If I look hard enough I just might see a fragment however large or small of myself in them.The energy, God...whatever label you&#039;ve chosen to put on what i so fondly call &quot;The Everlasting Effervescence of Nothingness&quot;. Anyways my point is we are all &quot;1&quot; yet divided, religion and the need for it divides us yet further and keeps us that way....There is another point id like make though, do not be joined together as a world if it means destroying the different cultures. I believe for the most part Cultures derive there spiritual powers from they&#039;re surroundings, so it is my opinion that governments just get in the way and take from us our ability to be self sufficient.I don&#039;t mean to stray away from topic but i wanted to point out two factors that deprive us of Spiritual growth which religion tries to teach but doesn&#039;t and Government debilitates self support.I digress, Faith is a song that we all know but most of us have all forgotten. This song lies with in our hearts and is indefinable. We are connected to this planet and each other; example some of us have experienced ultimate sadness, some felt it so much that the sky pours down tears in the wake of it. I hate to use this example but its one that most can relate too, you remember just a year~ish or more ago when China was struck by the Tsunami and before that we had 911 that caused many in the US to swoon in agony, could it be all our anger and sadness traveled around the world and slapped China in its wake. Think about it a bit. Alone we can but stir the wind, together we can move mountains.I tried different Status of Religions and Meditations on for size, kinda like looking for a pair of shoes. To Glitzy and judgmental the religions where, i did not fit in they&#039;re scriptures as I am Lesbian. I had to ask myself where is the joy of living if these books do nothing but condemn me, i chose not to depressed by this and through off the texts of religion. Although i did keep an open mind because even though i felt like i was being burned at the stake, there were some things i felt to be true.As for Meditations i mostly found that in Marijuana and LSD, cos as young person I am not good at sitting still. I wanted to know the unknowable, try to find stability in my less then accepted life, I even tossed myself out on to the streets where i lived without TV and all the amenities for about 10 years. During that period of time i found connections with so many things for myself. I found the best and the worst of who i was. I found there in the dirt everything i needed to know. At the age 28 i had enough of the filth and transcended in this life time to something greater then i was. I left the dirt and filth hardened of heart and less blind to the nature of man.You won&#039;t know what it is your looking for till you have tasted the earth and been spit on by many.By and By, if you cried or shed a tear for the Tsunami victims in China and you didn&#039;t know why. I can tell you its because you felt responsible.The most profound statement i found is Gods sees everything and is everywhere, could it just be simply we are that what we are told to worship? I think we are miss directed to keep us from our true potentials as a whole people, we should take care of one another love one another as best we can. A time will come when the song is to be sung that will save us and we can&#039;t do it if we aren&#039;t at peace with who we are. Don&#039;t worry about the song when our hearts are in the right place it will sing it for us.I&#039;m very sorry for the book~ish statements, its very hard to get across what is on my mind as i think it would take a book to do so.  With everything we have its so hard not to sound religious when it is often decided a person is not religious anymore because of religion. The good and evil is what teaches us to be one way or another along with other elements around us. Makes it very hard to write in a way that doesn&#039;t seem contrary.I encourage exploration, teaching one another, keeping an open mind when learning from another, don&#039;t be afraid to try things, let your heart be your guide, don&#039;t let fear govern you, keep a level and cautious head.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I look at, communicate with possibly get to know he or she in question whether that moment is brief or extended.

Then you introduce a chicken and egg question as to the origin of the plasticity- is it genetic or environmental- and state that &quot;Science will never be able to prove or disprove the existence of God or any higher power.&quot;  Presumably one could easily run a study using same technologies and one could deal with your chicken-egg question by simply comparing functional changes to that of non-meditators and observe them after months of prayer or meditation.  Essentially your arguments and presentation of references contradict.

He has all the answers. However, this is not at our initiation but at His (this interruption is sometimes called conviction, or a spiritual experience) From our youth we can attest to there being natural laws written in our mind. we inherently take a bath when we&#039;re dirty or we eat when we&#039;re hungry etc. Also from the inception of man there is this innate negative attributes we become conscious of over a period of time,which when exercised create a negative impact to ourselves and sometimes directly/indirectly to others. Our perceptions, emotions and responses all depend on an intricate balance or equilibrium clearly apart from man&#039;s production. Man has supernatural interference whether he believes or not, that&#039;s the reality of it. The matter of right and wrong is not  a by product of Evolution but a confirmation of the existence of one infinitely greater than any thing or any one we&#039;ve ever known.

The matter of right and wrong is not  a by product of Evolution but a confirmation of the existence of one infinitely greater than any thing or any one we&#8217;ve ever known. Listen to Him a bit more He definitely knows what He&#8217;s doing.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: alljackpots</title><link>http://brainblogger.com/2008/06/15/god-and-religion-is-it-all-in-our-heads/#comment-318495</link> <dc:creator>alljackpots</dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:22:37 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://brainblogger.com/?p=1052#comment-318495</guid> <description>Our perceptions, emotions, and reactions to the world around us begin at birth, and shape our attitudes and interactions throughout our life.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our perceptions, emotions, and reactions to the world around us begin at birth, and shape our attitudes and interactions throughout our life.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: avoiceinurhead</title><link>http://brainblogger.com/2008/06/15/god-and-religion-is-it-all-in-our-heads/#comment-317128</link> <dc:creator>avoiceinurhead</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 02 Oct 2008 08:46:21 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://brainblogger.com/?p=1052#comment-317128</guid> <description>religion is a troubling parodox that waist time trying to figure out.and the only people that can understand this statement understand the theory of the duck :)((((like pointillism we look at the painting from afar and it a beautiful masterpiece but if we want to know what makes up this artwork we get closer and all we see is a bunch of random dots in different shads that have to order or  a childhood story, bears don&#039;t talk but yet if you just &quot;let it be&quot; theirs nothing questionable about it. as children we question allot of thing but we never seem to question the questionable (example: such as why animals in story&#039;s talk) so if you really think about it anything can be torn apart with one  word &quot;why&quot;))))</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>religion is a troubling parodox that waist time trying to figure out.</p><p>and the only people that can understand this statement understand the theory of the duck <img src='http://brainblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p><p> ((((like pointillism we look at the painting from afar and it a beautiful masterpiece but if we want to know what makes up this artwork we get closer and all we see is a bunch of random dots in different shads that have to order</p><p>or  a childhood story, bears don&#8217;t talk but yet if you just &#8220;let it be&#8221; theirs nothing questionable about it.<br /> as children we question allot of thing but we never seem to question the questionable (example: such as why animals in story&#8217;s talk)<br /> so if you really think about it anything can be torn apart with one  word &#8220;why&#8221;))))</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
