"He who renouncing all activities, who is free of all the limitations of time, space and direction, worships his own Atman which is present everywhere, which is the destroyer of heat and cold, which is Bliss-Eternal and stainless, becomes All-knowing and All-pervading and attains thereafter Immortality."

>>9885686
A culmination of the two, but primarily Eastern because it's much more logical within the universal realm. God is matter, Jesus is my body and unconscious. Jesus suffers for my sins until I accept him in, then I am welcome to the true kingdom of heaven, unshackled from physicality.

Couldn't be more wrong

>>9887320
It's not about the conventional standard of Jesus. Can you literally not read? I said it not once sentence before that statement that it is my interpretation of Jesus.

>>9887345
And it is a wrong interpretation. But leave it to a sociomoronic with sympathies for the East to thing his opinion supersedes the spirit

>>9887353
I believe you're too narrow minded to see the synergy of my interpretations to the true ideologies of Christ and god. I believe you're an egomaniac who believes that people can't have a personal faith because the big book calls them heretics. I think you need to open your mind to concept of self and stop seeing it so narrowly. You see and love thy neighbor; I see and love thyself. You separate the two into different things, when in my mind they are identical. Get over yourself and go chastise people irl, unless you're too cowardly to be honest with people outside anonymity.

There is no such thing as a "personal faith", there is the truth and there is the untruth. This subversion of reason and objectivity is why the East has long been the effeminate land of cuckolds and whores for the West.

>>9887421
I'm sure you're well loved by those around you. Else you're hiding your true self. It's okay, word for word following of the big book makes you believe in being ashamed of yourself. Good luck with your life, brother. May you truly be happy.

Eastern philosophy is better now. Because Eastern philosophy took everything from the West, while the West ignored everything from the East.

>>9887963
Thats not even remotely true, its more like we took everything worth taking from the East in the 18th-19th century

>>9887975
There were some /fringe/ and esoteric schools of thought of course, but in reality, practical and mainstream philosophy wasn't adapted in the West.

The most obvious benefit of eastern philosophy in my opinion, is Neoconfucian approach to religion and state.
Also Confucian, pragmatic and farsighted approach to family and societal ethics. Even the Art of War, a famous and admired work, entirely neglected.

>>9887998
>wasn't adapted
Right, it was rejected. Because it sucks.
Modern China clearly has a very healthy Neo/coconfucian approach to religion, state, and societal ethics.

It was always shit, but you can't have a discussion about anything now without insecure American kids trying to claim random things as their own personal achievements.

What's the state of Eastern philosophy?

Why does it seem like they are still stuck with guys a thousand years old.

The West too has it's ancient one's: the Greeks and Romans. But we also have modern giants.

Well, Chinese civilization was in decay since 18th century, and modern times aren't big on philosophy anywhere.
The rest were colonies.
Japan never had much.

>>9888067
You mean this website built on Japanese software, founded to discuss Japanese culture and owned by a Japanese man?

>>9888076
Japan is a nation that learned to respect and serve its white betters. I wouldn't call them true Westerners yet if they ever will be but they are Eastlets that learned.

Do you realise how much more difficult an undertaking landing multiple men on the moon and bringing them back alive is? Do you realise how much further the moons is than 'space'?

>>9888142
>Americans thinking putting a man on the moon means anything

The space race was a dick measuring contest and is literally meaningless.

>>9888142
It is also an utterly and completely useless endeavour. Don't forget that the soviets have also landed the first Lunar satellite, probe and lander.

Eastern philosophy is only good to be studied retrospectively in comparison to its infinitely superior western counter part.

Greece got fucked by hairy turks , Rome got fucked by snow niggers, China got fucked by illiterate mongols , Japan got fucked by degenerate burgers

I would take it as a sign that "philosophy" is just mental masturbation to keep you busy from remembering you're an animal that obey to basic instincts

philosophy is literally useless. especially metaphysical shit like kant or hegel.

>>9888364
what about Italy and greece who are supposed to be the gods of philosophy but are completely irrelevant nowadays on an international scale

and what about America which is the most important country in the world despite having no culture or literature beside fiction and (dumb) fantasy stuff ?

>>9888375
explain

I can respect an architect who make beautiful cathedrals or a scientist who discover something that improve the life of millions but philosophy seems like completely useless to me

in french we say "enculer les mouches" translated to "fucking the flies" which means a completely sterile activity. I think it suits philosophy well especially kant
