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.

Matthew 7:21…..”Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
Just as Jesus harshly judged the Pharisees the church is guilty of delusion if they think that they are immune from judgment. Making a show of one’ religiosity does not impress God who knows what is within your heart. Rather, most often it identifies one as a religious fundamentalist…..intent on impressing others with your dedication to your religion and its doctrines. Following the doctrines of a specific religion is not the same as doing the will of the Father.
The relationship with God is personal. If one actually has free will it is not free if it is the will of anything external to Self. Free will means you always retain the power to alter any decision that you have made. This means that you are capable of compassion…..reaching those that religion might exclude…..this implies that you are free to exercise mercy…..and the giving of mercy is a foremost identity of God…….

it seems to me like it is a matter of who is going to be selfish and taking and domineering and 'i want my own way or else' and who isn't... those who are keep their eyes and ears closed lest they lose what they have and in such a way lose what those who aren't have... and those who aren't open their eyes and ears, get rid of desires like those who are have, and in return for the measure they can do this in they are given the same measure of knowledge of the kingdom of heaven...
so it like scales, choose something to put on a scale and the other side goes up out of reach...
well that is the way i see it anyway...

It has various meanings Mo, it is a customary greeting when individuals meet and when they part ways. My favourite is 'I recognizing the divine in you'. |

Native spirit,
I just love man made books…..even the schools I attended had man made books….it is so difficult to find any books that are not man made……:) |
