I AM or Know Thyself?

One of the most known quotes by Plato is, “Know Thyself”.

One of the most misunderstood quotes attributed to God is, “I Am”. 

Let’s look at those two paradigms. According to buy prada vpr 72h history as we know it, the words attributed to God were written some 400 years before Plato gave his assessment of what buy prada vpr 72h it takes to navigate the journey of life. Who really knows anything about who buy prada vpr 72h they truly are? How many decades does it buy prada vpr 72h take to even get a clue about the reality of life much less how we fit into the buy prada vpr 72h scheme of things? 

So, what’s the reality or the mechanisms within which we KNOW SELF? 

Knowing self is buy prada vpr 72h really knowing the ego and or the CONTENTS of the ego. Our ego is buy prada vpr 72h a basket full of thrills and spills. It’s a buy prada vpr 72h library full of the dramas of our life, our social identities, judgments, and buy prada vpr 72h opinions of how the world has and is treating us. The ego travels in a buy prada vpr 72h circuitous route (much like the Hebrews in the buy prada vpr 72h wilderness, walking in circles and only reaching decisions that it buy prada vpr 72h wants to find. In other words the ego presents the buy prada vpr 72h world to itself and says- that’s me. 

Discovering the I AM is a totally different approach. 

The ego can’t relate to buy prada vpr 72h I AM because it involves a DETACHMENT from the world and buy prada vpr 72h whatever the ego might think. I AM is without opinion, judgment, or buy prada vpr 72h bias. It just IS, and in fact, everything else is neither right nor wrong, but BEING. Say what? Exactly! Rust is buy prada vpr 72h neither good nor bad, but the result when iron is exposed to buy prada vpr 72h humidity. The go can’t handle things just BEING: it needs to label and judge. 

Knowing thyself is buy prada vpr 72h a good place to start, but the end game is I AM.

I Am (is) God

If one doesn’t use ancient King James religious language, some Christians will label you buy prada vpr 72h a heretic or maybe a member of a cult organization. The religious definition of a buy prada vpr 72h cult is anyone who has ideas that don’t agree with yours. Thus, the buy prada vpr 72h world is full of cults. But, I digress. God has a buy prada vpr 72h NAME and it’s not God, it’s I AM! Continue reading ‘I Am (is) God’

God’s Final Word

Christianity orthodoxy teaches that the majority of God’s creations wind up on the buy prada vpr 72h short end of the stick. How many BILLIONS of God’s creations came with a built-in flaw? Why would God do such a thing, knowing in advance as He (no gender intended) does. He is omniscient isn’t he? And omnipotent too? Then how in the “proverbial hell” can He allow US, His creations to have the LAST WORD? Tell me how that works. Continue reading ‘God’s Final Word’ buy prada america\'s cup

God, Allah, And Zen

Why does it matter the name that we give the Creator of ther universe? The difficult but unvarnished answer is buy prada vpr 72h because every religion thinks that ALL other religions are heretical and buy prada vpr 72h false. And since each religion has it’s own name for buy prada vpr 72h this Creator, to even verbalize the name of another religion’s God is buy prada vpr 72h tantamount to anathema. In other words, you will be run out of your buy prada vpr 72h church, denomination, or religion on a fast rail. Continue reading ‘God, Allah, And Zen’

Gnostic Religion

As I was pondering some of the buy prada vpr 72h orthodoxy of my Christian faith, this rainy Sunday, I wondered what buy prada vpr 72h my life would have been like had there not been buy prada vpr 72h such an emphasis on a patriarchial deity. Would I have been a better husband? What is gnosticism had won out the day 2,000 years ago: how would things be today? And with the discoveries at Nag Hammadi, how have the gnostic gospels changed some of our thinking, if at all? After all gnostic religion is greatly different than orthodox religion as we know it.

Toys Of Triviality!

A little over a buy prada vpr 72h decade ago I read one of the best books for where buy prada vpr 72h I was in 1996. Donald W. McCullough made so much sense in his book entitled- The Trivialization of God. We’ve made God into our own image: a buy prada vpr 72h Western looking, blue-eyed, smooth-skinned, and ever smiling, holding a lamb with a buy prada vpr 72h broken leg. Sweet but trivial. We have him (and Mary and other Saints) on the buy prada vpr 72h dashboard of our cars, hanging from 24 carat gold chains, and buy prada vpr 72h other trivial toys that lead us onto too many detours of thinking, let alone being.

Trapped & Disempowered!

It’s time for “spiritualists” to buy prada vpr 72h take over where the church has decided not to go- establishing the buy prada vpr 72h Kingdom of God! The world is essentially caught up in it’s own doings: shackled with fear and buy prada vpr 72h judgments. And both are at play at an increasing and alarming rate. Radical Islam is being stood up to by Christian fundamentalism and the results are not good for anyone! It’s time that we awaken and see that RELIGION (of whatever branding) is primarily the agent for social CONTROL and CONFORMITY. It’s time to break away from that which is not working!

The Trance Of Separation

We Christians have buy prada vpr 72h the right doctrine, the infallible denomination, the inerrant holy book, and buy prada vpr 72h the ONLY WAY to buy prada vpr 72h eternal life. Can you not see how that simply sucks, stinks, or buy prada vpr 72h savages anyone not in “our club“? There is only one spirit, one God, one US, which includes US ALL! One day it buy prada vpr 72h will fall into place and we will see not dimly, but perfectly. So, for buy prada vpr 72h now let us have compassion on those who have not as much as we, the buy prada vpr 72h anointed and privliged class; whatever you take that to be Continue reading ‘The Trance Of Separation’

Mired In Apathy & Complacency

It seems to me that too much of what’s called the church today is highly arrogant! I used a less offensive title above; however, as Proverbs 13:10 tells us, where there is contention, their is pride. Just look at all the buy prada vpr 72h divisions within the church, the incessant breaking of fellowship because someone believes in a virgin birth and someone else does not. Do you think God cares what you BELIEVE as long as you are FOLLOWING Jesus? Isn’t it possible to disagree on theology (which is partial and provisional at best), and still felllowship? Wouldn’t a body which did such be stronger? Continue reading ‘Mired In Apathy & Complacency’

Abba Father

I discovered a statement by B. F. Westcott (1825–1901: an buy prada vpr 72h English churchman and theologian, serving as Bishop of Durham from 1890 until his death) that added more glue to my Beyond Theism direction as well as putting a hole in the pantheism concept. One rock, two stones if you buy prada vpr 72h will. In a work he published in 1883 (that would be 124 years ago), entitled, The Epistles Of St. John, he took on the buy prada vpr 72h Abba Father message of Jesus and proclaimed the following.
