Hi, I'm new to this site and love it, but I'm having a hard time find how to load Forum ID 9206. I put it up on the address line and it just keeps bringing me back to the main page. I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to on-line procedures, can you please tell me step by step how to access ID 9206. Really looking forward to reading it! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for your answer, I tried to delete this stupid question, but can't. If any moderator wants to, thats ok

The hardest thing is first admitting that you hate yourself....sounds like your on the right path.... before your can love yourself you must understand the poloraratity.....

after that its pretty much up to your goals...anyone can really do anything...i'm still learning this myself... i was poor (without the the "r", as my daughter would say "poo", too broke for the "r". But anyway...I set my goals, I did those things on the list (except I missed my baby's first step because I was workin') and everyday I bless that I AM going for new goals.....such as visiting with a master on the astral plane....there are ALWAYS goals to strive for!

[NO]

I used to feel soooo "down and out"[] that I thought about suicide, then realized it wouldn't get me anywhere always feeling like a victim! So I put a band-aid on my butt and got on with LIVING![] It's really all just an attitude change![] Once I changed my attitude, I conquered my limitations! There really are NO limitations, only limited thoughts!!!

Yes, lets forget about dieing, and think about living, then we open up ourselves to the many gifts and wonders of life![]

We can experience:
-Learning to love ones self!
-Discover the wonderful meaning of "true love"!
-Experience the profound miracle of birth!
-Weep with elation at a child's first step!
-Walk upon a spectacular glacier!
-Crawl through an ancient pyramid!
-Laugh with joy of catching a snowflake on your tongue!
-Sail over the Sarengetti in a hotair balloon!
-Watch the awesome display of a meteor shower!(There's a big one the next three nights, northeast 50-100 p/hr 2-4am!)
-Have a snowball fight on the 4th of July upon the highest peak in your continent!
-Feel the excitement of riding a speeding rollercoaster!
-Discover the fragile existence of a hummingbird's egg!
-Visit the spiritual ranch in Yelm, Washington!
-Draw on a 5X7 card, mixed it up with 3,000 others, then it gets posted on a fence backwards, in a field the size of a football field. Then allow the spirit of God within to bring you right to it while your blindfolded, while 3,000 others are trying to do the same thing!
-Feel the adrenaline rush of white-water rafting!
-Feel the appreciation of growing something in the bountiful earth!
-Enjoy the companionship of a furry friend!
-Feel the peace of floating upon the water, watching the clouds pass!
-Embrace a lover and get that warm fuzzy feeling inside your soul!
-Realize that you and God, and everyone, and everything is connected!

Well the list can go on and on forever, but I gotta go now and live![8D]

[CHANGE]

I have just spent almost an hour reading all the suggestions. Really what it comes down to are two choices:

1) If you don't like your life, just simply CHANGE it![] You DON'T have to end your life - JUST CHANGE IT! YES, IT'S THAT SIMPLE!!!!!!![]

2) If you want to kill yourself, at least do it honorably - just crucify yourself and get it overwith! [!](I know that sounds harsh, crazy, and ridiculous, but when you think about it- that's about how ridiculous committing suicide is!)

-----
P.S. - If you learned everything there was to learn here, you wouldn't be here - you would be an ascended master!

P.S.S. - You never really die, your soul endures forever, so why bother disconnecting this life from your body when you haven't finished doing whatever it is that you came here to do - you'll just have a repeat performance - and THAT is boring![]

P.S.S.S. - Right now my nephew is in the hospital, still in a coma, from trying to commit suicide because his parents took away his car keys to discipline him from something he did wrong. He revolted by swallowing two viles full of pills! He's only 16 years old![]How does that sound?

Nick, thanks so much for the reply.

However, I'm still getting the "Page cannot be found" reply. I went to the avatar website you suggested and picked Page 6, #509 (64X64) pyramid.art and it downloaded fine into "my pictures" file.

