    Angels with wings?

    Sorry. I wasn't consulted on the design.

    Angels with wings?

    Angels are depicted with wings to distinguish angels from humans, and their wings represent their direct link between Heaven and Earth...as liaisons, so to speak.

    Need prayer for friends.

    Why are we praying for them? So they may become more adept in their practice? Perhaps it would be best to let them be.

    Apophaticists: Do you exist?

    I am neither the experience, nor the object of experience, nor the experiencer... https://www.religiousforums.com/threads/in-my-true-nature.273843/ The pot does not have an intrinsic existence. It cannot exist independently of the clay.

    Is forced labour in prisons ethical?

    Hard labor now? Initially, we were just discussing labor. Another goalpost moved. Prison doesn't have just one task. Anyway, since I'm not inclined to keep chasing goalposts, I'm done here. I've made my point.

    Is forced labour in prisons ethical?

    If one isn't fit to stand trial, how would they wind up in prison to begin with?

    Is forced labour in prisons ethical?

    You've just moved the goalposts. To my knowledge, there are systems in place to determine if one is mentally fit to be tried or imprisoned, at least here in the States, just as there are systems in place to determine if one is mentally fit to work in society.

    Is forced labour in prisons ethical?

    I'll stop you right there. Unless the individual in prison was ignorant of the potential consequences of their actions, there is nothing "involuntary" about being sheltered there. And a person would die. They can do the same whether free or incarcerated.

    Apophaticists: Do you exist?

    Can you observe these thoughts? Are they you? Or are they just temporary experiences you observe that come and go? What is it that es experiencing these thoughts of you?

    Apophaticists: Do you exist?

    Is the person not just a term for the body/mind complex? What is being reconfigured? Does awareness change as a result of losing a limb? Are you aware of this sensory data? What is it which is aware of this data?

    Is forced labour in prisons ethical?

    Doesn't society force labor for food, clothing, and shelter? Why would prison be any different?

    Apophaticists: Do you exist?

    Person? ;) Do you not experience the body? What is that which is experiencing? Is it the person?

    Apophaticists: Do you exist?

    Thought of by whom? By others? By you? If you think of yourself as an experiential construct, have you not just created an object that you can observe? Is that object you?

    Apophaticists: Do you exist?

    When you say, "I," is it the experience of existing that you are referring to?

    Question about astral projection

    Since nearly half the population does not recall ever having a lucid dream, it's a little bit special. Surveys show that roughly 55% of adults have experienced at least one lucid dream during their lifetime, and 23% of people experience lucid dreams at least once per month...

    Question about astral projection

    What would be the point of astral projecting to an astral projection school to learn how to astral project if you could already astral project to the astral projection school? How does this differ from run-of-the-mill psychokinesis?

    If you had psychokinesis.Would you make the opposite gender's clothes disappear?

    No. I see no reason for the opposite sex to be cold.

    Apophaticists: Do you exist?

    At the risk of steering this thread back on topic, what does "I" point to?
  20. SalixIncendium

    “Hindus fall because they worship lesser gods.” Abrahamics are trampling Hindus. Can you help me understand?

    "Will be" implies that it currently isn't.
