They are logical Truths, as opposed to empirical "truths". Why do you think a person must be deluded about this to some extent? Quote:

He is timeless in that he realizes his own infinite nature and still in that his mind is solid as a rock whereas everyone else's mind is torn by desire and emotion. There is much we can learn from this person, but the greatest teacher of all is The Infinite from which all things came. Quote:

It's just a matter of choosing the path we take wisely. Why do you think perfection is not attainable, and why would it be difficult to reconcile the practicalities of life with enlightenment? |
We are human with so many emotions and temptations but I think if we just try a little bit each day to be less and less selfish just trying everyday is a positive energy that benefits all. (LOL I never thought I would be saying that).
