thankyou, your words are very interesting.
Sant Mat is an indian philosophy/following that never gained the popularity that hinduism and sikism did. It blends many different beliefs and takes the best parts of many religions and encorparates them into its teachings. Search about on the net and you will find some sites on it.
To move away as in to live life without feeling the need to chase desire, to recognise that these things shouldnt be our goal as they dont bring true happiness.Quote:
my queston would be where is there to move away to?
I remember seeing a young buddhist monk and he told of how everytime he had an impure thought he would sit facing a stone wall and meditate. I would say this is moving away from desire, its conditioning the mind so that the flaws in us eventually dissapear and we no longer think/act with desire in mind.
yea sorry for lumping them all together. I know that they are separate things, I mentioned them because I was talking about connecting to a higher source, so in christianity that would be god, daoism the tao and sant mat the soul.Quote:
BTW, not to nitpick, but I wouldn't lump god/tao/soul together...three very different constructs, IMHO
hmm indeed
im off to bed
