You could start by actually reading the posts on the board.....Might be a good idea pal...

Eh don't be such a Forum Xenophobe. Definition of a Forum Xenophobe ---> http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/xenophobe.htm


To NEIMAD222, welcome to AP . Yes, I agree that the paradigm shift will be a tough process for humanity. Most of us are still trying to unchain ourselves from old newtonian classical physics. The more open-minded we are about quantum mechanics and the supernatural role we as human beings play in this universe, the faster this global paradigm shift may proceed.

Hint: the key to effective meditation is focusing on the breathe (prana), and by doing so, you shall establish good rhythm. Let go of any invasive thoughts; acknowledge their existence but dismiss them as such. You'll get better with practice, as with anything else in life. Also don't be afraid to meditate just because you had one bad experience trying it. People face their fears all the time so that they can conquer them. Fears are like challenges. Face those fears, and soon those fears will fear you.

I'm sorry that it is people like me, those who do not believe in a 'god' as most would think of one, cause all the suffering in the world.
I do believe in a "god" but it is obviously not the christian perception of god. That notion is ridiculous.

Tell me please, how do you know there is but one? or do you think there are more.

I'm not the kind of person who bases their beliefs on nothing, and I'm sorry if you think we people cause all the suffering in the world. With out 'attitude'.

But until I get some message, I'm not going to start believing in your god just because you think I should.

Not saying you should believe in whomever.....Just saying, that this "Higher Being" might not necessarily come in one form or in a form in which you might expect.  Since you look for evidence in order to respect such a concept of a "Higher Being", then sometimes the answer or answers might not come as scientific data.

Also,  I'm also not a christian.  . We're probably more a like than you think. Because just like you, I'm also an agnostic, although I try to keep an open-mind at all times. Forgive me as well for accusing you for being part of that category that causes the majority of the conflicts in the world. I didn't intend to post my earlier point in that manner. Perhaps it was a bit harsh.

Would that mean then that you don't respect your own potential future and all the possible success it may have in store for you, since the "future" will always be unknown and cannot show itself directly to you and to the concept of "now"? It's like you are saying that you jump to negative conclusions of things that haven't familiarized themselves to you yet.

Are you the kind of person to only show respect to people whom you know, but not to strangers whom you have never met before? Now isn't that quite a condescending attitude towards other people in general since most of the human population consists of individuals that you've never met or never will meet in a very long time.

Your view is a materialist view and because of this materialist type of attitude,  the world is suffering from religious wars. These wars are caused by the conflicting societies that are intolerant of differing beliefs and unfamiliar faiths. Intolerant societies jump to negative conclusions about things they don't understand and things that don't seem to "show themselves" in a familiar manner.

You think that this "Higher Being" or "He" or "She" or "It" or "WTF any of us wish to call it" will show his/her/itself to you in a comprehensible manner such as "proof" or "evidence" and in turn and only then that you will show mutual respect.  HOWEVER, how would you really know in which form this "higher being" will present itself to you? Haven't you even thought of the possibility that whoever this "Higher Being" is can take on forms that are purposely made to present puzzles and obstacles in your life? Haven't you heard of the notion that adversity can help an individual grow and gain inner strength?

Those are things in which every human being and life-form have in common, and that is, we all have our own obstacles that are tests in our lives. These tests are designed to strengthen our character as well as self-respect. It is only through respecting and acknowledging those unknown factors in our personal lives that help us expand our tolerance and open-mindedness towards others.

Not everything can be proven with "Scientific" data but "Scientific" data is not necessarily the form in which such a "Higher Being" chooses to show itself to you. Perhaps this "Higher Being" addresses each individual through the most personal aspects in his or her own  life since those aspects define the most serious characteristics of that person.

"What's your passion, what's your desire, your goals, your ideals, who are the most important people in your life?"....those are the questions that each individual needs to explore within themselves. Think of it as like a return to innocence so to speak whilst finding the inner person of oneself. I believe this is where the concept of a "Higher Being" communicates to us, at least conceptually speaking.  

We may never know the answer, but sometimes the answer isn't what we're supposed to look for, because every answer to every person could very well be different. We all have different tastes correct? That's what makes us unique and similar at the same time. We all struggle and we all have different opinions to things, but it is in our uniqeness that makes us all special in someway. That's greatness of free will.
