    Tarot cards

    This is so false, and I do not know who told you that. That is insane. There is nothing wrong with buying a deck from the store. This is what I do: I look at the decks, and which deck resonates with, or 'calls out" I will get. I do not believe a deck needs to be handed down. AS a matter of...

    Is God against astrology?

    That's ok. I completely understand being skeptical because say a horoscope is 'one size fits all' in the paper. However when you examine a chart with the sun and the planets and other aspects, it is a completely different picture. Then factor in transits and its all about energy and how it can...

    Is God against astrology?

    I completely agree with obsession. And I do read tarot from time to time. I have about seven decks. I just pretty much use it for insight, I see it more psychological based than supernatural. I have had some people I would read the chart for, then keep 'coming and coming' for a read, and I...

    Is God against astrology?

    When I look at it in its entirety, I see it more as a condemnation of black magic, which could harm someone, than a condemnation of astrology. Not justifying. But there was a real fear of the Jewish people of black magic and I think this is what was being conveyed. Notice underworld spirits...

    Buddhism and not self

    Oh boy this is a toughie. I have explored this in depth, read, spoke to people, meditated, you name it, and still I am mystified. Like for instance, i know me in this body is not permanent. Attached to it is mind, which is not permanent. And I know I have an ego, and this ego-self I have created...

    Is God against astrology?

    Well I was doing some research myself found this. Im not big on catechisms I was looking more for scripture. Does the Bible condemn astrology? But one of the main things I look at, is clearly the three Magi were astrologers. This is how they found Jesus, and predicted the birth of a King...

    Spiritual but not religious and crime

    Well technically atheists could be said the only repercussions are from the law. But why would a spiritual but not religious person, if they believe in a deity, not fear repercussions from both the law, as well as a deity? It seems the Christians are obeying the law, they speculate because they...

    Spiritual but not religious and crime

    There has been a study which has generated several articles that spiritual but not religious young people, commit more crimes than Christians and atheists. Why do you think this is so? I am pretty clueless. Baylor University || Media Communications || News

    astral projection is biblical

    I see you have studied some Jung. Yes I agree we are able to go and explore the shadow and unconscious mind via astral projection or lucid dreaming. By shedding light into this part of mind you are right we can achieve balance. Its not all that much different than a psychologist hypnotizing a...

    Is God against astrology?

    I agree that anything we become dependent on is not healthy. I pretty much just use it as a guideline in life, but I do not allow it to rule my life.

    Jesus and the fig tree

    Cursing the fig tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia One of the things I heard before is the fig tree wasnt in season to begin with. Was it in season? AND why did he take it out on a fig tree?

    astral projection is biblical

    Yes. When you astral project. You simply face your own mind, of your own creation, and images manifest to express something. We gain knowledge from these images, and can work at cleaning house. Yes and I think God would want us to be responsible in slaying our own demons. Gnosticism and...

    Why so many threads on homosexuality?

    Good to know. :)

    astral projection is biblical

    I have never seen anything Biblical which does not allow astral projection. I believe we do this naturally. The Dalai Lama calls it lucid dreaming. Many people do it naturally without having control over it. The mind is a very powerful thing, and not all people can control what it does when...

    Why so many threads on homosexuality?

    Well with Christians this stems from Judaic law, and for that matter my logic is, lots of Christians eat pork. Why do they not look to ban pork from society, per the Jewish law? And also if someone cheats on their wife, I don't see Christians trying to make this illegal and some punishable...

    Why so many threads on homosexuality?

    Well I don't want to condemn anyone. That is not my intent. I'm just trying to understand why people use their religion to bash a people? I mean, there's so many types of 'sins' a person can do. And everyone does to a degree. No one is perfect. People lie, cheat on taxes, steal office supplies...

    Nonduality vs Duality

    Thank you for this. Yes I believe I see things non-dual as I am not independent on my environment. Like as a baby, I need my mother and father to care for me. As an adult, I need food and water, and the oxygen I breathe. Even food, coming to the grocery store, takes many people to provide it for...
