This is a bit public to go into much detail, I agree, and I like your point about not being interested in gossip or vulgar language. On the surface, social anxiety disorder seems very much like a hindrance. It's an obstacle... or a cocoon... "Certain fruits, indeed, attain their fullest...

An infinity of might-have-beens :) That reminds me of how vast the universe and how many countless souls God keeps creating... God must really love people since He keeps making more of us :)

I think the love of God comes first--the first priority is to love God. How shall we live? In love with God. What shall we do? Work... get a job... something that is in some way of service to someone. How shall we cope? Loving God will help us the most, I believe, in the situations we face. A...

It sounds familiar... I think I knew it at one point... I hope I can find it again and post it. (in fact, what I just said sounds like it was, was not, and then was again.... in my memory... if I can find it again :) )

I second that--very profound observations 17th! "Know thou that the end is like unto the beginning. Even as thou dost consider the beginning, similarly shouldst thou consider the end, and be of them that truly perceive. Nay, rather consider the beginning as the end itself, and so conversely...

"Lay not on any soul a load which ye would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for any one the things ye would not desire for yourselves." -Baha'u'llah I think I just posted this, but my computer's acting funny...

"Lay not on any soul a load which ye would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for any one the things ye would not desire for yourselves." -Baha'u'llah (the Golden Rule)

The Baha'i Faith might appear to be syncretistic, but it's not. While we do acknowledge the divine origin of previous religions, we don't depend on any of them. We have a new revelation with new laws and new scriptures.

:D No, not that one. I got eaten by a leopard last night, though... I emailed the dream to some people, so I'll copy/paste it: I had an awesome dream last night. I was walking in very high mountains, extremely high up, on a little trail that wound through woods and over deep, deep chasms. I...

Re: Jack Lenz project the feature film "Mona's Dream": I wonder if Mel Gibson's going to help with Jack's movie? :) Whether he does or not, I hope the movie gets done and in theatres!

Yes, that was a factor, wasn't it? 'It is also recorded in the Gospel according to St. Luke, that on a certain day Jesus passed by a Jew who was sick of the palsy, and lay upon a couch. When the Jew saw Him, he recognized Him, and cried out for His help. Jesus said unto him: "Arise from thy...

Is there a web site where those books can be read? My computer is slow... very slow sometimes... and sometimes it just stops working and I have to use something called "software repair wizard." You can call me either Dah-veeth or Abeja... Abeja means bee and is pronounced Ah-bey-ha. I get the...

Makes sense, and I should have guessed that... scribes were few and paper doesn't last forever. Things have to be copied over and over again to last centuries... Thanks for the history lesson! :)

Re: Jack Lenz project the feature film "Mona's Dream": I heard a rumor that Jack Lenz did the music for Passion of the Christ and that Mel Gibson asked Jack Lenz what movie he'd like to make... and he said a movie about Mona.... and the rumor continues that Mel Gibson was going to help make...

My favorite early Christian Writings are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I think I like Matthew the most of the four because of the Sermon on the Mount.. chapters five, six, and seven, if I remember correctly. And I think my favorite version is the New Revised Standard Version... I think the...

I've had it as long as I can remember. I don't know what it's like to be without it. (and people without it don't know what it's like to have it.) I wonder what the point of it is... does it help in my particular spiritual growth? Does it help me in some way that I can't imagine? Is it...

Great idea! It might not ever end, but communication helps :) I think every religion agrees on the golden rule.

And soap! And paper! And books! :) If the Muslims hadn't gone to China, Westerners wouldn't have had books in the modern sense of the word... books with papers bound together instead of scrolls. Muhammad said something about seeking the truth, even in China. I don't remember the exact words...

Ooh, ooh.... that reminds me of a T-shirt... hehe.... It went something like this... A Priest, a Rabbi, an Imam, a Buddhist, a Hindu, and a Baha'i are on the same path... ...get it? _____ The two great commandments of Jesus, in simplified form: 1. Love God! 2. Love mankind...
