Perhaps for you my friend. But not for Me. Perhaps it is your intelligence that is the obstacle. Perhaps in reality you are no different than the bird except you allow your 'intelligence' to get in the way. Who is this 'we' that take more value on our material and life? If you are dying...

Don't follow a religion. They all contain errors. So what! Doesn't change anything. So what! Why does it then matter to you? If you have no reason or purpose then you have nothing to be concerned with. Of course we are all dying... That is the nature of things created. Where is your...

Dattaswami1, I have read your replies... It is as you say yet creation is NOT for entertainment of the Lord as if God needed such. Entertainment is created by and for the souls in accordance with the divine makeup of the universe whose power comes from the Lord. It is the nature of creation and...

Greetings Mark, Yes, it seems that each stage is perfect in itself. Just as a flower is complete and perfect in each stage of its developement. Even when withered it is still a perfect withered flower. All is necessary to experience creation in its fullest. Love Joe

Greetings Dattasawami1, What need has an all-knowing God to test his creation or their attitude of sincerity which was known from the start? It seems to me there is no test as you see but rather a harmonious divine dance of creation. You yourself being a master should know that there are no...

Dattaswammi1, It seems to me it is not I who is criticizing God. I merely said "punishment is self-inflicted as an innate function of creation" and "God loves all equally". God has no need to punish anyone. It is you who supposes it to be so. God is all powerful and complete already. You...

Re: -----====(^_^)====----- Yes I was speaking in that context. And yes, that is correct, what need does he who is temporal and is phenomena have for such an answer. It is meaningless. Life is its own meaning. Yes, if one defines that way there certainly would be. JM

Mee, The enemy is only stronger or faster when you don't know who you are. Why should I fear an enemy? I should love my enemies. Perfect love casteth out fear. It seems to me that physical death is not an enemy. It is a natural part of life here on earth. And besides, there is no death in...

Re: -----====(^_^)====----- Most sects of Christianity are not must different than the Theravada tradition in that there is only One Christ so to speak of which office Jesus held. However, it seems to me, since we are all connected, it makes no difference whether one says there is one or many...

Re: -----====(^_^)====----- How can one that never existed in reality in the first place be annihilated? JM

Namaste Vajradhara, In the Pali Cannon summation it indicates that the essence of teachings of the Buddha state.... "Absolute changeless permanent reality, the unconditioned, itself alone is," In my view this would indicate to me that the Buddha's faith rested in the unconditioned which...

Mee, Same book, same writer, same story three times.... Do you see no difference. Book may be inspired but is it 100% ACCURATE? Acts 9:3-7 Acts 22:6-10 Acts 26:13-18 1. Did those with Saul see the light but heard not the voice or did they hear a voice but see no man? 2. Did they all stand...

Pico, Its not a question of lying. It a question of forming and expressing an opinion not based on a fair representation of data or on hearsay passed down. Happens all the time. Heared a well known TV evangelist say Jesus spoke about hell twice as much as he spoke about heaven. Then I hear...

Hello Mee, Exactly what is it that you love about prophecies? Love, JM

By all means , Yes

Very interesting Wil, It seems to me that spending time with the doors closed may be an asset to the 'right conditions' as are surrendering belief systems, unconditional forgiveness of others, etc. yet from a flesh stand point of view, I can't say I have any control other than surrender and...

HE is alive and was viewing board on 8-28-07 if that makes you feel better. He is 'snopping' around. :D JM

Yes Dondi I do, Most believe as you do that we are not perfect and as a result, we, by our belief are not 'ripe' to enter. Did not Jesus say "Be ye therefor perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect" ? Do you think he would command us something that we cannot do through Christ? We have...

Hello Dondi, It seems that one doesn't implement it. It just happens when conditions are ripe by the will of God. Yes, I was saying that even now there is no more sorrow, no more tears and even death. Death is swallowed up in victory. Certainly the physical perishes as one lays down their body...

Wil the romanticist, Shrug shoulders, discuss them with who? That's like asking a cannibal which fork in the road leads to a friendly village. :D JM 17th, I saw your mighty list but thought it might be better to stick with just one book/writer and not complicate the matter with too much...
