Taking the train-of-thought into the past

I have been reviewing the first posts I wrote when I arrived at Blogit in the very tail end of 2004. I came to share some of the things I've come to understand, things I have thought worth sharing, that might be useful to other explorers in the same general regions of the Universe where I am puttering around. I realize that over the course of this blog, and my others, I have revealed not only what I believe, but a good part of who I am. Probably more than I know. But for the most part, it is the...

This was my first blog post ever...

If you're disappointed in God it could be your expectations are unrealistic...maybe it's because you don't have a realistic notion of what God is, and what you can reasonably expect. Maybe God doesn't do the kind of stuff you've been led to expect God does. Maybe the role of God in the Universe isn't what you've been taught. Maybe it is entirely different from the model of God which you were told was not a model, but a Reality... As if we can know! If God is real, and absolute, and perfectly...

Isn't it amusing that God chooses to express Itself in this way?

That's one of the more useful mantras I 've got to remind myself to use more often. It's my belief that everything exists on multiple levels or planes of reality, and that one of these levels--or a certain level of all of them--is, in fact, God: that everything is, at some level, an expression of the Divine. Even shadows spring from light, or in this discussion, Light. The shadows we perceive are the effect of obstructions between our selves and Light. Some are cherished truths that are, in...

Healing Animals

Now and then I have been asked to do some healing work with animals. Usually it is a health matter, something that presents as a physical ailment or issue. The first thing I tell the person concerned is that I am not trained in or adept at doing physical healing. What I can do is look at and manipulate the energies around the physical. Why would this work? And it does seem to work: cats that had no purrs left in them perked up again and lived for years after. Can't prove a thing scientifically,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Suspenders Effect

Sometimes you know you want to make a change, you know it needs to be done--you can feel the connection stretching thin... and then suddenly, you are back in it again, just as stuck, just as committed, just as engaged. Sometimes you do make the change: you move out, move on, file away the old receipts under T for Tuition... and then suddenly, you are back in it again...! It's The Suspender Effect. Like the guy in cartoons who tears through a door, getting his suspenders hooked on the door... Sign in to see full entry.

from bed to verse...

Words like the Sabbath were made for Man not Man for them as sense and the heart reveal. Pomp like all glamour seduces the eye that leads astray a heart from what is just real. (prompted by Troosha's poem today...) Sign in to see full entry.

I wanted this to go a little further...

It started as a comment in Bhaskar's post about being 'born anew.' I spent about 3 years immersed in the only church I've ever found that came close to my heart. It is The Church of Divine Man, a Christ-based church that recognizes that we are essentially spirit; that bodies, lives, thoughts, beliefs, and all, etc, are things that we have. Turning this relationship around turns the whole world around. The teachers there emphasized that to 'be as a child' means to be in that state in which the... Sign in to see full entry.

Magic Isn't REAL! Really?

Gomedome has made his latest post on this topic. Down-to-earth, practical fellow that he is, he asks anyone to offer proof that magic exists. We have his opinion that it doesn't, which is adequate for someone quite thoroughly certain that he knows enough about the Universe to make such a flat negative statement credible: His belief is his bond. Never mind that a negative can never be proven. But the statement is meaningless anyway without clear and limited definitions of terms. On some points... Sign in to see full entry.

The Woman Whose Heaven Was Pink

Everthing in it was pink in color, or pink in nature... pink cherubs, pink clouds, pink everything... pink energy, pink warm fuzzies! She sincerely and completely believed in her perfect place, and sought to share it with others. Very nice lady, very wacky, in my opinion. Me--no pink for me! Except on flowers and skies, where it is just fine. My point is, we create our own heavens and hells, so I believe. Mine will be Tolkien's Middle-earth, very likely. Hmm... no, not entirely--but that will be... Sign in to see full entry.

Who needs religion anyway?

Religion. It's like school. Some of us are still in preschool, some are in the various grades of school, and some have graduated. Some go on to the wide world of everything else, and some love school so much that though they see its limitations, they want to be part of it, to help others move up the grades. And there are some unaware there is an end to school, that learning can go on and on without all the aids of the classroom. And some are simply afraid of any other alternatives, as if school...

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.///
