Jeremiah 17:9 The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked.

Now we have a problem

Yes, we do.
After I wrote about the Heart, I did realize I should have said from Loving Heart.

So it just goes to show that communication can always be improved upon.

But the heart is deceitful and might not be as loving as it seems to be

I guess maybe I should just recite pieces of scripture.
Jesus said: "get behind me Satan" Mathew 16:23!!

I understand well that the things I like to talk about CAN'T be well received... there are rules against it and they are IMO well placed. It is a like a dr giving you a vaccine to prevent sickness.

So for me it is more a matter of the frustration of knowing that as well as i do, why can't I just quit trying already?

FallingLeaves,

I suppose the answer is that ‘hope springs eternal’……without hope we die….

I wonder would Mr Jeremiah object to me saying a 'Pure Heart' or is that also deceitful

with hope i often die... I don't think much of hope... the expectation is enormous but it always goes unfilled...

anywho I don't personally much like the idea of getting attention... I'll either end up with a big head or people will have expectations that I'm not able to or won't want to fill.. and when you are getting attention you don't get to pick and choose; you also get the attention of all sorts of cruel people too lol...

Finding enlightenment is up to the individual imo, you really don't have to share with others at all and there's no need to feel guilty about it.
You've got to find your own truth, something that resonates with you, enlightenment could be right before your very eyes but if it doesn't resonate with you then you'll never accept it.
I have experienced such thing's right here on this forum in my mission to spread love and positivity to the world, some just don't want to know however that's life for you.
Accepted with love.

Amen
