Where is the strong circumstantial evidence that we do not move on after physical death? Oh, there is none suckas!!!!
I'll be coming back here in my next physical incarnation. Won't stop until I am a major league baseball star or American football star who has a famous pop singer as my wife
Near Death Experience research has pretty much convinced me that consciousness does move on after physical death.
There is much more circumstantial evidence pointing towards some kind of existence after death (as well as past lives) as opposed to that we just die and that's it.
I had a long discussion about this with my kids today. My daughter is really fascinated by this subject and asks all kinds of questions in which I am happy to answer her! My son on the other hand, has the logic of Spock, he said we'll know after we die haha!
I remember I dated a woman the year before I came to Sweden. On our first two dates, she was about 30 minutes late!!! Each time!!! Then she made no mention of her lateness on the first date, and I just let it slide. Then on the second date, she was like 45 minutes late! And this was before cell phones were in vogue (1999). So she strolls in on the second date at the restaurant we met up at and made no mention of her tardiness. So I asked her politely why she was so late, then I did kind express my irritation and explained to her that I had been waiting for what seemed like an eternity. I forgot what the reasons where really, but the next time we went out, I simply picked her up---and do remember her being on time the next time. She was from Mexico, so maybe they are just casually like REAL late in their culture? Anyways, I shook it off and everything went fine---especially into the night
Glad I was so understanding and patient with her, because the lovemaking was damn worth it
My faith resided in my higher-self, and humanity---that we are indeed inherently love. Just takes some time to cut through the layers of static.
I do believe in a higher awareness as well, but choose to not use labels since it's hard to label something so complex and infinite---and that there may be different levels of a higher awareness within existence.
I don't have any problems with Christians really, though some do drive me crazy when they refer God as a he, or try and depict some truths from the metaphors in the Bible, especially in a historical perspective. I really do get annoyed when someChristians interpret intuition as God's guidance or how God is in control of everything and so forth. Then of course, what really annoys me, is some of their hand waving answers when the scriptures of violence and a cruel God is presented to them. I will never acknowledge such a cruel God who inflicts diseases on people or uses famines to torment and kill people. Like American patriot Thomas Paine said, "The belief in a cruel god makes a cruel man".
Progressive Christians easily the most rational and open minded religious people out of the monotheistic beliefs, and for them to even exist shows how much Christianity has evolved over the years compared with Islam and Judaism. Christianity is not responsible for so much violence and inhumane acts in today's world as opposed to Islam.
In any case, this is more of a scripture related criticism, and not towards the Christians themselves. I have no need to tell them they are wrong or are worshiping the wrong God---though I will bring it up lol.
The main beef I have with Christianity, is the authenticity of the Bible and how it was put together. Scholars have exploited many holes in the Bible, and even suggested that some books in the NT is more literature than historical. Why do I have a beef with this? Because it could be that people are going around and proclaiming that the Bible is some accurate representation of history and as a new discovery and superior source of divinity.
This has been debunked by NASA already. If such an object was so close, it would have been picked up already. Please, investigate from all angles before pushing such lies.
The current 2012 cult movement, inspired by loose interpretations of the Mayan calendar, the book of Revelations 21:1 (New Earth), the Quran, 69:13-15, and other native Indian prophecies as well as "new age" prophecies. The problem is, there is no exact time given and the way the Mayan calendar was filtered by some people, was not accurate.
December 21, 2012 will come and go people. There is no duck, and there are no quacks. There will be no threshold and no instant ascension
You let me down Aspen! I was hoping for more spicy stuff on your take on Pearl Harbor! What's wrong, not enough spicy conspiracies on the internet to inspire you?
GWB was a good man I may not have agreed with all of his policies, but he was a man driven to do what was best for America---and to make a name for himself in the Bush family.
He had nothing to do with 9-11.
Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld---and some other entities that I won't name---they knew it was coming and did nothing to stop the attacks. Cheney is pure evil imo...
Gotch'ya! I guess I'll need sunglasses to see the light being you'll become due to your luminosity? I get what you are saying, and that's another topic. Honor the light within
We are waking up, from my observations. Like I said, we've come long ways since the 60's. It's indeed a painful process. We'll get there someday.
Yes, I understand what you are saying. The tails and the heads is still one coin. Without either, there is no coin. Ah, I was expanding there briefly on duality/polarity---something necessary in this physical plane of experience.
I don't know if I understand your last sentence clearly? Can you rephrase that, and expand that so I can understand where you are coming from?
It's a process that is still going on. We are in a better place than the 50's and 60's. The greatest illusion that exists in our world today, is that we are all different.
RE: so...............
I would tell her I love her as soon as I feel I love her.Commitment starts from the first date, and is part of the foundation that begins and sustains a loving relationship.
Yep, I sure would consider moving in with a special one, and would do so when we are both ready---and not governed by any "preset parameters".
Any other questions?
