Is anyone involved? Are you a sceptist?

Omg

was that mean ye or no?

Looks more logical than scientology. But then again, everything is more logical than scientology

Typical hippie bollocks if you want to know my opinion

p4, what's the benefit after reading that book?

different side of view to the world, comparing different concept, contemplation, reverie, changes

I prefer contemplation of a pizza and a glass of beer ... not to long though cause their meant to end up in my stomach !
And after a few beers, you might see the face of your saviour in you glass : it looks like you but with a pale yellowish shade ...

Sorry, I'll don't do it again ...

@P4: have you read all of its 2000 pages ?

I've read the wiki page about it and what i have to say about it as that this is one of the many modern articles (writing, video, etc.) that try to say "OMG! We have discovered the ultimate truth! You have to read this and find the real truth for your life".

I'm not saying this book is total bullshit, but i found it weird that compared to christianity/Bible it has many common concepts, but many differences also. In my opinion, it's useless to accept only a part of the teachings of the Bible: you either accept it 100% or not at all and use other "teaching" as a reference for your life.

And i agree with Voodoo: we have too many theoretical/philosophical/scientifical books that the majority of us are not interested in. Life is about spirit, mind and body in harmony; contemplation, study/social life, beer and food. As in other controversy thread, i rest my case that the Bible has the best view towards topics from the origins of universe to pizza and beer.

/me agrees

BEER

I haven't read it all yet, but I already can't agree with your concept.

"OMG! We have discovered the ultimate truth! You have to read this and find the real truth for your life" <-- this book only shows different point of view to the world. it's your decission will you blindly follow them (like with the Bible) or will you involve your brain to check the true value.

"In my opinion, it's useless to accept only a part of the teachings of the Bible: you either accept it 100% or not at all and use other "teaching" as a reference for your life." <=- different thing is how you interprete that words... you know that the Bible has been translated to different languages, the translation hasn't been done on the original. Also sone of the papers included in the Bible has been create long time after the Christ, many christian rules are obsolete and has been invented in the Middleages by people choosen by other people (Popes).

"Life is about spirit, mind and body in harmony; contemplation, study/social life, beer and food." <=- Definitely not. It's only about the mind, spirit and the body. Food and drinks are completely not needed to live, there are many people that learned to live without need of eating. It's hard since most of humans were breeding with syntetic locks encoded by the culture, but it is indeed possible. You can believe it or not, but they've learned to transform cosmic energy into the life energy. It's only an example that humans mind is unlimted. I'm really mad on christian religion since they forbid you to learn your natural spirit (they treat esoterism as some kind of forbidden dark magic, while using it continously - exorcisms or flash of insights by father Pio, it all can be learned; maturity of mankind is required).

You know you can code same things in many different ways, more or less poor. It's exactly the same in the books, in the description of anything - you can talk about the same thing using different definitions, creating different environment (compare Quantum Physics and Classical Physics).

Have you heard about Anastasia? She lives in the middle of Siberia, in the deep Taiga with no problems, she knows EVERYTHING about ANYTHING, she's been asked very different question about very diffferent thing - the answers were surprisingly right. (link)

You can call things in different ways, more or less commercial... But the real thing is about your personal evolution, about getting on the higher level of life, spiritual life. Not about repeating forced laws.

Do you know humans lives aim is to settle the stars? Really.

I'm not gonna get into the religious debate again, but I'll just talk about this.
I'm sorry P4, but that's wrong. Show me someone who can do that with several verifiable sources and I'll believe you.

I don't know where people get all of this. The majority of people use upwards of 95% (iirc) of their brain power. The really smart ones generally have bigger brains and/or differently shaped ones. As for psychics, I believe nearly all are fakes. The few real ones are probably just able to take little things about people and the world and use them to guess the truth/future.

Hmm. I've seen an interview with a vegan once (not exactly what you mean, I know) and he looked like one step from Auschwitz camp victim. He said he's perfectly ok and he's feeling well, but his body was saying: "Get this ***PEEP-BO!*** idiot mind outta me!"

Sorry, but I'm not gonna test cosmic energy on myself

Looks like this topic tends to get into religion too..
The only wish i have is for heaven's sake, stop associating christianity and Jesus with religion ... Jesus was against religion and christianity wasn't a religion in its beginnings. Constantin the Great made it a religion..

What is Christianity then?
