    What do you mean? 

    That's a good way of looking at it. 

    Although Leo means in a different sense. 

    Without a reason, you get either nihilism, or as zigzag's comments- instinctual drives. The latter is a bit more complex but in essence I guess one could put it as our animal essence (i.e human hierarchies comparable to ape hierarchies).

    I like to adopt my own interpretation, but of course at the same time to be open to others' ideas and insights about the subject. 


  2. @Someone here Being God - obviously it has to be related to something beyond daily life, especially the trend (for the lack of a better term) of depression and low self esteem especially in younger generations.. I hate to say this about perhaps it begins with the whole assertiveness thing, making an impact to the world, etc etc. That must be what being God means, if that makes sense. 

    Other people like Carl Jung provided texts that explored the psyche which he said contained the soul, which is in a way related to God. And of course the Neo Advaita people, certain hindu traditions and their many variants.

    What is awakening? For you....... And why there is different opinions? And how do you know if you are awake? 

    Awakening - everything that exists either has a reason for existing (or the opposite).

    I don't know which one is true. My guess is that constant investigation and discovery would eventually lead to an answer (kinda like the invention of penicilin or whatever).

    People are bound to believe different things based on their own contexts and predilections, I guess.
