I'm Interviewing Peter Ralston - Gathering Questions

[CoolDreamThanks]

• Why? Why is this dream experience occurring?
• Do you believe that people right now are walking around in China, having their own experience? Or is life exactly like a dream? Meaning, when you leave a place, it stops existing. 
• How do you stop the cycle of reincarnation? Can an insight or an enlightenment experience cut off the cycle of reincarnation? What role does desire play in this equation? Perhaps we are dreaming because we have desires for the world, or for the personal self? 
• Do you believe that God created this dream? How can a loving, eternal, perfect being create something temporary, decaying, full of suffering and pain? 
• Why is there suffering? Fundamentally, why did we or God choose to embark on this journey that is so painful? Why was the universe created? What is the fundamental purpose of form?

No.

Absolute truth doesn’t demand or require your, our, truth.

Why are you answering? BTW That doesn't address the question. Let me dumb it down a bit. Is the "experience" of reality an illusion? @Mellowmarsh PLs don't answer

Hey Guys,

 

In a few days I will be doing a one on one interview with Peter Ralston on my YouTube channel, @LionsHeartWisdom 

 

I wanted to come here to gather some questions you guys might have or things you feel need clarification. I've already come up with a pretty distilled list of topics and (full honesty) I don't see myself changing it much but more input wouldn't hurt.

 

Please note:

-This is for direct questions to Ralston about HIS work and books, any questions regarding "Leo said this, you said that" will be OMITTED 

-Try not to give questions that are just wanting some straight up answer to a metaphysical question, those won't go anywhere with Ralston (Ie, Is God Love? What is a chakra?) try to provide questions that Ralston can actually direct you to an answer for within your own experience or based on his work.

 

So far, i've got the topics of 

 

-Mastery/Purpose

-Suffering

-self, Self and Awakening 

-Infinity, Space, Time

-Social World (self, other, language)

-Love

-Communication and Relationships

 

disclaimer; I can’t promise to ask every question, but I’ll be reading everything to help refine the depth and direction of the conversation-

 

Thanks, with Love!

Best practice to surrender the body and mind or simply be.

Good stuff guys, thank you all. I'll take all this into consideration for the interview. Much love

Obviously, there will need to be a flow to the structure of your conversation - so naturally not all questions will be attended to. Organically it might not even cover all questions and could reveal something totally different. What a great opportunity !
