mccoy It is interesting that u should bring up philosophy here. When we come into this life we bring strong samskaras from past incarnations. It may be much more true then we recognize. Brock could very well be bringing in habits and views from the past. When i was a child and thru the years i have often put blankets-like robes- around myself. So often i find myself connected to the Greek period myself-possible an incarnation with Brock.
i can say this with assurance for
myself. Yogananda and Amma have told us about Avatars. It would be quite a doubting Thomas to continuously have no faith in their words and the experiences i have had and many many others who have taken the time to practice and follow the teachings and techniques of such Masters. That is the difference between a disciple like Thomas and John. Thomas said he would not believe unless he put his finger in the hole where Christ had been lanced and Jesus said blessed are those who not seeing yet still believe because of their faith. 'A doubting Thomas is a skeptic who refuses to believe without direct personal experience—a reference to the Apostle Thomas, who refused to believe that the resurrected Jesus had appeared to the ten other apostles, until he could see and feel the wounds received by Jesus on the cross.'
Brock certainly does not have to believe anything if he wishes. If u would like u do not even have to believe that u can stand up and walk to a door. That is up to u. U had to learn that at one point also. Personally though my beliefs were not something real till i proved them to myself. If someone is not willing to take the time to do that why argue the point? Many people make all kinds of assumptions about avatars without having even listened to what they themselves-as avatars- have said about avatars. Let others have their views. i have my own experiences. i do not rely on the skepticism of others to come to conclusions. i have relied on my own personal practice. i need to
prove nothing to others. i have
proved it to myself. If others do not want to spend the time to do this that is their prerogative.
avatar is definitely an illusion.
Sure, Mccoy, I'm happy to explain my line of thinking but my statement is really just how it seems to me. I can't offer a proof. How would you prove or disprove such an idea? But as I said in that post, I have heard some say that if you are "enlightened" then you won't incarnate in any world at all.
