Obscurus Azkeel How about this; people are forgetting their spirituality. I don't think it's so much "forgetting" as it is "getting rid of." I disagree. "Getting rid of" is an active statement I really don't see people actively trying to lose their spirit. "Forgetting" is inactive and it just happens; I do observe people being distracted by "Life" and losing touch with their spirit thus "Forgetting".

ammaea ummm... wtg thread hijacking~ airport scanners? razz Breach of the fourth amendment. It is not probable cause to warrant a search of me because I want to take a flight. I prefer freedom over security. They have other methods they can imply that are far less evasive. And anyways remember the "Underware" bomber got on the plane in another country... It's my understanding they just want you to get used to being searched. Imagine going through one of those scanners at school! =D Think of all the perverse people wanting to monitor those scanners.

Actually they are able to get away with scanners because you give consent to the search. Not like that is in anyway negating the fact, but you should read my previous reply.

Azkeel Obscurus Arcane_Ninja24 Obscurus Arcane_Ninja24 Azkeel That's a curious statment. Perhaps blinded by a false light, I can agree to that. But a true light would not blind. "true darkness non can see in, true light blinds all who look at it. perhaps humanity should seek balances of the to as apose to absolutes? perhaps they should look to insanity and purity instead of light and dark? at least insanity and purity understand lies do not exist." im gunna stop saying "my friend says this" instead ill just write what he said in a quote k XD I think all of that can be avoided by stepping outside of dichotomous paradigms. dichotomous pardigawhats? Dichotomies like "good and bad," "light and dark," "hot and cold," don't do the world justice. Life is not a dichotomy so we end up clashing with reality when we choose to adopt that kind of worldview. You must prefer a naturalistic way of life. Very cut throat without a code of laws. xp So with that; what you are saying is the lack of justice. Because a gray zone would be lawless. Too bad humans really need laws because they're too stupid to play nice. I'm saying that any kind of dichotomy we try to impose is man-made. The world is not black and white. Because the world is not black and white, when you go to clinging to black or white you end up very disappointed. When you cling to black, white always seems to manage to seep in. Same with clinging to white; you can't keep the black out. I believe in right and wrong, but I don't feel that it's as simple as black and white. That's the point I'm trying to make. Dichotomous paradigms only end up hurting you in the end. Instead of confining yourself to two options, why not give yourself more freedom than that, especially when there's nothing but your own assumptions stopping you?

I don't think he said everything was all gray either... Life is seen through many eyes all of which view things slightly different. I think some people focus more on brighter things, and others focus more on that in the shadows.. I find myself inbetween.. life is full of colour IMO. I have to agree that you can be blinded by light though. Or at very least - mesmerized...

There can be nothing solid in the sense that everything is subject to change. Physical objects that we consider to be solid are a sea of movement: molecular and atomic vibrations, etc. There's no such thing as an abiding anything and trying to cling to things is what causes our pain. I highly recommend looking into Buddhism for some very deep insight on the nature of reality and our own dissatisfaction.

Good job bring physics into it I don't see how physics has anything to do with spirit. Yes everything is literally in movement. And to proclaim nothing to be solid because everything is subject to change, well that's the contradiction. And as for Budda I know him and his style. I am not dissastisfied, I am at peace, I have no real desires. As for light and dark, good vs evil. A dichotomy is perfect. I am not clinging to anything, I just realize it really is black and white. To say otherwise is to just be looking for a scapegoat for their actions.
