Interesting that Buddha new the future.. And has good advice.. But that advice leaves out the possibility of a lover bringing the flowers poisoned water.. I’m glad I was not born a flower and that I have the capacity to go and get my own water.. Ive had people say they love me, they have my back. I’ve tasted the poison in their truth…
The devil knew the plan..
“The Holy One who will keep the world in the future will be like this; in the palm of his hands and in the flat of his feet will be the design of a disk, in his side will be a stab wound; and his forehead will have many marks like scars. This Holy One will be the golden boat who will carry you over the cycle of rebirths all the way to the highest heaven {Nirvana}. Do not look for salvation in the old way; there is no salvation in it for sure; Quit the old way. And there will be a new spirit like the light of a lightening bug which will come down from the sky above to live in all of your hearts and you will be victorious over all your enemies. Nobody will be able to destroy you. If you die, you will not come back to be born in this world again. You will go to the highest heaven {Nirvana}.” —Buddha – from the Buddhist Scriptures from Wat Phra Sing in ChiangMai Province. From the book of the district headman, the religious encyclopedia volume 23 book #29.
“At present, science has no satisfactory answer to the question of the origin of life on the earth. Perhaps the appearance of life on the earth is a miracle. Scientists are reluctant to accept that view, but their choices are limited: either life was created on the earth by the will of a being outside the grasp of scientific understanding, or it evolved on our planet spontaneously, through chemical reactions occurring in nonliving matter lying on the surface of the planet. The first theory places the question of the origin of life beyond the reach of scientific inquiry. It is a statement of faith in the power of a Supreme Being not subject to the laws of science. The second theory is also an act of faith. The act of faith consists in assuming that the scientific view of the origin of life is correct, without having concrete evidence to support that belief.” (Robert Jastrow, Ph.D Theoretical Physics, Until the Sun Dies, pp. 62-63, 1977)
“The task before UNESCO…is to help the emergence of a single world culture with its own philosophy and background of ideas and with its own broad purpose.” Huxley spoke of two opposing worldviews — one founded on supernatural creation and the other on atheist evolutionism — confronting each other from the West and the East. In describing them he said, “You may categorize the two philosophies as…individualism versus collectivism or as the American versus the Russian…or as capitalism versus communism, or as Christianity versus Marxism. Can these opposites be reconciled, this antithesis be resolved in a higher synthesis? I believe…this can happen…through the inexorable dialectic of evolution.” —Julian Huxley, the head of UNESCO – 1947 book “UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy.”
