    Re: The Best Yet: "Theory of Everything."

    Look about the world Mel...what do you see?? Some pretty peaceful and loving indivduals who are no longer self-centered but have taken their concern to a wider dimesion that takes in others in the world. Also you see alot of selfish people who have fallen into the blame, victim/victimizer theme in life. Also you see those lost in such depths of self-indulgence they are suffering endlessly...

    You are beyond these conceptual ideas??? I would question that...

    Re: The Best Yet: "Theory of Everything."

    Something to consider is that the qualities possessed by things "out there" are also reflected by qualities possessed "in here", so one can ask themself why they perceive something out there to be as it is.

    I do not understand the concept of ''self centred'' dear Mikal.
    In that i would not know what it is to be ''self centred''

    So your post is completely meaningless to me..sorry.

    All i know is that * Love is who you are*

    Nothing else matters.

    How can *Love* be suffering? ...

    Therefore it is said, "In this world but not of it."
    One can be aware of concepts, beyond, without suffering from the delusions which arise from mis-identifying with/as them.

    Mel, like you Mikal, as a matter of fact All of us, is in this world but not "of it". Were the truth[word] to be honestly known.
    Some get it...[awakening/light] and some never will[darkness/ignorance].

    The "Self" is only possible through the experiential...so what are you telling me Mel, you have never integrated your consciousness and your just studying theories??

    We are life...God so loved his creations he gave life to love....Love suffers Mel....have you not noticed rampant world wide addiction?? Have you not noticed what people are doing to and against one another....What matters?? Were here to create a sane and intelligent world everyone can live in not a world marked by war and plagued with suffering....not a world where you put a meal on your table at the expense and jeopardy of your fellow man's health and well-being....

    If things seem meaningless Mel then realize that only the Self has cognitive understanding....

    Why do we not consider our mind/body organism as "one of the things 'out there' " so the "in here", the "I" that I truly am, can be free from suffering and attachment,
    without giving up encarnation to the cycle of birth and death?

    There is only one who is "attributless". That one is God(one of your own understanding), may you find Him now.

    "Oh Harbinger of Death,
    Wherefore now art thy victory,
    Wherefore no art thy sting?"
    1Corinthians 13-35-55.

    "We are what we think, all that we are arise's with our thoughts and with our thoughts, we create our world(s)."
    Damapada "Path of Darma"

    I had the awakening Drift....I lost my conditioned life and gained the individual design God gave as my life...I am physically in this world, I am not of its nature and I am firmly rooted here because if you arn't then why give a rats butt what happens to this beautiful Universe the Creator has entrusted to us???

    The environment remains uncreated until we, as witness, interact with it. QM. 101

    We evoke a potential that is already existent. Noted physicist ~John Archibald Wheeler

    "We are what we think, all that we are arises with our thoughts and with our thoughts we create our world(s)."

    ~The Damapada, Buddhist Canon

    IOW The universe, as we know it, is participitory.
    Both the seen/scene and the unseen (many, micro-macro worlds)

    Viewing (seeing, envisioning) is a participatory act, although a passive one.

    Be one with that... and the 'you drops away'. 'That' then, is all there IS. [Unity/Oneness]

    What's left is pure unmanifested [uncreated] potential. When there is only potentiality that is, anything is possible. Unconscionable? Lol

    Re: The Best Yet: "Theory of Everything."

    Have your own experience!! The truth is experiential. Meaning is found through connection with your intuitive self...
