    Salvation and Belief

    The idea that divine manifestation is the source for aggression seems silly to me. And that if it is a source of aggression it can't be true (because the divine wouldn't do anything that leads to confusion) I find equally silly. Humans are quite capable of conflict over all manner of things...

    Salvation and Belief

    Yeah, but I'm talking about sharing our thoughts so that others understand us. That that is easy I can not agree with you on. No I disagree here. The one-directional communication of book writing is only partially similar to the two-way communication of speech. And post like these fall...

    Salvation and Belief

    Communication is not something that can be done passively. Where there is greater distance between understanding, there needs to be a quicker feedback loop from both/all sides. Gathering our experiences into the written word is hard work!

    The Highest Truth

    I'm sure! It's our only way to communicate with each other, and if we don't to that, we loose our communal consciousness. We would be alone, reinventing the Zen, over and over again. But it's tricky! Full of traps that way is!

    Salvation and Belief

    @muhammad_isa It appears to me that you think you are in a debate with a Christian over which religion is correct and the other is wrong. This not the case.

    Glimpses are fleeting! I very much agree with this. A bit like reading the headline of a recipe and not reading the ingredients.

    There are always glimpses, I wouldn't say it is enough, but it is what we got.

    Ohohoh! Maybe our perception of time and space creates the illusion of order, BUT IT'S ALL IN OUR MINDS!

    "Salvation" and "Enlightenment"

    I don't have an opinion on that.

    "Salvation" and "Enlightenment"

    "True Religion" may very well be the wrong term here, it is they way I read your posts. These three posts points to your value of "the truth". Always a problematic concept in my eyes which is often spoken of in the most diffuse way. You also separate Muslims and Christians from Sikhism and...

    Categorically, always? No historical examples worthy of exception?

    Revelation

    Woah, what a compliment! Thanks! No I don't fear "stupid people", I love smart people too much! As if you wouldn't be smart... Don't be stupid.... Oh I don't mind dancing with the divine, I just don't se it.

    Revelation

    How interesting! Coming from similar experiences, I ended up quite the opposite! Also very interesting, your experience of revelation in text is very similar to when I 'grok' the text I'm reading. It is in no way divine, but the pure intellectual satisfaction of your own understanding...

    "Salvation" and "Enlightenment"

    So you just don't want people to be offended that you don't think Hinduism is a true religion? Are you really that well read on Hinduism to make these statements? Your analysis so far seems very shallow.

    "Salvation" and "Enlightenment"

    Or they don't assume everyone else is doing it wrong? I find your comment condescending, perhaps we should avoid such blanket statements about a world religion.
