Thank you, 1being.. here's what i'm actually trying to understand, you state that 'God' IS, and will always be, but.. i don't know what you mean when you say 'God'.. many people mean different things when they use that word.. i get that you don't want to discuss it, so i won't pursue it, but it leaves the discussion 'empty'.. apart from anything other than my own commentary, the 'word' "God" is ambiguous and vague, and for 'me' to understand someone's meaning when they use that word, i ask for clarification..

Be well..

i understand what you mean.

let's start with basic dictionary definition:

(the link is rather "loaded" with info)

i like this one, near the very end of the page:

public forum, public thread - you can participate whenever you like. if they were private, exclusive conversations - they'd be inbox, yes?

playing moderator ... harmless. your way of acknowledging an aspect of public forum, so it's relative. not out of bounds or anything - at least not the way i see it. (playfulness and it didn't seem like mock).

A question that I suppose would be just as valid for the readers!

Lashing out at another for an unrelated issue is often not an effective way to deal w/ others abusing or attacking you.

...

Discussing the Ds is not the psychiatric territory, but metaphysical territory. The only thing that is a psychiatric reference in your comment to my remarks about my understanding of awakening , enlightenment, & ascension is in your comment about taking ‘meds everyday.’

You seem to be wanting to explore while not being very accepting of different ideas being presented.

Hiya mattie

1being was suspended (look under their name) so you are talking to thin air....

Just thought I'd mention it in case you were hoping for a response.

Personally, it seems 1% improvement in perception each day will lead to palpable, gradual enlightenment. Why assume one needs a sudden event?
