Thank you so much for your post Dr. Satanical. You’ve raised wonderful questions… you wrote:
Of course, you know just as well as I do, this is by my standard. But, considering the moral nature of Christ, and the progressive attempts at obtaining to some type of moral ideology for man in this world, it appears that Christ has in some if not all ways attained to a wonderful example of morality to follow.
If man is attempting to attain to some higher moral nature, or prescribe some type of moral guideline, and Jesus was an extremely moral being, so far as we know of course, then why wouldnt he be the or one of the epitome(s) of how we should be? What are your thoughts?
lol. Once again, me of course. But considering the ephemeral nature of the physical, how everything physical comes and goes, should it be considered worthless in the sense that it doesnt matter? I mean really consider this, everything you had in your life that you no longer do, no matter how much joy or pain it brought you, you dont have it any more. It doesnt bring you any more joy, it doesnt bring you any more pain. All you have is a memory, and that’s less real than the “real” thing you had. Since its no longer here, and the memories you hold on to of it arent real and can only match up to what you did perceive as “real”, was it really that important or special? If you cant continue to hold on to it for all time, is it really something worth attempting to hold on to, considering its impossible for it to be held on to? When I say worth, this is what I am referring to. It has no worth as something that should be held on to. Why? Because it cant be.
Ah come on. Youve read enough of my post to know I atleast portray myself to be better than that. Your incorrect in the translation. Basically I am saying this… if you dont wish to accept that there is an eternal component to your existence, beyond the physical; then you will never attain to this existence, and will remain in the physical, full of its fleeting illusory experiences of pain and joy.
It appears you’d rather not attempt something beyond the physical, and therefore will only rise to the level of the physical. You can only live up to your perceived potential. But instead, why not at least ponder something beyond it? Something eternal that can never die. I mean you see everyday that the things in front of you die, and you see everyday that new things come into existence. Doesnt this never-ending process imply a never-ending source? If you are a part of this never-ending process arent you a part of this never-ending source? Realize it, and go beyond the process, and grow closer to the source, never-ending. Thats the translation, intent and all.
Ill admit, it is kind of humorous, but I honestly believe it to be true. All of us have hurt, and I suppose what you havent understood is that you live in a fantasy world as well. I wonder what you feel makes yours better than mine? I dont feel my world is better, I simply feel it makes for a better existence, a happier life that amazingly makes all that hurt and pain go away. And on the contrary, instead of being in denial and covering up any issues, I dig deep within myself, and attempt to make conscious all of my issues so that I can eradicate and change them. Im consciously doing this in my world, how about you? If not, then who is covering up? You dont have to live life accepting who you are, in fact this is the worse thing you can do. Instead, become fully aware of who you are, and in turn, if you dont like something change it. Makes a lot more sense to me. Of course, thats just me right.
Oh most definetely, this should be apparent by my last comment.
Im not against you, I only attempt to assist you in seeing the beauty that I see. Enlightenment isnt fake, it happens to us all the time. We grow, we learn, and we expand our consciousness. We have to continue to grow, or we just get stuck in the same self-defeating ways, and then what good are you as a person? Unless your stuck in positivism, you only contribute to the pain and suffering, misunderstanding and misfortune for all human beings. I would have to say, though apparently harsh, but with much love all the same, do something better with yourself!
