Are you a vegetarian?

[psychoslice]

Could you ask the person what they want and then produce it? Could you produce fruits out of season upon request? Can you produce hot treats on the spot and then provide more when more people arrive? Can you cause holy ash to appear on pictures at a distance? Can you produce something based on a unexpected request?

I think you are underestimating the many and numerous types of miracles associated with this figure to just those you can fake. So many things do not allow for fakery that it becomes overwhelming. Read some personal stories.

This is one subject where I do claim a lot of knowledge. I've discussed this with you in the past and got the impression that your interest was the writings and videos of the usual skeptical critics of everything. Before I consider your opinion informed you would at least have to be aware of the research done by western researchers most notably Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson .

I don't read personal stories, because they are personal and can mean anything, I am more into knowing the truth of the matter, and I know it cannot be done, India is full of magicians, and one day I would love to go there and see them.

I can't put much stock in individual stories, but a body of stories analyzed for quantity, quality and consistency becomes meaningful to me.

Of course it will, because you are wanting to hear from these individuals, just what you want to hear, no. forget the silly tricks, and concentrate on the message.

I want to know what is most reasonable to believe about any subject regarding the paranormal; not what I want to hear. I am the open-minded skeptic type and evidence driven.

Well the so called paranormal, which is above normal is just a word with no real meaning, no one has ever proved this so called paranormal, so really what can I say ?.

A man performing many, many miracles and a message of love is meaningful to me. It shows the reality of things beyond atheistic-materialism which to me is important to know.

Yes I agree, it does sound as if you need that belief, and so be it, believe what you want, and don't get upset when others question your belief, that is why I don't have one.

What you eat is nothing other than me. Very well, then. I will try to eat uncooked vegetables.

I'm doing it for 6 years already And they taster better thank cooked. Except potatoes, of course.

I'm doing it for 6 years already And they taster better thank cooked. Except potatoes, of course.

Just an idea. Let potatoes remain in ground for more time, sort of ripen, then I wonder how they will taste. For example, jack fruit when ripened can be eaten/is eaten raw in villages here. Or perhaps we are letting them remain in ground for more time than necessary for raw eating. It could be a matter of timing. I will be replying to your other post soon, but it involves more thinking.

Non-vegetarian food, like human meat?

No. Humans are not good for eating for humans. That has proved to be harmful. Though eating humans does not seem to harm animals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)

I was joking, but while we are at it, meat, in general, is not good for eating.

Brahman is the eater, Brahman is the eaten.

This is true for many things. Brahman is the rapist and the one raped, similarly. It hardly gets us anywhere r.e. ethics.

We are physiologically very similar to pigs, so eating humans would be much the same as eating bacon I guess.

Kentucky Freud Human?

It becomes a problem only if you consider Brahman as a God. My Brahman is not God.

One may try to do so, but I would not like to try. It is like Mad Cow disease.

Yeah, smoked or freud.

So rape is not a problem?

 

[Milton Platt]

Are you a vegetarian/vegan? Why have you become one? Was it religion, health, compassion? Do you feel better than when you ate meat (if you ever did so)?

I am a vegetarian for 7 years already I can say that my immune system is better now and my mind is clear and it is easier to stay conscious and alert if needed.

Looking forward to reading your stories

Well, I believe humans are omnivores, and I do eat some meat. I am not actually anti-vegetarian....it can be a healthy way to live. I just don't think it is necessary. As to the specific benefits you mention in your post, they are very subjective and have to be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[Aupmanyav]

So rape is not a problem?

Sure rape is a problem, but you cannot blame atoms/energy for it. It is a human problem.

 

[Kirran]

So we are back to the statement that everything is Brahman being irrelevant to the ethics of an action in these cases.

 

[George-ananda]

and don't get upset when others question your belief, that is why I don't have one.

You certainly have a tenacious belief that the spiritual/paranormal things I present are bunk. Following the 'no beliefs' thing above one would think you would be agnostic on the issues, but that is not what we I am seeing. I am seeing a strong attachment to materialist beliefs.

To be honest, I kind of sense some anger issues with those who claim reasoned beliefs.

I actually see the anger mainly coming from those who hold onto beliefs, as I said I don't have them, and I certainly am not going to believe in any old thing told to me without proof. I have experience beyond the mind body organism, which is known as an Awakening experience, I have even written a book about it, yes I cannot prove it and I will never try, or argue over it, because I can't.
