Questioning wastes time , although improves the mind in which the spiritual growth takes place, until you realise that. We only live for as long as we can enjoy.
We can enjoy every moment of it.
Our mind is a very physical being , our soul can be considered as life or existence beyond life.
I've nearly died and reached a state that only my core brain and vertebra is functioning and only retained the happiest moments of my life. (If this was the case , I could only see the past of my life.)
Strange enough beyond that I've even seen some aspects of the future i've never seen , although the body is not dead , the spirit had travelled beyond time.
If on the sick bed I can wake up with faded memories of what I've seen was the future. Then it probably meant I had travelled in spirit thru time and back. I regret never bring back 4D or ToTo numbers although I could , but the moment I woke up I forgot about the whole thing gradually. It's as if I had taken a travelling memory my brain cannot accomodate.
Why I'm so sure . Coz I've seen what was taught to me during that near death incident happened right in front of my eyes. An Entire life i was to take and the choices I could make that could change the course of my life. -
Simply understand that God is not what we can comprehend.Originally posted by simplified:hi

There is God as if there is a Soul in you.
If you accept that you do not question your soul's existence , then you do not question God's Existance coz not even our soul can be compared to God. -
It is ok lah... how you expect to progress with this type of attitude amazing. You call yourself a Buddhist but do not even follow Buddha's teachingOriginally posted by longchen:Hi Thusness,
Thanks for the sharing. It is most interesting.
Hi Casino King,
Your level of delusion has reached comical proportion.
Thanks for the entertainment.

WOW, that is random!Originally posted by casino_king:You call yourself a Buddhist but do not even follow Buddha's teaching -
Interesting.. so you had a near death experience? I always had a interest in near death experience cases as it is very close to the bardo state described in tibetan book of the dead.. the consciousness at this level gets subtleOriginally posted by NotFromVenus:Questioning wastes time , although improves the mind in which the spiritual growth takes place, until you realise that.

He does not sat why he thinks people are delusional... see that is not helpful, he does not learn anything by that. What did Buddha teach? That his disciples should not take Buddhist teachings dogmatically but learn!Originally posted by An Eternal Now:WOW, that is random!
This is typical of people with little understanding, when they do not understand, instead of making an effort, they condemn. -
What is the Bardo State ??Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Interesting.. so you had a near death experience? I always had a interest in near death experience cases as it is very close to the bardo state described in tibetan book of the dead.. the consciousness at this level gets subtle

Where did the intelligence to stop gambling come from? If you say that it is from God, then you cannot say that God resides in you but the intellience that comes from God resides in you.Originally posted by simplified:hi

Where did your compassion come from? If you say that it is from God, then you cannot say that God resides in you but the compassion that comes from God resides in you.
ok one step at a time... -
You can do a google search..Originally posted by NotFromVenus:What is the Bardo State ??

Actually there are many cases of near death experiences. Out of body experiences etc. Some also recalled exact details of life experiences within that moment.
There was one moment I thought that I actually had died and I felt that I had a long fall. I initially thought that I am heading to hell, sadly. (But actually I just fainted on where I stood just at ground level). First indication of time is abstract.
Also from Ajahn Brahn talk, near death experiences some saw God, some saw Guan Yin and for some their respectively faith leaders. Each was very sure about what they saw and very convinced. But according to Him, it is really the works of the mind.
Ajahn Brahm has quite a records about this. I believe there is also a CD on "What Happen After Death". -
Some people's understanding of God (but I shall not name who.. he knows cos i messaged him)... is that God is the life in him, the living, the everything of him that he is now... the will, the power.. the force to be. But in Spirituality we have to eliminate that and be in touch with Presence.

I remembered a Guide , in my state of spiritualness , who can turn into the image of my late grandfather, or an angel who taught me what i was supposed to see.
Then there's some things which I've seen that's my unlived life that I still haven't spent that's why I'm brought back to my body , to recover and wake up. -
By the way.. do you follow any particular religions or are u a buddhist?Originally posted by NotFromVenus:I remembered a Guide , in my state of spiritualness , who can turn into the image of my late grandfather, or an angel who taught me what i was supposed to see.

No particular one, but i strongly believe in spiritualness , and that God exists not for me to argue that whomever's spiritual path is not right , but that everyone's spiritual paths have their own making in this world and very existence.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:By the way.. do you follow any particular religions or are u a buddhist?
The angel shown me that it is my path , not and never anyone elses. -
I see.. thanks for sharingOriginally posted by NotFromVenus:No particular one, but i strongly believe in spiritualness , and that God exists not for me to argue that whomever's spiritual path is not right , but that everyone's spiritual paths have their own making in this world and very existence.

The more interesting part is that my soul can be mixed with another person's soul upon returning to my body ,
I was merged with another person's soul to return and another person's soul and another person's soul again and again. It's as if many personalities have comed together and returned to my body.
Which is why I question my own sanity sometimes and i really do find my memory failing , sometimes behaving wierdly etc.
It is probably the price of returning after staying there for 3 days 3 nights , as my body was in Coma.

No worries.

What is the effect of this merger? Do you then become multiple personalities? Is that what you are trying to say?Originally posted by NotFromVenus:The more interesting part is that my soul can be mixed with another person's soul upon returning to my body ,

Initially , yes . When I returned home , I do not recognise my family members.Originally posted by casino_king:What is the effect of this merger? Do you then become multiple personalities? Is that what you are trying to say?
I thought this body wasn't mine when I looked into the mirror . I felt extremely young and virile again , as if I was an 70 year old man lost ability and now found a new body to reside. I thought of this body as just another vessel.
Until the memories recovered gradually that I've used to become what I call myself , but I was never the same as before. -

I am not a Buddhist. Neither am I a Christian. I am a free thinker -

No , I couldn't remember what I looked like , I looked at the mirror and saw the stranger which is myself. It took me a while to get accustomed that I look like the person on my IC.Originally posted by casino_king:You mean initially you look at yourself in the mirror and you see a 70 year old man but that 70 year old man was not you?
I felt like I was a 70 year old mind found myself in a 20+ young man's body , I could run ! I could jump! and the virility ! Was so happy to be young again !?
