People are not equal, evolution is like a school environment, there are lower grade students and higher grade, the school children of one grade need to learn the lessons of that grade to attain the prerequisite understanding to be able to cope in the next higher grade, Naturally the children...
Thinking reality is just that, that reality that is being thought of, but that reality doesn't cease to exist just because you cease thinking of it.
When one is in deep meditation with no thoughts, the energy of the universe (light waves, cosmic, waves, etc..) that is always present interacting...
It is not possible to convey fully to someone about a certain experience unless that someone has already had a similar experience. In your case, it is obvious that you have not yet experienced the deep meditative state of non-duality, so anything you say about it will be the chattering of the...
Only when the mind is in the non-thinking state can there be the present the pure awareness of reality itself, thinking creates a dualistic conceptualization of reality, and conceptualizations are not real except as a conceptualization. Science deals in dualistic conceptualization, religious...
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the concept of science? Science as a concept as I understand it means knowledge, and deals with the understanding of material reality. Science is to the material reality, what religion is to spiritual reality.
Could the atoms in a cell in a tissue in...
Science can tell what brainwaves occur during meditation, they are Theta (4 to 7Hz) and Alpha (7 to 12 Hz), but just as in the dream and daydream mind states with which these waves correlate, science cannot analyze the content of the mind. As an example, you can have a vivid dream, but you can't...
Because it is omnipresent, it is all that exists. It does no 'interfere' in worldly affairs because it is worldly affairs, It does not require worship but it happens because the ones who are doing the worshipping are yet to realize (become one with) that it is they who is being worshipped...
No one said anything about a religious hypothesis, there is only the universal reality present when the human mind is not thinking about reality, call it what you will, Brahman, Tao, Nirvana, etc..
That is the thing, you "think" such and such! Thought about reality is not the same thing as reality itself. In meditation when the mind is still and free from thought, then and only then is reality present absolutely, not a mental conceptualization representing reality.
Having said that...
Ok I understand now.
I note your dissent, but if you go down that track, so as to be consistent, should you then question science based on hypotheses being called "science", because only some "may turn out to be true"?
Observation, contemplation, meditation, all help to understand what one is in the context of all that exists.
It does not need to be just a collective, it is the individual who has the responsibility to learn the difference between the manifest and the unmanifest, and then one is able to...
I am not sure where you are coming from? You do understand that contemporary science is in its infancy, that its instruments can only detect less than 5% of the mass of the universe at this time. Science will have to evolve to learn more about 'all that exists', but it is not created to do...
I do not understand what you mean? Penguin said that he and science were not aware of everything, that there were things that he and science were not aware of, iow, there are things that cannot be explained by science. I pointed that some "things that cannot be explained by science" may fall...
Thank you for your explanation for this and your other responses to me URAVIP4ME, I now have a better understanding of the JW belief.
Judgement time is near, so I suspect we will soon find out/experience the reality represented by the prophecy.
I understand what you are saying and agree that there are some pretty ridiculous supernatural claims, but nevertheless the dictionary has it right to include the definition it does as there may be some supernatural ideas that will turn out to be true.
