Re: Religion vs. Godliness

The being that you are
is of the Being
and shares all the qualities of the Being.

If it were not so
there would be separation,
other than Entirety,
more than All.
====

Laying aside the mechanics and metaphysics of what precedes one's "decision" to look north instead of east, it is within your purview to look the one way or the other. And by this intent, the Will is manifested in the direction you look; and not manifested, in that moment, in the direction you didn't look.
=====

The human is along for the ride
asleep at the wheel
dreaming he's controlling the pedals.

The being (in the human being)
is of the Being
and All That Is is his.
=========

Our error is that we attempt to add (the concepts of) the qualities of the Being, of God, to our human self--appended like some sort of accessory, like a bracelet or necklace--and this is folly; for all the qualities of Being--Truth, Love, Peace, Goodness, Power, Will, etc--are in "our" being and are known in our being and are manifested, by intent of our being, from There.

Love it Love it Love it!

this is why this thread has the potential to be this beneficial.
our perspectives and modes of expression are immeasurably different, yet i can wholeheartedly agree that we experience the same Truth!

i am many a 'time' Boggled in Awe, at the different realities our consciousnesses seamlessly float through..
if Reality was reduced to a "most-likely scenario", nothing would Exist!
yet here You and I are, against all odds or mechanistic reason..
but what of Spiritual Reason?? Haa! another matter ENTIRELY!

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

----------------------

to say, " i am simply happy to be here ", is not a description of my emotional state..
i merely describe the level of power i am able to express in this body, in this place..
the most "I" can do, is simply Be..Happy!

being that our conscious minds possess progressively less of the remnants that want to stay in 'control'(ego), Our observations are Astute and Timely!

'my' hand is off the joystick..

ensure your tray tables are Up, and locked in position!
unfasten those silly seat-belts..Breath Easy..and DO NOT brace for impact.
in ONE Moment, We Will Arrive at Our Destination.
i LOVE THIS GAME!


we see each 'other'. nothing more. we are made to be a 'model' for 'others'.
'others' see this 'model', and it is Emulated in 'them'.

'They' think we "teach", but we merely ARE.

What makes Us do what we do and Why?

Are we Crying yet?

I guess I've just never been exposed to such wide spread DEEP rotted brainwashing. It amazes me how powerful it can be.

Where's the scientology thread? I would like to increase my overall enlightenment.

Possible the most revealing Freudian slip in the history of RGT.

1. They have become too seduced by worldly things like coca cola, trainers and spangly clothes.

2. Amen. They can't handle the truth.

Re: Religion vs. Godliness

reminds me of : "Zarathustra jests in “On Apostates” that the old gods died a long time ago, not in a twilight (as with the liar Wagner), but in a good godlike way:
…one day they laughed themselves to death. That happened when the most godless word issued from one of the gods themselves – the word: “There is one god. Thou shalt have no other god before me!... then all the gods laughed and rocked on their chairs and cried, “Is not just this godlike that there are gods but no God?” "
