But we see how that changed anything.Yes I certainly agree.
Many religious peoples have these ideas of a personification of truth, which is silly, as truth is subjective; it is easier to establish all the fallacies in a subject first, before trying to establish the truth built upon lies.I think this so called person would be truth, personalized into a so called person, which is wrong, truth is truth, it needs no personification.
If someone asked me if I'm christian, i feels its an insult...As been debating its errors for the last 12 years.
'noun: eschatology
the part of theology concerned with death, judgement, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind.'
Used to not like the word debate, and thought always better to relate; yet we learn the most from the hardest route.
So either way what i asked about me in the OP, can fit with Hindu text; just not your beliefs.
Dharma is the essence of all righteous logic in reality; you could sort of say it is like the Dao....
Was explaining what sat-chit-ananda is from experience of being in Heaven, and how some of the ways you're using it don't make sense.
If you keep only applying your own contexts to words, then you're missing my point and arguing without understanding, which is where i keep trying to help you understand.
Talk about completely miss the point; imagine being at the beginning of reality, first through Oneness heaven was made, then from that core Dharma was established, from there all beliefs about Dharma have been made....
Buddhist use the term Dharma to mean their belief system... 'You really should read up on all the different aspects of all the words used.'
You do realize that is a very unique view, as most people use the term bad karma.
Brahman is the CPU; we're in the Matrix/Maya.
The idea that some people think they're God, in a place near Hell is amusing.
Avatars are messengers sent by Brahman within the Matrix.
We're in matter; Brahman is in pure consciousness...
We by being pure Dharmic consciousness, can be one in consciousness; yet we can not physically come close to Brahman until we leave matter.
Some people believe they end the cycle of rebirth, and will become pure consciousness again with Brahman.
I've got that point, yet since I'm speaking from being sent, an NDE, being asked to do what is in the OP, and first hand experience; the reason the Abrahamic beliefs even got brought up, is because of lack of understanding that all is One to begin with.
I guess I'll have to read a TV Guide to see what that says.Many religious peoples have these ideas of a personification of truth, which is silly, as truth is subjective; it is easier to establish all the fallacies in a subject first, before trying to establish the truth built upon lies.
Within each of the religious texts globally tho, the person comes to point out where people are following adharma.
Though clearly people won't like that, as we're all full of ego, and so don't like being told; therefore we will again see that the person is arrogant, from thinking they know the truth.
The mods first moved it to comparative religions, and then religious debate as the conversation progressed. Well done mods!Why havn't the mods moved it to the debates section or something?
They're all saying the same more or less, and therefore trying to qualify certain criteria set by them overall.Hinduism's concepts of death, judgement and "final destiny" are much different than Abrahamic ones.
Sorry can't reply to the rest... ...
- Zoroastrianism has a resurrection of the dead, a golden age, an enlightened teacher sent by God.
- Judaism has the same, yet guess you knew that from Christianity and Islam having the concepts.
- Taoism has a time of enlightenment, and a rejuvenation of the right ways with Li Hong.
- Kalki in Hinduism has the same matching qualities - kalki_the_next_avatar_of_God
- Buddhism also has these cycles, with a return of the Dharma, and Maitreya.
- + more....

Well as far as i know, i chose to come back, and was sent by God....
Thus on being in Heaven, you have to follow Dharma; Dharma stems from there, and without it, we just have chaos.
Dharma was one from the offset of creation, the religions came ages after, thus they miss the point by being divided.

Normally in a debate, we try and establish each persons understanding of a words context, so that we can understand each other....

I've got that point,
We follow dharma as it is the right Way to be, thus to even be in Heaven you have to live it.if this is so then where is the destination of following Dharmah in Heaven considering Dharmah will be a "Way", to somewhere?
One aspect of dharma is righteousness, thus all religions teach righteousness in someway...continuously equate the idea of Dharmah with religion.
I was on about me being in Heaven, me being sent from there, this whole topic was about me, and everyone turned it into fighting Christianity.therefore the Non-Hindu has a right to just equate it with a Christian/Abrahamic concept of being in heaven and then label the Hindu of not making sense?
In your opinion, whereas many Hindus would say the exact opposite....There are even Hindu schools called Oneness.the words such as Heaven/Oneness/Way are not Hindu concepts and do not describe Hindu ideas.
You've been doing that throughout the topic, and unfortunately, i don't fit into a only one culture can only use their language.For the Debate, I will (as I have already) establish certain non translatable
1) Atman
2) Dharmah
3) Brahman
Before creation there was chaos, therefore no dharma.Never ending therefore never having a beginning,
We're almost in hell, this is the top floor...Christians believe Hell is somewhere we go, not that we're already almost in it.you are in fact threatening the Advaitin/Dvaitin/Hindu with Hell for thinking they are God
They're totally different concepts, i used the term God, which is the common English word used for any deity.Your are equating Brahman with the Abrahmic concept of GOD
This is what happens when people die, from my own first hand experience, not some religious belief or superstition, so regardless of what you want to defend, I'm just explaining what occurs to people.does not occur in Hinduism
I don't speak from the Abrahmic God, there is only one, i'm speaking from most religious texts globally, and first hand experience.I beg to differ, this entire post, and previously you equate Brahman with the Abrahamic concept of GOD.

