Do thoughts really create our reality?

[manniz]

Good thing I checked back again, manniz since you added to your post. More nuggets of wisdom. I find that people at times will add to their post, so sometimes I like to read back. The book I ordered you recommended cost only $8 plus postage. My own book which I published would have cost $35 because of self publishing. I wish I hadn't gone that route because it just went out of print.

Self publishing sucks, other than for the lucky few. Does not matter, if it went out of print, atleast you got to write it. That is good enough. There are going to be lots of excellent books that people wrote, and the movies they made in their heads that did not get publicized. Gemini, atleast you as the creator got to write it and read it for yourself.

I'd love to see a thread on Shiva MahaPurana, and how it relates to Creation. Would like to learn things that the Ra material didn't cover. Thanks manniz.

Gemini, see if you can find this book in your local library or online - Stories and Teachings of Shiva Mahapurana by Vanamali. It has an interesting mix of philosophies and mythological stories as imagined by humans on Earth.

Ordered off Amazon. So it's got some good philosophies on creation, doesn't it?

Gemini, it deals more with mythologies. However, the chapter on creation is very interesting. I got it from the library, and those 3-4 pages were worth it for me. Most of the other parts show how ancient philosophies have evolved into human myths and stories. Could be interesting for those in to mythology and fantasies. Good artists could do a decent job of illustrating some of the stories. Lots of religious art in India tends to be gawdy.

Good thing is that many mythological stories can be reverse engineered into philosophies. Now that you have already ordered it, if nothing else this book will give you a decent ground for imagination. The few pages on creation are really good, if you think about them in peace. The best approach to creation in my opinion. Helps you in imagining creator as the aware infinity, as an idea, and see how it manifests into the infinite reality based on the highest Gunas (principles).
