Quirky, eh?
I'll give ya quirky!!!!

Ya know I've told about many profound experiences for years here in my innocent enthusiasm.
I'm just done doing that in groups.
Suffice it to say, many amazingly wonderful things happen when you have meditated for over 4 decades many xs 3-6 hr a sitting.
Things many can not believe...they might not be able to even imagine the 'stillness' one
must create within to have these awesome experiences; instilling deep reverence and gratitude and joy.

(I like telling people, God loves silence and stillness ---it is the invitation He waits for in that Sacred Place in the heart...
it is like a welcome mat to Him...a moth to a flame, a human heart that has prepared a place for Him...
He can not resist it...visiting you personally...it is His Nature to be drawn to sincere love for Him.)

*"He" Who has no gender.

Dear Miss Hepburn,

This is certainly the reality to be found on platforms such as spiritual forums. Regardless of the experience someone has and is invited to share, the filters of readers beliefs will always determine how they paint in value the portrait of your own sacred journey.

I always prefer to convey, who I am is irrelevant to these threads; who you choose to be is that which should be the basis of dialogue in any common question about the afterlife.

On silence…
Amusing things can happen within silence; for when the distillation of self is left mute to the universe, the entire universe suddenly wants to speak through you!

bobjob, is disagreement ok? Is it ok to point out where someone's statement is wrong? Are we trying to get at the truth here, or are we indulging fantasy? I appreciate that we do not want to engage in personal insult, but sometimes people take criticism of their ideas as personal. I do not.

disagreement? I have no issues with folk disagreeing over points and explaining why one isn't accurate or valid - provided they are not disagreeable in the way they do it....

Come over to 'my' website and you'll find you can even debate points - I don't mind debate! Just like here, though, it's expected members aren't disagreeable in the way they discuss or debate points.

As for getting at the truth I'm sure there will be disagreement over what's considered "the truth" in the context of spiritual issues, As for asking if we are (quote) "indulging fantasy" I suggest we should tread carefully so as to avoid unwarranted offence.

I do agree that some individuals take even disagreement over points as personal criticism but deliberate personal criticism is quite reasonably seen as breaking website rules.

OK SHRIKER if you have anymore issues with this Forum ...pls Direct them to Native spirit or Lynn...kay?

No more talk about disagreeing here.
Thanks AND if you just can not help yourself, ha, take it off the Forum in a pm to the person...keeping it nice and civil.

So here is a question: For those seeking a spiritual path, does it matter whether or not the universe was formed by a big bang? I think it matters. And all evidence points to a big bang. Should we rely on something other than factual evidence, like someone's opinion. Well you can if you wish, but it may be misleading you, and I would claim that could be deleterious to your seeking.

I'm perfectly comfortable that it matters to you. Can you be comfortable when I tell you it does not matter to me? The creation point of this particular universe will have no impact on my spiritual progression.

For you it matters; for me it doesn't. There is no single path that's right for everyone.....

Factual evidence is great but I also learn from others. Sometimes it's from a spiritually-evolved teacher or guide. Sometimes it's from a woman or a man. Sometimes it's from a place I can't locate or define. More ways to skin a cat than one...
