Vs. being in Darfur, yes I agree with that point. But, it's more than about Iraq's oil. That's my point. We are all engines of karma

Actually, we as a nation have a lot to lose if Bush did this. You're lending creditability to someone that shouldn't have creditability lent to. He won't answer questions, and he'll just try to inspire all of the Muslim fanatics that are already out there. Stakes are becoming pretty clear here. Someone needs to be the clear winner, and let's hope it's not the Muslim Ummah. We are all engines of karma

Would everyone stop, please, on this topic? If it was really about Iraq's oil, WE WOULD OWN IRAQ'S OIL. We don't own Iraq's oil, so therefore, it's not about Iraq's oil. QED. We are all engines of karma

Thus, the reason for posting it here. Thanks for the feedback. We are all engines of karma

Ah, shit We are all engines of karma

Did I read that right? We are all engines of karma

Bump. Is this all the commentary I'm going to get for this thread? We are all engines of karma

Absolutely not true. You're wrong. We are all engines of karma

Very scary that some places are requiring even traffic infractions to provide DNA. There's going to be mistakes made, and they're going to be painful for those involved. We are all engines of karma

I grew up in Louisiana drinking Community Coffee. It's the best stuff there is. Go to their web site, and order some. We are all engines of karma

I have the same problem, also. I knew it was related to the beer, but wasn't sure how. We are all engines of karma

I doubt you'll be banned. PM me if you want. I'd love to hear your feedback We are all engines of karma

How can I do better? Ok, that's a fair statement. Over many years, I've tried to simplify this argument. My main point was the change in the thought process that occurs due to free will - what are the reservoirs of energy involved? What phrase did you Google? I've spent alot of time thinking about this. I'm also trying to refine it, thus the reason for putting it out in this forum. There's alot of smart people that contribute here. Thanks for your input. I think you have it. Change is the keyword. Anytime there is change, there's a flow of energy. We are all engines of karma

Bump. I was really hoping to get some comment or feedback on this. We are all engines of karma

I don't know what you mean by this. Could you clarify, please? It sounds significant, and I'm really interested in trying to comprehend that thought. Agreed. What would you call it? Leaping many more threads ahead (which may never happen), one of my alternate views of God is basically this. God is like 1) Everything we think 2) Everything we don't think 3) Everything we feel 4) Everything we don't feel Summed over all of the people on the planet, and elsewhere. My point is, I've tried to keep my threads very pointed and as simple as possible. There's much more to this topic than my 5 little threads. I'm not sure what you mean by "God template". Cheers,

Wow. Their Catholic/Protestant issues may never fade. We are all engines of karma

Introduction ============ This thread is a continuation of the following threads: Introduction - http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2396715;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Language - http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2398138;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Science - http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2399827;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Observations - http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2400882;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Correlations - http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2401392;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Summary ======= This thread proposes a person's direct link to God. Discussion ========== Over the course of my life, I spent a period of time heavily involved in meditation, and in general pursuing a better understanding of God than that provided in my upbringing. For the purposes of this discussion, I'm going to classify a person's experience into two broad areas: 1) Feeling 2) Thinking Specifically, I'm going to discuss "change", as defined in the Correlations thread, in these areas. Most change that occurs within the body comes from biochemical reservoirs of energy. In the thinking area, I've classifed my personal observations into 3 areas: 1) Daydreaming - thoughts skit from one to another. Change is happening. 2) Concentration - thoughts shine light on a subject matter. Change is happening. 3) Still mind - very difficult state to attain. No change is happening. When change is happening in our thought process, specifically those thoughts we control via what I will refer to as "free will", what are the reservoirs of energy involved? If you believe that free will is biochemically based, then essentially humans are worm food waiting to happen. But, what if free will isn't biochemically based? What are the reservoirs of energy involved in the change? In simple terms, we don't know. Just because we don't know doesn't mean those unidentified reservoirs of energy don't exist. I assert that when we exercise our free will, we're directly interacting with unknown reservoir(s) of energy, which some will refer to as God. We can go so far as to lump those unidentified reservoir(s) of energy into what I'll call, for the lack of a better phrase, the Fabric Of The Universe. Exercise your free will, and that Fabric acts back. Newton said the 1st Law originally using the word force, i.e., action/reaction. God is NOT some divine entity that sits above us and judges us. It's a great flow that IS. You interact with it via your free will. Stilling your thoughts is hugely powerful, in that you become "one" with these unknown reservoirs of energy (i.e., there is no flow, thus the "potential" is the same between yourself and the Fabric). This is an area where our science hasn't proven to be very successful, probably due to the burden of language. My point going forward ====================== Our thoughts are very real. Keep them positive. It's how we shape our existence in this world. God is best viewed as a verb, not a noun. We are all engines of karma

As I've already said in the Introduction, I view God as a verb, not as a noun. Hasn't that always been the case? We are all engines of karma
