    Balancing confidence with ego

    Hi DreadFish This is a good question and it can be addressed in many different ways and angles. The fact that you know it is something to do on your own is key. Confidence is not quantitive. In other words there isn't more or less confidence. We cannot walk into a shop and buy a 'pint of...

    Americans are not stupid

    Funny but shocking, I used to think this is just what people thought Americans were like.

    Lemme Get This Straight

    Hi TSoA I am pretty new to Buddhism, but my understanding is that greed is not helpful in the pursuit of enlightenment and goes against the five precepts which are summarised here as follows: 1. I undertake the training rule to abstain from taking life 2. I undertake the training rule to...

    Meher Baba: The Silent sage

    I hand't seen this thread before, but it is interesting to have had an introduction to him. The description provided by Devorncauser is useful. :) Perhaps someone can elaborate on what makes his teaching unique?

    Yoga Vasishtha

    Interesting read, thanks for sharing, Skull. So forget God and dualism and "understand and become the reality, Brahman" :)

    Does anything happen that is not Gods will?

    The issue then is the sense of individuality which comes with the sense of choice and consequence (gain and loss). Because if we removed individuality and emotional response from the picture we would really just be doing what God wills i.e. determined, but not care.

    Ask An Irreligious Person

    Is atheism the teenage revolt years?

    Do you think god is a measurable object that doesn't exist?

    What is ment by Realizeation ?

    And this is an interesting addition. Put this makes it makes much sense to see "god consciousness" preceding "self-realisation", as you explain. What then, what is the next step (if any)?

    Is atheism the teenage revolt years?

    lol :D I see it like this athiest = arrogance (egocentricity) agnostic = ignorance (not sure) theist = deliverance (liberation)

    Is atheism the teenage revolt years?

    I can see your point. I would have asked on what ground the comparison was made when the teenager says "I'm not sure I'd even what him to be my Dad"? It appears he is comparing his self image (or ego) to the biography. Aren't there more biographies on the shelf? :)

    Is atheism the teenage revolt years?

    Hi Bob I didn't mean to imply your age categories were strict, however I have seen parents struggling to control infants e.g. 1 or 2 years old and have been told the infant certainly knows what they want. In other words they don't blindly accept and can even scream when what they want is denied...

    What is ment by Realizeation ?

    I agree. :) Why do you think God realised is an experience of God specifically and not something else? Not debating, just curious :)

    Brother Chinu What do you mean by "when someone feels that he/she was wrong that time"? Please explain further if you can?

    What is Christianity, and what makes a Christian a Christian?

    Does it mean that to be Christian someone does not have to believe in the immaculate conception and the resurrection?

    Is atheism the teenage revolt years?

    I would say the order is atheist (Child), agnostic (teen), theist (adult). I wouldn't be as strict about the age groups, but in respect to your categories this is how I would see it in respect to God (rather than parent as god which I think is why you say theist first?) :)
