Why should I?

Because you claimed it to be so. Put up or shut up.

It is not my claim but the Word of God.

Please provide proof that it is the Word of God and not the word or
someone who claims that it is the Word of God.

Roger - it is impossible to try to be logical with people who are imbued
with religious belief.


Quite correct. But his response should make it clear that he has a
double standard for proof. He seems to want others to provide proof of
their assertions but does not do likewise.

Religion is simply a matter of faith although some think that their
belief is objectively true. The only problem is that they cannot
provide the objective proof of their assertions.

Roger

Exactly. If Neil Armstrong on his moon landing managed somehow to seed life
on the moon - then in coming milleniums to the moon people he would be
"god". So even if it could be proved that there is a 'god' as such it goes
against my grain that he has to be worshipped.

It is not my claim but the Word of God. If He choses to prove it to

He will.

He is not a He ; it is consciousness without an object or subject.

Greater minds than ours have grappled with this vexing concept since
man's earliest comprehension of his own mortality.

The simple answer is that it is all way beyond our futile aspirations
to make some meaning to what is meaningless.




I think you mean it is pointless to try to conceive of the inconceivable
("meaningless" would be the wrong word, right?)


It is probably semantics David, as either way would indicate that we
are all in deep ****! ;o)


not wishing to be a troll, but I was hoping that Hoffy might help us shed
some light on all this


The last post I had from "Hoffy" was quite conciliatory, so true to my
word I shall not be offensive unless further provoked! ;o)

The excitement in the land of Oz must be gathering pace, as the great
competition is about to explode upon us. I do hope it lives up to
expectations; the anticipation is palpable in my own club.

What a feast to look forward to; and England are turning their best
side out against lowly Georgia - that could be asking for trouble! I
do hope not! nervous grin

Well, according to the reference which Chung cites, God IS The
Word. And The Word has been around since the beginning.

But that invites the question, "What is The Word?"



Buh buh buh bird is the word.

Dig up their respective graves. One has bones, the latter nothing.

Lift well, Eat less, Walk fast, Live long.


Dig up Louis XIV's grave while you're at it. Bet his bones have
rotted. Does that make him an immortal space fairy too?

In your attempt to be humorous or witty or whatever, you missed the
point. I hope you find your way soon.

children, there are no answers so don't ask the questions.


No it is not; even Christ (as have all the great/enlightened ones across
culture and the ages) said "I am in you" and "Ye also are Gods".

It is a state of consciousness that has been reached by these people; one
that has been called: God Consciousness, Christ Consciosness, enlightenment,
Nirvana/Paranirvana, Consciousness Without and Object/Subject etc. etc.

It is emminently reachable although most always ineffable to normal waking
consciousness.



Make the most of what there is and what we think we know. Beyond that
anything is possible, but sadly not very likely!


That may be true as ther are many who are more concerned with getting
something to eat, avoiding a bullet or other wordly activirties - all of
which interfere with the descipline necessary to even attempt to reach such
a SOC.



As John Williams can confirm, I have dwelt on this problem probably
more than most; it doesn't help one little bit.


Then think not; meditate (no thought).

Yet identity with such a state of consciousness is possible - as evidenced
by a host (hundreds of well-known, thousands of lesser-known) individuals
"reaching" such a SOC.

And each has their own take on the manifest mental (conceptual)
repercussions; but all agree the "experience is ineffable to NWC (yet some
conceptual overtones - conotations from that state - sneak or leak into
conceptual space), and that it transfers a supernal value to NWC (witness
the lives of those so enlightened.

It is doable.






know. Beyond that
