Re: Sensing God part 2
Hi, I came back to look a t your post, and I'm sure it seemed that I just brushed you off and I want to apologize for that, so here;s some response to your questions.
What am I supposed to know? It’s not about a dogma or any theology. Nor can one person’s experience be compared to another’s in the context of spiritual or religious knowledge. It can’t work like that. That’s a strange statement for you to make.
As for the question for instance: ‘what is God?’ Who does know? At least enough to tell someone else that what they sense as God is not correct. As for having an answer: you have that. The questions that I asked are more rhetorical and aimed at trying to answer the obvious, only to find that it’s not as obvious and one might think. Life is personal thing and is solely based on what your on perceptions are.
woah....I have no idea what you are trying to say... The only thing I can get from that is that you just admit you don't know things and you are trying to project you not knowing things onto others..
Are you actually asking questions?
"What is God?" -I don't know... I could have a guess, but I have no idea.
"Got an answer?"- Not one that I can say is true in all confidence
"What if God said "hello" to you?"-It would probably scare me and I would try to see if I was either crazy or someone is trying to mess with me
"Would you question it?"-Yes, but maybe they could convince me?
"Would you challenge it?"-Yes
"Would you drink it off?"-No?
I would hope he did something more than just say hello though... because a lot of people do that, and not just him in this case...
"A brown rock is only a brown rock because WE say it is. " Yes, we use language to explain phenomena. When we see a rock that bounces off a certain light spectrum that is similar in pattern to other things, we eventually give that spectrum a name... and in the rocks case, it is brown.
"What does a rabbit think it is?"A rabbit probably doesn't care, but assuming they have color vision, the rabbit would be able to notice similar patterns in his point of view... but since a rabbit does not have language nor the mental capacity to care he doesn't call it brown.
"How do you show what's in our brain BTW? Pictures? Words?" We use language and imagery. Scientist can do further things like track the electrical signals and such.
