Why are YOU here? The reason I ask is, you express supreme confidence in your repudiation of the quotes you took the time and energy to post. Do please enlighten us with your wisdom.

Either life has meaning, or it doesn’t. More specifically, your life either has meaning to you, or it doesn’t. Greater minds have chosen to ponder the question. If you believe it doesn’t, that’s lovely. It matters nothing to me, aside from making me vaguely curious about why you call yourself “Goodheart.” It clashes with the cynicism oozing from the OP. BTW, my reply has nothing to do with religion or Tolle. I don’t subscribe to any established patriarchal religion, and only know of ET in passing.

Life has meaning because of the stories we believe. That includes a lot of patriarchal crap. rzemanfl Feb 2020 #9

There. You see? ariadne0614 Feb 2020 #16

Interesting. Did pointing that out make you feel superior? tinrobot Feb 2020 #11

Did it MAKE me feel superior to a Tolle fan? Er, no. Goodheart Feb 2020 #12
