[Faith-talk] Eastern Religions

[Brandon Olivares via Faith-talk]

Hello,

I’ve been reading with interest the various thoughts posted here. However, my own philosophy is in line with eastern thinking, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. I don’t identify with any one religion, because I believe that a religion is just a series of labels that in the process of self realization, we have to one day surpass anyway. But I do read the writings of some of the masters. I myself believe in reincarnation and karma, which are staples of eastern religions, as well as non-duality, which is the believe that all things are one substance— that there is neither good nor evil, right nor wrong, being nor non-being, but the Truth includes and surpasses all of these man-made polarities.

Anyway, I just want to see if there is anyone here who has similar beliefs, or if there might be an interest in discussion of this sort of philosophy.

Thanks,
Brandon
