    Experiencing

    I could probably write a research paper on apples but I don't think I've ever had more than a sliver of an apple (dharma)

    Left behind reboot (2014) starring Nicholas Cage

    Left Behind (2014 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is anyone else really excited about this? I really hope Cage hams it up as much as possible and just cranks the dial off. This is probably going to be one of the best "so awful it's good" movies of the year.

    Difference between rebirth and reincarnation

    I never noticed before that Buddhism stresses rebirth and not reincarnation since there is no immortal soul. What exactly are the differences? Why is it said the Buddha experienced all of his rebirths?

    Difficulties with mindfulness/experiencing reality

    Does anyone else start to feel intense fear and madness when practicing mindfulness? Particularly when I am really into it, it feels like reality is breaking apart and I am going insane. I try to observe that of course but it is incredibly unpleasant and difficult. Is this the start of ego...

    skeptics: how will you deal with your childs sense of wonder to the supernatural?

    Whether God, Santa, fairies, fantasy, etc how will you indulge your child in what you personally consider to be fairy tales? Personally I wouldn't want to ridicule my child and have them miss out on the "magic" of such experiences but I would stay neutral and just give them my honest view as...

    did Siddhartha Buddha martyr himself to his beliefs?

    that is if you believe the legend of him eating a tainted piece of pork out of politeness and to promote a message of equality. I find it far more likely that he ate a bad meal and then a story was built around it that he knew he was going to die. Personally there is a sense of beauty that the...

    why do Christians get involved and get upset by politics?

    After all if "moral decay" is happening and society is about to collapse shouldn't they be happy? Revelation and all that. It seems like they are actively fighting against God by trying to "fix*" things. Why not let the bleeding heart liberal secular humanists take over and let them spread the...

    does it matter if nirvana/elightenment/satori/awakening are objectively proven by science?

    I realize that many in the Dharmic beliefs avoid or dismiss such states on purpose as part of their teaching, this is obviously not adressed to them. Should such states of being in the "now" be provable? Or should all that matter is that you lead a better life, even if in the end it is only...

    El Topo

    I posted some ideas from this in another thread but I want to discuss the actual film now. It is excellent. As Jodorowsky puts it is a Sutra on film. A mystical film, it is more than a cheap spaghetti western or a 60's novelty film. Like a religious text in movie form.

    Social complaining in society and spirituality

    This is aimed mainly at those in the west who practice "now" how do you view the cultural attitude of a complaining society? I find 90% of most peoples conversations are peppered mainly with petty complaints, gossip, selfishness and consumerism. Nothing substantial. I am admittedly an...

    The others; forgiveness, atonement, punishment

    This thread is to discuss the concept of "the others" in mystic based beliefs. Especially in the conservative black and white beliefs I have found this straw man immediately builds in peoples minds when you tell them you must forgive everyone and that we are all one. Most of them think of some...
