The answer as to whether God exists is an EXPERIENCE, and that experience brings about understanding of God.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 12:24 pmI give up. No idea what all this nonsense about being "thought free", "stopping thoughts" or "investigating space between thoughts" means (or how answers about God's existence or otherwise can be deduced from the alleged practice). As far as I'm aware, no one is "thought free" unless they're sitting in the morgue waiting to be either buried or cremated.roydop wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 4:14 pmSo you can't be thought fee and therefore it's gibberish? Actually sit in a chair and try to stop your thoughts and witness what happens. Is this not scientific in basis?Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 9:51 am
Thought is not spacial. You can't investigate "space" "between" thoughts. This is dishonest gibberish made to sound deep and thought provoking when it makes absolutely no coherent sense at all.
How do I know you can't stop your mind from chruning out thoughts? How can you not see how important this is? Objectivity.
Just witness thought. Then you will be SEEing it instead of thinking about it.
I speak of God not from a strictly intellectual perspective, but from first-hand accounts.
~80 % of my interior dialoge has ceased and my life is peaceful and free of stress.
Please, if you are serious about this God stuff you must get past trying to understand it conceptually. Thought is what actually keeps one from the experience of God.
No matter how difficult, one must transcend thought to realize one's divinity.