I then went to Avatar legend, Upload Your Own Avatar, Choose File,Browse, went to my "c" drive, choose "my pictures" file, highlighted the picture #509, its address automatically went onto the "Choose file" line as C:/My documents/My pictures/New folder/509.art. Then I choose "upload avatar". And still the "Page cannot be found" reply comes up. I tried it with a different picture from the avatar website and that one wouldn't work either. I also tried this process in the "edit personal profile" and the "page cannot be found" reply comes up. I don't know what wrong? Any ideas?[]

Nick, I've been trying to download an Avatar like you suggested above and it works great until I "Upload" it, then I keep getting a pop-up message that "the page cannot be found". Any suggestions? The file was from "my pictures" file.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.[]

I tried the technique and had a "Lucid Dream Projection". I agreed with Jeff Mash that I didn't like the idea of going forward "to death" on the time line (because of lying down the "to birth" line would go down). So I figured I'd lay on my side and I went down the "to birth" line by seeing dates along the line and consciously moved with them, fell asleep, woke up in a lucid dream thinking about what I was just doing and popped out and above myself in a different place, flew around inside, went outside flying by an old lady walking down the street who didn't notice me, got REAL heavy and began crawling back to my body up the street, then woke up.

Upon waking up I was alittle upset to realize it was a lucid dream and not an OBE, so I referred back to RB's book under "lucid dream projection" and sure enough - was reminded that he always has ldp's when laying on his left side. He recommends sitting up for best OBE chance!

Has anyone ever had an OBE from lying on side? Or has anyone tried "The Life Line Technique" laying on their back. Is it that the line can't go into the earth and must stretch out in the ethers? I'll try sitting next time.[]

Kerrblur:

In Robert Bruce's book Astral Dynamics he describes the silver cord in great detail on pgs. 397-403. It was really interesting and packed with information regarding the cord. Do you have the book? If not I can tell you a little of what the book says.

Also, I was wondering what you thought about the information I gave here on the "magical brain"?

Jenadots, that was beautiful![][^]

Kerrblur, I don't know much about OBEs and the silver cord. That's why I came to this website, to learn. However, I found myself in this forum, not quite sure how that happened? But I will research the silver cord and some OBE stuff and get back to you in a couple of days. My husband did make me aware of an OBE in the bible in Kings referenced in my post above.

[undivided wholeness]

Part II:   It is extremely difficult to condense years of research and an abundance of information in a short essay, but here it is. If you don't get it – read the books like I did![]

Exothen: You spoke of Psychology when you quoted "we use all of our brains".  Well I would like to introduce you to "the magical brain" and a little Quantum Mechanics. This will bridge science and our divinity (like the kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed (Matt 13:31)) and will be in reply to exothen's quote: "we have no power in and of ourselves".  Well, not according to Quantum Mechanics and our "god-given brain".[]

In order to do this we need to get down to the very "tiny" quanta level. It proves we have a will/intent and an "observer" which together give heed to "consciousness and energy create the nature of reality".

In 1803, Thomas Young used the double-slit experiment. This experiment and the most important implication arising from the study of quantum mechanics is the role that the Observer (you and me) plays in the nature of reality. David Bohm, in his book Wholenss and the Implicate Order (London: Routledge, 1980), 134, concludes that "Rather, the primary emphasis is now on undivided wholeness, in which the observing instrument is not separable from what is observed". Modern quantum physicists are taking seriously the role of the Observer by exploring the relationship and role of consciousness in the material world. See Amit Goswami, The Self-Aware Universe (New York: Tarcher/Putnam, 1995). Even describing the true order of the universe is difficult because it involves something more than the physical world. It involves us, our minds, and our thoughts. When we observe mass, all the electrons stop exactly at the point that we observe them. See Fred Alan Wolf Taking the Quantum Leap, (New York: Harper & Row, 1989). What the observer "thinks" can become his reality.[]

Most people are taught to use less than ten percent of their brains. The typical human uses only a part of his neocortex, with very little activity in the midbrain and lower cerebellum. Each neuron in the cerebellum has a thousand times more connections than the neurons in the rest of the brain. That means a scraping of cerebellum, the size of your little fingernail, has more neutron connections than the whole neocortex! Wow! [:O] What's going on down there? And can we make better use of it? Jesus did not limit himself to the use of the neocortex, but instead expanded his mind and used the powers of his God-given lower cerebellum.[8D]

The neocortex (our altered ego/personality) is set up so we can do all the regular things humans do while awake, like talk, have fun, worry, whatever. The neocortex accommodates anyone from a nerd, to a sports hero, to a fabulous genius. No matter the stupidity, fame, or even smarts, a human can grow up, work hard, have some joys and sorrows, then die, all right inside the neocortex.[xx(]

The midbrain allows us to be psychic and to see into the future. It is the only part of the brain that is sensitive as a receiver to infrared radiation (8 hertz). Animals today are very telephathic because their brains are ultrasensitive to infrared radiation.

