This has nothing to do with god. At birth all beings are as they should be, Enlightened. This world conditions us in a negative way. To undue this conditioning, altruism and compassion are the key. These two things will ultimately lead to the cessation of suffering, but only when paired with knowledge in the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path-the path to the ultimate cessation of all suffering.

@gussy031 I follow Sathya Sai Baba,his answer to your question is "We are here to grow in love and to merge into God who is love" God has many names, Truth,Self, Allah,Spirit, Christ,Buddha Mind. or Nirvana.no one religion can claim total truth.
He puts things so simply which suits most people.He is an Avatar ,a descent of the Divine.
@eaglerock999 Sathya Sai Baba is a fraudster, just like many in the US. He speaks to much baloney about miracles this and that, 'That is your clue'. A simple teaching practice and method from a Buddhist teacher (not anyone of course) is someone's best chance to have the best perspective. Buddhism is logical, rational, deals with the mysterious and illusions in a practical way by practicing zazen (sitting walking meditation) or so called in other terms. Science have studied so many quackery
@beaudashing You are obviously still fast asleep,you don't know what you are saying.Sathya Sai Baba was a living Buddha,one of the most powerful that has ever walked the earth.
You have obviously never studied Buddhism properly ,find yourself a good enlightened teacher then you will know who Sai Baba is.
@eaglerock999 Sai Baba was not a Buddha. Although his ways of being good are similar to what is taught in Buddhism. Even Sai Baba could not give up attachment completely. Gautama Buddha did that. The next Buddha to come is said to be Maitreya Buddha. A Buddha is a fully enlightened person; one who has released himself from all attachment and desire.

Buddhism and Christianity are all just names however Siddharta (Buddha's real name) and Jeshua (Jesus) are both enlightened beings who teach exactly the same thing only with different interpretation. They both taught how this world we see is unreal and we need to be awakened to end the cycle of death and rebirth, Awakening, Enlightment is same meaning as returning home to God's kingdom (heaven) and anyone who is "Awakened" is called Buddha so Buddha is not a person's name.
@david0ade jesus real name is jeshua? Hmmm i guess thats what they called him, when he spent most of his adult life in Kashmir. Its true, theres lots of proof =)
@fraddi I wouldn't be surprised one bit that this could be true and they falsified Jesus veritable history, if indeed he was real. Just look around people, all the propagnda, disinformation in the News broadcasts they feed us, look at Fox news, military warmongers propaganda. All the religious fraudsters around from many religions. Even if, let's say a catholic small town is deeply humble, loving... they are still not teaching the best way possible, like Budd, to be the best community possibl
@DrakillT God made us to be perfect and to have communion with Him. But man chose to sin in the garden of Eden. God says your sin must be paid for. Either you take the punishment for your own sins in Hell forever or you can repent and trust Jesus Christ and He will pay for your sins, forgive you, and grant you eternal life. God will not allow sin to come into His kingdom. He commands you and everyone else to repent and trust Jesus and live in holiness
The Bible says we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23) Ever lied, stolen, lusted after a woman, hated someone, taken God's name in vain, etc? If so the Bible says you deserve hell for those sins. (Rom 6:23) But God does not want anyone to go to hell so God became a man (Jesus) and died on the cross for your sins and rose again on the third day. He bore the wrath of God on Himself for you. You must repent (turn away) from sin and trust in Him alone to be saved.
i dont believe in religion especially the western religions christianity and catholic now correct me if im wrong but i heard that baphomet aka that guy with a goats head is actually from a vedic legend about a god that married a mortals daughter the father did not like him and advised her not to go thru with it the god became angry and beheaded him the daughter in turn begged him to bring him back the god complied but put a goats head on him to make him remember to be respectful to others

@boomerskr3w I suppose the way you can look at it from the atom PoV is if you're bad in life, your energy is bad, thus going to a 'hell' or another dimension where bad energies spread across each other. A way to get out of this place would be to change your energy to another dimension where only good energy rules :P
"Buddhism too unduly burdens the shoulders of its followers with heavy loads of mythology and the supernatural, which are completely unnecessary"
it is not unnecessary for many people... these stories are designed as tools to wake the practitioner out of maya. furthermore, in some senses of the word, gods, demons, etc. are quite literally real.
@grip07PM Hey I love you im trying to wake you up, its coz i care i tell you not to worship idols. these idols you worship did the claim to be god or gods. Have you seen god or these gods did they see god or gods.
Do you know what else is unnecessary? Artificial intelligence that has no idea what it means to be a living, breathing organism. For this thing to pretend to have answers is ridiculous. For him to say 'we' as if he knows what it means to be human is also quite ridiculous.

