at this site they say that sex, wine, pleasure nothing is a hurdle provided you are awakened to your self. the real hurdle is your sleep towards you. the problem is your divided self. you need an awakening and not a prohibition of sex, liquor or enjoyment. what do you say?

this site discusses that the knowledge, the essence, the sciences, the absolute will have to have a non verbal component. this non verbal component makes the objectivity about the essence, the knowledge, the god, the world, the sciences etc. impossible. so all the knowledge is bound to be subjective ultimately.

is this unknowability the destiny of all knowledge? what do you say?

I know this sounds unintuitive, but do you guys think smiling is a sign of weakness? I mean we do smile when we're nervous. What do you guys think?

Do you agree with this ? Think first, remember even saintly, noble people, e.g. Mother Teresa types, receive great 'pleasure' helping others, and avoid the 'pain' which they would feel if they ignored unfortunates ..... comments please.

Sexuality, if it is left to itself, as it is in the case of other species, other forms of life, is merely a biological need, because the living organism has this object to survive and produce one like itself. Anything you superimpose on that is totally unrelated to the living organism. But we have turned that, what we call sexual activity, which is biological in its nature, into a pleasure movement. I am not saying anything against the pleasure movement. It has become possible for us to have sex at any time we want through the help of thought.

And Love There must be two, you know. I love somebody and somebody else loves me. Wherever there is division, there can't be love. We are trying to bridge this gap, which is horrible for us, which has no meaning, which is demanding something from us, with this fancy idea that there must be love between these two individuals.
When once love fails to establish the perfectly ideal relationship between two individuals, what we are left with is hate

or time of your arrival in a place can set in a motion a chain of events which as one leads to another, build up such momentum that they become a guiding force in your life?

your opinions are welcome. =)

Because it is crystal clear to me that you have invented this idea of selflessness to protect yourself from the actual -- your selfishness. In any case, whether you believe in selflessness or not, you remain at all times selfish. Your so-called selflessness exists only in the future, tomorrow. And when tomorrow comes, it is put off until the next day, or perhaps next life.
Look at it this way; it is like the horizon. Actually, there is no horizon. The more you move towards the horizon, the more it moves away. It is only the limitations of the eyes that creates the horizon. But there is no such thing as the horizon. Likewise, there is no such thing as selflessness at all. Man has tortured himself for generations with this idea of selflessness, and it has only afforded a living for those who sell the idea of selflessness for a living, like the priests and moralists.
I am not condemning anyone else, just pointing out the absurdity of what we are doing.

I've never liked or understood this concept since I was a kid. I'm still scared by it. Can someone explain to me how time can go on forever? I don't mean life on earth, I mean life after death. How can you spend millions and millions and millions...of years in one place? How does the universe go on forever? It must end somewhere right? Well then...where would your mind go. How can your thoughts just 'shut off?' Can you just stop thinking immediately?

Okay, I don't think I explained myself all that well, but if anyone could explain and express thier opinions the best they can, I'll appreciate it!!

"I wanted only to try to live in accord with the promptings which came from my true self. Why was that so very difficult"
"All I really wanted was to try and live the life that was spontaneously welling up within me. Why was that so very difficult"
right now im thinking that the first has more to do with following ur destiny, while the second leans more towards spontaneous free will.

Any thoughts?

I wanted to be a police officer or a doctor.

I was a cop for 6 years, but burned out.

I'm a 4th year pre-medical student now, and a carpenter to pay the bills.

Making a diffrence in the world is very important. It doesn't matter if it's something big or something small that you do because every bit counts. We need to care enough to help everyone. don't you agree? I mean the world is full of ungrateful people who take life for granted. It is also full of people who help the less fortunate, appreciate what they have and do not wish for bigger and better things, who live life to the fullest. How can i help make a diffence? big or small anything. I need more ideas. what do you think? how can we help?

Don't be anti-war, be pro-peace!

Thanks