The cerebellum, along with the brainstem is the oldest part of the brain. Its part of the reptilian brain and is a small three-lobed structure behind the occipital lobe at the posterior part of the brain. It is our subconscious mind, fulfills our intent to walk, move, and make dreams come true, and possibly even live longer than people normally do. Your brain is equipped to do magical things. Instead of being concerned with peer pressure and survival (altered ego – living in the neocortex) you have the option to use your brain to make unlikely dreams come true and to do superhuman things.[:O]

The cerebellum is unique in the fact that it has apprx. one million connections per neuron, where the average neuron of the neocortices, has anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000  connections! Our greatest skills and most developed learned tasks are rooted to the cerebellum. It is the servant that executes, controls, and coordinates the body to follow a thought from the neocortex. Once motivated to act, (like riding a bike) it carries out an activity in an almost automatic fashion. It is as if this part of the brain takes over the body and becomes a simple, natural, "subconscious process." (Analogical Mind) Think of the neocortex as the "thinker" and the cerebellum as the "doer".  When unified, we have a natural "state of being".[]

Everything from learning to type and mastering it, to playing the piano and mastering it, to skiing and mastering it, etc, is all possible. By this process, it is equally possible to become a healer and heal without ever having to think about it (Matt 9:22; Luke 7:9, 17:14); to develop our psychic ability (Matt 16:21) and have it become natural and easy; to live in and experience other dimensions on a daily basis (having OBE's (2 Kings 6:12)); to be able to manifest objects (Luke  9:16) and realities intentionally without effort (Luke 5:4-7); and to perform miracles at will (John 2:8, Matt 8:26) as long as we have the knowledge that our thinking neocortex can conceive and model. Then all we need is to give ourselves the permission to practice it (Matt 7:7) until the cerebellum remembers it and unifies it to a "state of being". The cerebellum is our connection to the mind of God because it will consistently endorse all of our focused intentions. It has the fabric within its machinery. With its millions of connections per neuron, the memory already exists within, waiting to be activated. Perhaps we only need to develop the skill of remembering what we do not consciously know but we have subconsciously recorded as the collective memories of our evolution of our species.[]

A truly evolving spiritual person is not an individual with intellectual skill and memory of prayer or scripture. A spiritual person also is not a person that performs repetitive rituals without knowledge and awareness. A spiritually enlightened person, such as Jesus, is one who activates the whole brain by using the neocortices to marry philosophical knowledge with the experienced memory of the cerebellum so that thinking begets doing, which ultimately manifests a "state of being" (Mark 9:2-3). When we arrive at this state independent of the feedback from our bodies, our environment, and enslavement of time, we are truly evolved. Then making known what is not known can be a simple as riding a bike – and we will never forget how to do it![][8D][]

PART I
exothen:
I think it is unfortunate that the Bible condemns mediums, because mediums don't receive information from Satan, they receive it from spirit world. Since you "believe" in Satan, you've learned he exist in that hot, flaming hell-hole, not the plane of bliss of the spiritual realm.

I don't understand why you are condemning mediums, clairaudience and clairvoyance, when I don't think you realize what the definition terms of these things are. If you did, maybe we'd be on the same team.[]

Webster dictionary defines the following:
Mediums:  "an individual through whom other persons seek to communicate with the spirits of the dead and who is held by such persons to be a channel of communication between the early world of the living and a nontemporal spiritual realm of the departed."
Oracle: The revelation or response of a medium or priest.

I'll try to sum up pages of research My First Encounter With An Angel, pgs 102-105: To translate oracle from English to Hebrew (consulting The Englishman's Hebrew and Chaldee Concordance of the Old Testament) you would find two Hebrew words (I don't know how to type the symbols on the computer (book has it) we have: debir and dabar (dabar having ^ over the "a"s.) One should be aware that small dots and dashes underneath letters are vowels, which create the difference between the words, changing their meaning. In ancient times, the scribes DID NOT write the vowels in the Biblical text, thereby creating ambiguity as to the exact mean of many passages of the Bible.

