like advertising, OnLine Guru. You quote: "Beyond 2012, out technologies will take a different direction. People will learn the essence of spirituality, the relation between body and the soul, the reincarnation and the fact we are connected with each other are...

What can I do but profess total innocence of any personal criticisms? They were not intended, if you construe them as such, without explaining your personal grounds for the affirmations. I have already apologised to you, if that is how you see the comments, but do so again. Statements I have...

With due respect, SacredStar, I have worked with the dying, both the mentally stable and unstable. There simply is no evidence for claimed miracles that I have ever come across, in extensive research and concerns for many a long year! The burden is upon yourself to provide it. There are as...

It was a child. The Child. Well said. It is a good story.

A good recommendation, SacredStar. I enjoyed it. This is interesting! ;) Take the Five Books of Moses, which open the Bible and include the world-famous stories of the creation, the Garden of Eden and Noah's flood. Known in Hebrew, the language they were written in, as the Torah, these...

That is a brilliant statement, Mirror In The Fog. It is certainly one I concur with whole-heartedly - and with reason.:)

Is Scientific Materialism enough to live happily? No. A combination of Rationality and the Affective is required. ============================== SacredStar says: Such a theosomatic medicine will be a real new paradigm which promises to transform the practice of medicine, the content of...

Hi SacredStar, What are we to understand by 'subtle energies'? And why should they have or have not a 'natural order'? Are you referring to anti-matter? Are you referring to Pulman's 'Dark Materials' in his trilogy? Are you referring to string theory? Or is it a metaphysical concept...

I've said what I wanted to say and I don't need to prove anything as I'm not trying to impose my ideas on others. That is your right, Mirror in the Fog, but I still have to be awkward and suggest that if you do not ask certain questions of your spiritual beliefs. you are being dishonest to...

"We are simply expressing beliefs, which don't have to have logical foundations, so it seems to me that you're just stating the obvious, which is that there is no evidence that they exist beyond ourselves (I agree with that last nine words.)" I am sorry if you cannot appreciate the connection...

MirrorIn The Fog, I do take some exception to your last post. Yet again, you demonstrate that you have misuderstood, I think. This is not a discussion and debate in personal terms... It is about the central thesis that rationality should prevail over irrationalism through reason...
