Contributor: “Life is intelligent, not the “creation”. there is no proofe that there ever was a “creation”. What is the beginning of a tree? The seed. From where does it come? The tree “before”. there is no beginning & end of life. What vedanta calls consciousness could be just life itself. Living beings die, but life continues. there is no proof that life is an illusion. Vedanta is an interpretation from a religion called hinduism. Language, religions, beliefs like vedanta are not the ultimate truth. Language is only for conditioning us human beings. Prove to me, here and now, that this world is not real. Without using thoughts, logic & beliefs. Logic is not truth. Logic is an opinion that sounds right based on my worldview, which could be completely wrong. Can someone who is very deep in Vedanta answer honestly to my concerns
James: Vedanta is a means of Self knowledge. It reveals the fact that there is only one unborn whole and complete always-satisfied ever-free self and that you are it.
How does it do that? It removes the ignorance of this fact. If you are a sincere person and want to know more you can click the New to Vedanta link on the home page of shiningworld.com and follow the link. There is an introductory, intermediate and advanced course. It seems you are not new but it is clear that you are not well-informed about Vedanta. There is some knowledge in your statements mixed with some ignorance. So you should forget everything you know about spiritiuality and start at the beginning.
If you want to speak to James who has been teaching Vedanta successfully for 50 years you can make a donation fo ShiningWorld and schedule a Zoom chat and he can assess your qualifications and advise you how to proceed after listening to the story of your seeking. If what he says doesn’t make sense, then keep seeking. If you get a clear picture of Vedanta, which is not a Hindu religion, your seeking will stop and you will start to grow in freedom and love.