The Englishman's Hebrew and Chaldee Concordance of the Old Testament indicates debir (as a noun) means 'the place where oracles were given'. The Theological Wordbook for the Old Testament explains that debir ...refers to the holy of holies and is translated sixteen times in the King James Version (KJV) and ASV as "oracle".

Dabar (with ^over a's) is also a noun that can mean oracle. . The Theological Wordbook for the Old Testament explains as "....is translated eighty-five different ways in KJV!...basically means what God said or says." It is also used 1400 times in the Old Testament, examples:
And Moses told Aaron all the words of (dabar) the Lord.(Exo 4:28)
And God spake all these words (dabar), saying...(Exo 20:1 (The Ten Commandments)
a man had enquired at the oracle (dabar) of God...(2 Sam 16:23)
and see what answer (dabar) I shall return to him...(2 Sam 24:13)
according to the saying (dabar) of Elisha which he spake...(2 Kings 2:22)

The English language has no verb meaning "oracle", yet it exists in Hebrew and yet the Old Testament uses the verb form of oracle dabar (a verb with ^ over only the first "a") 1100 times:
As the Lord had spoke (dabar) unto him...(Gen 12:4). Also (Exo 33:11; 1 Kings 5:5; 2 Kings 1:3;  etc, etc,

The point is this is one of many examples where the psychic connotation of a Hebrew word was lost in the translation to English. English readers are left unaware that every time God spoke, it was to a medium who possessed the gift of clairaudience. So to translate correctly we would have "And the Lord spake unto Moses" would become "And Spirit oracularly spoke to Moses." But using a 21st century understanding of psychic science, this phrase would metamorphose into: "And Spirit clairaudiently spoke to Moses."


I don't care whether you think Paul was a medium or not, even though he was because he "heard" voices from the
Clairaudience:  the act or power of hearing something not present to the ear but regarded as objective reality.

The bible is filled with the gift of clairaudience, some examples of them hearing something not present to the ear....:
"And God spake unto Noah, saying" (Gen 8:15)
"And the Lord spake unto Moses saying" (num 8:1).
"Then the Lord called Samuel, Samuel" (1 Sam 3:4)
"This is the message which the Lord spoke to Jeremiah." (Jer 46:13) etc, etc, etc, etc,
get the point?


Clairvoyance: the ability to see images beyond the range of normal visions.

Abraham saw God (Gen 12:7); Moses saw the burning bush (Ex 3:2-6); and also Amos (1:2), Jeremiah (1:11-14), and Ezekiel (37:1-14) all saw psychic phenomena.

Exothen:  I was also wondering what you were doing on this web-site, since it was created by Robert Bruce who states that he is a energy clairvoyant on page 185, speaking about the "strobe effect".  

You quoted: "the source of clairvoyance and clairaudience are not of God!"

Oh dear![xx(] Do you consider being on this site and hob-nobing with hundreds of people endowed with clairvoyance and clairaudience conversing with people Satan speaks through?[:O] Maybe you should get off before you burn in hell's damnation![] By the way – do you possess any gifts? If so, are you sure its not Satan on the other end? RIDICULOUS. It would probably be beneficial to think "open-mindedly", use your common sense and research A LOT deeper, instead of just thinking what the church and the bible tells you too. You do have a mind of your own don't you?

Then you say "we have no power in and of ourselves" – Then go on about some New Age stuff. The heck with the new age. The problem is the church has separated everyone from God. We are NOT separate from God. Reason it out. Did God, the Creator – create us? Yes. Then we contain a part of those ENERGIES of the Creator, how can you be separate from that? Doesn't make sense. To think one is separate from God is a really sad "belief system". When I even say the words I can feel my soul mourn. Can't you? Now say to yourself – God and I are not separate. Doesn't that feel fabulous.[] Doesn't your soul just leap with joy! That is proof! What one feels is right. Not what their told to "believe". It has to be a "knowingness". A feeling experience that becomes your truth.

This goes hand to hand with:
My God quote –
God created all, therefore, god is all. Oh! By the way check out:

John 10:34   Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods'?
See, even Jesus says we have a piece of God Within us! God is all.

John 14:12   Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes in me, the works that I do shall be do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.

