Interesting thought

[FallingLeaves]

yeah the way we all teach each other to look at physicalness, I wouldn't want to be here either lol! I see so much more than that though, in some ways it seems surreal to me...

maybe I'm wrong but I think that if you look at it the right way (whatever Im claiming that is today lol) you might see the beauty in it, might also decide that this isn't any different from any other spiritual world other than maybe being 'lower' and 'slower' lol... except that we are all going about agreeing it is what it isn't and won't look at it for what it is because we'd rather talk to each other about what we think it is lol!

yeah maybe not very many people would be able to make that kind of switch? To see something different that what others are proclaiming is there?

Or maybe more could than we think? So much I just don't know and want to leave to god any more.

But I also think that even if i'm right there is something here it isn't a place simply EVERYONE would want to be either.... I read the beattitudes sometimes like a splitting of of various spoils, the one pertaining to earth is:

'blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth'...

which tells me at the very least there is a basis for considering there might be SOMETHING here of worth.... otherwise why would jesus be giving it as a blessing to a certain group of people?

FallingLeaves,

The meek are the humble. Contrary to common thought the humble can be the most courageous of people because, not holding resentment or anger against others, they are not afraid of anyone. Think of monks, gurus, sweet little ladies etc……they exhibit no fear.

Scripture tells us that “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Every blessing of the Beatitudes can be understood as a gift of grace. To inherit the earth or anything else the one passing the inheritance will select and favor the one he deems to be the best possible custodian of his legacy. The meek check all the boxes…….

molearner - i had no idea 'meek' and 'humble' meant the same thing. Thank you!
