New poster, but don't get excited. (beliefs, hell, faith, easter)

From here I will proceed on. Relationships mean a lot to me, keeping them open and fruitful. Imagine a fragile plant, now, if I tend to its growth it will become productive. Each person is like a flower, but obviously more precious, it is "our" precious opportunity to honestly give of ourselves above and beyomd "any" stereotype, any judgement of "good or bad". So my question, of my own relationship to the dear souls that journey here for light is, "what next?". Conflict and mess don't bother me. I will stear clear of confrontation, that only works best in real life situations, and with a good degree of tact, without looking down, one can then be assured of not playing an uneven hand of spiritual superiority. All mind states are forgiveable. We begin by forgiving ourselves, see that we are good, see our innate goodness, and God working from within. But remember, when speaking of God we speak of the ineffable. That is the first condition whereby God consciousness enters into our lives, and this sometimes can be recognized at a very young age.

Nice to meet you John. What religous books have you read besides the Bible and what inspirations have you found in them? Which version of the Bible do you read when you read the Bible? Hope you find a home here and welcome to RF.

Really, I shouldn't post with being sleep deprived. It was a long night. Sorry. One more to go.
Basically, I am not with that which ever divides one's truth. Any person has an individual truth, that cannot be taken away.

Welcome to the forums.

Hi Victor,

It's my third night of 3-12's. So in a way I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am really not much of a debater. At work I am pretty quiet, unless I need help fast. Here, I don't need to get real excited, which is kind of relaxing. But now my coffee is cold. I just learn by experience, that coffee tastes better hot.