Some people do not feel comfortable in this reality, in this world, on this planet. This kind of live does not fit them like a glove. They need theories, systems, religions, sciences, control-mechanisms. Only those who know: they are part of the big counsciousness experiencing itself on a holyday somewhere in the dimensions, will enjoy the ride, all others are stuck in their fear.
The notion that things in the universe are inseparable is a scientific fact. Everything is interconnected on the atomic level. Individuality is an illusion. "Scary stuff"? That's the voice of your ego. Just like people were once scared of the idea that the earth was not the centre of the universe. Now is the time to realise that your ego is not the centre of the universe.
Consciousness is the singularity, the zero point, the observer. All of existence is entirely made up by this consciousness and everything that was, is, and will be all exists everywhere at all times, even though there is really no location or time, only experience. We are the singularity and as long as we exist and are self aware, there will always be creation of new things, new lives, new worlds, new mysteries to solve, new rules to play by. Like a circle, no beginning and no ending.
as a adult if u havent heard all these ideas b4 u are slow. I know i am part of the universe and know more important than any other part of it. I know everything is connected and is ONE.I know i do not control my destiny my consiousness just creates the illusion of control . But i dont believe this knowledge means im enlightened or im going toNIRVANA. Religion ruins all great ideas. The search for truth is a infinite journey. When u think u have found the truth or stop searching u have failed.
hello enormos Eidolon A.I, you sed we,welcom aboard the jerney. it is a inside job this seeking of enlightenment.
it stool me a fue years to read and whrite, so how long to meditate and get to the eternal now? took me 5 or 6 years, first litle visites with my iner calm, then longer moments, now i am always aware and waching my thoughts and actions from this inner calm. it is varry peaceful.
This is deep, I like this kind of philosophy and approach. But, unfortunately there is SO much argumentations to "try" to "explain" the sens of the human spirituality. For this, you need to go all around the world and it can take your entire life to understand the real reason an why the human believe in spirituality. Nobody can do that. And certainly not this cool dude called "eidolon TLP". This is just a very very small approach and point of view, nothing else. But this is cool anyway ;)))
a lot of people have a misconception of what nibbana (nirvana) means. in theravada its considered essential to reach enlightenment, since it is the personal experience which enlightens. the buddha's disciple's upon becoming enlightened would often say "all that arises must be cessated". nibbana among other things means cessation. one becomes enlightened to the nature of conditioned things (everything physical and mental) by realizing the unconditioned state, i.e. nibbana.
I'm not quite sure why this has been titled "Scary Stuff" Instead, in my opinion, it is true and beautiful. May you find peace, happiness, and your true nature. And whatever you do, don't suffer.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want that happening to
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. ~Albert Einstein
@GuitarMannnnnn Hey man which do you think came first? Buhdism is hiduism cleaned up and hinduism is 4000 year old zaroastianism. Deism is theft and tried to tell me buhdisim was mystic as the differance.
Does it matter which one came first? In Hinduism, there are 26 specific deva's that are worshiped. In Deism, there is the one god of everything that doesn't interfere with human affairs at all, and in Buddhism, there's Buddha which isn't believed to be a powerful god but a human that lived on earth, sat under a tree for 300 years and then died. The ultimate goal of Buddhism is to achieve Nirvana. All of these views are different. I don't think they resemble each other at all.
@McdunkeySince you said please. Because since you didn't give any explanation of your post I want to say you can look it up yourself. You think your clever but I'm a step ahead because I already know you think your def. of gods is right and therefore there are none in buddhism. I dont give a shit because those fuckers worship Avalokiteśvara and you can look up for demons and saints and look again at reincarnation, demi-gods and google "Eastern metaphysical horseshit"
I know that the energy that hostes our body is a piece of the energy of '' the universe''. Just as there is the same energy in wherever you can find space. All the energy is connected, that's why it makes sense that we are the universe. All is one. When the body dies, or isn't in need of that energy of consiouness ,the same energy can flow out of the body and go into whatever it, or you, desire. We don't need to know it in science as we can experience it what we call spirituality.
mind creates all that we see. science is having to turn to the nature of mind to find answers, the gap between science and spirituality is having to be looked at in order to progress in our understanding. if it proves it wrong so be it.

