Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hehe! C.C., You really crack me up! Sometimes my mind wraps too far as well, and I also have a quite vivid imagination, which probably helps it along. lol >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hehe!

I think you were meaning in a slang way, the way my husband does it. Right? Hehe! That isn't quite what I meant. It's just that Jesus himself taught that we are to go directly to the " Father which art in Heaven " when we pray. After all the veil to the temple's Holy of Holy's was ripped from top to bottom, so that man no longer has to have a priestly mediator to reach the heart of God. I am so grateful for that! Nothing can get lost in the translation that way. I know this may sound like I am a crazy nutcase, but I believe the being who was Jesus was/is my guide, either that or my guide is a good impersonator of the being who is Jesus. If that were so then it would mean he is a false guide and I can't believe that for one second. That is why I call upon him in times of stress. I don't care if I am a nutcase or not, it's been great having him as my guide whether it is really real or not. LOL! I will try and see if my mind can wrapped around the concept to be able to handle the Shati prayer as a mantra. That may help. But really since Shati is the feminine God part of us and Shiva the male part. One could look at Jesus...symbolicly being the son (God manifested in physical human form with Shati and Shiva in balance/combimed as one), he would be the one perfect being that we all are a part of. Hehe! Wouldn't we be praying to ourselves? Did my mind wrap too far?
