You are in God.

Sometimes the surest way to hit something is to stop trying to hit it.

Thanks PL - succinct, to the point and even I can understand it

Silly you it's because of the proven difference between 10^93gm/cm^3 and 10^55gm/Cm^3 - geezus markpierre :roll eyes:

"And there are those who talk, and without knowledge or forethought reveal a truth which they themselves do not understand.

And there are those who have the truth within them, but they tell it not in words.

In the bosom of such as these the spirit dwells in rhythmic silence."



That was really good. I liked it.
I spend about 95% of my time alone. But even if it's at a cafe or shopping, it's alone.
And you know what? It's really nice and quiet. I'd never had that before I drew a circle around myself.
And I had to almost die again to be forced to do it.

I'm so slow.

On ya markpierre,

This is probably more on topic: ( again my dearest Khalil )

"And an old priest said, Speak to us of Religion.

And he said: Have I spoken this day of aught else?

Is not religion all deeds and all reflection?

And that which is neither deed nor reflection, but a wonder and surprise ever springing in the soul, even while the hands hew the stone or tend the loom?

Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?

Who can spread his hours before him, saying, "This is for God and this for myself; This for my soul, and this other for my body?

All your hours are wings that beat through space from self to self.

He who wears his morality but as his garment were better naked.

The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.

And he who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song-bird in a cage.

The freest song comes not through barbs and wires.

And he to whom worshipping is a window, to open but also to shut, has not yet visited the house of his soul whose windows are from dawn to dawn.

Your daily life is your temple and your religion.

Whenever you enter into it take with you your all.

Take the plow and the forge and the mallet and the lute;

The things you have fashioned for necessity or delight.

For in reverie you cannot rise above your achievements nor fall lower than you failures.

And take with you all men:

For in adoration you cannot fly higher than their hopes nor humble yourself lower than their despair.

And if you know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles.

Rather look about you and you will see Him playing with your children.

And look into space; you shall see him walking in the cloud, outstretching His arms in the lightning and descending in the rain.

You shall see him smiling in flowers, then rising and waving His hands in the trees."

That's cool, but he's kind of busy for my mind. I really like the line I plucked out, that's where everything is happening. It can get weird though, we have to allow that.

Yeh, I get a bit that way with another bob's postings - I'm sure he's got it together but I'm just too attention deficient to get my head around it.

I just saw this on facebook.........thought I would share :-)

The song of the bird, the beauty of the rose, the buzz of the bee, the activities of those things that give forth in themselves the expressions of the joy of just using--for the time being--a portion of God in their activity. Would that all men everywhere could gain but that consciousness in life and life's experience... ~ from Edgar Cayce reading 410-2

To quote Kahlil Gibran- (The Prophet and the art of peace) :

Well, different strokes, eh. To my reading, Gibran is mostly pretentious twadle and wannabe guruism, wrapped up in biblical blather.

I want to unwind the oft misunderstood complexities of language so that a simple 'grunt' conveys all.

[Rogerc]

Bob , that was beautifully put, I laughed my ass off and just splattered coffee over my keyboard.

I walked straight into that one

And so damned simple.

That was your equivalent of a grunt, it's in you my boy

I wanted to add my 2 cents to all of this philosophical stuff. That it doesn't matter if you're in 3D or whatever dimension, whatever parallel world, past, present or future, whatever body, shape or density you're in, you will always be part of the Great Cosmic Body of the Creator..... (There! I said it....!)

[Mystique]

It has occurred to me that our concept of God is that God is Eternal.

We are of that which is Eternal.

That means that we never began, and never will end. We have always been.

God did not invent time, humans did, as Gods.

Time did not exist before the printing press, according to Marshal McLuhan.

We created something that didn't exist, and have become trapped within a false construct - to the point where we think we have to die and leave our bodies in order to get out of it.

That would mean that all these creation stories told to us by "Gods" are a way to enslave the creativity of our Minds by imagining ourselves to have beginnings from those who want us to believe they are greater than Us.
