Authority - “The Bible is the absolute truth”

[Thought Art]

Watch how he puts the bible as the absolute truth and gives it his whole authority. Very interesting after learning about Absolute vs Relative Truth and Authority through actualized.org.

it’s insane how the mind can do that, get lost in concepts and gives its power to a single book. Belief is a hell of a thing.

[At awe]

His taking his role very seriously. Beautiful.

[Thought Art]

@At awe It is beautiful, but also interesting as self actualizers to observe how paradigms work.

None of books can provide the truth to you. Do not trust anything that you have learned. Only silence. Even W-o-r-d is illiuson and duality itself. Only silence is oneness. Throw out all the books you have. Silence is the only answer.

@Thought Art Absolutely ?

I’m just so happy that we are not all alike. How boring would that be. 

[Thought Art]

@Khan 0 even that is false 

silence is part of the thing 

but books and relative truths are important for this life

@At awe Yeah, glad people are different but I’m not talking about that here. Peoples beliefs matter.

There is no such a thing as life. Life is for ego, the one who lives is the devil itself. These stuff is not even close to enlightenment. Just want to let you guys know. Thats all.

Woah there... This is not at all true. Life is beautiful and divine.

@Tim Ho Didn't you know the absolute truth it the bible and not the fridge?

But it is not the Truth. And life is an illusion just matrix.

Giving authority is not always a bad thing. We do it with Leo and his videos or with scientists. For example, you referenced interpreting the Bible is absolute truth within the frame of Leo's videos.

I've read the Bible many times while tripping and it is a source of absolute truth to me. 

- The thing is, people and I want to understand life, and judge what is good and bad for them, so that we may achieve success, peace, harmony, and love. There has to be some sort of standard to frame the situations of life and to discern what is reasonable and good in the long run. That's why people use it. It's a very useful map and set of standards, that time tested, on how to structure your life.

Edit: See, now @Khan 0 & @Thought Art are in disagreement about whether life is an illusion or if it is divine, which is a great example of what happens when authority structures are not set in place

How you know you are in life, you are human, because you learned from your family, or these are sentences? Anything you have learned is not it. Dont trust so called people. Now is the source. But if you are happy of course stay in the illisuon, sooner or later “you” drops and get it. You are already what you are. Peace!

While I don't disagree with Krishnamurti, the downside of only believing in that one statement is that it pretty much leads to duality.

@Khan 0 is making a distinction between Truth and Illusion and @Thought Art is posing the non-duality, that all is Truth.

If you say L-i-f-e it is duality my friend. Non duality is everything is it, therefore there is no everything (car, life etc). Just it. Which is the source Now. You guys are conceptualizing the truth. Specially, if you think krishanamurti is wrong you guys are stuck in life which is duality. Thats how complicated ego is. Therefore you guys are still goes back between belief and ideas. It is super funny that when you say life (you name and label ) you talk about it is non duality. It is not. Non duality is everything is nothing, therefore there is no such a thing as everything just nothing. Therefore now is the source and before birth. But it is totally normal. You guys are still trying to catch the ox. It will take some time. Empty your cup.

@Khan 0 S-T-O-P Arguing. This present moment is the Absolute Truth. Full Stop.

Your hands are the truth. It's just the truth. Truth.

Infinity. Love. 

If you knew what you were saying, you wouldn't say it.

@Thought Art I think it’s worth contemplating: To whom? Why? What is a belief? What is a value of a belief? Etc.
