Brings to mind the last words of a group of serial killers I was just reading about.

Ask God

(If she isn't available, try a psychologist).

The human mind is limited. It can easily understand and juggle with contraries such as calm and nervous, hot and cold, North and South, left and right, love and hate. But for more fundamental concepts, it can state them, but it can know only one side It gets more complex when you look at individual...

Trust me on this.

Sure, we'll definitely trust you on this, as we did about Freud having no expertise. The world according to Nooby.

But my 50 years of reading and testing out to practice Zen or other Buddhist teaching I see nothing in it than bragging about how good they are at seeing the world as it is. Now it's 50 years. Doesn't really matter, because you still haven't been able to find anything/anyone you understand...that's...

2. If God is man made then Humans made God real by definition or else they would have no usage of God. Humans cannot make God. All gods and all religions are man made. I suppose you could stop there, but you'd miss the entire point. Maybe look into Jungian psychology, for example. Is man the centra...

If anyone is interested, here's the reference: Tillich, Paul, Dynamics of Faith, Harper Torchbooks, Harper & Row, Publishers, New York, 1957. Thanks. Here's an interesting critique on his concept of "ultimate concern" that Tillich felt an essential element in faith. Tillich appears to...

@ jpeps: To me, your pdf reference has no value. Christianity (all of its variants) is guilty of so many cultural and historical murders in the name of the Lord, it has mixed up politics and true attachment to a Higher Being so many times, that it is has lost any connection to the Rule of Love that...

@ jpeps (?) I don't think Tillich was influenced by Buddhism or oriental religions as such. But I am pretty sure he knew of early existentialists such as Heidegger, Kierkegaard, and Husserl. He had to: in the 1920's he was teaching philosophy at University of Berlin. The idea of "God" not...

Let's not worry about your understanding zen, okay? Yes, I'm sure it's all very disappointing.

Yes wikipedia should know

You might be thinking of Shunryu Suzuki (Suzuki Roshi) who died in San Francisco in 1971.

where he mentions Christianity only in passing, and says something like: "What is your ultimate, fundamental, value? In other words: what is the value that you cannot live without? That's where God resides." God within. Not out there next to the Milky Way. Of course, this is from memory, ...

musher0 thanks indeed for mentioning these guys. I find them very interesting too. Sadly you and I are the only persons caring about their personal approaches to Theologies about God. ?

You and I have to disagree heavily on this. The way you use the term energy here is pure woo. No wonder I am so disappointed with Buddhists. They also use language in this misleading way. Yes, well you can't understand them because you don't yet know what your life is lacking. Creativity, inspirati...

I have moved on many years ago but I find it interesting how stuck that you are using typical woo language like "Energy" . Wrong..energy is exactly the correct term. There's nothing "woo-woo" about energy. Creative energy is something you have never experienced, so you'll have t...

The dilemma often seems to boil down to differences in how one personally defines "god". Semantics? Rhetorical differences? Mostly, it seems. We are all human, and most of us appear to experience emotions in quite a similar way. It's what our imagination does with 'em, where things can - ...
