Im doing a study on the various cultures,and Im looking to find out about this. When basically a man like say a buddhist is ready to become spiritual, does he shave his head? Is there anything like this in the other cultures?

We are all caught in a world of rushing. Now have you ever felt the rain on your skin and actually smiled and not skreaming: "s*h*t my selphone is getting wet! Have you ever felt the wind in your hair, and loving it! have you ever felt free and over happy. Have you ever walked in a forest or garden not thinking of tomorrow or what you still have to do but to just thinking for now! Walking around the house barefoot and singing with a cup dangiling in your hand in the mornig, just loveing it!!

Have you ever sat back and watched the world turn and you just smileing back at it and loving to be you, to be free.

Have you breathed!!!

Or how do we think we have a soul? Where could this idea even have come from?

life is not forever and that seeking and pursuing spiritual solace are perhaps the way The Good Lord ordained it. Death doen't come with a tag of date nor is it like a village, so that we would know , if we are traveling as to whe it would arrive. And all this wealth, the riches that we yearn, long and crave for and sometimes create - are we going to be able to carry all this with us in the other world(if there is one such). Yet, day in and day out we toil, we fret and we fume and incessantly(even with fatigues mind, body and soul)pursue this in a hypermaniac fashion. There seems to be no golden mean- it is either this or that. People break the others heart just to achieve this end?????????? How much do u think this is worth it?This ONE LIFE- with God or with greed ??????

Okay,

So Phenomena is physical, and opinable. Neumena is Universal, Mathematical, and holds true for all worlds.

I say that "there is never a false or a wrong or dark... there are only varying degrees of truth, right, and light."

My professor says that idea is Phenomena and not Numena, and it can not be proven through logic without it being opinable (able to form an opinion upon/phenomenal, and not a universal truth). Because in Logic, we are trying to "proove" an arguement, and the only way to do this is through the Numena. I thought that right, truth, and at the very least "light" would hold true for all worlds, and be universal.

Does anyone understand this, and can you explain it to me?

As regards the members of humanrace life is different for each one. Even the concept of time and space varies accordingly. If you ask an illiterate what the earth is like, he may reply according to his limited knowledge. If you ask the same question to a scientist he would give you an elaborate answers with precise details.
