I know what the Philosopher's Stone is. Take some guesses, i'll provide clues.

Well that is something that will occur but is not the point of the stone. I will soon share, in bold, my "answer" as promised.

When one reaches a proper state of meditation their body will be asleep but the mind is always on, one will become aware that it never shuts off. It is uncomfortable at first to to expectations of sleep but the waking state becomes normal, as if the body and mind both had healthful rest.

And you know when people do that? What are they doing crossing their eyes? The word has been used once in this thread already, again will help tie this all together.

gosh OP

u just watched kubrick and now you give riddles?
monolith means there a symbol of alien presence that interrupted human evolution. its a symbol that we were "helped", that we were genetically manipulated.

also as u see monolith later in a movie, where it kills astronauts due to its higher vibration, is a reference what will happen when one tries to research something he doesnt understand or not ready for. as kid is playing with matches. something not to be touched by our scientific knowledge.

in the end we will see monolith again. its in the room where time dissapeares. its the answer that there is no time and there is no room really.

see it as a symbol of divine presence. see it as something you are not ready to comprehend.

I had similar feelings about the movie, especially when the characters were on the moon and tried to interact with the monolith. I though it was profound and you phrased it well, but perhaps the monolith only reflected the energy that came towards it thus hurting the people. Curiosity could be of a desire to understand but from which point of intentions - good or bad?

The philosopher's stone is Christ, He turns water into wine and lead into gold. It's a spiritual concept

when u say that philosophers stone is black maybe the answer is : afroamerican?

We make ourselves bound to our ego. God did not force us. We can trace everything back to being one with God, ego and all. God made this realm for our ego, that is for our own good!

You do have a duty towards the world and all beings, we should be "our brother's keeper", meaning we are responsible for the well-being of all. That is selfless and keeps the world balanced and people joyful, happy, content.

My quick story;
Before everything. God as a man. God decided to walk "over there". God walks over there. Then God decides to walk "over there". God walks over there. Then God turns around and sees himself looking back at himself. Then this "God" becomes confused, "Is that me or am i that"? Well now, God, the one true God, he only moved once and remained standing still, he never had desire to move again. It was the desire to move and literally step out in consciousness away from the one true God. God is all-knowing of himself so he was not worried. The ego which stepped out of God, because it desired to move more, it became unsure of itself, it was confused. For this expression of God did he create the universe that it may come back to realizing itself as one with the true God, and not need to worry or fear.
It could be explained better.

OP keep in mind Buddha himself wasnt a buddhist. he was a man like you or me. he never asked someone to follow him.
the thing that great knowledge is turned into monotheistic religion is last what he wanted. by obeying something you will give away your power. that is real agenda with every religion.

i think that u saying that stone is black due to that u watched kubricks 2001 and monolith was there black, i think that is huge misconception. it could have been pink there. or with zebra tripes. or with navyblue polka dots.

it doesnt matter what it looks like. it matters what it does.

making your two eyes into one?

Let me take a swing O.P and not trying to offend anyone here so don't be bashing on me.

Would your P.S happen to be Jesus Christ?

I think you are wrong about religion being an agenda. I think you are right about where you are coming from in regards to religion being an agenda to take our power from us. It is a tool to bring about the good in us. If we fail to understand it that is due to our own ignorance, yet among many religions do many still become enlightened. Religion is but a stepping stone, it is derived from the truth of the enlightened masters and to such goodness the spirit of God, which dwells within us, is naturally attracted to himself, to truth, to goodness, to love.

Something to ponder: Could Jesus not be a Christian? Could Buddha not be a Buddhist? These adjectives entail the qualities of those beings. It is like saying Jesus is not Godly or not Godlike, while he is all the qualities of God. I think it is ok to say Jesus was Christian, or Christ-like, when he himself was Christ, the Messiah, and Buddha Buddhist, like the Buddha that is he.

Could it also be Bowman, who was deep in space, alone, also entered a trance, focusing on the philosopher's stone (monolith) of the mind?

remember when bowman is alone in rocket and flies through the colourful dimensions?

Thats where he enters into astral realm. ive seen it like that too, ive been there too.

ok lets take this movie into pieces.
Symbolically:

Space rocket is nothing more than a vessel, the body of human being.
Bowman is SOUL not knowing yet that he is HIS true self.
HAL is MIND that tries to control everything. therefore its artificial and here i see Kubricks hidden message that our mind is genetically modified. think about junk-dna, do research about it - we were modified by some alien agenda.
MIND (HAL) tries to kill Bowman to get absolute control, but Bowman wins. he turns off his mind.
After that he can enter into astral to feel the true answers which is very difficult to describe.

its a story of how to turn off ur mind to see the truth.

yes but we become Christ when we take Gods heart and thoughts as Jesus...

and Jesus has given us all He received from the Father

but why are we talking like Jesus is not here,He is alive and present

God's bride is black

Song of Solomon

I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

The bride, the church, is the one transformed through the stone, the Cornerstone, the Stone that was rejected, the Stone that will crush all men.
There's a transmutation involved. The ancients who knew nothing of Christ, nevertheless had esoteric knowledge of Him just because there is in mankind, a yearning and a quest for the spiritual.

the church is refined, gold from lead

You are correct. Jesus rid himself of his ego and realized himself as God - Avatar. He said we may do the same, and greater works we will do. BUT, HOW to get rid of the ego! That is what the philosopher's stone, among other factors of meditation, can help us to achieve.

so God basically refuses to stay in a position as satan,and this reality is the result of that struggle?

what are your thoughts on this if i might ask

Please explain in plain terms your understanding of the philosophers stone and how that knowledge can benefit us.

we must go to the beginning

become children again

Perhaps however I doubt thats the main idea there. If you close your eyes to think, what color would all the thoughts be as opposed to their reality? (paradoxical in nature) for example a blind-folded person asked to describe something wont be as accurate as if he had full perception however he wouldnt be wrong with his descriptions because he's blind-folded and limited to that vs. the un-veiled notion.

There is no struggle for God. I am unsure what you mean though, please clarify. But God is ultimate power, mercy, love, truth, there is no effort for God, not worry, no worthy adversary. The struggle is of one's own consciousness and therefore their derived ignorance through desire.

Buddha stated the source of all suffering is desire. This may refer to more than just physical desire but the desire of the spirit, the origin of the soul!
