the question is, at what point do you KNOW the difference between distance and not-distance, while at the same time being correct in your knowledge?
It seems you can't get there without a teacher, and you can't get there with a teacher. Here is a radical thought for you: maybe you need both. |

I honestly believe that God hates some sins more than others. For example, if a man steels some food to feed his impoverished family, God will still despise the act, but to a lesser degree compared to if said man had committed armed robbery and killed some people in the process.

Who believes here that God hates?
I believe that God does not hate because i believe that hatred is a result from the mode called Duality.
Who believes here that God dwells in a 'place' of duality?
I do not know, who knows this for certain?
I only know that this universe is the primordial embodiment of duality.
Who here believes this Infinite, Brilliant, Loving Being would need a sacrifice of any kind?
Most definately. I think that change on itself is not enough to prove devotion. Because change on itself is inevitable in this universe and everything that dwells within it. Everything in the mode of duality is bound to change in one way or another if it wants this or not. Therefore i believe that it is sacrifice that proves true devotion. Because sacrifice is forced change against all odds through sheer determination.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Lemme ask you this, just curious, with respect...
where do you get these ideas about God?
I mean, we have church, books, the Bible , our parents ...personal knowledge and, thus, direct contact with God?
I'm not confronting you ..you don't even have to answer, really.
