Past Lives, Reincarnation...

This is an interesting article, whether you've decided what you believe about these things, or not. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/bering-in-mind/2013/11/02/ian-stevensons-case-for-the-afterlife-are-we-skeptics-really-just-cynics/?WT_mc_id=SA_WR_20131107 It doesn't answer all questions, in fact, it doesn't answer any. It just lays out some evidence offered by someone who does not appear to have been either a resident of LaLaland, or a devotee of any particular religion. In fact, as it...

The Devil and the Flesh and the Sacred Trinity

We are spirit, we have bodies. I know, I've said it before, but I can't emphasize this point too much. Once this realization sinks in, so many things change, make sense, fall into place! Do I believe in God? Yes, it flows naturally and necessarily, from the evolvement of the spirit, growing and learning always and ever, that every spirit is on a path to Godhood. Not to becoming individual Gods, but to realizing our one-ness with that for which God is a very inadequate name. Some call it coming... Sign in to see full entry.

The Silver Lining

One of the first questions Man asked the heavens was, Why do bad things happen to good people? And religionists, philosophists and all of us are still asking, and trying to come up with reasonable answers. Acceptible answers, that let us accept disasters and traumas in our lives, and in the world around us. One kind of answer is the one that blames us, ourselves, the victims of disaster: We offended God, we are being punished, we deserved this. Another kind simply denies reason: There is no...

Some youngest children are more terrifying than others.

http://now.msn.com/youngest-child-characteristics-24-signs-youre-the-baby I saw the pengin clip a long time ago, and was thinking about it the other day... what a treat, it pops up again! Some of the rest of these are pretty funny... cute... alarming... Why this, in this blog? Because so much contributes to how a person views the world, other people, the Universe.

Commenting on Mia's post...

I decided to copy over that comment here, because... well, it has a place in this blog. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kind of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt. -Robert M. Pirsig, author and philosopher (b. 1928 It has often been said that converts are the worst, the most in-your-face, self-righteous and devout in all the outward forms of any religious or political community. I think Mr. Pirsig is right,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Female Spirit: Song of the Soul, Bread and Roses

Kabu's tribute to the Pioneer Women, and TAPS recent post about the wanton destruction of the Pioneer Woman statue, for its scrap metal value, has reminded me of some songs. Music reaches the heart and soul when, sometimes, words aren't enough. Kabu's poetry is like such music, and TAPS words always reach the heart, in some part because we know her. Reading a news article doesn't do the same. These songs in particular have always moved me, because I hear truth in them.... Sign in to see full entry.

Hearing God, Speaking for God, Channeling God,

(I wrote about a one-act production my son wrote and directed, in my 'Ciel Show' blog. There, I wrote about the event, but there are questions raised in the play that suggest responding in this blog.) Several years ago, I wrote in this blog about thought-forms, and the layers of human consciousness and experience. In this one, I will home in on the human consciousness and experience of God. Human beings, it has been ascertained by the science of the mind, are wired to believe in a higher power,... Sign in to see full entry.

Finding the God Particle

There has been a lot of talk since last summer about the Higgs Boson, the so-called "God Particle." Most of that talk is way beyond my comprehension, I only understand bits and pieces of it, my mind can't contain the whole of this puzzle, nor even connect many of the pieces. Morgon Freeman tried to explain it to me last night, but I was distracted with dinner, and one thing and another... I still don't get it, but I get that others get it. Physicists get it. What I do get is that science is... Sign in to see full entry.

"My Voice Will Go With You"

Milton Erickson was to psychology what Freud was to no-psychology. Erickson's childhood, filled with obstacles and limitations--dyslexia and polio, to name a couple--brought him to a unique understanding of how the human mind works and expresses itself. He developed particular therapeutic techniques that work like magic, to some who simply are unaware of the nuances of how people express outwardly who they are inwardly. He not only saw, he understood the how and why of mental processes. He used... Sign in to see full entry.

Get thee to a therapist!

Everyone is they way they are, and acts as they act for reasons: damn good reasons, to some part of the mind or heart. They probably came into play in childhood, through lessons not even remembered consciously. We all are equipped with a kind of 'auto-pilot' and these reasons, and the beliefs behind them, are the maps that the auto-pilot navigates by. Therapy can help reveal these reasons, and help you to reconsider them as an adult, and find new, better ways to solve the problems, the reasons... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I've been asking the Universe to explain itself to me since I was about 11 years old. I asked specifically how to reconcile God with Science. Now and then, I seem to tune in on an answer. All that I write here represents not Truth, but what I believe to be true.I have my reasons, and I like to believe, my reason. ///Everything of my own words and/or pictures that I post on Blogit is copyright by CLRedding 1972-present, all rights reserved.///