Jesus also acknowledges the gifts of the spirit and says we can do greater works than him.: the gifts of the spirit are: Clairaudience, clairvoyance, healing, materialization, OBE's, direct voice, apports, levitation, automatic writing, remote view, sending and receiving, dowsing, prophecy, dreams, psychometry, trance, etc. All these gifts are given to us and we were created by God, therefore, they are God given gifts. []Smile, God loves you![]

Part II to follow.

Kerrblur- To try and answer some more of your questions, I don't know about whats "new age" or not, never researched it & it doesn't matter to me. Its good that you ask why God gave man gifts if they're to be condemned. Man condemns the gifts (mostly those who have none, not God.) Remember God didn't write the Bible, man did. And God spoke through MANY prophets and seers, (today called mediums). So reason it out for yourself. Everyone has the gifts, only few have developed them, just like learning to ride a bike. If one never tried, they'd never learn. That's what were doing here with OBE's. Also our species only uses up to 10% of their brain. What's the other 90% for? Holding our faces and hairdo's up?[]HeHe. This 90% is the sleeping abilities within us, our piece of God within us. Why did God give us a brain that big? Can you imagine what we could do if 100% was working! Wow! Beautiful[]! Again, reason it out for yourself.

As for material to defend yourself with to bring to church, the book "My First Encounter With An Angel" by Sidney Schwartz will certainly cover that. It points out how verses were changed from the original Hebrew text, points out the verses and explains the gifts performed by Daniel, Elijah, Jesus, etc., and gives definitions for all the gifts. Excellent reading. But be prepared - it will knock your socks off! It can be found on Amazon.com, check it out. But you must realize here that your trying to connect spiritual development and the christian religion, when the christian religion has been, for centuries, doing the exact opposite, DISCONNECTING! If everyone learned to develop their gifts, what would they need the church for? They wouldn't need a pastor/priest to talk to God for them, when they can do it themselves? You see? So the church condemns it, not God, who gave the gifts. The church doors would close. Good luck if you wish to argue with them, anything you bring up will be denied. But its always good to learn the truth yourself. My husband and I found that we had to leave our church and move onto a group more "like minded".

When I stated Cor Chapters 12-14 were "hidden", I merely meant that you NEVER hear of these verses in church or church teachings. At least I NEVER had in 8 years of Catholic school with religion as a graded subject, or any of the 20 years going to Catholic/Baptist services. They don't want to bring that up. WHY??? Reason it out for yourself. You only hear the popular stories, Adam & Eve, Noah, Birth of Christ, and OF COURSE his death, which he isn't dead, so why is everyone a sinner? []

As for the "Gifts of the Spirit" not being related to psychic phenomena - again reason it out. Psychic comes from the Greek word psychikos that means soul, or mind. Phenomenon meaning - a fact or event of unique or special significance. In 1 Corinthin 12:8-11, Paul (a medium via Jesus) describes the many different abilities demonstrated by the power of the soul, through the Spirit of God: - "utterance of wisdom" and "utterance of knowledge" are today called clairvoyance, clairaudience, and prophecy, there is also healing, etc.. What else would you call it? And, if the only people who had those gifts were Christians, - Isaiah (not a Christian) prophesies the birth of Christ, how did he do that when Christianity hadn't been developed yet, because Jesus hadn't been born or died yet. And what about all the other guys with gifts in the Old Testament? Are they just chop-liver?[]HeHe - Boy this takes toooooooo much energy I'd prefer to spend on developing OBE's and other gifts![]
Parting note:
Kerrblur - I recommend reading the book mentioned above - it WILL give you what your searching for. Also, if you want to connect science with spituality there is "The Field" by Lynne McTaggart, excellent! or any books on quantum physics. I could go on and on with this subject, but much prefer to use my energies learning in other forums than debating here. I'm going to hang out in other forums - but before I go, a little food for thought: REASON THIS OUT - Adam & Eve were the only people that God created, they had only two children at that time, Cain & Abel (Gen 4:1-2) and then Cain & Abel "knew" their wifes (Gen 4:17-19). WHO DID CAIN AND ABEL MARRY? Where did those beautiful wifes come from?[:O]  

As for proof of God's existence - Just look out your window! Is the universe big enough proof? God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent! He's not a bearded old man dwelling in some piece of real estate in the sky. God is an Energy Force! - of great magnitude that pulsates through everything, all of us, everything has a piece of God within. God is in the ultra-violet blue of the butterfly, the whispering wind kissing your face, an insect's spectacular wings, a spider's neatly woven web splashed with dew, a fishes shimmering scales, the joy of childrens laughter, and the warm feeling inside of lovers embracing. God is all![]