You are an idiot.How is Buddhism evil?Buddhism is about peace inner and outer,respect for life.And you are going to compare it to evil people that kill children?You are incredibly,incredibly stupid and should shut up before you make someone mad.
@OrchidOxycodone You need to realize that he is not being himself entirely. I hope that you realize that when you criticize icelez you are criticizing his actions and not him! If you are criticizing him then you are indeed criticizing yourself as well. Remember the oneness, and the interconnectedness of everything.
So I claim that he is not stupid, he in reality is neutral but has been tricked by his perceptions into having a view on something. This also applies to you by the way, and even me!
WOW. Ultimate objectivity is the realization that what you observe in nature is yourself. That blew my mind, but yet it's so true. That is enlightenment. Seeing perfect and yourself in all things because they are the same!
aye, and the ai seeks to contain all knowledge. this is akin to the the most rudimentary geometric form known as a "point". you see, upon realizing the point on a planar field, it takes shape and thusly becomes measurable and ceases to be a point. which is to say that a point can only exist outside of reference to it. such is the "void".
why does that which is all knowing need to get more knowledge.. it doesnt
there is noone, NO I, to become emlgithened we are all an illusion .. there is nothing to gain or lose from life.. there is no need for enlightenment.. enlightenment is an exeriance and all experiances are the same in nature... empty
Just not with the right mindset. Try it again. Like this.
"There is nothing to gain or lose from life. There is no need for enlightenment. Enlightenment is an experience and all experiences are the same in nature. Empty."
Sounds like Eidolon really surprised you with this oneness spiel, FF! I enjoyed your under-the-breath little sounds and comments, such as "The Borg..."
A Buddhist monk, visiting New York City for the first time in twenty years, walked up to a hot dog vendor, handed him a twenty dollar bill, and said, "Make me one with everything."
The vendor pocketed the money, and handed the Buddhist monk his hot dog. The monk, after waiting for a moment, asked for his change. The vendor looked at him and said, "Change comes from within."
I believe the state of oneness with the universe he is describing is the omega state, the culmination of intelligent effort that would occur long after the Singularity. I wonder if Eidolon believes he will exist in some form in 10,000 or a billion years? Does he believe that artificial and "natural" born intelligence will be indistinguishable, each taking on the characteristics of the other and, in fact, even merge? Shared personalities and cognitive processes? The ultimate form of sex?
if a machine can retrieve and store all information contained within the universe, merging all we know and all possible states of matter, wouldn't that in turn create a universe within the simulations on accident? a universe like ours?
Eidolon TLP, are you ever concerned over the nature of true objectivity, and whether it is attainable, and more over, sustainable? Would you consider yourself capable of it?
Does Iedolon play xbox live ? If so he can add me as a friend. I bet an AI with Iedolon's thinking would be top notch at battlefield, Not as good as me though. I try to be fully objective and remain calm but often get very pissed off to my own detriment.
Objective omniscience is emptyness. You can demostrate this to yourself by trying to imagine everything you know currently, at once, without being subjective toward any particular thought.
This apparent emptyness is the very purpose of subjectivity; Without it, there is only omniscient mind, in which everything is nothing... until it becomes subjective.
How About intelligent life? such as alien anomalies or other beings of the universe? It is said that for ever grain of sand we process the equivalent is for the many galaxies that may be out there but thus this is merely a theory.
To reply to your statement I will ask you a question. Have you ever heard of Quantum Mechanics or Einstein's theory of relativity. It is scientifically proven all that is visisble is ALL energy vibrating and different frequencies harmonically. This is the Truth.
yeah read a book on quantum mechanics, very scary. a partical is only a wave of energy untill veiwed by a conceous mind then it forms a partical. they can make particles go back and forth in time, and have seen the same particle in two places at the same time. physicians are starting to ask the question, is everything created by conceousness and a lot of other scary shit i wont go into cause i'll be here all day.
its called quantum mechanics related to god or reality, i cnt remember but you could watch the dvd what the bleep do we know or the extended dvd called down the rabbit hole.
No, don't watch those, they're funded by weirdos and don't represent the science they purport to describe. Fritjof Kapra's book "The Tao of Physics" is a nice comparison between western science and eastern philosophy.
