Genisis

The word "Philosophy" is derived from the Ancient Greek - philosophía (compounded from phílos: friend, or lover and sophía: wisdom). To quote from WikiPedia, "Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of what is the right way to live (ethics), what sorts of things ultimately exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

THERE IS THE TRAP! YOU CAN NOT-NOT DISCOVER THE ANSWER TO YOUR RIDDLE VIA THE INTELLECT! THE ANSWER TO YOUR RIDDLE CAN ONLY BE EXPERIENCED AND THAT CAN ONLY HAPPEN BY GODS GRACE! :smt002

That is true, but I don't believe in riddles.

I'm reminded of this phrase, "Reap the whirlwind". Perhaps it just means we reap what we sow. We can either go straight to the Center or we can live in the whirlwind that we create for ourselves. Some will stare in awe though.  :smt017

Normally there is a Trap in beliefs....that is why it is so difficult to discuss.

In order to "see" it you must be a believer...and you can't see it with your eyes...but your belief tells you it is there.

If belief makes something happen....why are we then putting all those who believe they are Jesus Christ, Napoleon, Presidents or maybe even a bird, in a nut house? :)  
Are one belief better then another,,,,who judge....at least between Religions.
All of them are 100% sure that they have the truth, then we either must have several creators....or just several names for the same thing :)

You forget the other option Rhuto, which are several lies.

The truth always sounds great, but it is often wrapped in lies. It's a great recipe for confusion.

Yes, some will be in awe but they will first be troubled before the AWE and they marvel and find repose. And they will be in the Center and yet, in the world but not of the world.

Agreed.

But I meant some will stare in awe of the tree, whilst there are other trees.

Yes. The tree of Life. Most never get past the tree of deception.

That reminds me of another dream. The land shall be come clean. Many will claim to be a prophet. They're coming out of the wood-work already.

You who claim to be one of the righteous ones condemns and passes a verdict without trial or evidence. My words will not come back empty.
