It does make one question the value of love coming from something that does not exist. I wonder how that works?

i think it just means that people create incoherent fantasies and get in a muddle. If you spout nonsense for long enough you will end up contradicting yourself. If you issue BS for long enough, it builds up and eventually comes over the top of your wellington boots. Eeew!

So now you love everyone? Strange then how you get so spiteful when people challenge your pretentious waffling.

That's because I love you Ricky.... Hebrews 12:6 ..

So you think you're God now? Oh well.

But wait, you keep going on about maya, so shouldn't you be Brahman rather than the Abrahamic god?

Ricky...are you so humorless to not see that I'm playing... But please don't feel I'm insincere...the universal source in me loves you more than you love yourself..

You're right. It doesn't. The 'love' professed by the illusory ego is what is known as Apparent Love, expressed in several forms in the Five Egotistical States, as projected by the ego onto another.

Real love can come only from the authentic Self.

There is only one absolute God...aka.. Brahman, etc...

There is definitely some degree of power in love, but it is certainly not universal.

What do you think Mahayana Buddhism is about? Mahayana: 'Big Boat Buddhism'. Get all of mankind into the boat. Saving the entire world.

Put that idea to some actual Hindus and Christians, they will soon put you straight about the difference between Brahman and the Abrahamic God.

I'm tired of your endless stream of random new-age jargon and meaningless word salad. Can't you talk in plain English?

There isn't...but all conceptual exchanges require the non-dual mind... When in Rome, do as the Romans do...

Love actually is not easy to come when the perception of division is taken as real. Questions like "What is there for me?" and much worse questions dominate.

So there....

Experience of the reality as the unborn (and therefore immortal) non dual pure awareness is said to be the ultimate experience.

Ricky......I do not do conceptualization wrt religion...nothing but the real thing...and despite the erroneous belief that an atheist knows about these things...there is only one universal reality regardless of all the fingers pointing at it...

Do you think that skin cancer is the result of radiating love?

, Actually, the microbes which causes skin cancer "Loves" to eat something which is very yummy for them.
Hence, that causes skin cancer.

"Love" is president everywhere.. loll.

Ummm........sure....

Love is another form of interaction.

I see the universe as quite chaotic and unforgiving, but beautiful and awe-inspiring all at the same time.

There are countless unseen creatures like microbes etc present in this universe. Hence, this universe belongs to all of the creatures equally.

If one's "Love" is problem for another, it doesn't mean that universe is chaotic and unforgiving. Nobody wants to miss his/her turn of "Love", do you ?

Like your Chopra-clone chum, you have made up your own strange DIY religion, and seem intent on preaching it here. That can't be helped I suppose, but I AM tired of you continually misrepresenting authentic traditions like Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity.

As a Buddhist I don't share your belief, but you ARE speaking from an authentic tradition, unlike our two snake-oil sellers who don't care about the truth and are only intent on preaching their strange DIY religions.

I do not do theology...religious practice is my life, not belief.. Fyi, the real is on the other side of your belief, and all other unenlightened folk, as to what these words represent.. but alas, it seems your conceptual mind can grasp it....caught in the maya...like Fido with his bone...

No, you're just making stuff up. The shame of it is that you won't listen to people practising in authentic traditions who really know.

And this is your "mayo"!

hey Rick,
So are you a student of Buddhist believing ?
Woww...I can't get the different 'labels' on so many different 'gods'.
I can't really figure out the level of importance of any of them.
Explain it to me !
