Of course it is real.

Jesus's purpose for adventing was to show that we are not the [material body] we are spirit-soul.

That revelation buttressed the ideal democratic individualism and is the basis behind the ipso facto idea of a individual's self-sovernty as the status-quo.

Ya got me!

To "Re-incarnate" indeed means to return "as one was in the past" ---"Reincarnation" IS NOT THE CORRECT "TERM"!!!!

The correct term is "Transmigration of the soul".

The soul is the seat of consciousness. The soul ('anima' in Latin) animates the material body.

The soul is composed of "Non-Material Energy [sat-chit-ananda ~aka, Spirit-soul]"

vs

The material body is composed of "Material Energy [EARTH-WATER-FIRE-AIR-ETHER-MIND-INTELL-EGO-SPACE-TIME-KARMA ... that temporarily is: created, maintained, dissolved and then similarly re-used ad-infinitum]"

We are spirit-souls in the Material world.

There is karma for every wielder of free-will.

There is a difference between pondering the uncertainties life is facing us with, and faith in unproven and unprovable assumptions. In that I may reasonably assume, or even know, certain things to happen or be valid unless some unfortunate or bizarre circumstances prevail. Faith is a different thing altogether, because it doesn't include things that stand to reason (unless some unfortunate...... etc...)

It is true that we are composed of energy that is never destroyed, but consciousness is obvious a function of the brain. And if we are not material, then explain how a knock on the head or drugs can effect the spirit-soul, and even put one unconscious? Solitary

Peristalsis:

the involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine or another canal, creating wavelike movements that push the contents of the canal forward.

I doubt anyone would want to willingly control many of the involuntary functions of the body - remembering to keep your heart beating, consciously moving your eyes back and forth in tiny seemingly imperceptible ways, moving things along in your bowels, and flexing every tiny muscle fiber in your skin to form goosebumps would at best become tedious and at worst kill you.

Reincarnation is just another way in which a person can avoid having to come to terms with their own mortality. Since it is painfully obvious that the body dies, man had to create the concept of the soul as being the immortal essence of a person which can live on. It simply isn't true. As unique as a person may be, when they die, there is nothing left of the mind that was created by the physical processes of a brain fed by the fuel reactor that is the body.

It might be wise to not take the life you have now for granted thinking you can bank on another. Given the finality of death and the scientific verification that the mind cannot exist without a physical brain to manifest it, it is reasonable to assume this may in fact be the only life you'll ever have. Be a shame to waste it on flights of fancy built upon... well, nothing but wishful thinking.

Death is indeed a fucked up thing.  Isn't it?  But knowing this, and not falling back on a life after death, makes living this one and only life you'll ever get all the more sweet.

A Ha! Somebody finally mentioned the avatar. I got rid of it because of one of the following reasons:

1. It was incredibly sexist and I felt it might be off-putting to females that came on the forum

2. Other people on the forum were too caught up in it and it distracted from discussions

3. The wife saw it and "objected to the sexuality of it"

A Ha! Somebody finally mentioned the avatar. I got rid of it because of one of the following reasons:

1. It was incredibly sexist and I felt it might be off-putting to females that came on the forum

2. Other people on the forum were too caught up in it and it distracted from discussions

3. The wife saw it and "objected to the sexuality of it"

You decide........



Has to be #3, I don't see you giving a shit about 1 and 2 or you would have removed it long ago.

Only in the human form of life is Karma created. In Other forms karma is burnt off.

The Peristaltic theory of faith and free will.......

That's deep.

I shit, therefore I have no will.

"You" don't do anything!

You assume the POSITION.

YOU ARE FORCED TO ---AND YOU SUBMIT TO ITS POWER AND WILL.

It is, for all intents & purposes a GOD that you cow-tow to.

You cannot control your bowels ---yet you take the helm of flotsam on seas you know not where it takes us and our compadres.

It's power and will? What's that supposed to mean? My bowel movements are proof of an act of God?. Why is this supposed to have a deeper meaning? Is it that we don't have free will but our bowels have? Is it that knowledge is meaningless because we can't tell when it's time to do...... well you know what? And if processes we can only partially control have deep meaning, how about things we can control? Why are they different?

BTW, I can assure you that I can do things that have consequences for my bowels and their activity.

It doesn't mean anything. He's has a hard concept grasping the basic concept of logic.

I can't really continue. This argument seems horribly one-sided and rather guilt-inducing, much like when you ask a four year old if light is a wave or a particle.

Every time I see a post by Bhaktajan, I flash back to the Boston Commons in 1971 and Hare Krishnas bobbing up and down to drum and flute music, while others begged money. If that is their version of enlightenment, I'll do without.

Kind of brings back my memory of the chick I meet at the bus station in LA who introduced me to the Unification church and the splendid night I had when she tried to convince me to not leave the flock.
