I'd say it's a pretty good position. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote :
My position, and the position of most idealistic transcendentalists, is that we infer, based on the fact of being conscious, that consciousness itself is the ultimate reality. Without consciousness, we would not exist. And, I accept that inference is a valid means of knowledge. Thoughts and ideas, not being material objects, cannot be perceived; they can only be inferred. Consciousness is the ultimate reality - without it people would not be conscious - there would be no perception. This is a dirt simple fact of life requiring no further proof. No rational person would claim that they don't exist, unless they were insane or demented - it's just not rational. We are conscious of ourselves enough to know that we exist and are self-conscious. So, we all have a constructed character of knowing that is self-consciousness itself: the inherent DNA in the human bio-computer. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : Information is important in reality and in virtual reality.

The proof of this is the jyotish technique called Brighu Saral Paddhati which essentially shows the programming of our lives based on the planets in the jyotish chart.

Those who don't meditate IMO don't have a method to ease the pain of karma, or transcend karma altogether. IOW, it is a scientific fact that light functions as a wave and a particle. But knowledge tells us that light is both. It would be false to say that light functions as one or the other. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : I'm not a believer at all in free will. Most research is leaning towards that it doesn't exist. But enjoy the show anyway and if you do you were "predestined" to. I think that we are all just playing out our parts in a great script that if really just based on a mathematical formula (or what would be one if math folks discovered it). What happens if you meditate you come more into alignment with that force and you will be less disturbed by it. So stopping meditating won't change anything either except maybe the way you feel.
