Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Dear Vairagis, Mounas and Sadhus, This is the dilemma once again. Consider this and which agrees with modern quantum physics - the Copenhagen equation: the world that is mentally constructed by our borrowed knowledge, ideas, opinions, expectations, desires, longings and so on is unreal or false. It is how we see the world (through the filter) that is false. Clear open perception reveals that the world is Real as Light, Mystery and Wonder...like the look of an innocent child... You cannot enter the Kindgom unless ye be like a child, said a prophet of yore. -d --- On Mon, 9/29/08, Alan Jacobs <alanadamsjacobs wrote: Alan Jacobs <alanadamsjacobs The Truth of the World Date: Monday, September 29, 2008, 7:00 PM Another apposite posting on our thread of the Truth of the World from Aham> > Verse 18.
