    Divine Hiddenness

    I could not agree more, William. God is within us all. Here is some insight that I have read in recent months. From https://brandalyzer.blog/2020/09/25/the-core-of-hinduism-i-am-neither-the-body-nor-the-mind-the-ultimate-truth-or-a-self-hypnosis/ Following this thought, why do we not...

    The Evil of materialism

    The experience is real for me. Everyone that has the experience, from the ordinary person to the scientist, all say that the experience is real. It leads them all to question materialism. I can not prove it to you or for you.

    The Evil of materialism

    I appreiciate the standard you have set here. My experience on different forums skepticism is used to constrain discussion. Experience. Both mystics and even ordinary people have reported states of consciousness that transcends one's sense of self. Researchers have documented this...

    The Evil of materialism

    I began to lose trust in Western scientists when I realized that they know very little about the tool we use the most. I came to realize that if we are to understand the self and the world, then consciousness deserves the utmost attention. We find instead that scientists banned its study and...

    The Evil of materialism

    The danger of materialism is that it does not empower the subject. Under materialism you are a zombie with no free-will. Consciousness is nothing but an epiphenomenon. Western scientists that are tolerant of religion and Eastern thought will acknowledge the power of consciousness and mind over...

    Was Jesus a real person or a myth?

    I ask myself what works by seeing the results. How many atheists have changed their view because of a debate? None. How many have changed because of experience? Many. One big name is Dr. Even Alexander.

    What does God mean?

    In my philosophy, consciousness is fundamental. If you reduce all people and matter to their fundamental state, then what is left is consciousness. Therefore, God is pure consciousness. There are those who want proof that what I say is correct. I find it best to remind them that my...
