Good thing we have eternity.

Or maybe that's a bad thing.

Maybe if we had a dead...line,

like April 15th,

we'd all meet it. :-)

"I need an extention!$%^&*!"

(that's my favorite line for death, taxes, and searching)

You make perfect sense...

A freudian slip of can't to can...

'Oh Poo' gets in the way of truth :-)

One day, will we realize that "everything that I thought and believed is/was

absolutely 100% wrong" is wrong?

I think I experienced this when right after my father died and whileI was

looking at his body 'out there', I found him 'directly' inside.

The truth is simple and deep and direct.

How I experience this is that whereas I 'thought' something inside wouldwake up,

I experience an awakening towards life and all its infinite

complexities.

You talking to me? Am I tense? No way, I'm just trying to blend in.

I don't see how anyone can give up the desire for God Realization, Peace, or

Truth, once it has began. No way, no how.

 

But, then, Meister Eckhart got to a point to say (correct me if wrong person

of miss-quote), "God, please rid me of God!"

Robert, you are correct. Meister Eckhart sometimes distinguished between God and

Godhead, tho he also often called both God. He is so cool, he once defined

happiness as freedom from time.

 

"When I go back into the ground, into the depths, into the well-spring of the

Godhead, no one will ask me where I came from or where I went. No one missed

me. God passes away."

 

"For the now wherein God made the first man, and the now where in the last man

disappears, and the now I speak in, all are the same in God where there is but

the now."
