What is God? jack

I suppose it may be possible to reach higher states of consciousness with the aid of technology. I don't know how one would differentiate between a spiritual state and some sort of alternative psychological state though. If one could prematurely "beam" themselves into a higher state there could...

What's right is to be honest with yourself about what YOU really believe and to do your best to live up to what YOU believe is right. To believe in your heart that there is no such thing as God, but try to act as if you do believe is just hypocrisy. To feel in your heart that there is a God and...

You've had a negative experience with a Christian man, but it's best to try to take each person as an individual and not as some sort of representative of their religion, political party, race, or gender... As you can tell by this message board, even people within the same religion can (and...

Spirituality has never been a group project. God doesn't care about what organisations we're in good standing with. God knows the Truth about each of us. jack

If you don't mind then, could you describe what love feels like, or what it's like to be born blind and see absolutely nothing, not even blackness, or why do you like the food that you eat and why others may not? So Truth didn't exist before Yeshua (much later nicknamed, "Jesus") was born...

Why not? jack www.jackmctamney.com

Hi, Z! Well, in my view, man and everything else is already God, but unconscious of their divinity. The Avatar, on the other hand is the original limited soul (Adam) to traverse the path through evolution and involution from unconscious divinity to God Consciousness and comes back every now and...

Are you saying that you don't believe in prayer, Scott? To me, creation is contingent on God, but He exists outside, inside, and beyond it. He's beyond creation, but never seperate from it. In my view, we can only believe what the Teachers tell us about God if the Teachers experience God. So...

Like the wise man once said (I think it was Viv Stanshall from The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, actually), "Death is just nature's way of telling us to slow down." Actually though, life is difficult, so it is tempting to assume that death might be some sort of reprieve... the grass is always greener...

What you experience spiritually is naturally just part of who you are already. Whether or not you can find some outward organisation that reflects what you believe in your heart is another story. I never have, but I don't really need that or look for it anyway... I dial direct. jack

My take is that Jesus, Mohamed, the Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Rama, & Meher Baba were the Avatar of their respective ages, so while their messages are important, the spiritual push for mankind comes from the Divine One consciously taking human form... In the case of Confucius (while I don't...

Both. God created evolution. jack

There are many theories about evolution. Charles Darwin's is perhaps the most famous, but the concept had been around long before him. Meher Baba wrote an exhaustive detailed account of His perspective on evolution and involution titled, "God Speaks; The Theme Of Creation And It's Purpose"...

To me Santa is the personification of the aspect of God that makes most people just a little bit friendlier and giving during that season. Of course, the object should be to not tie Santa up in the attack every Dec. 26 and try to carry that spirit of giving and love through the whole year. Yes...

I'm a follower of Meher Baba. Baba teaches that all religions are equal, but was adamant about not starting one around Him, and not trying to convert others. There is no church, no rituals, no tithe, and no group consensus about how to follow Baba. It's just the individual doing his or her best...
