FabSwingers.com forum: Path to truth

Why do people feel the need to belong to a Religion, cult, philosophy etc. It take courage and energy to stand alone and seek the truth for yourself, when it is from a book or passed down by word of mouth, it becomes polluted by the ideals and opinions of others. Why not seek for yourself, by yourself, then it is in you and unquestionable, and there is no fear leading to violence to defend it. Don't listen to me or anybody else, find out for yourself.

But you want people to listen to you and do what you're doing.

None of us exist in a vacuum and true original thinkers are rare indeed. Lots of people find their personal spirituality within themselves, more than you might think.

I don't want anything from people, just offering help to get people started if they are interested, the it's up to them to search.

I'm opening this up for discussion, so we can enquire together, no need to be assumptive of me.

While i agree with what you are saying, people will always follow something! Be it a religion,cult even down to football teams. It comes down to the way people are raised, it will never change it takes a very strong person to go against their family and culture and to risk being ostrasised from their whole way of life, people will always have beliefs of some sort that they will live by

I didn't say you want anything from people but I am trying to open up the discussion with my opinion that by saying that people should think the way you think is asking them to listen to you......we can never escape that connection with others and be genuinely original thinkers.

You also told me I was making assumptions about you thereby not allowing me freedom of thought.

I am a huge advocate of finding ones own spiritual path but it's unlikely that it will be entirely original....in my opinion.

We're a communal species. Well most humans are anyway.

People have the right to believe what they want to believe, they might find something in religion and God that they don't find anywhere else. They get their answers from that and don't feel the need to explore anything else, but i do know from experience that many of them do seek and question their religion and are satisfied with what they find and continue to follow it.

We still have to learn practical stuff, but I'm talking about a unlearned deep spirituality, one that is seen.

So am I to listen to you or not? I feel that original thinking is important to seeing what's in front of me but you tell me it isn't key

. It strikes me that you want me to do this your way even though you claim you don't.

Only time, evolution and Mother Nature can answer that. Mankind, we are are all to hung up on power and greed. I feel a superior race need to hold a big gun to our heads and make us sort our act out. I could talk all night about this thread. Nice one

Evolution takes too long, we haven't evolved since we were in caves, we have technology etc, but psychologically, we are the same, countless wars over thousands of years prove this, fear, anger, violence, all these traits have caused us so much grief, yet we still cling to them, are we trapped in our own animal past. Maybe there is a way to move from this by seeing through it, that's what I'm looking for, changing the mind in an instant.

No they don't but you do need to be very "self" aware and mindful to prevent that happening. I think that's my main point in all this you simply cant avoid outside influence unless you can get in touch with the true essence of your "self" and you can't do that by listening to other people it has to be something you come to alone.

In an instant? Yes I can relate to that, however for me to see the world for what it really is and make a life changing decision in an instant took experience of all of those things you mentioned, fear, anger violence and war.

The human condition, the circle of life is we want peace after we have experienced the worst of life, I believe we are meant to suffer in order to sustain. You want a miracle and that is why we have religion, hope.

I don't always agree or understand most of it but then I am not enlightened. Who is? But on that one if you are self fulfilled then you have no need or interest in self. Like when you''ve eaten you have no interest in food.

But anyway, The Silence Of the Tao was always my favourite to read but mislaid it ages ago. Must get another copy

Total truth seeking junky here

Always think things through and pursue logic to wherever it leads, see the bigger picture of what conclusions you're leading to, recognise what you can know and what you can't, open yourself to new experiences that challenge you, never take someone elses word for it, always keep an open ear for wisdom from the least likely sources, never accept or reject something purely due to peer pressure, always pass your thinking by your gut and your heart to see what they have to say on it, and above all... test test test and retest your beliefs over and over again, throw them to the wolves, and see what survives all that. Whatever does... is more true than the rest

"No self interest

Self is fulfilled -

LAO TZU

Yeah I don't always agree with him ,

No interest in self one does not know if one is fulfilled or not

Quantum zen or as above the tao of schrodinger

What is the self, the thing we call I, me etc, is it just thoughts?

Its whoever you are

But what is that comprised of, try this exercise, if you have thoughts in your head now, observe them and tell me what happens."

I don't know... I can't remember. I was just thinking mainly that you're probably best off telling us what happens to you and letting us know what you're getting at rather than expecting to replicate whatever it is you're trying to say in someone else. Aside from that there were various random thoughts floating around as usual. A stream of thoughts tinkling around in the nooosphere lol

But me telling you is suggestion, people have to see it themselves, an old Indian chap asked me this years ago and we explored why it happens, you mentioned something in an earlier comment about meditation, and this is very important within that area.

Sorry dude but I don't think its gonna work in this kind of forum format. I love the idea of you chilling out with some old Indian dude and I'm keen to know what wonderful pearls of wisdom he imparted on you. But this kind of thing just can't be replicated on cyberspace. I can't see your face. I can't hear the intonation of your words. I'm missing loads of extra sensory information that would normally help me figure out what you were asking me but when I read your words "observe your thoughts" I'm afraid it merely translates as "observe your thoughts" which is pretty much what I'm doing 24/7. If you're gonna take someone on this journey via text alone I'd recommend you develop more of a conversational enchanting storytelling manner, filling out the textual journey somewhat with ways of thinking and ways of looking and helping lead them towards whatever it is you're hoping to reveal to them that way... its kinda how books work

All the best
