maadhav Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 << hallucinations help mind to stay in yoga. >> and then why all the yogis never hallucinate - do drugs? Hk's do not take tea even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 << hallucinations help mind to stay in yoga. >> and then why all the yogis never hallucinate - do drugs? Hk's do not take tea even. Why don't drug addicts who always hallucinate all the time (due to influence of the drug to their cortex) become healthy and strong? Ever seen a drug addict before? He will be skinny, unhealthy and weak. Opposite effect to those who perform Yoga. Also, what is an illusion? Just because I see something which you couldn't see, it means I'm having an illusion? Is my brain same as yours? Is my mentality same as yours? My achievements and intelligence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maadhav Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 yes, indeed better. << Also, what is an illusion? >> it is when you accept something as truth, and it is not the truth. << Just because I see something which you couldn't see, it means I'm having an illusion? >> no. both could be illusioned. a test of a truth is to live per the truth, and see if it yields good/happy result. << Is my brain same as yours? >> yes, as far as from what material it is made. no, as far as what memory, transmission speed, nodes and interconnections it has. << Is my mentality same as yours? >> less likely. << My achievements and intelligence? >> different. it all depenss on past karma and experiences, and other things, we call sanskaras. the culture one grows in also plays a big part.

Sephiroth Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 << Also, what is an illusion? >> it is when you accept something as truth, and it is not the truth. And who decides what is Truth and what is False? By what standards and means? << Just because I see something which you couldn't see, it means I'm having an illusion? >> no. both could be illusioned. a test of a truth is to live per the truth, and see if it yields good/happy result. You have avoided my question. My question was - IF I see something which you couldn't see, does it mean that I'm having an illusion? << Is my brain same as yours? >> yes, as far as from what material it is made. no, as far as what memory, transmission speed, nodes and interconnections it has. So the answer is NO ... my brain, except for its make-over, is NOT same as yours. << Is my mentality same as yours? >> less likely. << My achievements and intelligence? >> different. it all depenss on past karma and experiences, and other things, we call sanskaras. the culture one grows in also plays a big part. If there is so many difference between two individuals, much less an entire society, then how can you say the sensation which felt by a drug addict is SAME as what felt by Yogis? I feel it is an ignorant statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
