Viharnik, you probably realize that many can hide years. That's how it is - looks aren't everything either. Even my dog hides them. The other day some dog vet gave him one year, in reality he counts almost 8.
What will you say about chakras, vibrations, glands, meditations, spiritual drainages, etc.? Or some stone that looks millions of years old, and in the end they find out they could strike a whole row of zeros from it, or vice versa? The fact is that in the universe all matter is constantly grinding, disappearing and being born/appearing. Energy is simply indestructible, Einstein proved that with his theory of relativity. So what? Do we want to claim now that every thing or creature has some spirit, soul etc., that everything is constantly just traveling somewhere, developing and what else? We claim that because of the cycle of world beliefs, or because energy is indestructible? Or precisely because humans can't grasp certain things and need some answer so that their life has meaning? Do you know how many different theosophical explanations have circulated and still circulate around the world in the past and present? Why? Because people want to complicate simple things to sound deep, spiritual, learned and I don't know what all, most often because of subjective aspirations or desire to lead others, dominate etc. All that is human cunning, politics, -desire for power. And they call that -spirituality.
We all probably realize well that there are even infinitely more possibilities of explanation available than exist at this moment. Everyone can interpret things their own way and completely differently from others. And where do we end up then? Do we all have it right? Are there a million truths, or just one? Or are there really millions of philosophies?
I live 45 years from conception, but of course I realize a bit less.. That's it. I don't credit myself more than that, otherwise I'd think I'm God.
You know that: "dust you are and to dust..."
A strange sentence would sound: "spirit you are and to spirit you return".
I apologize for using way too much space for debates unnecessary for me and many others, but I felt somehow challenged.
My number then- 44.
