What the heck are you doing Charlton?

go back 2 to 4 thousand years and read of some of the pointers that Spiritual giants left us.

some of it is better than weird or cult like fiction that is repeated, Btw, many missed their ride on that comet and spaceship a while back and paid with their lives: "in 1997, 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult died by mass suicide in the belief their souls would board a supposed alien spacecraft they thought was traveling behind the Hale-Bopp comet. They referred to the process as shedding their "bodily containers" or "meat vehicles" to "graduate" to a higher existence".

that fiction about 1825 is not real by many many thousands of years+

@zerostao @old3bob So if you dont mind, I qoute you here over on mentioned thread. What do you make of this... tension perhaps? Always buyer beware.

holy cow, please get real...

well, if stopping with dharma ways then in that vacuum adharma gains... I'd also say its a mistake to somehow conflate Yin with willful evil, when its just the other half of of duality..."These two flow from the same source though differently named" as found in chapter one of the T.T.C. or "One gave birth to Two" as found in chapter 42.

Hello Bindi, that's an aspect also....but I'd still say that when evil is acting (per its hungry diabolical madness, greed and with fear underneath those) to consume but can no longer steal and use energies from others it then only has itself left to consume (known in modern terms as no one else to throw under the bus) and in that way implodes or can no longer continue. I'm no expert on this but from a Christian perspective I know Jesus does not kill evil with evil along with the fact that evil can not steal from Christ-light and thus can not remain around that truth and presence and has to turn away or is turned away... and it can only retreat so far and for so long before the light...

can zombies somehow evolve back to their former human selves, I hope so it might happen but rarely, if revealed Netflix

"Now, where do thoughts come from? That's the question that liberates." By Keith thoughts are mind things and when a light that is not a thing (so to speak) shines through them they appear yet take away the thoughts and the light is still there but then not seen like a thought that it seemed to be on the screen.

the manifest is connected to the unmanifest thus I'd say it can not be just an illusion per se. (or the "ten thousand" are connected to Tao thus are not just illusion per-se...so it follows that the only illusion is in the lack of full or correct perception .

"Nor did I claim that gods, goddesses, and demons do not exist", By Steve Agreed its just that they are not eternal, or to me do not exist beyond the present cosmic cycle. are those four lines also from the Beatles who said something close to it in a line from, "I am a walrus" although theirs sounds like or was a nutty 60's mashup.

"But you put those comments under a quoted post from me , which is why I responded the way I did. By the way , this reply IS meant for you". By Nungali, Ok you are right on that, my bad, I was still caught up in the earlier post. Have to think about the rest...

we can over think it but just spell live backwards... which would you rather go with?

or also by what it is not

who knows the exact measure of a cosmic cycle of time although there are some well reasoned estimates, (like the very long but still limited lifetime of Lord Brahma the creator) but they still have beginnings, endings and re-beginnings. The historic Buddha sounded like he alluded to this when he mentioned to Ananda that he could stay until the end of the cycle (in whatever form?) but Ananda missed that didn't he?

if anything goes and there is not general recognition of dharma and adharma then its open season on any truth, including the Spirit inherent in all Beings but I'd say that is not going to work by paraphrasing the Taoist Sage that basically said, that which is against the great Tao soon perishes...

some deep ideas to think about....

analyzing all that is quite hip, and shrinkable in some ways but we're not really each others shrinks. FYI I was commenting on the earlier posted Judith song thus not the one you posted. But thanks anyway. Scroll back a ways and listen to and watch the Bob Marely video that I posted if you care to, or not. It has no need to tap into dark power. Btw, the following saying is simple and pure, even transcendent in a way without overly lamenting or trying to be profound even if it is profound for a Christian and really for any religion if understood right, "There but for the grace of God go I".

real good/Spirit is always present but relative good and evil come and go

that sounds like wanna be hip bullshit... there is not much to get other than dark rage, blaming God, Jesus or Spirit and not seeing our karma thus the singers lyrics and the tone of music is in a way glorifying hellish inner states of conflict and gnawing doubt or a false view about Spirit, thus not magical or spiritual, get it?

or $2k

I did not listen to the whole thing and did not need to with its typical hell metal like vibe. (the piper will collect on those enthralled to variations of same) I partly fell for some lower astral crap like that back in the 60's the 70's when I was a kid.

Btw in case you are not sure it is common to download or copy a youtube video right to this site thus not needing to list it as a url. It sounds like the band is tapping into the hell realms for dark power....
