    Thanks Lal

    “The Hadean Eon, named after the Greek god and ruler of the underworld Hades, is the oldest eon and dates from 4.5–4.0 billion years ago. This time represents Earth’s earliest history, during which the planet was characterized by a partially molten surface, volcanism, and asteroid impacts.”

    So speculating it will be maybe in the Hadean eon when first humans descended from the deva realm into earth.

    Im trying to picture it haha, like subtle bodies of humans probably radiating luminosity living in a molten surface.

    I know it doesnt lead to more than ideas but its fun :).

    To be fair the pali canon has a lot of repetition.

    Thank you Lal.

    So i would be correct.

    If a smart green being with big eyes comes in a spaceship from another planet many light years away, even if it speaks other language, is smarter, and lives 200 more years, etc. It would still be according to buddha dhamma a Manussa or “human”. Because their character and habits are similar to ours, sexuality, technology, inclination to anger,joy, etc.

    Is “Manussa” translated exactly as human? Or it has another meaning.

     

    Thanks

    Thanks Lal.

    In one of your linked topics i got pretty close to the level of detail i was looking in one of my questions.

    How does the mind affects matter? “Javana citta”

    I will have to look into that concept.

    Again, thanks

    Thanks Lal:

    My question would be:

    -How does the mind affects matter.

    -How does the mind comes up with answers.
