Utter reliance on the left half and its organs of
sensations has dehumanized people. So called foolish rationality looks strength not in subtlety but raw power perceived by the sense organs and hence the self destructive chase towards material wealth by any means. Organized religions are not nothing but tools of exploitation and imperialism.

The origin,..and reality of this whole ..... creation is just
One thought ... of the creator.

Australian Aborigines say , Life Begin when it enter a Dream .

After the Fall of Adam Kadmon , the Soul is striving to connect Back to the " light " ....eternal and All .

..each of Us , collecting our share of that light ...in this Dream .
613 Intentions have 613 Spiritual Laws , when these intentions deviate from these laws, it creates Misery and sorrow ...
as any intentions , conforms itself to its corresponding Spiritual Law ....things start to come into Harmony .

but the stages of evolution of " Soul " are not over yet.

when another stage of evolution is completed , Humanity will take another quamtum leap , like it did after the "Axial " age.

Re: # 63 Riaz Haq Maybe that is the reason, sala, why islami countreis are neat clean, and no rail patri janta better eating than others. Sala hanoods baby killing capabilities are second to none, what say you? You have stats for Riaz bhai, right. Cool

Re: # 62 Riazish, that is the diference between the Hindus and yourselves. A hindu could claim this and still live to see the next day, while a poor islami scholar was hanged.

This article is well written and quite interesting but it reminds me of Mansoor Al-Hallaj in the 9th century Persia who was hanged for shouting in ecstasy Anal-Haq, Anal-Haq (I am the Truth, I am the Truth). The religious orthodoxy of his time understood Anal Haq to mean that Mansoor was claiming to be God himself, whereas he had proclaimed in his sublime spiritual ecstasy, simply a total annihilation of himself.

Ajeya #43 "See, Urstruly, what you are calling "spiritualism", in your Islamic context, is not understood the same way in the parlance of other folks. Issues of morality are only one of millions of issues that are addressed by spirituality, as spirituality is understood in the Indic concept, for example.

Imagine yourself on a planet where you are the only living being, and there is nobody else, and what you say or do cannot affect any living thing. Even in such a situation, an intelligent person can have many spiritual thoughts"


I don't see any mention of an astronaut in your original post to Urstruly, only when you realized your mistake did you change your story to bring the astronaut in. An athiestic/materialistic/mechanically oriented society will tend to be very low on any kind of "spirituality" especially if it happens to be capitalistic...

[Thank you, there is no greater compliment anyone can give me. Appreciate it.]

But you are skirting the real issue.

How is it, that if I say that an astronaut is stranded on a distant planet, then I am assuming that "his language and thought process developed without participation in a society"?

Eh? Misunderstood Islamic genius?
