I'm not even sure that Christianity has anything to do with Christ. From what I can see it's become merely a social club for right-wing capitalists to dupe gullible constituents into granting them political power. But Christmas definitely no longer has links to Christ. One rarely sees Mary and...
I think I am even more confused, now. I thought that is what scientists did. How would one go about a general search for all evidence -- evidence of what?
Anyway, I was curious about the forums' opinions, and it sounds like that's yours. Thanks! 8)
Sorry, as I said, I listened to the audiobook, and my recall is not suited to literal summations. (Keep in mind that I didn't exactly "get" this science; I am NOT a scientist, even in layperson's level.) In my weak layperson's understanding, I will encapsulate what I got from listening, but if...
No viewers that have read? Or, read but without comment?
We finished the audiobook yesterday. The physics were a little hard to follow, not being steeped in the scientific body of knowledge. I could listen to it again, and again.
Basically, it describes how scientists NOW understand the...
Are you refering to Paramahansa Yogananda? I found his works a couple of years ago, and have been reading them out of sequence. Currently, I am studying his "Autobiography of a Yogi."
Truer words were never spoken -- for any topic! :yes:
No worries. At 23 I was eager to steam roll through...
Thanks, Madhuri, already you've taught me something.
I would say that I would like to read the works that the yogis studied to know the Supreme Self, Paramatman. It is not Indian mythology I seek to understand; I wish to gain Enlightenment.

I came to Hindu studies after exhausting western religions and finding them empty of meaning for me -- there are just too many "leaps of faith." I find a lot of universal wisdoms in all religions, but I keep coming back to the Upanishads for TRUTH.
Having read those teachings a few times now...
Kathryn,
Me, too, on all points -- except the comment about you not being able to teach me. I think you will, and I am glad. It's nice to know you are there.

Has anyone read this book by Mani Bhaumik? I am currently listening to its audio recording. (Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki, Blackstone Audio, Inc., Published: Tuesday, July 18, 2006)
If you have read it, I would like to learn your reactions to what you found. Please share.
Thanks, in advance.
Thanks for your welcome, Giant. I am sure I will learn much from you. Your years here in this life are insignificant in relation to how much you've paid attention. 8)
As for your definition: "... 'continence' when talking about excretion and it's ability to be contained within one's body,"...
I'm new to this forum, and hope to find answers I've searched for my whole life.
My brief overview
Born Catholic, adopted to and baptised Protestant (Methodist)
After initial Sunday school and services, my a-religious parents didn't think my spiritual practice was necessary, until at 8 yrs...
