GOD
God, it’s a very interesting subject to talk about, certainly one I don’t suggest at a party, but its seems to drive many people to do such heinous and even in the very next moment, beautiful acts in this world. Does it really matter if god exists or not, we certainly know that we have our “own free will”, and if you believe in god do also believe in destiny, or fate, how could an all loving either to yourself or others around you. If ever are able to reach a point where you are able to experience god, you will be able to realize that there is no such thing as duality in life, there is no light/dark, no life/death, animal/vegetable, good/bad, rich/poor, strong/weak, and that all life and matter is just particles relating and interacting with each other, governed by a divine love, as Jesus said love thy enemy, which means have no enemy and you will love all equally, and you will reach a state where nothing truly matters, because if you truly lobeing allow such harm come to his/her children, and why would he/she have to be feared as the bible so adamantly states. A god should not be feared, but what should be feared are the repercussions of your own actions. Its also clear that people who have experienced god, reach a point where they realize that what ever they do is really of no importance, because he/ she already knows what we are going to do next. I’d like to think of god as more of a conscience energy force that not only binds all life and all matter of existence together, but also rules what we do tomorrow, which in essence could be called karma, and represented by the ying-yang, which can be influenced by what you do now. This can be labeled as good/bad depending upon the suffering you bring down upon this world ve somebody, without the ego, that love will begin to extend to all beings, and that no matter what they do, or how badly they think they can harm you, you will never ever become upset, angry or harmed, and regardless of what they do you will always forgive them and love them the same as any being in this world, if someone you loved in the past has hurt you, then you did not truly love them without the ego, there was a part of you that was attached to that person, or that moment, or the feeling they gave you, and when they hurt you, you felt betrayed, in some way and you became selfish only thinking about yourself. Love is used today to easily, thrown around like a ball in the back yard, very few people ever experience true love, and those who have ever experience love at first site, are not experiencing it at all for the first time, but that there was a connection from a previous life, and your attachment has bought you together again.

life and death are states of mind, and all of life consists of energy, which is in a constant state of flux, transforming from one form to another, it is not born nor succeptable to old age, it is not animal or plant, male or female, good or bad, light or dark,it is just energy,and when we die that energy transforms into something else, then if there is a god wouldnt chrisitians and all that believe in a god be happy to die, and wouldnt there families want them to die so you can go to heaven and be with the father, why would you want to stay in this world which is so full of suffering, its a pleasent notion but one that doesnt follow with the rest of the universe,............fear is never necessary and is just a byproduct of the ego, i dont beat my wife because of fear, but because of love, if im afraid to hurt her its because i know i will feel guilty, but through love its because i dont want her to feel pain.................................................."so without god there can be no love",....... which do you think has been around longer the notion of love or of god, ..........so then why are there so many wars over religion, christians, jews, and muslims have been fighting for centuries, there doesnt seem to be to much love going on there, ...............and why shouldnt we live in state of love for everybody, its a much more pleasant state to be in, stress nowdays is one of the number killers in the "first worlds", and the "fittest model" was never about the individual, the individual can never survive upon there own, you need to work as a team, god doesnt give us any ability, we give ourselves the ability, why do you think some people are successful and others are not because they believe in them self, and how many priests have been done for leud acts, even at my own school a number of brothers were derobed because of their activities with younger students, where was god then, wheres god when thousands of civilians are killed in wars, or even soldiers by friendly fire, and nothing is of eternal importance because nothing lasts for eternity, this world we live in was never meant to last for ever, the sun wont last for ever, even our bodies are in a constant state of change, dying and being reborn, and the universe only exists in a state of duality within our own mind, and if we are all gods children, the there would be no need for war, racism or any other -ism's why is jesus any more special than a homeless person or a doctor,if we are all gods children then we are just as speacial as jesus, which would then mean we are not all that special at all because we are all the same, if we were all colour blind what difference would it make it if there were blue or yellow blocks, at least you would have a home, and the more you cling you cling to duality the further from god you will be, let it go and you will be free
i dont think there are different types of fear, for me i think that all fear progresses from the same seed, from the fact we are going to loose something, wether it be a house, money, freinds or family, or our own life,....................... its not the world we live that is a state of mind but just our perception of it is a state of mind,............and i cant show that the notion of love came before God but on the other i can not prove the reverse either, ..................there are no absolutes...........and evil is not an absolute its a product of our ego, and evil is also a matter of interpretation,.........everybody has followers and enemies regardless of how bad/good there acts upon humanity were, i mean i can never understand why the jews feared jesus, when all he did was good, except for the fact their pride got in the way and he proved everything that they had followed for so long may have actually been wrong, or maybe i shouldnt say wrong but they had missinterpretated the information they had......i mean look at the gospel of judas, now that is my biggest argumment with the bible, its not is overall message you can not argue with its message but its delivery is what i dissagree with, because its based