Eddie r response to Eastern Philosophy Critique
First of all, thanks for responding Eddie, you have interesting concepts to explain, but your perception of what philosophy is I respectfully disagree with. I believe we live in an inherently contradictory world. For night there is day, for white there is black, for a beginning there is an end, that is the dual nature in many respects of planet Earth. War is not advocated by advanced Practicioners of Yoga or any other major religious practice. Only defense is acceptable, and not necessarily in all religions. If contradictions in human nature did not exist then there would be no conflict, no struggle for existence and evolution would stop. This world was made to challenge us on all levels through finding meaning and ultimately making peace with our contradictions. I do not think we become absolutely perfect in an imperfect world, but we do change, transform ourselves and grow hopefully to find peace in our internal and external contradictions. Even philosophy struggles constantly through changes and adjustments,that is the nature of the beast of living in a human culture. Why everything must be resolved to be effective is strange to me, I hope you can discuss more in depth Eddie. Gracias. And I am not Asian, Suki is a nickname short for "Azucar" that my grandmother gave me when I was a little girl. I see Yoga as a scientific practice cause if properly practiced it works for everyone.
