Dear yuyutsu,

That is the second most confusing thing anyone has ever said to me.

Dear Mr. Opinion,

Well, I try to simplify as much as I can:

What philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists and historians consider to be "religious" is generally not religious at all, but either mistaken for religion or deliberately contrived as religion.

Yuyutsu wrote:

"....Whichever religion you choose, the path to God starts with restraints, in other words, it places limits on materialism so that your life and your energy can be diverted towards God..."

You ain't seen nothing yet, Mr Opinion.

Yuyutsu has regaled us many times with the fact that "we" are in fact "God".

So it's interesting that he is presently suggesting ways for us to get to God.

I'm sure he'll enlighten us further any time now.

Dear Poirot,

I cannot enlighten you, how less so against your own inclinations: if you want to be enlightened then you need to make the effort yourself and yes, restraining your behaviour, speech and thoughts (as explained by the clip on Yama which I provided earlier) is the first step.

Not so fast Yuyutsu.

The "enlightenment" to which I referred pertained your statement about finding a path to God.

I know you're extremely adept at waffling your way in and out of corners into which you back yourself...but can you explain why we are required (if we are so inclined) to make our way towards God - when (as you have stated in the past) we already "are" God?

Dear Poirot,

What you have from me is only theoretical knowledge, that you are God, that's all I can give you, but regardless whether you believe me or not, at the moment this is not your actual experience, right?

Enlightenment does not change who you are, but it can change your experience, permanently so.

When you go to a restaurant, are you content with just seeing the menu? That's fine if you do, but if you rather have actual food on your plate and in your mouth, then you need to pay for it.
