what is the meaning of one hour of your time?
You are eternal. We act, in this unlimited drama which we call life. This is an unlimited drama of victory and defeat, happiness and sorrow, day and night ...We have different roles. The question of: What is the meaning of life?
Only arises when we are conscious of our current lifetime only, when we think that we are bodies, perishable bodies and we cannot find the meaning of a lame existence of doing mechanical things day by day until the body ceases to work... inthe awareness of the petiness of our current situation, when we are aware that suffering is there...in that circumstance, we ask "what is the purpose of our life?" Until we have not discovered for ourselves who are you, WHO AM I? until we experience this then this question will be there. WHo am i? the body? which part? the brains? how a physical brain can produce inmaterial thoughts? how thoughts appear in our mind? if we have answers for these questions then we can talk about God..otherwise, we are just repeating what a book says or what a priest or "holy man" says or what my tradition told me, but whithout the experience of it.

Once I know who am I, i can see that I act in this world. My actions have consequences, positive or negative at this time. What I do, it will come back to me. There is no need for someone to punish you, the actions will get you sooner or later, in this lifetime or in the next one.. the one who suffers is the soul, you, the sentient being.

Once you see that your own Karma (action) has a consequence and that there are 6 billion souls around this planet each one performing actions (roles) then you will see that this web of actions produce an end result...this is known as the drama. At this time, it is hell....
Our actions begin by a thought, how thoughts start?

This is not my knowledge, it is pretty deep. Here check it out, if you have the chance: www.brahmakumaris.com
I found there is not knowledge comparable to this... and in my expereince, there is no better experience. How do you recognize God? Through his knowledge. Which knowledge? the knowledge of the beginning, middle and end, our own history and geography, our purpose and a clear explanation of who God is... which you can experience yourself.....the experience of God and the experience of who you are....

What about the religions? 2000 years after their founders have found them... any changes? Things are worse as a matter of fact.

Answer below: (between your post)

"ok. you are only accountable for what you know and and innocent baby doesn't know anything except that it is hungry, hurting or in some other form of need."

But according to Chrisitanity you just have one birth to follow God... Then the baby either will go to "hell" or...will have another chance by taking birth again... now this last option is not available in christianity...So the baby will go to hell which is not what you explained above.

"Because we are accountable for what we know, may I ask this? You seem to have a lot of information that did not come to mind to me in the middle of the night so my question to you is,"What are you doing?"

I am observing as dettached as possible how the Drama of life unfolds accurately and posting some of the knowledge which I learned, sharing with others. Knowing that those that are "doing something" are getting "peace awards" or being killed, and knowing that either way nothing has happened. Things are getting worse every year. Unsensible human beings are trashing our planet. What are you "doing"?

"My whole point is that if the world would pool it's knowledge and resources then these problems could be solved."

That is exctly what every politician will tell you, not mentioning holy men, seers, sacred people and the like...the problem is that there is a big gap between saying it and acting. Can you do something about it?


I am not nearly as ignorant as you might have thought by my quick note. And obviously, I am not seeing everything either.

"The poor cow thing, well it is my personal beleif that they are here for many reasons and though it seems obvious you don't eat meat, there is at least one point that we will just have to disagree on. I know that if there were a cow and a child in a burning barn, the child would be rescued first and the cow only if possible. You would act in the same manner. If you believe that the cow is more important then that would be another discussion. "

The poor cow thing is the same episode as the poor human thing in a third world country or perhaps around your neighborhood... Being completely insensitive to suffering is "fashionable" these days. Believes of who is most important don't matter, what matters is : are you aware of suffering? whether it is a cow or a human being, can you see that? Do you feel mercy? Then.. I can decide to do something, which is not to spend a dime in meat, killing and suffering.. Now as you said above, "if the world would help in the same way, then you wouldn't see the supply and demand thing for killing"... Nice wish. I decided to do something about it .. now is your turn...

"Tell me this, in what religion ( and I know it is either buddist or hindu) that believes in reincarnation as different life forms? Doesn't this faith also teach levels of greatness. That once you were one creature and then another depending on how you led your previous life? Surely we have more value than a cow."

The belief in reincarnation is the "just" answer for the baby problem above. We are souls (I say it one more time), souls take bodies. The soul in that baby will take another body. Huaman souls cannot take animals bodies. Huamans have intellects to recognize who God is, to have the experience of God, animals do not. However, animals have souls too.
The body that you take goes according to your actions in your previous births, this is known as the law of karma.

"When you set up something to call holy it is idol worship. Does your god think it is a good thing to worship a cow over him? I'm not being a smart alec, I just want to know."

There is only one God. He is a soul just like you and me. However, He never took a body; thus He didn't go into rebirth.
Therefore, He doesn't forget like we do. God tells us who we are: souls, but we believe that we are bodies. He tells us that we were worshipers in time. The fruit of all this devotion or whorship, is knowledge. The knowledge of who He really is and the relationship that we have with him, which is eternal.
Body consciousness is what lead us into the 5 vices which in turn separates us from our true nature and our true relationship with God.

"Please answer."
It was a pleasure.

There are no theories in the western world that can explain the origin of the world in a rational, logical manner. Neither creationism nor ID nor Evolution.
As a matter of fact, true evolutionism is not concerned with the "origins".

The reason why these theories fail is because they consider time as a "straight line" from a "beginning" to an uncertain future. The problem is the "beginning".
The Eastern world already figure out that problem, instead of a "straight line" of time, time is circular, cyclical. Then you don't have the problem of the "beginning" but rather accept the fact that time is eternal, eternity means cyclical and cyclical means repetition. Just like everything in nature is cyclical, so time is the same. These ideas support scientific laws such as the law of conservation of energy/ matter, the second law of thermodynamics and even some aspects of the theory of relativity when it deals with time/space.

The short answer: No, humans don't come from monkeys...
It is time to be sensible. If a theory cannot explain the "origin" of the universe in a logical, reasonable way, how can it successfully explain the "origin" of a human? or a monkey?

Plato said: " We don't learn, we remember". WE are souls. We have recorded all of our lives within us. This is how people can do regressions, it is just about remembering what we did in a previous life.. on the same token we can see the future too, even though it is harder to place our consciousness in something that we will experience rather than something that we recently had experienced. Because time is cyclical, I will exist again in the next cycle. Because all of our expereinces are recorded and because history and geography repeats identically, the second I am aware of a particular "scene" I will act accordingly. It is like playing a 45 RPM , the needle moves and I play the tune recorded in me.

To probe this, look, what I am writing right now. I would lie to you If I tell you that I am thinking word for word what I am writing... it just comes naturally, even without me thinking. How that happens? Once I am aware of the task, the needle moves and i play the tune... In the west we are not so fond on accepting 2 things: Time is predestined and repetitive and the fact that free will is an illusion "our decisions" are based on previous experiences (law of Karma) I will be "pulled" to act in a certain way... 99% of our choices are not rational... and out of the 1% , 50% of the "rational" desicions are wrong... the other 0.5% it was predestined to happen . We cannot control or know every single variable that moves the universe.. it is arrogance to believe that we can make a good desicion.. if it is in the drama of life , it will happen... otherwise it will not. We are like actors playing a role in this life, a unique role. when we get attached to this role, we suffer. We need to remember who we truly are: Souls having a bodily experience.. and expressing our roles.
