this is what the buddha taught about 2500 years back.

[spugglemuck]

yes. the wisdom is universal. repeatedly rediscovered, then forgotten again.

[MrBoagie]

"The self in one, is the self in all." Upanishads I think in Yoga the idea is to reach a state of undifferentiated consciousness is it not?

[spugglemuck]

Yes, And... Undifferentiated consciousness alone would be nothing. But to know the undifferentiated (unconditioned) consciousness that is behind all experience, along with differentiated consc. That is recurring theme of many traditions.

Who/What am I? I purchased the DVD of this video used off Amazon*com and watched it last night. I can only say that the 3 minute snapshot presented here hardly does it justice. Peter presents the data on a down-to-earth manner and explores the deep essence of what we truly are. By the end of the video I was elated I had picked it up and want to share it with everyone I know. It puts together exactly how I view reality and what it means to be conscious. I intend to explore more of Peter's work.

@DeistDreamer We do it because the greatest wisdom of all is to know that you know nothing. A sense of awe comes about when we can grasp that there is much more to life then who we thought we were. Most of what is taught in the world today is surface reality, never deep enough to be something spiritual and so we remain unaware of our true power until we can glimpse ourselves letting go of that part of ourselves. Evolution of consciousness has only begin, soon we may be on a whole new level.

How can the atheists delude themselve and believe that hydrogen and oxygen, electrons and protons, should first produce themselves, then be the source for all other beings, and finally decree the laws that regulate themselves and the rest of the material world?

[spugglemuck]

@DeistDreamer Realizing that you are not the illusion you thought were is not nihilisitc. it brings a sense of relief and ease. You are that much freer to enjoy life, rather than worrying about maintaining or defending your derived sense of self.

Check out the following video entitled: Fé Ciência Glauben Wissenschaft Faith Science Esmeralda Campelo Antônio Peters. With enlightening arguments and facts, speaks Pastor Antonio Peters in an interview about his book entitled “Alpha and Omega“ (English subtitels)

“The book Alpha and Omega is not based on science to explain the Bible, it is based on the Bible and uses science as a keyhole to say: "Look, the Bible already tells us this and goes even further! (Pastor Antônio, 2010)"

[BiggerThinking1]

His final statement that "the great frontier is inner space not outer space" is limted thinking - most likely, just as the Grand Unification Theory needs to merge the infinitesimally small and infinitely large, so too will a "Grand Theory of Consciousness" need to account for all scales and dimensions.

[robomanus]

if we are just an illusion and imagination of ourselves, why won't we just kill ourselves?

[MONSQUEEKY]

Cleverness without wisdom is the most destructive force on earth

[MONSQUEEKY]

@spugglemuck The knowledge is not "forgotten" it's being supressed, so we could be turned into a bunch of robotic mindless consumer drones of an opressive dictatorial global technocracy.

part II

when all the people of the world realize this truth and are able to work with it, they will be able to manipulate the world around them. This is how the pyramids where made (in my opinion). After we know concoiusness or god (if you like to call it that) we will disolve in truth and our quest will be fulfilled, what happens after that? I don't know, maybe it start all over again who knows.
