I am just an "amateur" but I must chime in.
I won't quote anyone famous. I won't give you scientific experiences or findings and I certainly don't have a list of "resources" to back up what I have to say.
See, I don't
think about my beliefs, I
feel them.
You can't convince me of anything with your science. Sorry to frustrate you.
I am connected to what I believe is the Source of life. You don't have to believe there is a Source. You don't have to believe that we can be connected to it. But I DO believe it based on my own life, my own experiences and my own FEELINGS.
I do not like to be a part of anything "organized," especially religions, because I feel when you get a group of people together, THIS happens (what we see in this thread). Frankly, I feel humans get things all wrong.
LoA is NOT a religion for me. As soon as you tag that onto it I go running.
LoA simply "is" to me.
I tend to buy into Buddhism, but I won't say I am a Buddhist. I like some of the things Jesus said but I am not a Christian. I believe only what I feel in my heart. And you can't budge that belief with anything from the academic world.
Do I believe Science, yes. Do I think Science can explain what I feel in my heart? Heck no, not ever!
I don't need science to tell me what to believe. I am happy that way, so I will just avoid these frustrating threads in the future.
