Chris, That would be me, of course. I found this thread because it appeared at the bottom of my screen as a "similar topic" to another topic I was looking at. Unfortunately, this topic is almost two years old, and I assume everyone has moved on to all kinds of other issues. That's...

BB, Well, it had the complete opposite effect on this non-observant and assimilated Jew! It made me very grateful all over again that I am non-observant and assimilated. The similarities with fundamentalist Christian fear-mongering are an additional turn-off. As I said, I could only get halfway...

It's consistent, all right--WAY too consistent to be an actual NDE. It's consistent right down to the old superstitions about noctural emissions and Orthodox standards of modesty for women. I got halfway through and couldn't finish, because it's clearly a moralizing hellfire story in the...

Thomas, And yet that's the position you take on this board, over and over again and in as many different ways as you can think of. Your position has always been that TRUE gnosis can be found only in the Catholic Church and nowhere else, if only everyone understood Catholic teachings "the...

holysmoke, Why would it "destroy the spiritual foundations of all the Abrahamic religions" if a connection could be proven between Hinduism and Judaism? I've been away from this forum for months, so today is the first time I have ever encountered this hypothesis--i.e. a possible connection...

Chris, I'm so sorry to hear that. I know from personal experience that there is nothing more devastating than the death of a sibling, except maybe the death of a child. But that's something I avoid thinking about as much as possible. I remember that practically my first reaction to the news...

Hi Chris! I had to do a search to find your most recent post. It's good to see you're serious about getting healthy, and partly explains why you haven't been posting on other topics these days. I was getting a little bit worried because I haven't heard from you for so long. Of course I...

Hey Chris! I haven't been here for a while, but I was getting kinda worried because you never responded to my last message. Did you find another forum to hang out at or what? --Linda

Hi Chris! Just wanted to let you know I visited this board tonight for the first time in months, but couldn't find any new posts from you. I'm using a new computer now and haven't updated my address book yet. --Linda aka Raksha

Nick, She was brave--I'll give her that. She was willing to look reality in the face without flinching. But what she failed to realize is that hell doesn't have to be real and paradise doesn't have to be imaginary. They can be, of course. But they don't HAVE to be. --Linda

What isn't spiritual? Ignorance...especially deliberate ignorance. --Linda

Dream, I've been away from this topic for awhile because this was the last thing anyone said that resonated with me. Then the discussion veered off into the symbolism of the Adam and Eve story, and I guess I've been through that one too many times on other boards to have any interest in...

You didn't give a link for this. Who is the channeler, and who is the purported source of this message? It's clearly a fake, because no divine source would ever claim that Satan created Islam. This is just somebody's partisan ranting, and I don't believe it came from Medjugorje either. I...

Namaste Vajrahara, First of all, you are assuming that I am attempting to make "progress" on "the Path," and that I am using the siddhis such as telepathy as a measurement or yardstick of that progress. I have to call into question both assumptions. I could very well be wandering off "the...

Chris and everyone, I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this (guess I've been living in a cave lately), but what does MILF stand for? --Linda

Chris, That's for damn sure! Sometimes they do more harm than good, and this time I'm not referring to their self-appointed "gatekeeper" function. Last night I received an e-mail from an old friend I lost track of many years ago. It brought home to me vividly how much damage can be done...

Thomas, Two objections here. First of all, I DON'T "believe in Christ," not in the way you mean anyway. I just explained that in my last post. Second of all, in the immortal words of that great Jewish prophet Robert Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan: "You ain't him." Oh yeah, and one other thing...

Thomas, I should have seen this coming...the most self-vouching passage in the entire New Testament! Catholics just LOVE to quote this one in defense of the traditional power structure, but...what if the person you're addressing isn't Catholic? I consider myself eclectic, the influences...

Zagreus, This is one situation where "Just say NO!" is definitely applicable. There's a difference between being receptive and being passive. In order for the process to work, you DO NOT have to be in such a totally passive or "mediumistic" state that you entertain anything that comes along...

17th Angel, Zagreus and everyone, Interesting topic! What you're describing here is a technique I've been using on and off for about 20 years, but I don't call it "ghost writing." In fact I never heard that name for it until I started reading this thread. I call it automatic writing or...
