Not for me. Does the recognition of dynamic and flowing energy have to be personified?

Well at least you get a gold star just for knowing how to spell the word 'foetus' (sporadically).

There used to be a sculptor on the forum and in some ways you sound like him, in other ways you do not.
Because life is the measure, the purpose, and the meaning of existence then opposing life is insane although necessary* as proven by the fact of its existence. Therefore by this criterion and in the context of topic, abortion advocates are insane.
* as a result of causation
You misquoted, which means you’re either careless with your thoughts or devious, however a natural attraction to intellectually frustrated thread saboteurs would indicate the former is required for the latter.
Life is the purpose of existence, as originally stated, then subsequently misquoted.
The proof that the purpose of existence is life is the existence of life, which can only be proven to life by life. Death is the proof that death exists, however what dies? Life cannot die, that’s an oxymoron. The body dies, which raises the existential question answered by Sri Ramana Maharshi, are you exclusively this body that eventually dies?
Implication? Rocks and stars and such which are not alive, but also as much a part of the universe as humankind, have existence, have no life, and therefore have no inherent purpose although a human has the capacity to infer causation that feeds the inherent compulsion to make everything fit.
This is why an existing foetus certainly has an inherent purpose, the inherency made more obvious since the lil’ fetus person can’t yet delusionally report the news. That inherent purpose is to fulfill its stage of human development (life), which requires no thought, and naturally leads to the next stage of human development, and so on.

Silly to leave because of disagreements. There wouldn't be much point to it if everyone agreed with each other. At least there's the minuscule hope that one day the religiotards like IC will see the light and let go of daddy's apron strings.

Ah, you have to be anally rigid and play games, rather than acknowledging the spirit of what's being communicated. Whatever it takes to bolster your beliefs, right?

Where is your proof that life has a purpose what what is it?
Re: Does a pregnant woman carry a human being/person or just 'life'/meat?
I simply looked up the definition of spirit which indicates the answer to your question up there is affirmatory. Don't get your feathers ruffled.
Drag someone else into paradigms that require belief.
Re: Does a pregnant woman carry a human being/person or just 'life'/meat?
No it doesn't. Aren't you aware that you can't define everything (especially the undefinable) with one word? I provided a broader description/context than you want to consider because, as I said, you are zeroing in on some anal interpretation that suits you.
Re: Does a pregnant woman carry a human being/person or just 'life'/meat?
Sure it does. Person is required to define spirit. Person is the root of personified. Voilà. Without form, spirit cannot be. If you suspect a disembodied spirit is afoot, then you just can't perceive its form. The causes of that are various, such as the limitations of the ascertaining kosha.

So here's what I said: "Whatever the amazing soul/spirit energy is that flows throughout and animates all... it does not have to be tied to a particular physical form."Walker wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 3:49 am Sure it does.

You asked if that's a code for God. So do you perceive God as a person? According to your fixation on the word "spirit" and the rigid definition you are insisting on (as you ignore all else that has been said), it would appear that you DO perceive God as a person.
Whereas I indicated that I was speaking of a dynamic and flowing energy. Nothing to be personified. So why don't you take your dictionary and...

It does have to be tied to a particular physical form in order to exist. You said it doesn't, but your saying is based on belief.

When you write about the divine, are you writing about God?Lacewing wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 9:14 pm So when such energy manifests through a human form, it seems melodramatic to apply such ego-centered, small-minded laws to it. Why not equally respect ALL that spirit flows through? Why not see ALL as divine in that way? And why not recognize that the divine isn't limited by human laws?