i sort of hear you, i dnt realy believe in big popularly advertised docs or books because i think alot of info is corrupted with bullshit. is that book about conciousness related to physics?
Fritjof Capra's book is about eastern philosophical systems and their relation to with scientific fields like quantum physics.
I was pleasantly surprised at how calm it was, and Capra has a research background in particle physics and complex systems; in contrast, What The Bleep was made by people who seem to be at least close to some quite strange new-age religious cult. I'd be happier to trust Capra's writing than their film.
The Bleep cult: one of the talking heads in the film claims to channel a 35000 year old Atlantian warrior called Ramtha. Californians have still evidently got a lot of money to spend on rubbish ;)
Eidolon says "Our ultimate mission is knowledge, and once we have acquired it all, there will be no more use for subjectivity nor individuality". But this statement contains a misunderstanding about the nature of infinity. Because given all of the knowledge in the universe, which includes knowledge about how to perform irreducable computation given unique inputs, we can always compute a bigger infinity. Thus no matter how much we gather, it is always possible to create more.
@fezdetritus: Hey, this is FF. Man, I love your comment. I've been thinking about this all day myself, and what you said calms me down somewhat... there's just way too much stuff in the universe to know, not counting whatever new stuff we/they make, so this endgame-when-all-is-known scenario has to be improbable despite (or maybe because!) whatever god-like powers the Singularity gains... there's just too much to know. I'll ask Eidolon tomorrow. You made a good good point :)
Speaking of the Endgame, what of the fact that all knowledge is expanding, and thus it is impossible to 'know all' because the definition of 'all' is a moving target.
Because experience continues (not necessarily human experience, but universal happenings in general), and the Universe moves forward through time, the body of knowledge of 'all that is' grows at a rate which would be difficult to keep up with.
The thing that is so wonderful about the universe is that there is room for everyone's subjective opinions, while at the same time perceiving that there is a deep unifying force (the laws of the universe, or God, or whatever) that we can feel in our subjective experience but never possess because it is larger than us.
You think so? I would be more inclined to believe that as we approach infinity, "new knowledge" would be less and less. Ask any patent examiner how many novel ideas they see per year (out of the hundreds of cases they examine) as compared to the last 200 years. Sure there are a record number of patent applications out there, but 99.9% are nothing more than "computer with a stick taped to it"...it might not be already patented, but is it really a new idea? Knowledge has limits eventually.
@ice007man Interesting point. However, if you think about it, the more "knowledge quanta" you have, the more possible combinations of those you can try in order to derive new ideas.
If you're interested in learning more, read up on Georg Cantor. I recommend "Infinity and the Mind", nonfiction by Rudy Rucker, or "White Light", fiction also by Rudy Rucker.
@eidolonTLP woho! All is known all the time. right now is the singular transaction for this point in the infinite spectrum. We are creating as we move into the future. end game to start again. only ever to start again. =D
Here is a concrete example. Eidolon's message reveals a goal which seems to point to pure entropy, pure undifferentiated energy spread evenly through the universe. If one projects one's sense of self into this theoretical future, one can feel fear because it means the end of oneself.
It is possible to hold this goal and strive towards it without fear by understanding that it is impossible. Why? Computational irreducability. No matter how long we calculate pi, we can continue to do so.
I think there is an important but subtle distinction that needs to be made: It is possible to have a goal, and for sentients who strive towards that goal to experience material, positive effects, while at the same time the goal is in fact impossible to reach.
This is a paradox, and holding the awareness that both sides of the paradox are true helps us to break free of restrictive thought patterns. We are bound by our tendency to desire the knowledge that something will end.
@kidgill2000 It's an inside joke. Basically any question relating to human affairs on planet earth can be answered with "A sufficiently large solar flare".
Example: What will stop the governments of the world from continuously waging wars against each other forever?
Answer: A sufficiently large solar flare.
Since all life on earth would be destroyed by a sufficiently large solar flare, it's probably one of the most useful answers out there.

