Do you think that the search for more information moves us closer to ourselves (such as extended knowledge of biology or psychology providing a better understanding of the human, and physics providing a better understanding of our context),
or do we get too involved in the seeking itself and lose focus, moving further and further away from ourselves along the path?

What do you think will happen after death? is there life after death? does the soul dies with the body? or the soul will have the judgment day to receive immortality (eternal life)


Can you believe in God without believing in immortality?

The paradox of the Filipino finds a beautiful parable in the ways of the bamboo. A pliant, graceful and weak looking tree, the bamboo, in its seeming weakness and pliancy, shows its very strength against all the typhoons that threaten to batter and uproot it. In bending to and giving way to the winds, it asserts its stand and resistance, in submitting and surrendering to the typhoons, it survives and overcomes.

His face is turned toward the past... But a storm is blowing from paradise... This storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.
