"Destiny: Not being in control does not mean our future is predestined. No one knows the future; the future cannot be known. Anything can happen. The only thing we can be certain of is that it will be a lot like it has been and be balanced.

People may think, if everything is balanced, then it does not matter what you do. That is true except for one thing; you have to overcome the animal mind and live fully alive to get to heaven. If you are, you will go to heaven. If you are not, you are heading for hell.

To be or not to be: That is the question. There are two ways to be right now and in every moment of life, and that is to live or not to live, to live in the present or not live in the present, to be completely alive or not be completely alive, to be with God/life or be with mind/death. Which path are you on?

The only opportunity that matters: It does not matter if you have a free will or not. When it comes to the physical world, it will be balanced, no matter what you do. The only thing that matters is if you know the truth and the life and live in the present. You have that opportunity now, and it is the only opportunity that matters."

"Process of elimination: Sometimes it is easier to know what something is not than to know what something is. To find out the nature of something you cannot understand, you can use the process of elimination. Madame Curie used this process to discover radium. She just took some earth she knew radium was in, and removed everything else she knew was there. The only thing left was radium.

You can do the same thing with life. Just remove everything that you know is untrue, and what is left has to contain the truth.

If you believe in myths, start with them. The truth is in many of them, and you can often find it by the process of elimination.

Extrapolation: Another method of learning the truth about something that cannot be known any other way is by using extrapolation. Example: we do not know for certain that the sun will rise in the morning. All we can know is what has happened in the past, and that nature will keep doing what it has done in the past unless something happens to change it.

We can then project or extrapolate what will happen in the future, or at least know what has the best chance of happening in the future. Using this method, we can be almost certain the sun will rise in the morning. The earth will keep turning, and the sun will keep burning a while longer.

Logic/reason: I used extrapolation and the other methods to evaluate what is true and what is false, to evaluate what is written in this book. If you think I am wrong about something, you should use them to check it for yourself."

No! Any possible meaning to this statement is false.

If you are saying that everything in the class of "Every fact other than what you know to be untrue" is in the class of "true facts" then this is obviously false when you take into account all the things you don't know to be untrue that are untrue.

If you are saying that some thing(s) in the class of "Every fact other than what you know to be untrue" is in the class of "true facts" (which is what I think you are saying) then this is false if there are no true facts.

Why are you bumping this thread? If you get even one convert to your religion on this forum I will report both of you as multis.

I do not want to convert anyone, this is NOT religion.
I just want help people (who are ready) seek the truth, have rational faith in life instead of non rational blind-faith in non-sense myths like physical resurrection.
Feel free to report me as much as you want (but you are the one spamming, I clearly wrote in first post that only people who read the book should talk about it).
Thanks for free bump by the way.