Lots of luck, let me know how you do![]

I helped a friend of mine, author of "My First Encounter With An Angel" research over 160 bibles (see topic ID=8018) and this is what we found:

exothen - your right the Bible does condemn psychic phenomena - except hidden in Corinthians we have it applauding "gifts of the spirit":

quote:1 Cor. 12:01   46.1201   BRAV   1951   Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethen, I would not have you ignorant.
1 Cor. 12:04-11   46.120411   BRAV   1951   Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of services, but the same Lord. And there are varieties of workings, but it is the same God which works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every one for the benefit of all. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another various kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. But all these works that one and the selfsame Spirit, distributing to each one particularly as he will. For just as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many are one body: so also is Christ.
1 Cor. 14:01   46.1401   BRAV   1951   Follow after love, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.
1 Cor. 14:04   46.1404   BRAV   1951   He that speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the congregation.
1 Cor. 14:05   46.1405   BRAV   1951   I would that you all spoke with tongues, but rather that you prophesied: for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he interpret, that the congregation may receive edifying.
1 Cor. 14:26   46.1426   BRAV   1951   How is it then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongues, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edifying.
1 Cor. 14:27   46.1427   BRAV   1951   If any one speak in a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most three, and in succession; and let one interpret.
1 Cor. 14:28   46.1428   BRAV   1951   But if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the congregation; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
1 Cor. 14:29   46.1429   BRAV   1951   Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the others judge.
1 Cor. 14:30   46.1430   BRAV   1951   If any thing be revealed to another sitting by, let the first be silent.
1 Cor. 14:31   46.1431   BRAV   1951   For you may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
1 Cor. 14:32   46.1432   BRAV   1951   And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
1 Cor. 14:33   46.1433   BRAV   1951   For God is not of confusion, but of peace, as in all congregations of the saints.

[]

Also the proof of God's existence is the glueon that holds you together![]

Hey Ybom, maybe your friend needs his brain washed?[]HeHe. Just kidding. It can be hard to shake off all the dogma you've been brought up with. Its not easy to teach an old dog new tricks![] I still stuggle from time-to-time with some issues. One must begin with small steps before he can run (or fly)[]! Years ago I began with research on angels. It begins to open your mind into the para-normal world/beings in other dimensions and go on from there.

Beavis - Jesus and Budda were beautifully gifted men who turned into master teachers. Jesus had all his psychic abilities/gifts of the Spirit working: Clairaudience/Clairvoyance (transfiguration on the mount); Healing; Apports (multiplied food); Levitation (walking on water), etc. I agree with you that God has been distorted, but because ignorant men distort "God" doesn't mean there isn't such a thing. I agree with you when you say God is similar to astral, yes! energy! of great magnitude that pulsates threw everything, all of us, everything has a piece of God within. God is in the butterfly, the whispering wind, an insects wings, a fishes scales, childrens laughter, lovers embrace. God is all![]

Please be aware that when you read the Bible/scriptures/testaments, you must remember that a man wrote them upon his beliefs/opinions. God is not the author of the Bibles, and they have been delibertely changed over the centuries based on the need for Churches to suppress psychic/spiritual development and to control the masses. Also remember that there are hundreds of Bibles and many verses are written differently with totally different meanings that have twisted the original meaning. I have typed over 160 Bibles comparing verses for a friend of mine, Sidney Schwartz, who wrote the book "My First Encounter With An Angel". Prompted through a channelled entity, who claims the Bible has been altered, (my friend, being Jewish and denying any tampering of the word of God) begins a quest to disprove the channelled entity and begins to compare verses and also discovers how the Bible is "saturated with metaphysical or mediumistic phenomena of every kind." I was amazed on how different the hundreds of bibles were. I grew up Catholic "believing" the words were true. Anyway - after the last few years of researching metaphysical information, I conclude that everything is philosophy until it is experienced, then it can be considered your "truth". It has to be a "knowingness" instead of a belief system, because if you say you "believe" in something instead of "knowing" you are really saying "it could be, maybe, or maybe not". I hope I'm making sense here, sometimes I have such deep profound feelings, but have difficultly expressing it in words.[]
