Any logic hounds out there? Is this a true statement?

The precise nature which creates you and me, this will forever be a mystery. I believe in reincarnation and that we were created millions of years ago, started out as being synthesized in one celled creatures, and grew and went up the genetic line as it progressed, that we will continue until each of us achieve our inevitable enlightenment (freedom from the birth/death cycle) But, the precise nature of our creation, I can't see how that can be known. Everywhere in nature with organic life, things start out as seeds or eggs of some kind, and grow from there. I believe the spiritual process is also organic, in the same fashion. I makes sense to me that it would be this way.

However, Nature is going to keep some of her secrets, like that one, how we came to be, from humans. We'll steal of bunch of her secrets, but not the mystery of our existence.

I think the best we can do, is get closer to figuring out if there is a supreme being, or not. I don't think there is, because it's a half baked solution.
We posit a supreme being to explain creation, but that doesn't explain the mystery the supreme being. How is it that that guy is the lucky guy to be El Supremo? How did He get that gig? The very notion is way too simplistic for an explanation of existence. That it's a 'being' makes no sense. That it's an all permeating all things as a spiritual force, that makes much more sense. But, it, too, is a mystery, but it's not a half baked solution which is to say, the kind that only takes us back to square one. We might as well let square one be a mystery without having to create a half baked solution that only takes us back to it, anyway.

The principle of eastern philosophy, yin, yang, inner, outer, or 'duality' is that these polar opposites seek each other (the reason for male and female attraction) and eventually these opposite polarities find each other in the same being, and, when achieved, enlightenment unfolds, and the soul is free. This is why, in the Gospel Of Thomas, Christ said a woman has a better chance of going to heaven if she becomes more male. (the opposite is true for males, and I don't know why he didn't mention it). The achieving more of the opposite polarity doesn't refer to biological sex, only the underlying polarity. Enlightenment is neutral. Yin/Yang become fused into one.

 

No, you got it! But Tillich got right before either of us.

Good points!

Thank you for your comments!

 

On your profile you state you play classical guitar? I play the nylon string guitar, started with classical some 50 years ago, but went in the jazz direction, and picked up piano 27 years ago. I'm mainly a jazz tunesmith, and play standards and bossa nova. There are some incredible female classical guitarists on youtube, many of them, more than males, it seems. I never did use a pick. Have you heard of Yamandu Costa?

By the way, it's not clear to me who you are responding to, above?

 

I was responding to your comments regarding infinity.

I stopped practicing ten years ago after an operation that had nothing to do playing the guitar, but I just fell out of discipline and my ability was very limited without training. I love guitarists John Williams and Julian Bream the most. I learned Williams' version of Koyunbaba I, II, and III, but not IV--impossible! I am cursed! My favorite from Julian Bream is his playing Enrique Granados. I just learned the easy parts of Valses Poeticos. Also, John Williams' Cavatina (Deer Hunter) is another favorite--I think I'm going to cry.

 

I am sorry to hear that, but thanks.

I don't know what I would do, if I lost my ability or capability to play, I can only imagine your loss.

 

I meant John Williams' beautifully played Deer Hunter. I could of started practicing again if I got off by lazy rear--however, there were other interests I needed to persuade.

John Williams' Stélé: part I. is another stunningly beautiful piece.

 

It is.

I'm working on this piece, though I don't know I can play it as well as Nadia does. She sent me her arrangement, it's the best one, of the many which exist. The original was for accordion.

 

She sent you her music arraignment! Wow! That's really something. I could never find the sheet music and in 2008 it wasn't even on Youtube so that I couldn't study the cord finger positions on certain bars, but now there are many more videos. And I suspected Stele is alternatively turned similar to Koyunbaba.
