I have to admit, I have never seen a man speak so boldly and so extremely sure of what he is stating. These are the reasons why I believe in love, faith, miracles, and most importantly spiritual energy. Through faith and belief we can accomplish this all, we can accomplish divine status, we can become truly and honestly close to god and in the real light, where even technological advancements will fail to insert any sort of darkness, but most importantly will fail to insert darkness in our heart, our soul, and our mind.

I close with the following quote:
God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond.
I have a lot of questions about the claims you make in this paragraph.
Certainty does not imply accuracy.
What is “spiritual energy”?
What do you mean by “divine status”?
Why do you imply that technological advancements “insert darkness in our heart, our soul, and our mind”?
What is our “soul”?
And what evidence do you provide that God exists at all?
The soul is the whole field of the human psyche, the conscious and the unconscious part of what constitutes self.
Not until the cessation of self, does the soul cease to be.
Spiritual energy, is anything that invigorates the soul to move in ways that is harmonious to the calling for self-realization, inherent in all conscious beings.

So basically the soul is the mental operations of the brain. OK.

So spiritual energy isn’t a kind of energy at all. It’s basically ideas that make you do things that are good for yourself.
I think a lot of this kind of spirituality-talk could be simplified and made clearer by a more accurate use of language.
It does not matter as much what makes you do things, as it matters what perception you take on doing.
The soul may be operations within the brain, but the revelation of the true nature of the body, and thus the brain, is also an embrace of mystery.
I like poetry. But I don’t like people who mix up poetry and prose, and attempt to confuse, obscure or bamboozle with language. When talking prose, talk clearly.

No, that’s not correct. The revelation of the true nature of the body is an extinguishing of mystery in favor of knowledge. Mystery only exists while the true nature of things lies unrevealed.

Not true, for a paradox acts upon what is in ways which cannot be reasoned or understood. Knowledge is an extrapolation of the self and the relative sphere of existence, but a very small part of what existence is as a whole. You look a the geometry of something and you think that explains it, but it explains not the truth about being and non-being, but the relationship between self and it’s surroundings according to a particular system of understanding. Such an understanding falls like a deck of cards when faced with the divine dimension.

Er, I don’t think so.
A paradox is something which is both true and false at the same time, like the claim, “All Cretans are liars” said by a Cretan. If it’s true, it’s false and if it’s false, it’s true. Kurt Gödel came up with some interesting features of logic using similar sorts of paradoxical statements, translated appropriately.
But these don’t “act upon what is”, they are statements. And they can be reasoned about and understood, as I and Gödel have done.

That’s either banal or false. It’s banal to say that we will never know everything. It’s false to say that that implies that you somehow know something that humans won’t ever know.
The fact that we are and always will be ignorant of certain things implies nothing about the way the universe is, except that it includes some things that are beyond us. So what?

Perhaps you will have to adjust your method of investigation. You seem like an honest fellow; what happens when you fall asleep? Do you die, temporarily?

Huh? No, I spend most of it in dreamless sleep, and dream as well. I don’t see what this has to do with “absolute knowledge” though. Surely you’re not implying that dreams give us “absolute knowledge” of anything.
(And frankly, not that I know what “absolute knowledge” means, anyhow).
Well, I’m suggesting that there is something which remains, no matter if you’re sleeping or whether you’re awake. I wondered if you have discovered what it is.

I don’t know what you are talking about. Perhaps you can clarify things by saying what you are talking about, in clear terms rather than elliptical prose.
