    Higher self, self-deification and buddha nature

    I agree with you. But with a little tendency to disagree: Because if the daily life is too complex to fulfill your personal goals, too chaotic to use your principles as tool and too full of fortuities, then first you have to bring some order and structure in the daily life. We don't speak about...

    Higher self, self-deification and buddha nature

    Yes, both, but on the question of their own will, many devotees realize that to want to go to Goloka Vrndavan is also a direction of the Ego/own Will and thus they say "As long I can serve Krishna, it is not important to which direction I go". It's a little bit curious, because at this point of...

    Become your own god or goddess

    Maybe, by rituals, introspection, contemplation. You will find in the history of human religious traditions many tools you can use. I think the first step is not to define the God/Higher Self within you, but to look what is inside you. The biggest problem is that before searching, people define...

    Higher self, self-deification and buddha nature

    I think, to think that a transcendental entity, or this entity that humans perceive under different names, cut itself in pieces, is a very materialistic kind of understanding. If you look at the ocean and at a glass water, both is water, isn't ? Or you look at the fire and the sparks, are they...

    Are we monotheistic?

    Interesting topic. Yes, it is some years old, but I want share some thoughts. When we think of the Abrahamic religions, it is not clear, especially in the biblical tradition of the Old Testament, whether there are other gods or YHVH is the only God. "Thou shalt have no other gods beside me." In...

    process of Reincarnation - Questions

    Dear community, During my explorations of the Eastern religions I never understand die process of reincarnation completely. There are some questions I never found answered. 1 People believe that animals cannot act free and therefore do not build up karma. Why is a soul that lived in an animal...

    Higher self, self-deification and buddha nature

    The Buddhists I know wouldn't speak about "individual's buddha nature", because Buddhism don't believe in an existing "individual". As far I know, Buddha never talked about a Self. But that doesn't mean that he has teached that there is "no Self". Buddhists often goes to the reality before the...

    Why Setian?

    Most of the question is answered here, including the question "What is Setianism?": Setian DIR

    Why Bahai

    I would not say that I have changed my view. As a Setian I see the progressive development of religions as the reflection of the self-consciousness: People realize that norms, rules and regulations, or specific form of belief systems, are not compatible with their own self and because of this...

    Reincarnation

    The interesting point is that reincarnation only came into Hinduism with the Upanishads, in the 4 Vedas most beliefs of today's Hinduism are not found. Since Scripture has existed in India only since 300 B.C., it cannot be ruled out that the idea of reincarnation was only born through the...

    Why Bahai

    Some years before I met some people who follow Bahá'u'lláh/Abdu'l-Baha/Shoghi Effendi. Most people with an academic background know that all traditional religions are not clear revelations, but have developed over hundred or thousand of years and were manifested in various traditions and...

    Is Death Evil?

    Normally actions are evil if the results or consequences are not conform to common moral standards. But to be dead doesn‘t violate against these standards. E.g normally it will be evil to kill someone. But if the person is defined as bad person, then to kill this person is not labeled as evil...

    The Presence of Set

    "The text of another, is an affront to the Self" That is one of the most important statements for me :) Its a document of personal communication between Dr. Aquino and Set, it is meaningful for the path Dr. Aquino has chosen, and in this context I understand this work. I respect it, but its...

    The Presence of Set

    Ok, if you mean the totality of existence, then Set will be a part of the Cosmic Order. The role of Set is very good described in the CToS. The term nature is derived from neteru. All natural principles came from the neteru. Thus, Set was the opponent. He is a part of nature but at the same...

    The Presence of Set

    This could be a problem of definitions. There is a Universe at whole, this Universe includes the Objective Universe (the natural order) and many Subjectives Universes. The Universe is both known and unknown to mankind. Thus, the Universe at whole is NOT the Natural Order, Set is part of the...

    Hi Valor, thanks for this, I haven't read the book, but I think its merely wrote from the western perspective. Please correct me if I fail. Best wishes, Xeper.

    How do i know i'm ready?

    Perhaps, I think we shouldn't think in categories like initiate/non-initiate :) I was a member 12 years before and left the ranks of the Temple, thus big part of my left-hand path initiation works outside of the Temple and its doctrine. Some weeks/monthes before I deceide to become a member of...
