I have come to the conclusion that I know nothing about spiritual matters, and I fear nobody else knows anything either. It's all speculation. I hope there is an after life, and I hope there is something pleasant to look forward to down the road, but I sure can't take it to the bank, because I know nothing about such matters. Who does ?
Originally posted by buckkyI have had a few satori experiences but not satori. In this sense I think I know there is a point to pusruing spiritual matters, life,death,afterlife,etc.

But in the absolute sense of knowing 24/7,no , that will not happen until satori.

Others have a different take on how knowing is possible. Good luck to them.
Originally posted by buckkyI know the love of God. I'm very familiar with God's love because it fills me daily. There's no greater joy than knowing the tender love of the Father, who embraces you whole, character defects, sins and all. It is to this intimate relationship which Jesus Christ calls all people. And all those who obey the Gospel get to taste, hear and see exactly why it is called the Good News.

Don't stop there.
Originally posted by Badwaterbuckky mentioned 'spiritual matters' not 'religious belief', those are two different things in my book... also, I do not agree with your statement about, quote, "the extreme human discomfort of.."
That's really at the core of all religious belief, isn't it? The extreme human discomfort with self-awareness, life and death, and not knowing anything about it?
