we can always trust our senses but it actually depends on the situation.n a lot depends on the person.if the person is a fool he'll use his senses in a wrong manner which will not be the case wid a wise guy.so we shud not blame our sesnses provided tat we use it as the situation demands.its foolish to blame ur senses when u haven't used them right.

I believe our aim is to evolve and be one with the god. we do it by refining our thinking and surrendering our ego. In spirit form we do not suffer pain, so we come and take birth in physiacal form to experience pain and we choose the life we want to lead before being born. Once we accept our pain and sorrow and suffer it we evolve in to new beings. with each evolution we come closer to god step by step. I am very much inspired by Geeta and writings of Dr brian weiss just go to

I dont think that is the reason.I have a very good story for you.
One day a man was at a barber shop, the barber said to him i dont beleive in GOD, if there is God then why is there sao many people sick,tired,in problems.....the man could say nothing in reply,he left the barber shop..
As he left he saw a begger whose hair are so long and dirty....the man immediately returned to the barber and said..."you know there are no barbers coz if there are barbers then why is there so many peple with so much long hair and without proper shave.....the barber replied NO,they dont come to us, themselves....
Then the barber realizes his mistakes and admits that there is GOD "BUT THE MAIN THING IS WE DONT GO TO ASK HIM FOR HIS HELP"

THERE IS SUFFERING IN THIS WORLD BECAUSE EVERY MOMENT GOD TESTS US. HE WANTS TO SEE OUR PERSEVERENCE. HE WANTS TO SEE IF GET DISTRACTED FROM THE PATH OF TRUTH AND FAITH IF WE FACE ALL SORTS OF DIFFICULTIES.

We live in a world where we put almost total faith in our senses. But we know that our senses are not always reliable--Television images, virtual reality, dreams, mirages....the list goes on and on. But we continue to use our senses to get the things we need done. Can we truly trust our sense allowing for the fact that we could be being decieved at any time? Remember the article on the Matrix---Neo &company were being decieved in everything for their whole lives until they were released. As human beings we tend to just trust our senses. When have you ever heard in a court case the defense attorny asking a witness to a crime if he was sure he wasen't dreaming when he saw X kill Y? Most people would find that an absurd argument! But how would the witness defend his claim? Could he?
It's funny because skepticism seems to make rational sense, and yet I am only a skeptic when I think about it. Today i moved out of the way of a car when it was coming my way, ate some food, etc. IS that irresponsable?
You tell me.....

Not all always! Our senses can decieve us, if we don't stop and analyse the situations we are put into. You and I are just actors in the God's stage. We all play our part and hope it is was well done. Sufferings in this world will never cease until every human being alive have fulfilled God's wishes. That would happen when we have full faith in him.

forensic psychologists tell us all the time that we should not trust our senses we are often fooled by a sensory response to inapropriate stimuli, an example of this is an optical illusion or indeed a psychotic episode that those unfortunate enough to suffer have

I dont believe in god at all but I feel the need to respond...I honestly think that there is so much suffering in the world because we need it...We learn from our pains and tragedies....we grow from suffering and how could we truly know the positive without knowing the negative? Would you really know what it means to be happy if you have never been sad/felt sorrow? How would you know what its like in the light if you've never spent time in the dark? Suffering is only tht if we let it be.....

I believe so.
I know women have a sixth sense when we feel danger may happen.
I try testing it now and than just to see if I am right. When it involves our children/pets/loved one's, than I don't toy with it. Thus, I would not take the dark alley when my senses tell me it is unsafe.
