oh i definately agree
i think i have reached that point of 'accepting defeat'....where i see the world in a much much much different way. its a point of understanding and awareness that just knocks you off your feet.
but that's why i think anywhere i go from there, is all in the mind...and any way we try to explain it just dilutes its meaning. that feeling of awareness is feeling 'god' if you want to call it that. but i dont mean a higher being looking down on us. i just mean OUR higher being. i think we are god....just an extension of it.
the thing about religion that bothers me is this separation between mankind and god. i.e. there is a creator and we are its creation. i don't buy that.
because as i mentioned above....that takes away any purpose in life. not just as a person, but for LIFE in general. why would Life want to survive if it is just a creation. why do we do anything then? why are there things to discover?
im goin on a rant, and losing my train of thought, and just dodging studying for my exam tomorrow, hehe, but please share your thoughts.
