Yeah, I hear ya. Forums are like that, I rarely get the response I am expecting, or more often none at all. It's kind of a grab bag I guess. But hey, one can always respond to oneself, which you think would be a more harmonious interaction, but I find that is often not the case.... go figure.

My post are mainly refering to the supreme being and dark spiritual beings, & spiritual beings of varying conditions of Quality of Soul'self, that range between the very darkest of mind all the way through to the supreme being.

I asked if you were Australian because you said that you may look into the Padget Messages.
I thought if you lived in Australia I could have posted to you, my chronological book of the Padgett Messages. As I am not in need of it any more.

Ketzer just brought this thread on Ecclesiastes to my attention and I am reading through it now as this is indeed one of my favorite Biblical wisdom books.

Welcome to the thread, though it is not mine, and I am not sure if anyone else is here, as it late now and close to bar time.

I will put something on the Juke box for you to listen to while you read....let's see here.....ah!

Ecclesiastes 1:
New International Version
Everything Is Meaningless
1 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:
2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”

A course in Miracles workbook:
Nothing I See Means Anything.
These thoughts do not mean anything.

if something was truly meaningless, it would have no negative effect
seems to me some are assigning a meaning to meaningless

why would everything being meaningless be bad in some way?
who or what wants a meaning?
maybe meaningless is not the problem
desiring a meaning is
can this now be enough as it is?
yes if no one is there to demand or desire it to be more or different

Good points.

That quote from ACIM caught me off-guard when I first read the Workbook many years ago.... but it is absolutely brilliant !