If there was no dharma, and people were all just evil, then we wouldn't need religions to tell us to be good.

Each word has its context within its original text background, and not some belief that people choose to illogically apply to it.....
By all means show fault in the logic used, and will accept the correction, if it is valid, else will say i don't agree and try to find a common understanding that makes sense.

Dharma stems from Heaven, and it is the way of Heaven.what happens to Dharmah when we reach heaven?
Because the right way only exists as Brahman does, the reality without Brahman wouldn't have Dharma, it would just be chaos.you are denying Hindus the Sanatana aspect of Dharmah, Why?
Maya is a realm of delusional people...It is a place between Heaven and Hell in multiple cultures globally; mortals don't get to be immortal, unless they're special.you say we (Advaitin/Dvaitin/Hindus) are almost there.
And i was saying i think the Abrahamic concept of God is nonsense in many aspects; I'm speaking from all religions globally, a NDE, fulfilling prophecy, being spoken to straight through the walls of reality, etc.I did not say that you speak from God, I said you equate Brahman with the Abrahamic concept of God.
Because the term God applies to anyone's concept of God, it isn't specifically Abrahamic; if i was using that deity, I'd use its names YHVH or EL maybe.... Yet God is a universal term.If they are totally different concepts, Why the would you use a word that is generic?
Because I'm speaking from first hand experience, in Heaven which is a place of pure consciousness (nothing to do with your Abrahamic concepts); this is just what happens from my experience.Then you say that people experiance Brahman in Heaven?
From my own NDE Heaven was called Oneness, the essence of this is the Dharma...I am not talking about the language but the presumptions about the meaning and interpretation of these words.
Rather than listen to what I'm saying, you're translating my words into Abrahamic concepts, and thus misapplying them repeatedly.What you are doing is Just replacing the words from English to Sanskrit, without realizing that they do not have the same meaning.
Trying to fit Hinduism by appropriating Sanskrit words into some new age Christian theology.
You're just not getting what i keep saying, dharma is the right way, the righteous way, the logical way, etc....What here you are assuming is that we need religions to be Dharmic
Since i think Christianity is evil, that shows how little you understand.You use Christian ideas of heaven and God
I've learned what people think from reading their religions; i personally have remembered Heaven since birth, had a NDE, so most of my knowledge comes from first hand experience....you have said that you learn about religions from their texts
They're terms from multiple different religions around the world, they're not specifically Christian...You in this sentence alone are showing your Christian ideas of "Coming from Heaven", Sent from Heaven"
Because i dislike Christianity, and due to having the knowledge been correcting everyone's mistakes in the thread....Why the victim-hood?
I just think it's cool that you and I got similar heads' up from the divine reality.They were asked to read all the religions, and make a place that from it peace would spread.
Then after there will be a mass destruction, and then renewal of the reality as we know it, where those deemed worthy will be resurrected into a time of enlightenment, and Godliness.
The bible as a whole is incredibly inconsistent.The Bible tells people to seek within, and question themselves, people like to blame external sources, and miss the point entirely.
Oneness doesn't have to mean everyone's the same, though. We can all be part of a greater whole while still being, well, "parts". I think the primary problem of promoting Oneness (which is similar to what I believe) is that in practice it tends to ignore differences. Those differences need not keep us from Oneness. We could not be human if we were only made up of one type of cell. No, not even all of our cells necessary for our survival are even OURS. We live also thanks to beneficial flora like bacteria and such. If we strive too hard to remove nonhuman flora from our bodies, we can get sick and/or die. We must accept that differences are needed to promote a greater good.And am aware that currently people don't realize that Oneness is the ultimate goal of Dharma, which is why this person has been sent to fix it for Satya Yuga.
No insult intended to wizanda, but he thinks he is sent from heaven as something like an avatar or whatever. I feel similarly about myself, though I am also fine with the idea that no one was "sent" so much as humanity is evolving. Every generation has its "cool people" destined for changing something for the better. After we die the next class will take over. We should never let our destinies over-inflate our sense of self.can you put out what exactly are you trying to say in this thread? what is your question specifically
I believe that if someone has the Truth, they don't need a marketing department.I think and hope anti-conversion laws are coming. It may take awhile. However, the smart ones work in very subtle and sneaky ways. We have to be on guard to expose them. 'Saviour' syndrome is not part of Hinduism either ... at least not mine.
But what they're saying is that since all is Brahma, it is impossible to SEND someone out, as all is Brahma ANYWAY. If I have a large bonfire and transfer one flame from one point to another in the bonfire, have I changed anything about the fire itself?Ultimately for anything to happen, it is Brahman's choice...Even if someone decided to come back.
