    Hello thread :)

    Hi I am aware that Quakers meet in silence, but do they also have other social or community events where they share ideas and talk about things as well? If so I wonder what is it like, because there must be some diverse ideas and opinions? I guess there is a sense of acceptance between the...

    Spiritual gays

    They might use the NRSV or KJV bible because it holds the bible is "influenced by God" and not the "word of God", allowing for flexibility.

    Yes you are correct, the energy you refer to here, I would call Spanda.

    Your philosophy. Keep It Simple Stupid

    I agree with Sum of Awe's first post. Subjectivity isn't a real thing; it is subject to change and hence created. Both quoted responses superimpose a new subjectivity (so they are momentarily right as long as someone cannot overcome subjectivity), however subjectivity can be overcome in the...

    so I have a question/theory?

    Hi Lemaster I think you are asking good helpful questions, if I may say so. :) One thing that all schools of Hinduism share is that of non-dualism (or pan(en)theism). So it is difficult/impossible to separate something from God, everything is God, however there is the measurable and the...

    Man arrested for burning a poppy.

    What does the UK's next prime minster, Jeremy Clarkson, think about it? ;)

    so I have a question/theory?

    Hello There are different theories, schools and text, so the answer regarding Maya and the cycles of creation, maintenance and dissolution depend on the school/scripture. Prakrti undergoes change and Maya is of Prakrti.

    Christians, why do you hate Gays?

    Thanks Sojourner, that makes sense. It means there is no reason to have any views on some parts of the writing, we can pretty much define our own Christianity as long as we follow Christ? :)

    Christians, why do you hate Gays?

    Really! Thanks for the input, I don't know how I would be able to read the original to benefit from understanding the translations, unless someone has done a translation and commentary in English?

    What is salvation, libration, or moksha ?

    Hi I have seen moksha described as "liberation from the bondage of limited experience". I quite like this description as it is very non-dual.

    How do you Depict The Buddha?

    Hi Crossfire I agree with your view :) Do you recognise the suttra I am referring to by any chance? Not to worry if not, I am trying to find it again but not having much luck.

    How do you Depict The Buddha?

    Hi Awe From what I have read in the Pali Canon I think he was harder towards himself and others than I initially thought. I think he had profound grasp of the subject and was accurate when answering people's questions. He was assertive and a leader. I assume he would throw out monks who didn't...

    Christians, why do you hate Gays?

    I see! I have been reading CEV (and stopped). I will considering reading the NRSV if I start again (I am in favour of choosing what I believe from the bible or what I reject :) ). I am curious as to why it is the most accurate? I also would like to know how to discriminate which scripture...
