The phrase "Life goes into the future (see death), and thinking goes back into the past (see birth)" highlights a fundamental contrast between the linear progression of life and the retrospective nature of thought. Life, in its biological sense, moves forward, ultimately ending in death. Thinking, on the other hand, allows us to revisit past experiences, drawing on memories of our birth and everything that followed.
Here's a breakdown:
Life's forward movement:
Life, as a biological process, is inherently directed towards the future. Birth is the starting point, and death is the inevitable end. This is a continuous, irreversible flow, according to some philosophers and religious texts.
Thinking's retrospective nature:
While we can't change the past, our thoughts allow us to revisit it. We can recall our birth, childhood, and all subsequent events. This ability to reflect on the past is a key aspect of our consciousness.
The quote suggests that while life moves in one direction, our minds have the capacity to explore and understand both the past and the future, even if we cannot alter the past or fully control the future.

Aus dem Englischen übersetzt-Subhūti war einer der zehn Hauptschüler Buddhas. Im Theravada-Buddhismus gilt er als der Schüler, der vor allem „Geschenke verdient“ und „abgeschieden und in Frieden lebte“. Im Mahayana-Buddhismus gilt er als führend im Verständnis der Leerheit. Wikipedia (Englisch)

The statement that "Christianity kills the sexual energy, the life energy, and the emotional energy" is a generalization and not a universally accepted view within Christianity. While some branches or interpretations of Christianity may emphasize certain ascetic practices or doctrines that downplay or restrict physical or emotional expression, others see a healthy integration of physical, emotional, and spiritual life as essential.
Here's a more nuanced perspective:
Different Christian Perspectives:
Asceticism:
Some Christian traditions, like monasticism, have historically emphasized renouncing worldly pleasures, including sexual activity, to focus on spiritual pursuits. This can be seen as a way to channel energy towards God and spiritual growth.
Emphasis on Purity:
Many Christians believe that sexual activity should be reserved for marriage between a man and a woman and that sexual purity is important for both physical and spiritual well-being.
Positive View of Sexuality:
Many Christians recognize that God created sexuality and that it can be a beautiful and fulfilling aspect of human life within the context of marriage. They see the expression of sexuality as part of God's design for human flourishing.
Integration of Body and Spirit:
Some Christians emphasize that the body is not inherently evil and that the spiritual life should not come at the expense of physical and emotional health. They believe that God cares about all aspects of a person's life.
Beyond the Statement:
The claim that Christianity "kills life energy" is also a simplification. Many Christians find that their faith brings them a sense of purpose, hope, and strength to face life's challenges. They find meaning in serving others, pursuing justice, and developing their gifts and talents.
It's important to understand that Christianity is a diverse faith with various interpretations and practices. While some individuals may experience Christianity in ways that align with the statement, others may find it to be a source of great joy, fulfillment, and positive energy.

The idea that people believe in God because they can't accept the universe's self-existence is a simplification. While some may find the concept of a self-existent universe difficult to grasp, leading them to believe in a creator, this is not the only reason for religious belief. Many factors contribute to faith, including cultural and personal experiences, philosophical arguments, and the comfort and community that religion provides.
Here's a more nuanced perspective:
The Argument from First Cause:
Some theists believe that everything must have a cause, and ultimately, the universe itself must have a cause, which they identify with God.
The Problem of Infinite Regression:
If everything has a cause, then what caused God? Some argue that God, being eternal and uncaused, is the ultimate cause.
The Argument from Design:
The complexity and order of the universe are seen by some as evidence of intelligent design, suggesting a divine creator.
Personal and Cultural Influences:
Religious beliefs are often deeply rooted in personal experiences, family traditions, and cultural contexts.
The Role of Faith:
Many religious beliefs are based on faith, which involves trust and acceptance without requiring empirical proof.
It's important to recognize that atheism and theism are complex viewpoints with various arguments and motivations.
