The Categorical Imperative VS Higher Moral Duty

In my last post, I approached the subject of lying. I would say that lying is sometimes absolutely necessary to oppose evil, which is allowed by the Golden Rule, but Immanuel Kant’s Categorical Imperative is a complete prohibition against lying, for any reason whatsoever. To Kant, telling the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Disaster of the Categorical Imperative, Explained (Part 1)

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) wrote a trilogy of books concerning the qualities of human thought. In my last post, I focused on the first book, Critique of Pure Reason, in which Kant made some absurd statements regarding knowledge and faith, upon which I conducted my own “critique” of Kant’s statements,...

You Kan’t Explain Everything, Mein Herr Kant

The many-faceted blogger with impressive knowledge, our friend Anibanerjee, has turned his attention to philosopher Immanuel Kant. I once studied Kant myself, and wrote my findings as part of a book. I think Kant did more harm than good, leading his followers on a wild goose chase of false morality,... Sign in to see full entry.

Mahatma Gandhi: With All Due Respect, He Just Got Lucky

In the classic moral confrontation where evil persons stalk and attack good persons and their possessions, the good person has three choices: surrender, run, or fight. In the first two choices, the evil person's attack has succeeded and evil has been reinforced, rewarded, and strengthened, while... Sign in to see full entry.

The Perishables-Part 2: "Star Wars" Promotes A Balance Of Evil

This tragic idea of “balance” between Good and Evil is perhaps the greatest philosophical, moral and spiritual folly in the universe, as I tried to explain in Part 1. But it permeates our culture and religion. The best current example is the wildly popular “Star Wars” saga, with it's latest movie... Sign in to see full entry.

The Perishables: Good, Evil, and the Folly of Balance- Part 1

I would hope that we could all agree that good and evil, love and hate are products of living beings. These moral attributes do not enjoy an existence on their own, apart from living beings. There is no glow of goodness permeating the cosmos, there is no dark cloud of persistent evil threatening us... Sign in to see full entry.

Relief of Chronic Pain… From Past Lives

Have you ever had a nagging pain, that won’t go away, but it keeps hurting you or it gets worse? You cannot bend over, you cannot lift your child into your arms, you cannot drive a car, you cannot walk more than a few steps without extreme pain. You go to the doctor, and they prescribe a powerful... Sign in to see full entry.

Blockage Of Our Memories: Blessing, Curse, Nature, or Crime?

My presentation of The Law Of One, and its tragic errors, is hereby interrupted. I was just about to post the next article on The Law Of One, after much research and anticipation, but something else has come up. So I must return to The Law Of One later, as it is very important and timely, in the... Sign in to see full entry.

THE LAW OF ONE, OR LAW OF NONE? Part 1

There was an important series of four books written in the 1980’s, called “The RA Material, by RA, an humble messenger of The Law of One”. The human authors of these amazing books chose to name RA as the author, instead of themselves, because the books’ main purpose was to present the prolific... Sign in to see full entry.

An Analysis of Krishna, Part 2

Before we continue a discussion of Lord Krishna and Arjuna, the great warrior, we should understand some of the history of India before this time. The Bhagavad Gita was written in Sanskrit in about 500 BC. But you must realize, the essential events in India before this epic reach far back into... Sign in to see full entry.