We are not our religions, though. We are we. I come from Christianity. There's a whole lot of sinning in the bible that the bible actually encourages, but I don't do much of that stuff because I am ME, not a character in the book. Characters in a book must do what the author(s) demand(s).If someone's religion says it is right to eat babies, and murder the innocent, that leads to bad karma; so therefore the religion can dictate someones Karma.
But if there is no difference between the physical and metaphysical, there is nowhere for them to go. I can go from my kitchen to the bathroom and still be in the same house. Reality is the house and cannot be left (assuming your house has nothing outside of it).There is a physical and metaphysical plain of existence, to come here you've got to be made manifest.
IMHO also the most irrelevant theology. Life is flux. Life goes on. Life will outlive US. Life is more like an open game instead of a linear one with a "final stage". You, and others, want to find the princess but she will always be in another castle than the one you're in.the part of theology concerned with death, judgement, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind.'
Thank you for trying to clarify Hinduism, and admittingly I've lost track of what i originally asked, and started debating my own ideas into it.... So appreciate your diplomatic input.you are never going to understand Hinduism.
It's interesting that Christians do the same thing, and make jesus into God returning; whereas personally can't accept that ideology, yet do get where it comes from in both beliefs.Vishnu at least for Vaishnavas is the Supreme God, Brahman.
Thank you, it appears i might need to define what i mean by Oneness in a thread to show people, before we start a dialogue; as that is only a very limited application applied to it within this thread, which explains where we're not seeing eye to eye.Not all Hindus believe in oneness.
Two of my poems questioning it - Earth’s Dynamics & Doing TimeMeaning not clear to me
I can understand the Hindu view, and how they've arrived at their ideas from the text, and traditions...One who says that my view is correct and the views held by other people are wrong can never understand Hinduism.
True; yet as you're aware of Pauline ideology messing everything up, that was part of what i was referring to...The bible as a whole is incredibly inconsistent.
What were you told, and what details, as all clarification helps; which is why made this thread to seek more understanding.I just think it's cool that you and I got similar heads' up from the divine reality.
Agreed in your summary of Oneness, and you're right; yet not all differences are beneficial to the whole, and i fear that the world has been misguided purposefully, to distinguish who'd go the wrong way on purpose.We must accept that differences are needed to promote a greater good.
It is an interesting metaphor, and would be right in that context; yet find it slightly more complex...If I have a large bonfire and transfer one flame from one point to another in the bonfire, have I changed anything about the fire itself?
If the books tell us to accept something evil as good, and good as evil, then we're what the books produce....We are not our religions, though.
Now understandably not all schools of Hinduism accept a Heaven; yet clearly there are texts to substantiate the ideas that there are separate realms, it is just peoples perceptions that differ.But if there is no difference between the physical and metaphysical, there is nowhere for them to go.
I believe in a circle, we're just returning to the beginning again; where some of us have stayed within Brahman's orders, and some have been misled so far, that they can no longer be in the Matrix.Life is more like an open game instead of a linear one with a "final stage".
Though debating everyone over the Abrahamic format as I've spent years studying it, was studying Taoism first, then Krishna consciousness, so aware of the different ideologies.I said 'unless you abandon the prejudices' because the Eastern religions and philosophy are completely different from the Abrahamic format.
Indeed it is their right to go which ever way they wish; just I've been sent to inform everyone we're coming to a close of that, and only those who are going the right way will remain....Yes, we try to make others understand our views, but some may not understand and others may differ. It is their right.
Now you are sounding like an Abrahamic prophet warning of impending doom. That is alien to Hinduism. Personally, I find it very amusing. They all did it. Even Jesus does that... just I've been sent to inform everyone we're coming to a close of that, and only those who are going the right way will remain ..
On the one hand been asked to show how the religions interlink; yet not been asked to save anyone....Hindus have never needed a SAVIOUR, and we surely don't need one now.
I'm not proselyting; i was asking a question on all religious eschatology, and if it fitted within a Hindu understanding...Now that we know 'this person' in the title is Wizanda, I request you stop proseltysing here.
We're not in a Dir anymore, this is the debate section.Besides, its against the rules of the forum.
True, and apologize for it; yet clearly with mankind's current rate of desecration, we've got less than 20 years left before the world's biosphere goes into turmoil.Now you are sounding like an Abrahamic prophet warning of impending doom.
Kalki comes at a time of great troubles, where the world is in a state of adharma, etc.That is alien to Hinduism.
