Better? No, when it comes to trying to imagine the unimaginable, everyone's ideas are equal.

Yeah, lilithu put it better, explaining too much - i think if we try to explain the spirit world or the afterlife all we end up doing is constucting complex fantasy around a simple starting theory.

Anyway, I used to have a mega-sized compilation of Jung's articles. Shame that I lent it to someone who hadn't given it back, but I do remember that I felt he hit the mark quite a bit.




Pretty cool, Simon.




Peace,

Cool hehe

I rather suspected Buddhism has Jungian connections..
Still Buddhism is what I would define as a 'Gnostic' religion so I guess this isn't surprising!

Indeed, but using the scientific method and a little intuition and from the minds of others...I believe we can peer through the veil...insane as that may sound.

You may be able to peer through the veil (insane as that may sound I think I've caught a glimpse or two) but would you be able to articulate what you saw afterwards? Could you explain it in a way that doesn't distort it?

Yeah I know, we're talking Gnosticism here, not Taoism, but I think there is an essential truth in all mystical traditions. There is Truth, but more you try to pin it down the more you distort it.

I am a scientist. Or at least I was a biologist for several years. Science deals only with what one's senses can perceive (sometimes with the help of a lot of instumentation). Gnosticism, at least in the original sense, did not deal with sense perception.

A scientist like, for instance, Heisenberg?

The more you know about the position of a particle, the less you know about its momentum. Just like:

Now your just being clever...

And were working on it...sadly our models are too inaccurate to describe what is really happening.
What we call a particle or a wave are just manifestations of our limitations...lies to children.
