Re: Are there any people who have reached enlightenment lately?

That's why I feel it is quite common for people who have come to the truth quickly, without much theoretical knowledge, to have these curiosities about what may have happened to them and have a need to discuss these experiences in an online environment as there is a certain level of anonymity.

Re: Poll: Belief in rebirth

I checked "other". I will claim agnosticism on the issue. Whats never born doesnt die, but the sense of individual separate self is temporary.

Re: The weight of nobility

I dont see how knowing more could make one less functional.
I also dont see how one could prefer one way of seeing the world over another since preference involves attraction and aversion.

Re: Evidence of reincarnation

Furthermore, re-birth is the only concept that can bring moral equilibrium to things that cannot be explained within the limits of a single life.
