Atheists vs Law of One-ers

[anagogy]

My friend had direct experience of being out of body and flying around, but he still dismisses it as workings of the brain.

Fascinating isn't it?  The absolutely insane amount of mental gymnastics a materialist atheist will go to explain away an obviously metaphysical event.  But I can't really blame them, as they, just like someone raised to be a fanatical religious acolyte, have been absolutely brainwashed by our culture to believe what the "experts" tell them to believe.  It's ironic that they cannot see how much they simply accept without ANY recourse to real evidence.  In some ways, it is even more than a fundamentalist religious zealot.  Everybody has their blind spots, I suppose.  I know I have my own.

The problem is: a materialist atheist simply cannot, and willfully will repel, the truth that there are actual things in this world, that are in *no way* physical, and yet, are STILL, nevertheless REAL.

Also, I often find, when probing a little bit deeper into their life perspectives, that they actually *disfavor* the idea of eternal existence.  Their sense of identity is rooted in matter, and they won't give it up without a fight.

But if people are not ready to wake up, let them get their rest I say.  Until you see their rest turn to nightmares, let them dream their dream.  Perhaps they need it.
