    Judging Others

    I've always thought of enlightenment as the realization of the true self; Junk and all. I think we're all the same, and that part of the process of realization is the realization, or awarness that we are one. (One body, one mind, one soul, one Love) I guess it comes down to accepting self...

    Judging Others

    Good point, InLove, but it's very hard to take a peak at self from the inside and see the same thing when others are looking from the outside. The two perceptions are usually at great odds with each other. The person under the microscope knows their true intentions, while those looking from the...

    Judging Others

    I've been noticing this a lot lately. Mosty with other religious groups, but we are all guilty of judging others, aren't we? Not that I view it as a major sin, but I think it makes a person seem high minded, and that in and of itself is a judgement, lol. :eek: Why do we do it? Wouldn't life...

    Stupid, Ignorant Things I Have Done

    I stuck a piece of wire in an electrical outlet in highschool...all the lights went out, but the intense flash from the outlet lit up the entire room...and me. I filled an aliminum foil tube with hairspray and set it on fire in class, then stomped on it when the teacher looked at me; it...

    What is pride and why is it bad?

    Edging G-d out probably speaks more to me about ego than has anything else I've heard in the past, lol. I'll have to look into patristics sometime...maybe it'll wake me up a little, haha James

    What is pride and why is it bad?

    Thanks to both of you... I understand the basic premise here, and I understand why good communication skills are needed, but I see no confusion except in the way some things are being defined. Ego (self) is not bad in my mind unless merged with arrogance. (Pride in my mind is simple...

    What is pride and why is it bad?

    Nice post, and thank you...but now comes the questions of, Who are we to judge anothers intent? Who are we to deem a person prideful? Who are we to make such negative judgements about anothers character when we have no idea of the intent behind thier actions? I think when we do this, we...

    What is pride and why is it bad?

    Not the same type of ascension, haha. Sorry if you took it that way, cyberpi. I meant out of the muck I was once in. I'm still here on earth like you, there's still muck around, but I'm not in the dire straits I once was. ( Completely Lost) I see some divinity in Christ, and I see good stuff...

    What is pride and why is it bad?

    Thanks for the tip, haha! I got it now, paladin... As far as intent go's, aren't we all our own individual? The things we do, say, how we act, and how we present ourselves to others derive from our character. Is it wrong to highlight a few things to others, or try to be an example, or find...

    I watched it the other night for the first time on dvd, I don't like theaters so I waited. My brother was a rescue swimmer, then a chief instructor. The movie blew me away, man. I am in awe of what you guys do, Quahom. Very admirable, and you guys deserve more respect than you get!! James

    What is pride and why is it bad?

    What does it mean to be "prideful", then? If there is a healthy sense of pride, where then do we cross the line into being prideful in an unhealthy sense? paladin, I'll have to look up aggrandizement and bemoaning before I fully understand your post...forgive me, lol. I have a limited...

    What is pride and why is it bad?

    Perhaps balance is needed when approaching issues of pride, then? I'd like to think my creator would want me to be pleased with who I am in him. Our acomplishments, our talants, our gifts are all through G-d, but don't we play a part as well, silas? I think that if we become so prideful that...

    What is pride and why is it bad?

    I'd like to think that having pride in one's self is what God intended. He created us in his image after all, but it would seem that many view pride to be an awful sin. Are there different types of pride? (Some good, some bad) Or is all pride looked down upon by our creator? I have pride in...

    Surrendering to Grace

    I've read many of your posts and I Love your views, Earl. I agree with many of them. I think grace has much to do with balance. Say grace/love is the balance beam on which serves as a foundation. In as much as we can, we all recieve, but sometimes we'll lean to the left and fall, then to the...

    Surrendering to Grace

    I'm jumping in on this one; I have given much thought to this topic and would like to share my opinion. I haven't read thru the entire thread, so if I repeat someone else, then please forgive me...I'm being lazy today. I'm not sure you can surrender to "Grace". To me, Grace is the outcome of...
