Dear brother,
Sometimes a mind sees what the heart wants to see, and sometimes a mind is trying to fool the self for you to feel better. We are then trying to find physical/scientific proof of stuff that we want to believe in, that we sometimes need to believe in, and ignoring all other things that poiting in the opposite direction. It is controversial in the way that is a sensitive subject to most of the people that are trying to take it on Faith. It is probably why religions started/start to fight each other. Religion and different other belief forms, like LOO, are matter of personal belief and need to believe in something better, more beautiful and geniune. That's what makes it so vulnerable. What if it would come some scientific discovery that clearly contradicts some big subjects discussed in LOO? Would we "believe" the science or would it hurt us so much that we would shut our eyes and ears and stubbornly continue look for proof that would support our faith? Would we be so much different then compare to other religious groups? Vulnerability lies in not knowing if your beautiful hopes and dreams are true. You want them to be true, but can't prove it. So we try then to find information that supports that "truth".
Please continue with your discussion. I didn't mean to interrupt it.
Namaste, brother.
