Is that true? What is it call?

Most have heard of the Mayan calender end date 12/21/2012. Most do not believe this is the END of time, but rather a time of ascension or peeking of knowledge (consciousness). The time of ascending could begin +/- 30yrs of the planetary alignment.

The internet is the final home of knowledge. This means it is the portal through which we have unlimited access to endless knowledge. The internet has everything everybody in the world knows in it. You look up anything you know and someone already knew it.

Could it be that the internet is the platform for our ascension. 12/21/2012 or around could be the high or peek in abundant knowledge. Thus leading into a NEW era in human consciousness.

Throughout time men have made it their quest to further their knowledge of being. Could it be that the information highway and planetary alignment have something in common.

I’ve not been a Christian for many a year nor have I converted to another faith, but religion haunts me still. I am not normally bothered by people being religious, but it seems strange when they could or would consider me an immoral person as opposed to them. I must consider the moral implications of their faiths, mainly that of the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims whose religions are interrelated and ones that I know more about. What seems exceedingly strange to me is how these faiths consider that eternal damnation as a justified punishment for either not knowing God or knowing and not obeying. Does this god love his children as they profess? I would have to say that this god is not one of love, but of cruel vengeance. They follow for fear of damnation, but claim love for the father. I couldn’t burn my worst enemy for an eternity and say that is just, but this triad of faiths sees that as acceptable punishment. It makes me wonder if these believers truly know what love is if their loving father would do this to them if they are disobedient children. If our god can do this to us what are we capable of doing onto others?

I don’t go around and try to disprove God and there may well be one, but I doubt he, she or it, is anything like what Humans claim. At least I hope not. A believer cannot say the inverse that maybe there is not a god for that type of claim is against the teachings. They will not question God’s moral platform, but feel free to do so to any other faith. I’m caught in the middle of these religious disputes and it sickens me in the knowledge that each one believes the other is Hell bound and that it is just regardless of their devotedness to God. This is truly horrible. A man could spend his whole life praying to God and would do anything in the service to God, but would go to Hell because he didn’t do it correctly. I just can’t figure that out. A god of love ought to be understanding and if he not then he is uncompassionate and generally evil. I would want to believe in a god that is good and compassionate and would not burn people for an eternity and would not meddle in our lives, but would reward those in the Hereafter and leave the remainder to dissipate as if they never were.

I want to ask, that is it possible that we love only once in a life time. Is it true? If we do love more than once, then why?? What things we want???

Whats the reason that ancient and some modern martial artists meditate for long hours continuosly?

I've heard they used to meditate for 6 - 8 hours straight, daily.

If so, my questions are:

1. How did they find the patience and energy to do that?
2. What did they concentrate on ? (Nothing, or is it a certain thing).
3. How does it benefit them, and would it work for us?

....Please don't give me any religious lecture because it isn't about that......

And by the way , I'm Muslim.

When ever i think "does the Universe go on for ever" or "why are we here" or "what is time, how did it start, what was before it". It just confuses me, i just cannot belive that i goes on for ever unless it was created by god. what do you think?

"consider this, we have similar or even some same dna genes as the monkey class, and we even have similar build, and move around similarly! such similarities, such possibilities, we must have descended from the same ancestor!"

i think it falls under a variation of "undistributed middle"(monkeys have this gene, we have this gene, therefore we have a same ancestor), and "shifting the grounds" (from similarities to ancestor).

what other fallacies can you see in this argument?
