The Amount of Truth...
...that has been revealed to me is what is attractive. The ideas behind the words. They are ringing inside of you like a bell, piquing your interest, drawing you further in to your true self.
Listen for those thoughts within yourself and find a way to communicate them in your own words. That is the essence of inspiration as I have come to know it. As long as you don't try to own the, "muse," she keeps coming back to commune with you.

Your blog is complicated
and a little hard to follow, but I find myself reading several pages. I'll have to read it again when I'm less tired.

I like your thinking GW
| I have come to many of the same conclusions. Lately I have been seeing that many of my cosmological beliefs line up with the theosophists and some of the thinking of Hindu philosophers on the nature of the cosmos and our place in it all. But in the end it is my own thinking and understanding. Not what I have been ordered to believe. See my blog called Christ as Avatar. Good stuff GW. BTW I really liked your comment for Jemmie. I have been worried for her. Take care and shine on. |

I hate your screen name but I love your message. The only thing I believe in is God. I take the Bible for what it is...a book and nothing more. Have you thought about changing your screen name?

You Have the Write...
...to be wrong.
The day of final judgment is the day when the vast majority of humanity realizes that we don't have any.
Apart from a sacred experience with a God of our own understanding, we are headed over a cliff. Just like the dinosaurs were. But they only had the capacity for eating, drinking, breathing and making baby dinosaurs, even though a few species of them were able to hunt in packs.
Here we are, after close to a million years on the planet, and in less than 1/100 of the time we've got ourselves suspended over a vat of boiling oil. I could be preaching to the choir on this one, but it sure seems to me that we humans aren't as smart as we like to believe we are.
I'm not at all suggesting that organized religions do anything more than provide an easy entry point for our human egoes to disrupt and destroy our spiritual experience with our God, making judgment all the more precarious. That evidence is plain and clear in the historical record. But I do believe that an experience with one's own subconscious, and a subordinate one at that, is, at a bare minimum, necessary for some sort of spiritual experience of wholeness and peace. Without this minimal amount of spirituality, life will find a way to give a person alot of trouble.
Most organized religions find a way to blaze a trail that works for them, and a few others, and they take this to mean that their way of finding an awareness of a God of their understanding is the ONLY WAY to accomplish this very natural and very fulfilling experience.
It isn't. And a belief in anything less is utter blasphemy to the notion of an omniscient and infinite God. If even one hair on the head of anyone is unaccounted for, God, Himself, is not whole. That means that what we thought was evil is really just people who are sickened by their own self centeredness, their own believe in a universe that never provides enough of anything.
But thank you for your compliments, back-handed though they may be. Sometimes I get windy and sometimes I am brief. But I am never without words, for some reason.

you write well...
I completely disagree with much of your commentary, however. You either hold much disdain for Christians Conservatives and Republicans, or have an agenda of some kind founding this post. In either case, it's a shame to see talent like yours wasted on this type of hate speech. Plus, this was VERY long for a blog and I don't think many people will read it through. I hope they do, because you're very articulate, even if I think you're wrong in some of your thinking.
Write On! ltlmac70 wuz here...
