They think think think think and then relax and BAM suddenly there is some kind of answer, but who or what gave the impulse to write the formula down on a particular time - sadly no one questions that.... Unfortunately until now i have not met a NeuroScientist who could answer this question after presenting all their discoveries about human workings and consciousness... everyone just packs up and goes silently away... <br />Who or what gives an impulse to go left or right or give oneself to spirituality or to animal care... or make scientific discoveries or Not to make them, dunno.... that's quite boggling to me since i haven't experienced 'free to make decisions' state. And i don't talk about this wakeful state where there is an illusion that we make a decision. Scientists say that there is 7-8 seconds gap between body and our consciousness knowing time. I have been to place where i saw "before 8 seconds" and there is no free will as we imagine it... <br />There is some kind of substratum where from everything arises and what another will say in a minute is already known before he even gets an impulse to say that....<br />That we could debate and spend lots of hours, but nothing leads to answers except ones own experience.<br /> <br />So is with spirituality and masters, for example, masters could sit and debate and question their truths and experiences, but spirituality is 'slow', there is not much to debate about, hm i think, for example take christianity and Jesus, what he teaches is kinda universal, how can you debate 'love one another' or 'love Your God with all your strenght...' or 'God is Love' etc. ? For example Zen master sits with Jesus, what can they debate about? One would say that "there is manifest Self , Love", and another would say "no there is nothing, what is God?, you are nothing", since they both can speak only from their own experiences, I am just failing to see the point here for a need to debate between different dimensions, and where would that lead them ?<br />just guessingArvydashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16930435403396428739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-34786574452281572232015-05-21T04:27:14.747-07:002015-05-21T04:27:14.747-07:00Dear Ed, I agree it is a sad state of affairs now,...Dear Ed, I agree it is a sad state of affairs now, especially in the "spiritual" world. I made my living in science where every bias, every idea and every pet theory was questioned. Very tough on the ego but very conducive for reaching the truth. Scientists however are not generally interested in spiritual matters and tend to be hyper intellectual with a very weak and hidden "feeling" side. They sometimes can't feel anything and can have no emotional connection to people.<br /><br />The spiirtual marketplace of today is almost completely free of thinking. Very little questioning is going on. Only following and worshiping. People are sometimes being lead by thinly veiled egotists or leaders that are very insecure. You have to be very careful nowadays. Questioning is very much forbidden in spiritual groups, like it is in most dysfunctional families. <br /><br />Regards <br /><br />BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
