Who said I was an Atheist?

I never did.

Are you talking to somebody else?

I have the capacity for spiritual thought... and sometimes I entertain such thoughts... but I do my best to never claim something is real unless it has been proven.

SPIRITUALity and IMAG(E)ination, by their very definitions, both live in the mind... and not in the tangible world.

See? You try to blame me for your interpretation...

As you say, I said: "Anything real, has been realized, anything imagined, can be!"
... you can read this as you like, but there is no reason you should leave out the fact that what I am saying, also could be interpreted as; Anything that is imagined can be realized, even if only as pure imagination! ...

However, I usually do not explain like this, cause it might limit what I said, as other find other interpretations.. But, it is almost sad to see you be hung up in only one as if that is what I intended to say..

Reason I use one-liners like that, is cause it would take a small book to explain every aspect of it..

:monkeydance:






Yeah... I see what you are saying... sorry I dissed your post without acknowledging your point.

I owe you a response.

I think we both interpreted your quote in quite the same way... but I too was skipping some points because this IS a difficult topic to discuss clearly.

Anything CAN exist in the imagination. I agree completely. And in THAT sense... even GOD undeniably exists.

But...

Your quote *can be* :smirk: misleading.

Far too many people today think the phrase, "Create your own reality" means, "If you believe in something hard enough, it will become true and real."

eg: "The Secret"





p.s. Don't tell me I'm the only one here, who has mistakenly imagined some American 20-something, who can't spell or write in his OWN language, to be the average Shroomerite.

Again Gomp, my sincerest apologies.
