"Yes Joy, reality is in a continuous state of change.  As such, there is little perfection to be found here unless you define it in terms of continuous change - but that wouldn't make much sense.  Perfection that changes from one…"

Joy B Tobin replied to giordio cieszkowski's discussion 'there is a karmic effect' version A
"Actually we change reality all the time... and sometimes it changes without our help. I don't necessarily think that it's easy to change perceptions and paradigms, but it is one area in which ritual helps a great deal.  In that…"

Kernel John replied to giordio cieszkowski's discussion 'there is a karmic effect' version A
"We cannot change reality - only our perception of it. You provided a great example of what happens when one changes their perception - even when it is not out of necessity. I also here you say that it was not difficult to change your perception or t…"

"Perhaps there is some similarity there.  Although it wasn't preceded by a sense of guilt, just the sense of things going wrong and being unable to do anything about it.  In many ways I feel that it was a shift of focus from…"

"Hey Joy, Sounds like you forgave yourself.  My Christian friends say that when they accepted the forgiveness of Jesus (who evidently died-alive for our sins . . . ), they felt relieved or in a state of release or state of grace. Are you…"

dattaswami replied to giordio cieszkowski's discussion 'there is a karmic effect' version A
"The human being is entangled in the cycle of deeds called as karma chakra. The thought in the mind is the seed, which grows and generates action. The action certainly gives its result. Even if you escape the result of your action in this world you…"

Kernel John replied to giordio cieszkowski's discussion 'there is a karmic effect' version A
"Great question.  Perhaps karma (meaning action) can be thought of as ripples or vibrations that are sent out by the individual to later return or be attracted to the address of origin.  The Law of Karma (sowing/reaping, reciprocity etc.),…"

Samuel the Lamanite replied to giordio cieszkowski's discussion 'there is a karmic effect' version A
"Would it be the opinion of the members that the cause/effect process of Karma is stored in the individual's consciousness or something "other" like the Akashic Record or a Jungian collective unconscious?  "

Samuel the Lamanite replied to giordio cieszkowski's discussion Polytheism
"Interesting discussion.  I'm working on a belief module on the Mormon doctrine of "plurality of Gods."  You all might find that one an enjoyable read."

Kernel John replied to giordio cieszkowski's discussion in religion 10% certainty about an idea is the best you can get

Yasha Hartberg replied to giordio cieszkowski's discussion religion can be investigated scientifically, logically
"Glad to have the clarification.  I must admit I thought it rather odd to have the first sense I mentioned stated as a belief module since it represents an entire field of scholarly study.  That wouldn't preclude it from being a…"
