Without a brain you are dead?

[Drifter]

If you metaphorically read and understand 1 Corinthians 15:35 - 55 NIV
You will see a greatness that many "literalists" [in churches]do not see.

Hi, everyone.

"Yes, but..." (joking)

Thank you for the "butterfly effigy," Drifter.

I, personally, don't have a problem with religious concepts. Many, however, are prejudiced by negative experiences of corrupted individuals or institutions who have hidden under the guise of "religion," to entertain any enlightened, open-minded discourse when the topic of "religion" per se is brought into the subject.

This is a great pity. I guess it would be easier to say that many of those who have the knowledge of an Absolute Experience (Profpat, one of mine was a child and another on an operating table) seem to share a outlook that is at variance with the methods of those who undertake measurement in the pursuit of Knowledge.

It's not original, but the more we know, the more we realise we don't know. It seems reasonable and obvious then, that there could be a way of improving our methods.

This may be a contentious statement to some: The great philosophers are the basis of our institutions of learning. They viewed the world holistically and metaphysically, therefore asked the right questions in the light of what was "known."

It's not original, but the more we know, the more we realise we don't know. The "more" of what we know has become disseminated. Is it then reasonable and obvious that there could be a way of improving our methods?

A key to this may be to seek a common ground where we could once again ask the right questions in the light of what is known. I thought this might have been possible at TOE Quest (maybe the right platform just hasn't been established, yet...)

Yes Michael,
Self-Realization is the Key.
Matter is the vehicle for the manifestation of the Soul, on this plane of existence and the Soul, is the vehicle for the manifestation of the Spirit, on a higher plane of existence. These three are "a Trinity" synthesized by Life, which pervades them all.
The Soul/Spirit embrace is our ticket out of here, when the time arise.

I Like washing my vehicle, I do it on a regular basis.
Helps keep it Knew, and I appreciate it more.

"Flames" are cool.

Realisation is the key that unlocks the access to understanding that which just IS,you are right Pat,perfection cannot be added to or taken away from,it just IS,however we are IS,
so the task before us is simply acceptence at great-depth,full realisation of "us-ness"then
when this knowing is fully locked into our "beingness"we in effect and in fact are Translated into LIFE itself-which is as a dark-flame to our present understanding.



regards michael.

I have only got a very very small brain ... does that mean I am nearly dead .. or just more likely to experience nearly dead experiences ??? OOObbbs

I'm accustomed to facilitating co-operation in the creative process towards a satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcome.

Its certainly way way too small to translate this sort of techno-speak into anything simple and understandable

Some one said... on what gives the brain it's gas..

"It is illimitable because no one is before it to give it limits.

Undifferentiated because no one is before it to differentiate it.

Immeasurable because no one has measured it as though existing before.

Invisible because no one has seen it." .... JC

Did the brain get too big???

[Graybeard]

Thanks Drifter, I watched it. But ya gotta remember bud that small brains don't have strokes.

Ya need a large brain for that. And if ya gonna watch it happen an even larger one.
