Everything is an imagination within consciousness. Doesn't that make everything an intelligent design? Does that mean nothing is random? How does this apply to the daily life in the ego world? Does Luck exist in Reality?

What do you think, are there no innate knowledge in our minds? Or is it that all principles are innate but one is just not conscious of it?

@RendHeaven That's just so perfect. Although, I wonder how it is imagined. If love is the ultimate reality, does that mean the origin of fear and hatred is love? Perhaps, my definition of love is corrupted.

I don't quite understand why God is love. How does that work? If everything is love how come there's fear or hate or greed, why does it imagine all this? If reality is love and everything originates from it, how? What do you mean when you say God is Love?

Yeah, he's full of shit.

@The Buddha He is very sophisticated, yes. There must be various unknown factors to his actions. But how could anything ever justify rape and sexual harassment?

I have no idea what's going on with this man. He seems to have gotten enlightened, and his words are mostly profound, look at the number of his followers. People claim he can do miracles. But then, look at his actions. And there are a number of other gurus out there just like him. Seriously, what's going on?

@Leo Gura When you have your own nation, of course. https://www.news18.com/news/india/on-the-run-from-law-nithyananda-establishes-his-own-nation-called-kailaasa-near-ecuador-2410593.html

What factors contribute to a person's awakening? Can a "stupid" person get enlightened? What about life circumstances? What about personality traits like openness, conscientiousness and neuroticism? Who has the better chance; an introvert or an extrovert, if all the other factors are taken away?

@cetus Would you say the concept of avatars is only a doctrine?

Some "enlightened" people claim they are Avatars, that they are not the same as common folks, they are spiritually superior or that they're the fulfillment of spiritual prophecies. What is the truth behind this?

But for what reason do they recite rosery or conduct Holy Mass or as we come to Hinduism, do Poojas? Is there any meaning to any of these? Here's the link for Christian Mysticism:

I'm wondering if one could attain God realization and at the same time practice religion. I know many Catholic priests who are in stage turquoise yet they conduct Holy mass and other worship ceremonies. How does that work?

I'm starting to understand that everything is pure consciousness. And that "I" don't exist in reality but is an illusion, that ego is not real. If then, why do human beings have Ego? What is the need? And how did it come to existance?
