Sharing in the sufferings we all have our cup from which we must endure, and for whatever reason it has been placed upon us to endure them. Our actions, the way we choose and conduct ourselves has much to do with how we process the experience as biological sensory organisms, each of us playing...
What if the goats are the sure footed climbers (maybe swimmers), reaching ever so higher with aimed intent to endure till the end? Thus far, your presumptions have amounted to both weeds and goats to be bad things, as if we shouldn't aspire to be either one. I have suggested they are capable...
The sting associated with the comment, given they are vying for seats as representatives for the people, would seem to possibly be the kind of infecting element able to jeopardize and compromise that person's campaign effort, perhaps holding some longevity in that way. Representative for who...
Acknowledgement of that which has been stated as a conscious organism, experiencing the reality that is in question, and navigation between sides of the coin (the metaphor), and the many variables that exist within that space itself, seem to have you in doubt of the understanding I adhere to and...
To each their own household. I come from bible roots and from many of the branches that grew from that tree. I will either remain associated or be required to grow my own roots as a person. I viewed the bible similar to how you presented your truth at one time, too. I've also adopted many of...
No, Jehovah's ways are not my ways. We are different. I'm not Jehovah. I'm me. It is desired (by God) that I walk in my truth, accept discipline when required, and seek peace with all people. To prove blamelessness is in the eye of the blamed and accused by our accusers. I don't like...
To do this, I must honor in spirit and truth, otherwise I am doing exactly opposite of what is desired from me by the Father. I will acknowledge that God has likes and dislikes of his own. We all do. We are divided and separated for a reason (unique). This isn't to condemn, but to separate...
Acknowledged ... I never want to see some things, either, so I tend to look the other way or go find more acceptable havens able to accommodate my little place in body that represents humanity. I may not be a toe, or a finger but I'm still part of the body itself.
Have you ever tried anchovy pizza? I tried it once and it was an unholy abomination to my pallet. I hope to never be required to consume that gross, detestable, and unholy combination again. I can't blame people for not liking some things, so I can understand Jehovah's resistance. I myself...
I've read of similar practices. Memories are a nice way of reconnecting with those we love, and if necessary, with those we love less or dislike. I've never been a practitioner, but I'm sure intent makes a difference, as it is in the spirit of the contact that it is or would be understood...
You make very valid points. The difference is in how we experience a thing, making a value determination as a result, whether something is viewed as good or the opposite of. It's a value determinization. We have a tendency to set this stage for ourselves, apply the broad brush to the whole as...
The premise is one shared by Dutch philosopher named Barouch Spinoza, although I didn't become aware of this until a few months ago. It's a basic concept, direct, and true, but whether anyone chooses to acknowledge this as a truth is up to each individual.
"Spinoza believed that everything...
