There is no American race; 'American' is just a political and economic term and ultimately, has no meaning to the indigenous peoples of the north and south 'America'. Having said that, yes, many American Indians and Mexican-Americans identify with being 'American', but that is just to identify...
Yup! It's called the interplay of Persona and Shadow, where Shadow is foisted upon others as scapegoats, currently the Mexican and the Muslim. Shadow is probably the single most damaging element to peaceful relations around the world, the classic example being the German national Shadow having...
Yup! Just what the white community needs to continue pointing the finger and say 'See? We told you so! That's just the way they are!' What is 'the way they are'? I can tell you this: there is an image of the Mexican hard wired way back in the brains of White America about the Mexican, and...
How can you agree that there is an "afterlife in an unseen realm" that is a reality when you have zero experience or knowledge of such a place? As Shunryu Suzuki of the San Francisco Zen Center stated:
"The idea of another realm is a substantial, delusive idea"
All anyone has ever known and...
Oh, how the sheep love to cuddle up to the grinning wolf.
Are you serious? You fall for that crap? Trump is a shrewd and clever opportunist when it comes to money. You should know that is the bottom line with him as his history shows. Nothing else matters. In the case of Jews and Blacks...
Uh,,,kinda. Reincarnation, otherwise known as The Wheel, is the unenlightened state of Samsara, the world of birth and rebirth, or suffering. The goal is to find a way to escape The Wheel and the round of births and deaths. It is the illusion of an individual self or soul that is born...
The writers of the Ascension seem to have had an overactive imagination, LOL. Alan Watts provides some interesting commentary:
excerpted from: Myth and Ritual in Christianity, by Alan Watts
"Dominionist leaders like Dutch Sheets, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs and Lou Engle are a force worth paying attention to. Those leaders, according to People for the American Way’s Right Wing Watch, “are associated with the New Apostolic Reformation, which believes a triumphant, dominion-taking...
Paul's Christianity is an amalgam of blood-based pagan doctrines with those of Yeshua. Yeshua's authentic Nazarene teachings are breath-based, taken from Eastern wisdom. The differences are huge. The blood-based teachings that Paul and Constantine favored included the doctrine of total...
You don't seem to understand: there was a real man named Yeshua who was crucified, but there was no 'Jesus of Nazareth' who was resurrected and rose into the sky. The myth of 'Jesus' who shed divine blood for the redemption of sin and was resurrected is a doctrine overwritten onto the...
ha ha ha....That's what I thought. 'Jesus of Nazareth' is a myth, so no: he never was an Essene simply because he never existed. On top of that, neither did a first century 'Nazareth'.
The most recent evidence of any habitation in the area in question is that of only one small farmhouse...
What one German citizen was overheard to say to another about Hitler and his Brown Shirts at the local bar.
Whether I am right or just paranoid, as you think, we need to strengthen the rule of separation of church and state before these nut jobs do gain the foothold/stranglehold into government...
"What's that you say?...the're putting Jews into the gas chambers? Ridiculous and laughable!"
"What's that you say: 911 was an inside job? Ridiculous and laughable!"
"What's that you say: we're headed for a fascist theocracy? Ridiculous and laughable! Why, Trump loves us, and wouldn't...
As much as I love you, George, you are in la la land. The Dominionist movement is not 'just about anything'. It is about the takeover of America to be ruled on moral grounds: IOW, a police state. Using state of the art technology for sophisticated mind control will be their modus operandi...
Lyndon, you're exactly right, but few will admit it. Hitler did two things: he blamed the Jews for the economic troubles of the German people, and then he dehumanized them as sub-human, ie 'untermenschen', IOW, 'genetically defective', as a device to justify their extermination.
Trump, and...
Well, now there is a new movement amongst Christians, the name of which escapes me at the moment, and one which you may know of, which says that Christians must get into power. It is an extension of the Manifest Destiny doctrine. You can poo poo Christian intent, but I take it very seriously...
When you say 'Jesus', are you referring to a man who was crucified and rose from the dead, a man who instructed his disciples to eat of his flesh, and drink of his blood, and that the shedding of his blood was for the redemption of mankind's sins? That man?
