Ah, I see you are trying to get deepsight not to whargabl and woo-woo with nonsensical word salads

PastorAIO:
Oga, I didn't ask you the quality of the question, whether it was a good question or not, neither did I ask you if you'd asked the question before.

I asked in direct response to your claim that just as a car carries a person so does a body carry a person.

Your other vague wishy washy notion of being lightly attached to some wishy washy thing such as mind or soul or whatever does not tally with your definite statement that

"A car carries a person in the same way as a body carries a person."



A person in a car is not 'lightly attached' to the car.

plaetton:
Ok then.
From a historical perspective, kindly elaborate on the differences between the two.

plaetton:
History is on my side.

My opinion is that the fact that spirituality has no standard upon which it can be measured, makes it superfluous and redundant to an evolving humanity.

chieveboy:
Actually the Pineal Gland or the 'Spiritual eye' aka Tisra til is 'refered' to as the Seat of Soul. It is a spot between and a little above the two eyebrows.

If you do an MRI for someone purportedly having their 'spiritual eye' open, you find extra-ordinary brain activity than the average person. Like Einstein.

This is cos some parts of the body literally corresponds to 'power houses' of Soul. Develop the seat of soul and some will call you an Angel.

PastorAIO:
A car carries a person either in the drivers' seat or one of the passenger seats, or if you like in the boot.

Which part of the human body carries a person?

@OP. Spirituality is the unfolding of our real self, the living essence in us. Such unfolding leads to self realization and a recognition of who we are, our place in the cosmos and out inter-connectedness with all that exists. Buried in our essence is the unimaginable talent to love without reservation. Spirituality permits this love to unfold, transform it from a talent into ability and then overwhelms us and our near and far environments. This love links us to the invisible power that pulsates in the Universe, the last condensations of this power, you plataeo normally refer to as energies. In the course of this spiritual evolution, the individual will at some point come to the recognition of the source of the power that pulsates in the Universe. Now, giving and receiving love is the basis of spirituality and without it, their is no life, no motion and all is dead. Connection with the vibration of Love (conscious or unconscious to the human brain) is the source and driver of all lasting progress. There is no person that has not at one time or another experienced genuine love. In those moments, your are linked with the the living power that created and maintains all creations and at that moment you can tap into this power and exposed to "infinite" possibilities of progress in all spheres, from simple things as a spontaneous charming smile to your neighbor to the most astonishing scientific invention. The so called Eureka moments on which many scientific inventions spring from, I will argue are not because the inventor has become creative, rather he/she spontaneously tapped from the power of "LOVE". Genuine love is an inherent manifestation of true spirituality. Where there is no love, their is no life, no progress, no motion but a dead, motionless mass of creatures and creations. Stay blessed.

PastorAIO:
Look at a car. Look am well well. Now tell me. Do you know the car at once? How fast can it move? What is the mileage on it? What is the boot's capacity? How smooth is the steering wheel?

What? You can't tell these things just by looking at the car at first glance? Is it not therefore obvious and ineluctable and evident ..( and all other such grammar and jedijedi vocabulary you like to throw in at this point) that the car is in fact invisible.

Other species on other planets?

The argument of a first cause has been used a lot by theologians but modern science has shown that we can have reactions without actions especially in the quantum world where classical mechanics break down.

ValentineMary:
[i] Writing in italics is my style and I like it that way.

ValentineMary:
There were somethings in science that were once thought impossible to deduce eg the amount of Dark matter but by ingenuous methods we have actually unlocked those. By using already laid down procedures by our predecessors.
Now in the field of religion is there no way we can deducd the existence of this watchman people so claim with analytical method as laid down by predecessors ?

ValentineMary:
Actually ancestral knowledge is an evolutionary trait. And not some code.

plaetton:
There is no creative factor in reality.

Reality is a long series of cosmic accidents, a long endless series of cosmic lotteries.
That's why it took 4.7 billion years Of SIMULTANEOUS and dynamic cosmic lotteries to evolve this current reality to where it is.

That's why we live our short lives and disappear back to nothingness , as just constituent particles in the ever dynamic cosmic cycle.

JackBizzle:
And how would you know that? How would you know that something is outside (transcends) your reality? Isn't that an oxymoron?

How could you possibly know what is outside your reality?

Please, no insults- just answer my question.

ValentineMary:
Science has actually done a great job in giving ans to that. It's called ancestral knowledge. That's the same reason birds can build nest.

KingEbukasBlog:
What's your opinion on Pantheism sir ?

byteHead:
Instincts are programmed in animals through evolution and natural selection. That's how living things adapt to their environments.  Then the best adaptations get passed on to their off-spring.





I am speaking of domestic cats. They are born with a hunting and chasing instinct. But they are not necessarily born hunters that kill for food. Killing and eating prey are behaviors which they learn from the mother cat.A cat can be a skillful mouse killer and yet never eat a single mouse or even desire to eat one.

JackBizzle:



Why, so that you can blow big grammar with him? Big grammar that ends up being meaningless?

byteHead:
These behaviors are called innate or instincts.
An innate behavior is any behavior that occurs naturally in all animals of a given species.

It is a hard-wired, inborn behavior that enables a human or animal to cope with its environment.
Eg Cats are natural-born hunters. They don’t need to learn how to hunt. Spiders spin their complex webs without learning how to do it from other spiders.

ValentineMary:
Over the years theist and atheist have argued about the possibility of us having a conscious watchman who looks over every of our activities. So this thread is for us to discuss how logical it is for us to claim to have a watchman. Pls only matured comments.

Sane Nigerians are behind the arrest of judges

Invade the home of looters, break their doors and safes with sledge hammers, brutalize them with your DSS

patriotic9jaboy:
Wike is indeed lucky to be alive. Obstructing an order of arrest from the federal government all because he has skeleton in his closet is suicidal. If the Dss operatives had pulled their trigger on him that day, it would be termed as accidental discharge and at worst his deputy would be sworn in as governor if he dies. No sane person will dare the federal might of any country. The police commissioner he took a long with him answers directly to the IG who is an appointee of the federal government. Just like GEJ withdrew Amaechi's security detail, Buhari can order the same for wike and heaven will not fall. Power pass power. When they loot and steal billions they all forget human rights of affected citizens and rules of law. When it's time for prosecution, they will start screaming rule of law and due process and the same nigerians who are shortchanged will be supporting the political thieves.

Sane Nigerians are behind the arrest of judges and other corrupt members of the political class. Some call buhari a dictator but if dictatorship is what is required to sanitize the system you have the support of patriotic Nigerians. Invade the home of looters, break their doors and safes with sledge hammers, brutalize them with your DSS and make them pay for short changing the state. We must sanitize the country for the upcoming generations

sukkot:
should you continue ? lawd ave mercy did he just say ' should i continue ' ? you aint even started yet bro lolzzz. we aint dealing with a 30 year old case. the statute of limitation is over on that case. give me something fresh chief. and something that will move me

Geist:
Sir, I'm not sure how any reasonable economic development can be made in a state that has always suffered from political corruption and abuse of office. But that's by the way. I only wanted to know if you would have voted for GEJ instead of buhari( I respect your opinion on many things on this forum). Also there's no saying if Fela wouldn't have been more critical of the Jonathan administration than he was of the buhari administration.

The searchlight should be beamed on the Judiciary, if we really want to have a holistic fight against corruption.

Ok sir , no problem .

But have you ever considered , "what if I was wrong about deism and the divinity of Christ " ?
