God is Shining Through...
"Life is this simple. We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent, and God is shining through all the time.

This is not just a fable or a nice story. It is true.

If we abandon ourselves to God and forget ourselves, we see it sometimes, and we see it maybe frequently.

God shows Himself everywhere, in everything - in people and in things and in nature and in events.

It becomes very obvious that God is everywhere and in everything and we cannot be without Him. It's impossible. The only thing is we don't see it."

- Thomas Merton

The spiritual search comes to an end when you see in your own direct experience that your essential nature is pure awareness, and that you do not exist as a separate, controlling entity or ego. You can read about this for decades, but until you see this for yourself, in your own direct experience, the understanding remains conceptual. The ultimate understanding is the non-conceptual recognition that awareness is, and you are that. No words or concepts are needed.

That is why you must teach only one lesson. If you are to be conflict-free yourself, you must learn only from the Holy Spirit and teach only by Him. You are only love, but when you deny this, you make what you are something you must learn to remember. I said before that the message of the crucifixion was, 'Teach only love, for that is what you are'. This is the one lesson that is perfectly unified, because it is the only lesson that is one. Only by teaching it can you learn it. 'As you teach so will you learn'. If that is true, and it is true indeed, do not forget that what you teach is teaching you. And what you project or extend you believe.

CARRIE FOR PRESIDENT IN 08

"WHAT YOU SEE IS HOW IT IS FOR YOU!"

Biography:

Born in a manger in 1873 to proud Maine parents, Ms. Carrie grew up in
relative obscurity until the purchase of a computer in the late 20th
Century. With the addition of an internet connection, she rose to
world-wide prominence as a spiritual lecturer, philosopher,
convolutionist, and whiner.

Presidential Qualifications:

Over ten years foreign policy experience meddling in newsgroups and
websites from Europe, to North America, to the South Pacific. Caused a
border war between Spain and France through attempts to resolve the
"Basque Question." Exercising her extensive negotiation expertise, Ms.
Carrie succeeded in getting Iraq to rejoin the newly emergent Ottoman
Empire, which she also faciliated into being, thus ending the Iraq
War.

1) Nothing I see means anything
2) I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me
3) I do not understand anything I see

For me, to apply this to this News Group (cannot say NG, because that
is media promotion lingo for No Good) everything I see/read/respond to
can be learned to see as neutral.

A zoo? I bodies.
A fruitbowl? I see highly temporary moods and expressions of all
flavours
A swimming pool? full of bodies and noise on a hot summer's day on the
surface, but here is also the Pool of Bethesda, see link http://tiny.cc/pool101

Decisions made with the conscious mind can lead to dreams of reality
within dreams of reality within dreams within dreams within dream
dream dream on

Without Jesus in the Word, or the Inner Christ in my heart I am
equally lost in these illusions of dreams.
