Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: enlightenment has occurred

You aren't disagreeing just with Robin, but with all of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, for which the notion of ontological union with God is blatantly heretical. You're entitled to your opinion that they're all wrong about that. << Judy, this "general impossibility" is where I disagree

I'm chuckling at Barry's posturing again because I just happened to look at my post to Seraphita again, and realized that I'd made my comment about Robin having been near suicide down in the second paragraph, well below the "first few 'Message View' words" of the post. Obviously Barry does care

Re: [FairfieldLife] for your heart, drink water before going to sleep

Mike, they say that coconut water is very hydrating and higher in potassium than bananas. I drink a cup every evening before dinner. Plus it's yummy! On Tuesday, February 11, 2014 9:07 AM, Mike Dixon wrote:   I need to drink more water. I usually have pleasant watery-like dreams when I'm

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: enlightenment has occurred

Judy, this "general impossibility" is where I disagree with Robin. As I say in the rest of my post. I think, based on my reading of what people have written, I think ontological union with God or life has occurred in some individuals. I realized this morning that in the context of this discussi

[FairfieldLife] RE: enlightenment has occurred

Robin was talking about the enlightenment Maharishi describes. Don't know what he'd say about other types of "very, very high states of human development," except for the general impossibility of ontological union with God (per the doctrines of the Judeo-Christian religions). << I think enlig

[FairfieldLife] enlightenment has occurred

I think enlightenment, or a very, very high state of human development, and without delusion or possession, has occurred in Native Americans, shamans, tantrics, Taoists, Buddhists, Sufis, Christians, Jews and atheists. I think it included "ontological union" with what some people call God, but

[FairfieldLife] Re: TV's "The Following" as a treatise on NPD and psychopathy

Oh, too bad, then you missed my catch of the huge blooper you made concerning Robin having been "near suicide." Not to mention the others I identified. And sorry to tell you, I don't put the same value on "original posts" that you do. I'm much more interested in interaction than showing off.