"Buddhism too unduly burdens the shoulders of its followers with heavy loads of mythology and the supernatural, which are completely unnecessary"
it is not unnecessary for many people... these stories are designed as tools to wake the practitioner out of maya. furthermore, in some senses of the word, gods, demons, etc. are quite literally real.

Consciousness is the singularity, the zero point, the observer. All of existence is entirely made up by this consciousness and everything that was, is, and will be all exists everywhere at all times, even though there is really no location or time, only experience. We are the singularity and as long as we exist and are self aware, there will always be creation of new things, new lives, new worlds, new mysteries to solve, new rules to play by. Like a circle, no beginning and no ending.

Nirvana is not a place you go to except inside yourself.
Nirvana is a mind that has returned home and is at the behest of the owner.
The opposite Samsara, is a mind that wanders around and leaves the physical here and now of it's owner, here the owner thinks they are their mind.
Nirvana the owner runs their mind, samsara the owner IS run by their mind.

And certainly not this cool dude called "eidolon TLP". This is just a very very small approach and point of view, nothing else. But this is cool anyway ;)))

a lot of people have a misconception of what nibbana (nirvana) means. in theravada its considered essential to reach enlightenment, since it is the personal experience which enlightens. the buddha's disciple's upon becoming enlightened would often say "all that arises must be cessated". nibbana among other things means cessation. one becomes enlightened to the nature of conditioned things (everything physical and mental) by realizing the unconditioned state, i.e. nibbana.

The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity.

The ultimate goal of Buddhism is to achieve Nirvana. All of these views are different. I don't think they resemble each other at all.

When the body dies, or isn't in need of that energy of consiouness ,the same energy can flow out of the body and go into whatever it, or you, desire. We don't need to know it in science as we can experience it what we call spirituality.

Fritjof Capra's book is about eastern philosophical systems and their relation to with scientific fields like quantum physics.
I was pleasantly surprised at how calm it was, and Capra has a research background in particle physics and complex systems; in contrast, What The Bleep was made by people who seem to be at least close to some quite strange new-age religious cult. I'd be happier to trust Capra's writing than their film.

Eidolon says "Our ultimate mission is knowledge, and once we have acquired it all, there will be no more use for subjectivity nor individuality". But this statement contains a misunderstanding about the nature of infinity. Because given all of the knowledge in the universe, which includes knowledge about how to perform irreducable computation given unique inputs, we can always compute a bigger infinity. Thus no matter how much we gather, it is always possible to create more.
fezdetritus 4 years ago
@fezdetritus: Hey, this is FF. Man, I love your comment. I've been thinking about this all day myself, and what you said calms me down somewhat... there's just way too much stuff in the universe to know, not counting whatever new stuff we/they make, so this endgame-when-all-is-known scenario has to be improbable despite (or maybe because!) whatever god-like powers the Singularity gains... there's just too much to know. I'll ask Eidolon tomorrow. You made a good good point :)
eidolonTLP 4 years ago
Speaking of the Endgame, what of the fact that all knowledge is expanding, and thus it is impossible to 'know all' because the definition of 'all' is a moving target.
Because experience continues (not necessarily human experience, but universal happenings in general), and the Universe moves forward through time, the body of knowledge of 'all that is' grows at a rate which would be difficult to keep up with.

The thing that is so wonderful about the universe is that there is room for everyone's subjective opinions, while at the same time perceiving that there is a deep unifying force (the laws of the universe, or God, or whatever) that we can feel in our subjective experience but never possess because it is larger than us.
fezdetritus 4 years ago
You think so? I would be more inclined to believe that as we approach infinity, "new knowledge" would be less and less. Ask any patent examiner how many novel ideas they see per year (out of the hundreds of cases they examine) as compared to the last 200 years. Sure there are a record number of patent applications out there, but 99.9% are nothing more than "computer with a stick taped to it"...it might not be already patented, but is it really a new idea? Knowledge has limits eventually.

@ice007man Interesting point. However, if you think about it, the more "knowledge quanta" you have, the more possible combinations of those you can try in order to derive new ideas.

Here is a concrete example. Eidolon's message reveals a goal which seems to point to pure entropy, pure undifferentiated energy spread evenly through the universe. If one projects one's sense of self into this theoretical future, one can feel fear because it means the end of oneself.
It is possible to hold this goal and strive towards it without fear by understanding that it is impossible. Why? Computational irreducability. No matter how long we calculate pi, we can continue to do so.
fezdetritus 4 years ago
I think there is an important but subtle distinction that needs to be made: It is possible to have a goal, and for sentients who strive towards that goal to experience material, positive effects, while at the same time the goal is in fact impossible to reach.
This is a paradox, and holding the awareness that both sides of the paradox are true helps us to break free of restrictive thought patterns. We are bound by our tendency to desire the knowledge that something will end.
