If others feel the need to push their opinions onto another, I can only say:

Prove yourself right. Convince me of your truth. Because otherwise, you’ll only establish evidence in your ignorance.

Anyways, the way I see it – all opinions are part of the play.

In the course of history, the difference of opinions will always be present.

And it looks like I’ve been writing to entertain it.

Just food for thought.

Author’s reply:
I could almost imagine that if you bump into someone who suffers from anorexic disorders, this might be the comment that ensues:

“Why won’t you just eat? Please do not continue this ridiculous line of thought that you’re fat. I can’t believe you’re wasting your life away with constant thought about being fat. Please for the sake of your own sanity and your usefulness to others stop wasting time and eat something. Regardless of what you think put food in your mouth and swallow it, just stop wasting time. Just food for thought.”

If the speech healed the person on the spot just like that, great job.

But chances are, the commenter would be ignored for being deemed shallow.

I’m asking questions about thought because the answers may potentially solve much of the mental distresses that people are suffering from today.

So that we can have greater understanding about life, to have peace, to have fulfillment in our hearts.

That’s why we have doctors/psychologists/therapists who’re willing to investigate into the causes of physical/mental disorders.

The purpose is to figure out ways to solve the problems that we face.

Sorry, but I’d have to deny your advice for its depth.

On the topic of the bible – my father’s a pastor. I’ve lived decades of years as a Christian, in a strict Christian environment. Surely, I have reasons why I eventually steered away from the book. If you’re interested to know why by any reason, check out my blog post titled “#70 Religions and the Theory of Oneness”. It’d explain more.

In the end – reading your comment, I can only wonder what the book(s) you’ve read have taught you.

Author’s reply:
I agree. With the conventional way of thinking, I couldn’t agree more. The reason why I accepted nonduality is because I’ve eventually inquired far enough.

More often than not, people accept what they have been told, without inquiring further into the truth of a situation. For example – we believe in the free will of choosing what to do. The question is: Where is this free will coming from?

If you think it came from the brain, the brain is just matter. In science, it’s just referred to as a machine that interprets/works with electromagnetic waves. By itself, it’s like a chip in a computer – without electricity, it’s a static object that serves no purpose. If you’d research into the source of matter, you’d find out that everything is energy. Even atom – magnified down into its core, is just energy that appears from and disappears into nothingness constantly. In other words, despite seeing your body as a solid object, emptiness is actually its base. You may even have learned that your body when you’re 30 is a completely different body than when you’re 10. So where is this you who created thoughts?

Then, we have people who believe in the existence of the soul as religions refer to the word. However, are you satisfied with the explanation that free will is generated from the soul? Is it a belief, or is it the truth?

Given the choice, which of the previous two options would you prefer to know more about?

Back to your view about free will. I had the same belief, until I realize how many things are not within my control. e.g. You’re rushing for work. Once you’re out of the home, you realize you forgot your keys. Now, did you, as the person with free will, planned to forget about taking your keys beforehand?

If you believe that you came up with your thoughts, then where do your thoughts come from? Did they – appear out of nowhere? If this is the case, can you prove me wrong when I say that they may not come from the character named as [your name], but is served to you from somewhere?

That they have arisen, but not created?

When you try not to fear, but nervousness still arise, did you will the circumstance to happen?

You mentioned that the few authors above have bended logic to their premise.

What if because of classic conditioning, we have accepted a faulty premise and thus bended all logic?

We can hold on tightly onto our age-old beliefs, which could be based nowhere close to truth. Or we can simply be present and observe, with clarity, what is nearer to it. We can believe a movie is real, or we can see it as it is, and work on what counts.

All I did was ask questions that allow me to do more of that.

Some people may not want to do ask these questions.

And even that, by itself, is not wrong after all.

Because at the end of the day, no one is ever wrong.

It is all perfect.

Thank you too, I appreciate your comment.

A small note: Allow these texts/resources to be only references. And make everything else, all knowledge in the world to be only so. I don’t claim to know the truths of the world, but I seek the path that I should thread upon and make choices that get closer to it everyday.

That’s the best I can do.

And I’d like to share that with you, for I believe that we exist in this world to be us. To be ourselves. This whole thing called life is for us to know who we really are, and live for what we should really do.

What I can say is, there may be a correlation of this to reality.

A very proven one, as well.

I’ve studied various spiritual texts, and they have mentioned/described the holographic universe in a different way.

I will write more about it in the future.

It’s amazing.

Maybe I could write something on “No Shoulds.”

Cause that’s where this path leads to, isn’t it?

Those words are wise.

Thanks for your comment.

Remember you have a choice and a purpose. The idea is how much you are willing to give, that much you can certainly take.

The message is clear.

I agree with the others – you should do what you love to do. Sometimes it’s hard to see what’s going on (especially when you’re down, you think the whole world is like hell) but all our experiences have lessons that we must learn from. Don’t think it’s like, “I should’ve done this, I should’ve done that” because if we keep doing that, we’ll should all over the place. (ok, you need to read that out in an Aussie accent, really fast to understand the ‘pun’ :p)

Reply from Him:
I get what you mean Olav. Sometimes though, reality’s so hard on you, it could pull you back down. Perhaps even push you to frustration. In those moments, however much you learn about spirituality – all of them are likened to nothing. It’s in those moments that you realize that you can’t control life. And if you can’t do anything about it, what matters is really that you choose to live happier.

I got something out of your words.

Will refer to them again.
