d_L_t Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 If you are feeling down, I wouldn't recommend Christianity. You are told that you are a sinner, must refrain from certain things and must obey rules. To occupy and open your mind a bit I'd recommend reading a bit of Buddhist and Taoist ideas.Remember - You have freedom to believe what you want. You are the master of your own mind. cheers Father, i shall look into those books it's not just about feeling down, i know certain parts of my life need some serious attention but really what it boils down to; is fear of losing the one's i love, my mum and dad, family etc - I just dread I will never see them again after death. but oh well, i am here now and happy to be alive so yeh cherish what u have, stay positive. my monk book says our minds are like beautiful gardens, if we look after our garden then we shall reap the rewards or something along those lines. the book is called 'The monk who sold his ferrari' btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsk Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Why Exist At All? It's a silly question if you think about it. there aint no such thing... no shy of the big questions baba are ye? according to the book im reading just now, people, the earth and the entire universe is a giant mirage of matter - an orchestration of vibrations that constructs the "reality" which (apparently) separates us from God, and it does this with its illusion of physical actuality, and the seeming absence of God. but, of course, we were never separated from god, just as none of us are seperate from each other and we are each tricked into accepting the false reality of our "individuality" by our egos. we reincarnate over and over until we learn to see through the "reality" of our universe and finally awake to render the contents of our existence as meaningless by removing all concept of "difference" from our daily living perspective. this process is all done by forgiveness, forgiving every one of what they are not doing, because no one is doing evil things, because none of us or anything really exists, see.. and we acknowledge this by forgiving everything we would usually judge as negative, as god is love and does not judge, and - ultimately - what we aim to forgive is our own unconscious guilt at the idea that we have of being separated from God. so... according to the book, we DONT exist at all, the sooner we realize it the sooner we can get back to being the one thing we all are and have been from the start - and we can do away with this whole messy pretend physicality bullshit. but then, theres plenty other books out there with some script on what we are and why. fuck knows really, innit?

ashybang Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Why exist at all? Existence is just a state of being. Non-existence is just a state of not being. However, is a state of not being, an existence in itself ! i.e. The existence of non existence. Shakespeare i believe wrote :- "To be or not to be, that is the question". To answer the question one must first understand it, so sorry guys i`m beat before i start! Time to skin up and forget it as my existence will be non-existence before i find the answer. Of that i`m sure. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashybang Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) Jeez Louise! If ever anyone is doing a Phd in Chaos Theory, just point them in the direction of UK420. Is it a stoner thing, the complete inability to keep to the point? From the nature of existence to Barry Manilow in one easy move. how does that happen? Seamlessly too, not a ripple in the pond. Never thought of Manilow as either a religious icon or an answer to life's deeper mysteries, but then I haven't been stoned for a while now, what do I know? Bazza is of no mistery to me,but is answer to my existence. He is not a religious icon,but when dressed in leather I have been known to scream out Jesus! He is my drug and an addiction I will remain a part of. Barry is the point. No dark clouds will hold me down or take pieces from my soul to break me,for the heavenly spirit I bear protects and continues not to forsake me. By the way the name's Sharon mate.
