Re: Let's Talk about Hobbies.
"is any human act more mysterious (and more beautiful) than prayer?" - philip zaleski
we as human beings have an innate sense of the divine (i.e. the ineffable - that which fills us with speechless awe and wonder). throughout our collective history we have made it a priority to grasp at and understand the world around us. but more importantly, we have tried to understand our inner-world. by inner-world i mean what drives our consciousness, thoughts, desires, etc. i just feel that getting in tune with, or tapping into, our spiritual side is something that is worth doing. the various faith traditions that exist today have vast, vast reservoirs of knowledge that should be studied and practiced/applied with diligence. personally, it fills me with utmost joy to read/hear about the different ways that people have developed in "practicing the presence of god." have no doubt about it: humankind's deepest desire is happiness. and i believe that one of religion's main functions is to promote a way for us to create happiness!

Re: Let's Talk about Hobbies.
I'm sure he's referring to a "True" happiness, one void of all stress, pain, suffering and anything else that promotes negative emotions. THIS is something mortal humans can't achieve. But we've settled on a level of happiness that is enough to quell pain and give humans a life to live, and for reason.

Just because stress exists does not warrant being anti-happy as a general. True happiness does not necessarily represent a constant happiness, as our emotional spectrum would not allow that, even if you are happy a majority of the time there is bound to be something troubling every once in a while. I would say true happiness is the level at which you ARE happy most of the time and can accept faults and limitations at face-value. I think that too many people take the minimum value for what they have achieved because they have not reached this point of acceptance yet. Thus, it is this peak for an individual warranting "True" happiness.

I've been reading this book The Monk and the Philosopher: A Father and Son Discuss the Meaning of Life. There's a chapter wherein they talk about the existence of evil. In Buddhism, the belief is that the fundamental nature of all living beings is perfect...and this "perfection is always there, deep within us, even when it's hidden from sight by ignorance, desire and hatred." Evil is thought to have no more existence than a mistake. The Absolute Truth, they claim, is that the opposition between good and bad doesn't really exist. Nonduality is the term for this. Hardly. What I've said is that there exists in religions long-standing methods which put us on a paths that lead us toward understanding our own inner peace. Hermits, monks, nuns, and the like aren't living in isolation from the world just to ignore the world. They are trying to cultivate this true inner perfection in a way that can (hopefully) ultimately help the other 6 billion people. I believe that Buddhism has developed one of the strongest contemplative traditions. However Christianity also has a powerful tradition of mysticism (read Thomas Merton). Even the Muslim religion of Islam provides a way. The very name "Islam" is derived from an Arabic word meaning "to be safe," "peace/purity," "obedience/submission to god." Quote:
I must confess that I feel a bit hypocritical because out of all the reading concerning meditation and prayer...I never do such things! That is, in the formal way that religions have taught. Yet the spiritual reading that I have done has set in me a mode of contemplation which I think is imparative to becoming a decent human.
