  1. but "Seeing Brahman in everything" and connected to maya is not unreal per-se either, what is unreal is limited or mis-identification.
  2. yet I'd say the Isa upanishad warns against transcendental dichotomies...so again coming back to the title of the talk of, "Seeing God (or Brahman) in everything" - how could one also hold to seeing a so called "unreal" even if defined as changing...
  3. does anyone hear that differently than the point made in the last post about said contradiction?
  4. so going by the opening crux of the talk there really is no leading away from an "unreal" to the "real", thus what is needed is a leading away from an incorrect perception of (only) the real or Brahman in everything - which does not include an unreal, thus part of the ancient opening prayer states or espouses to me a direct contradiction to what then follows in the talk.
  5. without simple and sincere honesty and a certain humbleness it doesn't matter how hard working or how smart a student is if they don't have or develop those virtues
  6. it is recorded that Lord Brahma (as the aspect of creator ) is not immortal per-se although his lifetime is the length of a extremely long cosmic cycle...anyway even that is not enough. Btw. in Taoism The One is "born" so even the One is not immortal per-se.

    that which knows it is not the the complex computer like tool and resulting RAM programs that mind is, (with lots of programs running in the background besides what is on the desktop - with some of those people and programs having code based on dharma and some based on anti-dharma along with mixtures of both...whereas all of the True Master's working code in this world is based what could be called the ROM of Self.

    a chute is a nice option if the jet has slowed down enough to exit out of a normally shut emergency door - say at 15k feet, btw if four or five people have you in a death hug on your way out the door will the chute slow all of you down enough to safely hit the ground?

  9. Can anyone teach me Psychic techniques?

    to paraphrase: seek God first and all things (needed) will be added unto you. Inviolate Spiritual Truth is the foundation of true and rooted power that works for and with the goodness of the lifeforce in all beings, ....as also spoken of per, "Tao follows it own ways" from chapter 25 of the T.T.C.

    Rideforever, It sounds like you want to or need to be some kind of alternate know it all, but I'm afraid you are barking up the wrong tree in this sub-forum,... whereas you can probably find some young, impressionable wanna-be masters of the universe types in other forums or sites who are more likely to go along with your half-hidden and half baked repackaging of Mr. G ramblings and slants.

    well the sound of one dog barking turns more or less instantly into two dogs and then three dogs barking, and from there to ten thousand dogs carrying on...but if those ten thousand dogs are wafting their tails after farting then it would be wise to return to non-form and its non-smell. (asap)

  14. Question about Falun Dafa / Falun Gong

    3bob replied to EFS White's topic in General Discussion

    I know next to nothing about them, but I didn't care for the sectarian push in their public dance concert presentation which I went to thinking it would be based purely on Chinese history of a non-sectarian kind... (other than some references to ancient schools of religious Taoism and old mythology) which to me it seemed they were co-opting to give credence to their school.?
  15. Advaita Vedanta is only one out of hundreds of other religions that also make sense to millioins and billions of folks which is or could be called a great and tolerant outlook of "Hinduism".
