Correct, the Hebrew for 'to accept' is לקבל pronounced lekabel with root kbl or for the mystics qbl :)

Also do you remember Zen Flesh - Zen Bones? There is a very simple technique in that book which I found very useful. Be in a darkened room. Sit down comfortably and calm your mind(if necessary) by just closing your eyes and following the movement of your breath, then, when relaxed, touch your...

@EddieC I enjoyed journeying with Harold, I note with interest that things started to go a bit off for Harold(i.e. he suddenly 'became bigger') when he drew the trainlines diverging, which of course one does when representing 3D in 2D. I certain can relate the cartoon as similar to my own...

Sorry to read that about how Hackney has deteriorated. I was born there and lived there in the early 1950s and for the most part really enjoyed my early youth there. One nice memory is that every Sunday morning a vendor would come along on a tricycle selling bagels( or rather bigals as they were...

I always thought that this verse meant that God is simply the life-force itself, i.e. our breath and its movement.

Quoting from scriptures won't work on me as they hold no authority for me. All my realisations have come from within and I go through many changes and could say I am born again every day. No god or guru. Peace & good wishes to you.

What is killed in this metephor is the person feeding off thier spiritual potential, as they have not become alive in the spirit. In the material world both the host and parasitic plant die. The only difference between a theist and an atheist is one of belief. Belief or non-belief exists only...

I didn't understand it at first because I couldn't believe what I was reading. However, after re-reading, I see that I did get it. What the metaphor says is that atheists are like parasites, i.e. sucking the sustenance from God but denying the giver. This teaching is hateful and prejudicial...

It's a bit like the 'Bible codes' thing which was refuted.

I found the first one, the second one said 'video unavailable', prbably because I am in the UK.

I found it on youtube, but couldn't find the other one.
