| Re: Eastern & Western Philosophy & Science
Good posting, RP.
I think another grotesque misrepresentation of the East, even by many modern-day easterners, is that the eternal one is the goal as to somehow assume an equal position and remain in that nirvanic state.
That the West is reaching the point where that concept of unification coincides with recent evidence studied by westerners, leads to another misrepresentation of the truth. Whereby on the one hand we have a spiritual-type unification, and the other a physical-type unification; one an eternal state of bliss, and the other an eternity of material luxuries in this universe.
No one wants to focus on the Eternal Return, to learn why things go wrong. |
