Hi, and thank you for inviting me to explore here. Well...I'm going to have to do some reading & studying, but there are a couple of questions first. 1. Oh, please, why does it ALWAYS have to be a man leader? I am really shy of male-led religion now. What's the scoop on the female aspect of...

I can't help but love ya, fellow digger! ;) But, I don't believe that our Maker likes it so much that only those of us who have "superior minds" and "determination" and "value only what is hard to find" have clear access to contact with her because the whole thing was set up like some giant...

Please don't read this thread if you don't like Phi ***Caution You are entering a Phi-Belief Zone*** But I just want to know, since most monotheist religions tell us they want us to relate with G-d, why do they try to make it so difficult to do? In truth it is the easiest thing in the...

Hi 123! (Love your name ;)) I think I am just jaded about all the extra stuff that the various religions put onto the basic truths, not the basic truths themselves. I have searched so long and with guidance, I know, from the holiest of all, and have been given to discern many beautiful truths...

Thanks Harmony, Maybe I'll check into Ba'hai, but I do fear that I will not share all the thinking of Ballulah(?) (Your quote doesn't appear as I type my reply so I hope I am not spelling it wrong, no offense if I did.) And I really don't think I can take anymore of other humans telling me how...

Hi Pathless, I am going to try to respond in a little more depth to your original post, I have a little more time right now...

Okay I get you now, and agree that the present flows into the future. But the past gives us lessons/oars to carry on the "boat" (our minds/our selves) that rides the flow to help us steer a way on it...:) Boy talking about time always runs to stream of consciousness to me. I think some...

Thank you for your response. My comments are so often not responded to, that I especially appreciate it when they are. Does it teach that "he who causes people to be killed by the (s)word of his mouth will be killed by the (s)word of another's mouth?" Or any paraphrase of this idea? I guess...

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! And do not worry about me, Christ leads me still!

I am quoting myself, just to say that while this may seem simplistic, it does entirely correspond with that which tempted Christ, and is truly "The Adversary" as the Jewish people call him in all persons' abillity to follow the Holy One, and in all persons' inability to love one another. Think...

Hubris is Satan The title of the thread is the theme of it. From hubris is all evil. Can Hubris move about as a spirit? Perhaps it is more like a virus, a meme. We can be taught it. When enough of us are infected by it we move as a group to do unto others that which we would not have done...

I notice that you got no replies here for quite a long time. Perhaps there was a fear that offense would be taken. To me the greatest blasphemy is hubris.

Since I am a monotheist and a follower of the words of Christ wherein he says Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and the door shall open. Ask, and it shall be given. Yet in the seeking knocking and asking that I was commanded to do, I no longer can follow what today is known as...

Many things were revealed, one of the most important is that we cannot be in the spirit of the Originator of all things when we attempt to be left-brained and totally rational, cutting off the right brain functions. We must be whole in ourselves, both brains, to be in the wholeness of the...

Actually, Susma, since it is up to the O (Originator of all things) to choose whether to patronize or to matronize (reach out with the arms of an understanding mother) to this mystic, I find your response patronizing. Insofar as the crumbs from his table comment is concerned: Christ did not...

Is Prophecy Dead? Well let me just say that if a wonderfully sane and upright man or woman, who was in the Holy Spirit like the prophets of old were to say: "I went out unto the wilderness and for forty days I ate not. And the voice of God came unto me and bade me tell my people..." Of...

Love the humor of this! LOL Thanks for posting it.

I am sure you all know it was a period of horrible atrocity unequaled in recorded time, and that the evil of the witch hunts clearly resided more with the hunters than with the hunted. I left out the inapporopriate "if." Sorry all if I sounded short and abrupt. There was a bad thunderstorm...

Wands are also staffs when staffs are stretched out in a wand-like way. Many religions use wands when "staffs" and "verges" are included. Moses stretched his staff out to part the sea, for example. The Pope carries a "wand" in processionals. Wands are not just for fairies and witches, you...
