Re: Creationitsts and mental slowing?

It does not surprise me that you interpret what I write as nonsense. You couldn't possibly grasp the meaning with all that chatter in your head! Perhaps when you've spent about ten years sitting on a cushion we can talk about this further.

BTW...how would you explain the intuitions, flashes of insight or dreams that resulted in resolution to some major questions by some of the most brilliant scientists?

As Einstein said: "The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery— even if mixed with fear— that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man."

And here's some food for 'thought':

The world of ideology is merely a distorted reflection of the mind. It is a mental delusion, a deviation from the real world. In reality, everything is integral, because the Universal Way is the only way that exists. Duality is merely an illusory product of the mind. In order to perceive the Integral Reality of the universe, it is necessary to transcend the mental process of separation and fragmentation.

Attachment to the false images of the mind is the greatest obstacle to reaching awareness of the Integral Truth of the universe. It is the accumulation of dust and dirt, gathered while living in the world, that prevents one from truly experiencing the fulless of life. Once the dust and dirt are cleansed away, one suddenly becomes brilliantly illuminated with the awareness of Integral Unity. When one dissolves the illusion of separation from the source of the Universal Soul, one restores one's own original, pure being. Clarity and enlightment are brought about without one's having to move an inch, for the Integral Truth is always found within one's own True Nature.
