the concept of faith

I don’t think so-my signature is my cite.

Let me try to explain it to you. The more you learn the wiser you become.
Maybe that will be understandable to you.

Not necessarily-It depends on what you seek to learn, what you allow yourself to learn and from who you learn it from.

There is a quantitative and qualitative difference between knowledge and wisdom. having sufficient quantities of either do not equate to being more of one than the other in any sense of quality.

Dr. Raymond Moody has shared a video on his Google+ that
shows how faith turns into knowing. I just had to post it.

Huh?

Thank you for proving my point. One does not grow wiser by only gathering information that supports an already-held viewpoint.

You’ll understand it eventually - you just have to try harder and meditate on it a bit.

I was wrong. You haven’t learned your lesson yet. :slight_smile:

No I guess your are right.

Here’s your lesson in a nutshell. You should enjoy this. Aloha

I keep thinking that whether this event is all in the mind or something spiritual you will eventually experience it also. So it may mean something when it happens to you.

It will … eventually.

Aloha

That is funny.

I agree 100% with this.

Early **lekatt **replied to the point that ‘some people believe that they saw the Lock Ness monster so it means that the monster exists’. **Lekatt **responded: “I don’t know since it was not my experience.” Then why demand from others that we should seek even more iffy experiences?

I don’t seek all my experiences, sometimes they just hit you out of the blue like a heart attack.

As I said, iffy experiences are not good enough to validate a point of view, nor it validates the “evidence” that one believes he/she has.

It certainly does for the one who has the experience. Don’t really care what others who didn’t have the experience think about it. No way they could know anything.

Then why do you continue to share them as ‘truth’ ?

If he was serious about teaching the truth – and if truth can only come from dramatic, catastrophic, or violent experiences – he ought to be out there causing traffic accidents, shooting at people, kidnapping people, and in other ways allowing them to accumulate wisdom which can be obtained in no other way.

Saying, You should believe me, I know what I’m saying, and then going on to say No explanation can ever be convincing, you must experience it yourself, seems like a glaringly obvious contradiction.
