Re: Neti, Neti

It is a dualistic technique designed to break the spell of duality which grips the mind. In reality, though, the mind naturally engages in this activity when it attains a full intellectual understanding of God. The "neti, neti" exercise, as with any technique, is really only for those who...

Re: Neti, Neti

Does "Neti,neti" arise spontaneously in the mind? At least at first, it must not. It seems to me that in order for it to be effective, issuing the neti, neti when a thought begins to arise requires at the very least the thought itself, the neti-neti response, and the issuer of that respons...

Re: What is Love? Or did we do this before?

broken, I don't know about pheromones. I'm pretty sure love is produced by chemicals that can work at any distance. An example of these chemicals is phenylethylamine, which releases dopamine, which stimulates the production of oxytocin. These substances work like drugs. They give you a high and are...

How would you do it? Uninstall IE8 and reinstall IE7? There's no rollback feature with IE8. Rolling back is not the Microsoft way.

Re: What do you think God is?

My view is that one can understand God, but that this is a personal activity and not a completed act. If it were a competed act, then you could possibly define God. But as one's life on this pale is not yet completed, I think any understanding of God one has must be a dynamic thing. What I am sayin...

Re: Religion: Nothing More Than A Comfort

The 'other planes of existence' that you've experienced could very well be delusional. How can you tell that for sure they weren't? By using logic and reason, you decide for yourself. To deny this simple fact would be as poor as those Xian types who say that human reasoning isn't good enough to und...

Re: What do you think God is?

I recently had this kind of situation with my born-again Xian brother and his Xian wife, where all they can come up with as a counter argument is that I'm arrogant in attempting to use my own thinking mind to define God. As they see it, human reasoning isn't good enough to understand what God is. T...

Just a heads up for those of you who use IE exclusively. I just "upgraded" to IE8 and have found that the forum behaves erratically under this version. There are other kinks to IE8, but problems with GF are really irritating. Specifically, when you open up a reply window with the POSTREPLY...

Wait, “no” what? No it wouldn't’t be prudent not to associate pheromones (to be clear, biochemical stimulants triggering fixed responses) with falling in love and love? (How about with one and not the other?) I am not sure what you are failing to grasp. Many people believe that love and attraction,...

Again, I am talking about a logical reality that even a God has to submit to. It is impossible to love without attachment. This is so small minded as to be pure fallacy.

Denying God's loving nature and claiming such a nature would be a weakness is, I argue, the real hostile act to wards God. Well I would like to kindly request you argue it. Because to sustain a charge that someone is "denying God's loving nature" presupposes that God has a loving nature. ...
