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 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?
