I value Arach’s thoughts and posts, but i am confused as to who he is talking about. I cannot imagine a regular school where students have conflict between religion and science in a SCIENCE class. He does not have to respond but if he offers information somebody is going to ask. It is a curious thing.
The witch hunt you and Tzaph are engaged in trying to misuse what Arach said to indict him for talking about religion in science class which is NOT what he ever said. Tzaph is particularly disingenuous and deceptive in trying to paint that particular picture. Both of you need to back off. He is not your enemy but you are both acting like your own worst enemies. You are doing your reputations and your beliefs no good whatsoever. Stop it.

Too many navel-gazers speak in code instead of using plain words that most understand.

A similar condition is found in snake-oil, used-car, and insurance salespeople, as well as preachers, politicians, despots, and cult leaders.

Just sayin'.

You are totally mischaracterizing this, nobody is trying to do anything to Arach. He always has interesting things to say. But it is a curious thing about people always asking him things and how he sets them right. And then he said he is a science teacher. He can choose to be clear instead of mysterious. In any case he does not owe anyone any answers. He can be inscrutable as always. Like Advaita which he totally gets unlike you.

Thanks, but its ok.

I shy away from saying my credentials because i love when people tell me I am wrong or its not science, or go to the science forum. That tells me right away they don't know what they are talking about. But boy do they love telling me I am wrong. it kind of makes me laugh.

we would love to hear "your credentials" (or anyone's) with regards to the thread topic which is practice of non-duality / Advaita in daily life, specifically in these areas, from the opening post:

How long have you been studying, learning the philosophy?
When and how did you first get interested?
Do you pray? Do you pray to a deity?
How is your meditation going? Are you trying to reach something?
Do you feel practicing/learning has had an effect on you?

bold above, i agree. He shows a sincere interest in discussing many and varied elements, and genuinely engages in discussion. Those are positive contributions to the forum, and to this thread. We're all here because we are interested in the topic in one way or another, and his presence enhances the discussion for all.
