Hi Indira...nice to see you again....yes, indeed..."Avi's" thread is dedicated to our religious and spiritual journey....you have entered the path...lets see how long and far we will travel together....Hi Avi..glad i caught up with you here. Briefly met you in chat but didn't have time to respond..so 'hi', lol.
Does your thread here have any particular topic?
No need to be embarrassed....Eli...we have friends here on the forum...and there are some not so friendly....we all find our way....Why thank you Avi ..... blush ... not used to being liked lol
No worries...Eli....I don't think we were expecting you to bring world peace...on the other hand.....seeing a display of good ethical and moral behavior....will be a nice change from the daily grind...Hi Avi, sorry it was not much of a good answer to your question,
but i have a question for those who read it ..... Did i do my Task yet ???
or do i have to walk the path and find more rocks to pound into pebbles ....
I have not yet done the one i consider most valuable or Important ...
World Peace .... but perhaps that must wait for the next life
still need to find a way to live up to my name ....
Not a bad peace plan...Eli....only, don't you mean the Palestinians instead of the Philistines ???....Gosh, ok World Peace it is then, bugger more hard work ...
small steps i guess.
1: a State homeland for the Philistines .... Perhaps Sinai or Some part of Syria or Iraq.
2: On Temple Mount build Both a Temple for us Hebrews and a Cathedral for the Xians.
3: Declare Jerusalem a Holy City, independent like the Vatican, or at least make Temple
mount and it's Environs that ...
4: Greater Power to the UN to act as a world govt, only they with the Army, controlling any borders that another state attempts to take over .... to ensure world Peace ...
5: Feed and Educate the world, with what we currently spend on war machines ...
6: Encourage limiting the size of families, so the world can support us all ..
7: A green economy, all and only renewable energy ...
8: Encourage a more Kibbutz like social structure ... work or occupation for everyone,
all equal .....

First, that's quite some list of accomplishments against a pattern of disability.... And struggled to recover brain function ... had a friend living with me who
helped when i got completely lost and asked .. otherwise he allowed i could learn, fail
and try again ....
2.5 years a Zombie from time to time, until i purchased a computer and did educational
programs/games for teens to try recover function...
During the first year of my Injury i Founded the Head Injury Society of my Town
and some years Later a national organisation, from my perspective neither Parents
or the medical establishment had any clue how to rehabilitate an adult suddenly as
socially inept as a 5 year old ...
Of Course then came more study, Medical Gasses, Computer Electronics, Biomedical
Engineering, Certificate in Plant Maintenance, Master of Electrical Engineering .. etc.
In Spare time , i ran the local Head Injury support group, Founded a National organisation so Govt. would talk to us ... and perhaps bullied or persuaded the Govt.
to pass a Disability Act ... provide rehabilitation, Pass a Cycle (Bicycle) Helmet Law,
and eventually a Human Rights act of their own ...
...
Now Retired ....
did i do my Task ?? .... well hope helping mankind best way i could was a yes ...
oh and disability, yes i am officially disabled, still have anosmia, diplopia and disturbed balance ... but my advice to all newly disabled people ... after a period of rest, recovery
and feeling despondent, it is time get up off your backside and gather what resources
or functions you have left and use those to overcome the losses ....
how this shaped My views on religion and G-d. ....
affirmed for me G-d gave us this gift to overcome all adversity ..
perhaps we should avail ourselves of the ability, the path may be long hard and rocky
and at time seem impossible ... nothing is impossible with the help of our creator
by our shoulder ... it is however our work to do, not requiring divine intervention only
His support ....
religion, many of them, far to much dogma that seems to support the structure or oversight of the belief ... to make the holders or Priests more enriched than the community it claims to protect ....
So Religions ... all with much right (the lessons) all with much wrong, the temples
or Priest structure ...
as for myself i stay with my own .. I am a Hebrew of the tribe of Benyamin the laws
Hashem gave to Moshe for us seem sufficient for a productive life doing no harm.
...
And no i am disinclined to pass any judgement on what others believe ... not my
place or duty.
Shalom 'v Chased ...
Peace and Loving-kindness
Eliab ...

There are also some problems with this approach...I will leave it to the reader to find the faults in logic.....but it doesn't mean Eli can't be a fine liberal.....Well Perhaps you do, but i am of the opinion that there is and never was a Palestine,
its just the name the Romans gave our land when they destroyed the temple and threw us out around 70 CE .... Many and various Bedouin tribes moved in the apparently vacant land. and in fact over the Centuries with buy a tree in Israel run by most Synagogues we repurchased every farm and property owning around 95% before the UN gave it back to us.
Now the other Semites who lived there in 1947 and onwards were welcome to stay and be citizens of Israel .... And then came along the Egyptian ... Yasser Arafat to start the PLO ..
and i have lost count of the number of times war against Israel has been started by the neighbours ... seems we will always win ....
Now is a time for Solutions and Peace ... and tiny plots in Gaza and West Bank are no
solution .... Israel and Judea are for the Hebrews, we have title from Hashem !
Shalom
Wouldn't you think we are kind of stuck with each other on this spinning hunk of rock..lol.Hi Indira...nice to see you again....yes, indeed..."Avi's" thread is dedicated to our religious and spiritual journey....you have entered the path...lets see how long and far we will travel together....
Yes and No, Indira....compared to the option of passing through a "wormhole"....as they did in the movie...."Interstellar"...yes, were are stuck.Wouldn't you think we are kind of stuck with each other on this spinning hunk of rock..lol.
I love space flicks..Yes and No, Indira....compared to the option of passing through a "wormhole"....as they did in the movie...."Interstellar"...yes, were are stuck.
On the other hand....in this little world, of our forum.....if the folks don't treat us right.....we always have the power of "ignore".....and I have had to employee it of late...to deal with some extremists !!!!..
Shalom, i am somewhat surprised how quiet this topic has become in the 4 days i was
away visiting my parents ....
I presume it is the holiday season that has so many occupied on other activity ..
Anyhow, Peace and good fortune to you all ...
Shalom back at you as well...Eli..I'll even double down with a Shabbat Shalom...we were waiting for your return...so we can get started with...what's a nice OJ like you...doing on a liberal thread...like "Avi's"....??...well, we always like enlightened OJ's........btw.....are you a MO...?
