Podo No I am not a linguist. I have gathered that Indo-European means that the language originates from outside India and is brought into India. Is that correct? If so I can tell you that the majority of Indians refute the Sanskrit language was brought into India. I live with Indians at...
I remember once hearing Pope John Paul the second had said hell was a mind state. Hell was a place here on earth when the human mind was depraved and in it's most addicted distracted or weak conditions. Then a person would be in the worst hell. Hell was the place of the weeping and gnashing...
Podo You may be knowing of the archeaological site on the eastern side of the Indus river that is in present day pakistan called homenjo daro. They are dating this at around 4,900 years old where as sites in Sumeria are only about 2,900 years old. Similar artifacts/buildings/artwork as in...
I believe the Buddha said nothing can be taken out from the Dharma. Not anything will/can be removed from the Dharma ultimately. I think one issue with the Dharma religions is that the literature, teachings, and just plain information base is so so vast. Something that's funny is that the...
I believe in realized actuality but I approach that thru faith in Radha-Krishna. I am a mystic and believe there are only mystic's nothing else or you could call everyone enigma's I suppose. The Bhagavad Gita text originally is in Sanskrit. That is the oldest language on the planet and where...
Uncertainty is Creation or Creativity at the heart and it is the emotions in taste. Think about it. If things were certain to last or certain to happen would anyone feel the deep love for those gratifying emotional moments or for the experiences that give us the big highs( "Creating"). I...
I think we might already all be dead and normal life is what being dead is like. It's sort of like the Buddhist concepts of an emptiness that's full or a fullness that's empty. When anyone dies they just get immeadiatly changed to their new living entity form. It's an instantanious karma...
Good topic. My opinion is that there is a Soul. My opinion is that there are four parts that make up a living entity. These would be the brain, mind, soul, and The Self. Brain is the lowest material level, Mind is electro-chemical energy level, Soul is subtle energy level, and The Self...
My idea on who would win this debate either Sri Sankara or Sri Madhvacharya follows. Ahh no. There would be no ultimate winner. Both these greatest of thinkers or realized individuals would both appear just as they have done and both their philosophies or conceptualizations would also appear...
Thief-rogue theologian. I believe you have some insight on the Big Bang. Many terms which science uses to explain that event are very confusing. For instance the term Singularity can be confusing. Expansion as a term can be confusing also. Singularity is a point of infinite density like in...
Can science explain the big bang or did god do it? Science unfortunately gave the name big bang to the beginning of the universe we inhabit. Here's the problem. When people hear that name they immeadiately think an explosion or at least a violent event. Thing is no explosion would cause...
An undying light of infinite possibility and capability can not be diminished or negatively impacted in any manner. Life is not a Test. Life is play, play only. That does mean though Transcendent realization which oddly does include experiences one could call painful. Transcendent is the...
The speed of light is not zero but everything else you said I agree with Spirit Quest. There is the non-dual clear light which is not the usual light that we find looking in the universe but rather the substrate to multiple universes and aloof from all, yet, it is there beginning. Everything...
the way I can answer this one is transcendent means existentialism. existentialism says humans only apprehend and touch the highest power in the manifestations of the modes we see around us or are embedded in. We touch essence in how we direct the modes or how we ride the modes of nature as...
My view on this topic, Do Gods or God control everyday ordinary events is... Time is a construct from the base survival organismic level of us human entities. So our "lot" so to say is to imagine time but it's really imaginary just like our numbers are just abstractions that describe...
