Duality īn Nature, and Technology

There he goes quoting mere men again. Just like lao tzu. Hahaha

Every word you've heard or read was said by a man. I can quote women, too.

“Why are you in this world?” “In this world?” Sri Ma answered, “I am not anywhere. I am myself reposing within myself’. During the same conversation, the Irishman said, “I am a Christian:’ Sri Ma answered, “So am I, a Christian, a Muslim, anything you like”.

Yeah mate I know, I've read it.

It's nonsense.

But please, continue in your quest for enlightenment, so you can become God.

That's not the goal of enlightenment. We already are enlightened. The difference between us and the Divine is they know that and we don't.

"Even the Gods die." -- the Vedas What this means is, anything that has a personal sense of identity goes through the process of life / death. Once that is understood to be an illusion, you wake up in The Dream and know your true self to be the Dreamer. You become One with Awareness, itself.

To be a living being ("I am“) is not the ultimate state; there is something beyond, much more wonderful, which is neither being nor not-being, neither living nor not living. It is a state of awareness, beyond the limitations of space and time. The same source of the will (desire) to live, a source deeper even than life itself. The 'I' is there even without the 'am'. -- Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Yeah plural gods of which your pagan drivel is full of.

The omnipresent Lord Of Lords, King of King's will never perish, because he always was, is and forever to be.

Old man, you don't know shit.

Young man, you have much to learn.

Respect and wisdom.

The body and its various senses of perception are actually paired to each other.

For example, the sense of touch can easily act as the sense of sight in the dark or for the blind...

What's the point you're trying to make?

Every thing is pretty much a mirror for every other thing, and even more so for the human being himself/herself.

The mind is a powerful tool and any human being can achieve many forms of greatness if s/he is stopped from being dumbed down by evil.

For example, the calculator has been invented to facilitate counting although the human mind can easily achieve the same without it.

At atomic level, pretty much every solid state of matter is similar to each other.

By training the mind and body, one can actually rely more on God and have a much more satisfying life than by relying on things which can prove to be finally quite pointless and a waste of time and/or other resources. The memory can be trained to bother with only what is essential to the human being (which is the coming life after death) instead of bothering with what is God-given and you only need to be thankful to Him for the good usage thereof and you are sure He is going to Bless you again with it in the future.

In simpler terms, find time to remember God more (more Blessings your way) and know that every material thing and possession can be replaced in one way or another. You then learn not to hold on to this life and its attachments and look forward only to a good destination after you die.

Need I mention that God-consciousness takes on many levels that the human mind can truly look forward to although that's not something everybody can fathom or comprehend.

I've noticed that myself. Man's creations tend to mirror God's creations. We invent computer game worlds and characters that the player can live vicariously through as we are mortal characters our soul lives through. We created robots that act more and more like living creatures. And communication devices that bring us all closer but at the expense of our telepathic abilities. We're children of God pretending we're adults in Earth's sandbox.

Well observed!

Although we are His beloveds should we hold on to good and be of those who constantly ward off evil,



I refrain from the term "child of God" just to obey Him concerning what He Asked us to mention to others.

I mean, if one's not gonna speak about Him and His Words, I don't really see any other topic worthy of mention other than His Blessings, so that He May Increase them for one and all.

Even if one is not of a Muslim household, if one invites to God and is of those convinced that there is indeed a Creator Responsible for all the beauty around us despite everything else, then one will truly find God to be much better than the best of all friends/companions.

[Alanantic]

People through finding something beautiful
Think something else unbeautiful,
Through finding one man fit
Judge another unfit.
Life and death, though stemming from each other, seem to conflict as stages of change,
Difficult and easy as phases of achievement,
Long and short as measures of contrast,
High and low as degrees of relation;
But, since the varying of tones gives music to a voice
And what is the was of what shall be,
The sanest man
Sets up no deed,
Lays down no law,
Takes everything that happens as it comes,
As something to animate, not to appropriate,
To earn, not to own,
To accept naturally without self-importance:
If you never assume importance
You never lose it.
-- Lao Tzu
