The riddle at the gates with 2 Angels - the Question?

You ask only one of the angels the following:

"If I were to ask the other angels as to which door leads to my salvation, what door would he point? "

Then you choose the opposite door.

If the angel lies, he'd say that the honest angel would point the wrong door - so by choosing the opposite door you choose the correct door.

If the angel says the truth, he'd say that the lying angel would point at the wrong door. Once again, by choosing the other door you'd be choosing right.

Awesome deduction question. Both Angels would be pointing at the same door every time! So, naturally, the other door would be correct! I did have to keep reading your post over and over to truly understand your point. I think the OP will see that you did indeed answer the riddle soon!

Way too easy... and you have to ask the same question to both angels right?

the question is...

"Are you an angel?"

Or...

"Does God exist?"

It helps if you already know the answer to the question .

Your are illustrating the problems of duality.
Only what you experience in "the one" is true.
You cannot rely on external experience,
which is what you are trying to do by asking an exterior hypothetical being.
Ask within, which one do you "feel" or "know" is telling the truth.
And there you have your answer.
Most do not dare ask truly.

One, because the one cannot be divided.
or zero, there is no one.
