What I find even more interesting is this situation where two intelligent people can watch the same program and come away with opposite conclusions about its findings. It makes one wonder about the nature of mankind.

Kalvan, in the spirit of reason, I offer that the verb "have" exposes the god of ignorance of our true nature, for how can have their world of thoughts? Is man not the cause, the intent of his thinking, making him also in union with the effects, the manifestation of his thinking?

OK, it's a song lyric. "We exist on one planet" just wouldn't have the same artistic flair. Neither would "but we all perceive that one world differently". Define "god of ignorance".Define "our true nature".A person's brain creates their thoughts, but it is influenced by a number of factors before that happens, e.g., world experience, genetic make-up, sex, education/indoctrination, type of parenting received, health, socio-economic background, native culture, etc., etc., etc. What two of us perceive this world exactly the same way?

You say a person's brains creates their thoughts
as if the brain created itself, as if matter can create matter.
"Our true nature" is just as I said above. There is no separation between you and what is eternal and infinite, Your thoughts of You.

There is nothing eternal about either you or me. But thanks for proving my original point in such an inimitable fashion.

Most men wonder about the nature of mankind, and wonder, and wonder, and wonder, skating back and forth on this horizontal, intellectual thought line of wondering. Very few, however, get up from their horizontal position of intellectual wondering and step into their vertical position of depth contemplation and analysis, the vertical position of transcendence and transformation that takes them beyond their "mankind nature."
You say a person's brains creates their thoughts as if the brain created itself, as if matter can create matter. What caused the visible brain to appear from the invisible brain is the deeper question. And it is my discovery that there is no question a man can ask that doesn't already have an answer.
"God of ignorance" as it relates to the subject matter of this thread is that we believe we have a life, or have thoughts, rather than that we are the life of our thoughts and are the thoughts of our life. It is this belief in having something that are all the gods of things that is the veil that block our vision from seeing that we are the God of ourselves, which is the same thing as saying we are the God of our thoughts.
I reason that you and I are eternal and infinite and not just products of our brain and all its imaginings because of my insight that the brain returns to the dust from whence it came, therefore, there is a hidden Principle of Movement that is the cause of the return, as well as that of its original emergence. Also, if it were true that when the brain dies, Life dies also, then Life would have ended with the death of the brains of the early appearance of the water creatures. Without the return to the principle of "brain" and an expansion of this returning principle, would it not be so that the evolved brain of man would never have happened?
In keeping with the subject matter of this thread, the god of "brain" emanated from the God of the Principle of every flesh thing, including "brain." The god of water, the god of hate, the god of love, the god of rock, the god of mountain, the god of every thing are these flesh things and are the idols man worships [thinks upon] rather than the God who is the invisible Principle of all these visible things. If you can provide me with an insight that explains the arising and returning of the gods of this sense world that is deeper in reasoning wisdom than this, then, by all means, I'm all ears.