upon interpretations by men who i dont think really understood what jesus message was but again, my own interpretation, if the bible was written by one individual or by jeseus himself i think it would be far more powerful.........and suffering is good only if you are able to stop it and learn from it otherwise you will never grow, .......................and i do aggree irreligion has also done many atrocoties, but i also dont totally agree with that, how many people in those wars actually served god though or whoever their religious leader was, you never hear of priests or monks fighting a war, i think its just an easy excuse to rally people who lack teir own opinion and ability to discover for themself,..............................and i wouldnt judge a religion upon its abuses, but its message, i have always blamed man and his fears for all abuses upon this earth,....................and i think you have made a bold statement that jesus changed the human course but only for westeners, many people in asia which has a far larger population has never even heard of jesus, and now days unfortunatly which i think is a disgrace is that the golden archs, as in macdonalds, has superceeded all religions, now that is f#$%ed up, and i rarely swear, but that is a disgrace,...........................and buddha claimed that "life is suffering", there is nothing in this world that is satisfactory and all states lead to suffering sooner or later, and regardless of how rich you are, poor you are, successful, or not there is suffering, even our own bodies are the cause of most of it, and then our own ignorances are the fault of all suffering inwhich we force upon others, and its not the self as we percieve it to be, the non-self referes to the fact the we are not this body, its the body that buddha attempts to help us dissassociate ourselves from, of course we exist otherwise we wouldnt be here having this discussion, but that not place your identity in the body, our existance is primarily made up of energy which is also constantly changing, and christianity is not even known by the whole world so how can it be a world view, and that buddha want people to take reponsibilty for their own actions, its to easy to blame a god, or some other external power, buddha never claimed that there was or was not a "god", he did teach that gods, demons and heavens and hells exist, but the idea was that this state we are in now is not satisfactory and that he found a path to a better state, that is all, i feel its the same point of all religions, and should only be used as a guide and not a rule, becasue laws and rules have to change as does our existence, so a religion with strict laws and practices will not be able to survive without evoloving itself, but only in its periphery, but that the laws of the universe have and will exist for all time, ........................and the world is not a materialistic eith you can not see energy eith, all you can see of it usually is the light or feel the heat that it can produce, but my point is that all life comes down to perception, which comes down to chemical and electrical signals within our body, which are interpreted by our brain and our knowledge of the world and previous experince, and that X, is never constant but constanly evovling and changing. ............and thank you for your views, it very hard these days to find any one with a view about anything, most people i find are looking for someone to tell them what to think, which i really find frustrating, eagerly awaiting your reply
Ah my friend I’m glad you don’t hold back, evil is a product of our ego I agree, which most humans are governed by, and I classify, or interpret evil as any kind of act or situation where suffering inflicted upon oneself or any other being upon this earth
And I did look at the post you posted about Judas, very interesting, but I was interested in your point of view, and that my point was that all things can be seen from a different point of view, and that they should all be questioned, I don’t mind people following a religion, in fact I think it can be very beneficial, but I don’t think it is necessary, and its blind faith, and dogma which I have trouble with, even the last Pope, for the first time of an individual in his position actually acknowledge others religions may have something to offer, but there is no religion that is better or worse, especially seeing as they are all based upon words, and language, and they allow can not build a church, or persecute people for being a witch. All religions are based upon interpretations, our whole existence is based upon them, and they only become the norm, when every body agrees with the idea, for a long time many people thought the world was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth, and these idea were the norm until some one was brave enough, and willing to go against the common thought and prove everybody wrong, and I didn’t mean that Christianity wasn’t a world view literally, by world views I meant that the grass is green, the world is round the sky is blue, and the laws of physics, as every reaction as an exact and opposite reaction or gravity.
And there is one religion that actually describes the reality of the universe but it is not a religion per say, as to say its not based on strict organization, and thou there are a couple of religions with over a billion people throughout the world, Christianity is one of the only religions in which people have had pushed upon them, without leaving there own home or country, though this I believe has just been used as an excuse for control such as the great Mr George Bush who has never had an original thought of his own, and even as far back as the crusades or even the english in Australia about 200 hundred years ago, who stole aboriginal children from there parents and put them in “good Christian homes”, and where we still celebrate a day of discovery by Christians, even thou the aborigines had been here for between 40-60000 years before, there is no other religion that has done so much damage to other cultures around the world, though I shouldn’t say religion but the evils of men who believed that they were superior because they wore flashy cloths or had books, thou I agree there have been other religions in which atrocities have been done in their name but rarely do they leave their own country to do it, but there is one thing in common with all the evils around this world and for all of time till this day and that is man, there would be no evil if man didn’t exist, and yet we were created by god, so in turn you could argue that god created evil, the same day he created man/woman, its just an idea so don’t get to upset ha ha, ………………………I wish you happiness and good health
