Hi Chris, Yes, that seems to be a most common occurrence. It is my view that all linguistics are for convenience purposes and at best are conceptual in nature by definition and are limited in describing spiritual things. The actual experience of 'God' is subjectively experienced and beyond...

Both and neither :) JM

P.S. Only that which can be experienced directly can be known and then even that is subjective. He who in the flesh searches for absolute knowledge searches as one for sight with his eye or hearing with his ear, both of which has no capacity for such. Love and Peace' JM

Most excellent flow. Actually, beauty is everywhere except in the eyes of some beholders. :) Love JM

Check this beautiful one out! Can't see the beauty? Perhaps you have a way to go yet in your conscious evolution. It is as good as a picture gets. Love and Peace, JM

Mark, Oh yes, also here. Coming full circle is an important milestone. Same self, same place, only difference is now you know you are ignorant and aren't deluded by false knowledge. Let's celebrate together. Now that you know nothing you are open to everything. Isn't it in a way liberating? Have...

Hi Muslimwoman, Thanks for the interesting links concerning veiling in your post above. I must admit that in the past when I saw a woman veiled it drew my attention and actually led more to me staring at her than if she had not worn a veil. I guess this is because it stands out here in the US...

dattaswami1, It seems to me that God who is all-knowing doesn't test or tempt creation. Neither does God punish the atheist. Being no respecter of persons, God loves all equally. Punishment is self-inflicted as an innate function of self creation. (karma) Neither can an all-powerful God be...

Interesting writing which seems to me to be of much wisdom yet I would question this one part taken from the writing. It seems to me that God is complete already and there is no partial pleasing of Him. It seems to me that perhaps God has no ego that he needs to be pleased by any individual...

Anil, It seems to me that in all religions there are included 3 elements ... God, the soul and the world. Are not even these three things one? Therefor, where is the division that you have spoken of except in the mind of men? There is nothing but God. The created self cannot exist without the...

Hi Muslimwoman, I don't think you will find a consesus on the answer to your question. Some believe Jesus was God in the flesh, Some believe Jesus was the only Son of God, Some believe Jesus is our elder brother and one of many Sons, Some believe Jesus was the same as you and me and became...

Because we are conditioned humans that enjoy melodrama in our lives and because it makes us feel more alive to that conditioned identity. Love and Peace, JM

Originally Posted by JosephM Luke was not a recorded eyewitness and the New Testament was not formed as it exists til approximately 267 AD Hi Wil, In reference from my comments and your inquiry above.... Perhaps this will help: from The New Testament book of Luke The Gospel according...

Pico, It seems to me, there are two obvious errors in your statement here. One is that the New Testament was written within a generation of Jesus's resurrection and the other that it was written by eyewitnesses (I assume you meant exclusively by eyewitnesses) to the event. Luke was not a...

MW, Personally, I would say it is not a case of should OR shouldn't. We are free to choose when we come of age unless we willingly give up that right to our parents, peers or group. Peace, JM

Hello Karen, You are correct. Your quotations are not vague. I apoligize for my unclear communications. Sorry... I meant vague in the respect of your statement "in all that entails" is not clear in meaning or application. I repeat, Your quotations are not vague at all. However, whether...

Chris, Reguarding your comments on your brother Mark..... I sensed in his PM to me that he knew full well his time was short and he had some things he wanted to say. During his last days he displayed a love that could only come from beyond the surface of his perceived belief system by others...

Hi Karen, 'Believing in the Holy Spirit and all that that entails' , is in my view, vague and leans on a belief system that is a more of a barrier to truth than truth, however, each to their own path and no offence meant here. (Just a different view) Love and Peace, Joe

Chris, Everyone has a predisposition toward it because it is integral to our nature. It is inevitable. It does not require belief, only openness, The reason it requires no proof is because it is self evident without thought. It can only be experienced subjectively in this realm of flesh...

Hi Chris, Yes, knowing isn't believing. You can believe a lie and that doesn't make it true. 'Knowing' doesn't require belief. It is not a voice as you suppose. It is the essence of the Christ nature or the mind of Christ. It cannot be intellectualized or else it is just a concept even as I am...
