I remember a great Eastern yogi saying to us some time ago, " to find God, you have to go beyond religion and observe." Religion is really like a finger or signpost directing us along the way. For some it's just not necessary.

bodleing2: It could be called a religion in Western terms, but, without having a deity, it's more of a philosophy. Actually it's more in line with quantum physics. Google buddhism and quantum physics, you might be surprised at what you find.

Kaybee50: Oh my goodness Snooks. Bod is one of the most genuine kindest persons on this site. So his ideas don't align with yours. You can still show people respect and consideration, even when their views are different than yours.
Strange that Ur telling Me this.....shouldn't U be telling Him.....
bodleing2: I'm not trying to convince anyone. It's up to ourselves to do our own searching.
That's a very modern idea not likely to catch on..People want easy answers provided to them on the basis of faith, the rise of Trump, Putin, Erdogan and Modi etc all amount to this fact and most of the music manufactured since the 1980s tells you this same thing. People don't live up to individualism, it's imploding.
Why would I suppress my emotions?! Good or bad, they are natural reaction to the outside world...affecting my inner one... I might not give you a punch in the face for making me angry but will well let you know about how I feel...

It's ok Kaybee, I don't take the comments personally, in fact I look on snooks as a great friend and I'm endebted to her for giving me the opportunity to practice patience, tolerance and understanding.

Indeed...."I want it all, I want it now."
To uncover the true mysteries of life, can in fact take a lifetime, and that's even for those who can be bothered, or have the inclination to search.

pKrema: It takes two to do that, one willing to speak and one interested to listen...
Very true and don't forget the "understand", that part is generally very missing...as they have no cookin clue what ur talking about and just homour u, that is where judging emotions come very handy...and u just stop mid sentence.....
