I am not a prophet of doom, but the eonic effect and its history require a close look at the apparent failures of civilization.

Buddhism and the demonic
This review (previous post) has a possible flaw in its statements about Buddha and the Demon Mara. It is one thing to consider naturalism but what is the status of ideas of demonology. Secular humanism is almost fanatic on such a subject. But the legacy of Buddha requires more than kneejerk naturalism. Even so, humanists … Continue reading Buddhism and the demonic

Over and over … Continue reading Now you tell us, forty years down the drain…//Anatta / anatman. Original Buddhism from Doctrine. Negating the “no-soul” nonsense part 1 – YouTube – The Gurdjieff Con
