[QUOTE="Flugelbinder, post: 241272, member: 18582"] Wow guys!!! Great thread! Why did I have to go!?... I have to agree, and since we´re talking of underlying lies and absolute truths, I´ll give a simple example of an undeniable truth which everyone lies about... We all know that the Sun doesn´t rise, neither does the Sun set, yet we all lie, consciously, almost everyday about it... We, humans, are the liars, or better put, our brains are the liars and that´s why we try to capture - or edit - something different than what it´s really there... Because we - our brains - find the true image dull... Now an off-topic, not so off this time... Speaking of true enlightment, Budah is said to have given a silent sermon once, during which he held up a flower and simply gazed at it. After a while, a monk who´s name I don´t recall, began to smile. He is said to have been the only one who had understood the sermon. According to the legend, that smile - or enlighment, or realization - was handed down by some 28 sucessive masters and later became the origin of Zen... Eckhardt Tolle, A New Earth [/QUOTE]
