    Chakras and spiritual alchemy

    I like the idea of city chakras, energy centers , and crystal programming, and name poetry. Eg you go to Sea Bright, New Jersey, by the sea, on a sunny day. And program a crystal with glowing intentions. Then that crystal has Sea Bright sunny day energy - you pop it into a velvet bag to hold the...

    Was Jesus Psychotic?

    I think that the main case for psychosis would include being crucified voluntarily, a major impairment in social and personal functioning. In Islam Jesus wasn't crucified, afaik he was "taken up" unto God.

    Is any religion better than any other? Can any faith guarantee mental and spiritual uplift?

    Better than this, that etc... what is the measure of good? In the secular sense, defiend as overall well being, different religions will have for different people, in various ways, for x amount of time etc. Say a homosexual may become liberal Christian priest, and stay in a relationship. Ask a...

    Are atheists irrational?

    A definition of rationality: beliefs actions and even desires are rational when in accord with proper reasoning. As "atheism" is not really about this, in a direct manner, its hard to make sweeping judgements. There are no "atheist ethics" so to speak, and so ethical rationality is a bit of a...

    Karma & Works Are Literally the Same Word

    I heard that "dharma" can be derived from a root connoting "protection" (form these guys the NKT What is Dharma? | About Dharma ) - if so that's similar to "taqua" or piety/god consciousness in Islam, which also connotes protection. The pius are "mutaqun" or protected, guarded etc. Similar to...

    Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered? - Quran 76.1 Can it all reduce to "you are the universe"??? By no means. Yet. An aspect of 'nonduality' of life and environment - as in: when you are hungry then food "appears" to be attractive...

    Karma & Works Are Literally the Same Word

    I think they're similar, but karma is understood in relation to dharma, or cosmic law, whereas works are understood in relation to God who can forgive and test etc, and is personal rather than being automated.

    Pragmatism

    Thanks for all, on the "accusation" theme, I think pragmatism can be characterised as: if believing 'the moon is made from cheese' makes you happy, then it is made of cheese.

    Pragmatism

    I have been accused of pragmatism because I choose to follow a faith, in part because of its benign effects in life. I suppose the opposite would be scientific realism, limiting ones views to what can be proven about the 'real world', but not all philosophers are realists. "Look at the power...
