Pantheism is mere philosophy.

Why should I consider the biofield and chakras though, when there is no evidence they exist?

How do you know whether any other planet exist?

If we only believe what we see then why do we have teachers ?!?!!?!?

Did you reply to the right post there?

AHH Yes You're one of those here who thinks that we should ALL do & say as YOU do & if YOU don't get it it must be wrong.
Nuff said !!!

Not at all trippmonkey. people are free to think, believe and post what they want and we are all free to discuss it. I genuinely couldn't see that you were replying to me and what I actually wrote.

If you meant we shouldn't discount chakra and biofield just because there isn't any evidence for them then fine. But my point was that Sriram put them forward to support the idea of emotions etc actually emanating from the heart and you can't really use something for which there is no evidence to support something else for which there is no evidence. That was my point.

Hi everyone,

We use the word 'heart' to refer to our feelings because the feelings actually exist in the heart chakra (anahata).  Similarly with jealousy in the solar plexus chakra and fear in the navel chakra and so on.

When the heart chakra is fed with positive energy it expands and we feel fulfilled and happy. If it is not fed it becomes depleted and small, we feel deprived and unhappy. 

The activities of these energies that surround us initiate corresponding chemical activity in the body which responds accordingly. 

Just some thoughts.

Sriram
