Philosophy n < 5 minutes

The films "Philosophy in Less than Five Minutes" addressed a variety of issues. The classic black and white cartoons in "Electric Surfing" were pure genius. "Flame On" addressed homosexuality. The video showcases a montage of important historical figures who were berated, punished, and even killed for having been born "different." History will prove that homosexuality has a genetic component and, just as the color of our skin, is determined before our birth.
The film featuring Guru Faqir Chand was the most compelling. During a battle in 1919 Iraq he was faced with his own mortality. He had a vision where another Guru came to him and told him to save his ammunition for a later time when it would be more advantageous to win the battle. This information was spread throughout his battalion and sure enough, assisted them in winning the battle.
Months later, he would have a conversation with the Guru who had appeared to him. Much to his surprise, the Guru said basically that it wasn't him who had come to him but that his own consciousness that created this vision - that there was nothing supernatural about it. Faqir must have realized he would lose the power and status he had gained over people if he admitted his revelation was nothing more than a creation of his own mind. He seems to be a real seeker of the truth - no matter what the truth actually is.
