    Soul coeternal with god ?

    I also thought of samkhya, that's right, we could have thought of the thetan of the Scientologists who possesses divine attributes. on the other hand I do not know if for the scientologists Thetan is eternal ?

    Soul coeternal with god ?

    yes as I said it is the double idea of a soul that would be distinct and at the same time would coexist eternally near God which is a rare idea. the idea that the soul would be eternal as a God taking form is rather banal. but here the soul is considered as its own ontological category.

    Soul coeternal with god ?

    yes obviously the eternity of the spirit is not specific to a single religion. what is unique to l.D dik**** (and madvha acharya and also Meykandar and a few others) is to claim that the spirit is eternal as an entity distinct from Gods (but not necessarily separate for meykandar). the jaïn...

    The Subjective and the Objective

    I don't know what the objective world is apart from me, I know that there is a content of my consciousness that I share with others. for example, I know that others perceive constants that also exist for them; for example the laws of gravitation exist for everyone and it is quite undeniable when...

    Soul coeternal with god ?

    but what is particular to the systems of L.D. Dik**** it is that he considers that the soul is distinct from God but at the same time eternal in itself (without beginning or end) there are systems which consider the individual soul as eternal but not in an independent way. apparently it is...

    Soul coeternal with god ?

    there is the idea of Deification in Catholic Christianity (Orthodox especially less Roman Catholicism) but the soul is not eternal in itself, it becomes like God (but not god) by the grace of god. It's a bit like the snowflake which becomes luminous by receiving the light of the sun but which...

    Soul coeternal with god ?

    but I knew the site for having read it is quite reliable, of all way it is not the question it is a question of sharing different theological and philosophical view neither more nor less

    Soul coeternal with god ?

    there are several authors who have maintained that the soul is co-eternal with god. I came across one of them by Google today. The Souls - Their Relation to Brahman

    Optimistic eternal reincarnation?

    yes that's right I seem to remember that this is also the case for arya samaj, what changes is the idea of liberation as a definitive means of escaping reincarnation whereas in these two religions the soul will have to sooner or later reincarnate.

    What Type of Theologies Do You Believe In?

    finally I believe in the eternal coexistence of a myriad of beings of which my superficial ego is only a modulation. he is a subjectivist personalist, here subjectivist does not mean that everything is relative but that the fundamental reality is made of subject "different I am" it's quite close...

    Optimistic eternal reincarnation?

    the purpose of this post is not to debate on such conception and their validity (even if it is very interesting) but to talk about the rather rare religions which have an optimistic vision of reincarnation which continues itself without needing to break the cycle .

    Optimistic eternal reincarnation?

    nothing at all, that's the question of the post. what differentiates optimistic religions towards reincarnation and pessimistic religions. optimistic religions (from this point of view) think that the goal is not to escape the cycle of incarnations but on the contrary to incarnate. for example...

    My true belief

    in my opinion we are all one in an allegorical sense in the sense that we are all interconnected but not in a numerical and literal sense. there are really different things, that's why I adhere to metaphysical pluralism.

    Optimistic eternal reincarnation?

    this is what seems "problematic" to me (the word may be a bit strong) essentially with kevala advaita, you create a distinction between duality and unity which itself is ultimately artificial, it is very intellectual contrary to what you say . it is not necessarily less good or bad but it is...

    Optimistic eternal reincarnation?

    the question was mainly focused on religions that have a permanent and positive vision of reincarnation. the tenrikyo sect has an ideal of a series of life on earth of 115 in a utopian world which would have become paradise on earth. brahma kumaris and theosophy do not seem to adhere to the...
