Gnostic Bishop I love the name it reminds me of the Gnostic Gospels that were found quite recently. Well recently compared to the original gospels and when they were written. Does that have anything to do with your choice of username?

I am a child of God.

What is keeping you from adulthood/graduating?

We are to "put away the things of children". No?

I totally agree about the love leading to people pleasing in order for us to control the people around us. Well we are ego based aren't we. I think we have the choice to do, not being, good or bad. It's why we do it, that's what fascinates me. Human nature, or should that be human nurture?

Nurture we have changed.

Nature we have not.

We, as a part of nature, are expressed by our DNA and chemistry.

In this we have no choice in the present or past, but can change the future somewhat.

I believe we have no choice in what has happened as it's gone and we don't know what the future holds for us, do we? The only thing we have any control of is this second. And now it's gone. That's our power source, the here and now. That's what we have a choice over. What do you think?

Ps. I like to think that I have a childlike innocence to my personality at times. Unfortunately I allow grown up stuff prevent my inner child from coming out to enjoy her life as often as she could do.

Wow this thread has blown me away. I don't believe I just know that we're all connected to one another and something's I do will go out into the universe and affect others, although I don't know who or how. Didn't Jesus say that not one sparrow falls to earth without the father in heaven knowing about it. That's the connectedness I'm talking about.

I feel that sometimes my light shines brightly to attract like minded people but at others it hardly shines at all and that's when less enlightened beings enter my space.

But I love the thought that I'm a star maker, is that right. I felt very powerful when I read that. And yes, I am the Goddess and she is me. We coexist as without one of us neither would exist at all. I really do feel you Mr. Peabody.

Love this.

I will will recognize your brightness if you see Satan as she is. The heroine of Adam and Eden.

Women, thank all the Gods and Goddesses, are the root of all evil, for a species that competes and is is hierarchical like ours.

This is why Yahweh gave her a greater power of deception than his own. Being androgynous, I think Yahweh split from Satan the way Eve split from Adam. A God only lowers his power to a wife.

You might be sorry you asked.

Let me speak to the lie of Gnostic Christians hating matter.

I wrote this to refute the false notion that Gnostic Christians do not like matter and reality that the inquisitors propagated to justify their many murders of my religion’s originators.

The Gnostic Christian reality.

Gnostic Christian Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all.

[And after they have reigned they will rest.]"

"If those who attract you say, 'See, the Kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you.

If they say to you, 'It is under the earth,' then the fish of the sea will precede you.

Rather, the Kingdom of God is inside of you, and it is outside of you.

[Those who] become acquainted with [themselves] will find it; [and when you] become acquainted with yourselves, [you will understand that] it is you who are the sons of the living Father.

But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."

As you can see from that quote, if we see God's kingdom all around us and inside of us, we cannot think that the world is anything but evolving perfection. Most just don't see it and live in poverty. Let me try to make you see the world the way I do.

Here is a mind exercise. Tell me what you see when you look around. The best that can possibly be, given our past history, or an ugly and imperfect world?

Candide.
"It is demonstrable that things cannot be otherwise than as they are; for as all things have been created for some end, they must necessarily be created for the best end.”

That means that we live in the best of all possible worlds, because it is the only possible world, given all the conditions at hand and the history that got us here. That is an irrefutable statement given entropy and the anthropic principle.

I didn't mention Gnostic Christians per se, I was speaking about spirituality. Not Christianity. They're two separate and different things aren't they? Whilst I believe that Jesus and God are mentioned they seem to speak of a more understanding and compassionate higher power. To my mind. The Gospel of Philip from what I read and understood seems more in line with Buddhist teachings, or is it Taoist teachings. I'm not sure which one I thought it seemed to parallel.

One uses mass murder while the other does not.

Jesus, like all of Jewry follow the Oral Torah that put's man above God.

Jesus himself in the Bible asks us all, have ye forgotten that ye are Gods?

 

[Babygirl25]

It has so many contradictions. The old testament is so punishing yet the new testament shows love and compassion. I personally just try a few not rules but ways to live my life that allow me to connect with my own spirituality and my higher power. I think any supposedly God given man made religions just don't appeal to me at all as I don't think it's a case of black or white.

You are correct in all but your view of the N.T.

Jesus bringing Armageddon and another genocide makes that Jesus just as immoral as his father.

 

[kiely]

Ditto.

What did you conclude?

Are we good, or evil, or both, as our dualistic reality demands of all concepts?

I say that we default to our good side, cooperation and love, and do not go the other way, competition and it's evil, a loser, unless what is love is being jeopardized or needs protecting.

Science has shown this in baby and children experiments.

We default to love so as to make friends so that we can eventually rule over them.

We are all born thinking that we are the best of breed and top of the line and act like it, until proven otherwise.

We used to look for such in religious thinking and the seeking of God, but such Divine Councils no loner exist. Unfortunate that.

I don't know. I have to watch it again. lool

Thank you for your comments.

How we handle our climate crisis will determine just how alright or collectively dysfunctional we are.

We cannot change the past. We can only try for the best possible future.

Yes And .... energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.

Let's hope and then, also, that we can and do try to make it change for the better, as well.

Thank you always for your comments again.

I hope that your day is good and that you have a wonderful day too.

I detest Neil, but his vision is underselling things, because it relies on the atomistic view.. a view which imposes borders on a scene that has none. It's like the Victorian landscape painters, framing an image of a landscape to convey beauty, but in doing so they lose the ties to the whole movement in the landscape. That's the establishment way, trying to impose a vision upon a scene that already is - a garden doesn't end at its borders or fencing.

It's not that over a gazillion years a few atoms from here or there recycle their way into our bodies from across a galactic space, brought across on winds of plasma that waft between worlds. It's that every 'atom' is inextricably linked to every other, is reliant on every other, for its very existence. Every thing we call a particle is instantaneously recreated out of the action of every other particle throughout space, at an inconceivable speed. Like ripples and waves on the ocean. It is one movement, not an infinity of individual movements.

20th century science and the church hate this idea for similar reasons, because without any borders everywhere is the centre, it puts every individual equally at the centre of the Universe. And this is a reflection of our ego itself, because it falsely believes it is a separate isolated entity.

"Of the entire universe you are the subtle cause. All is because you are. Grasp this point firmly and deeply and dwell on it repeatedly. To realise this as absolutely true, is liberation." - Nisargadatta Maharaj
