    Myths or Truth - Your Choice

    Yes, but you still have to seek the truth in the myths, not just take the myths at face value and believe them because the majority believes them. You have to separate the wheat from the chaff, the truth from the deception. The dichotomy of "myth or truth" in this case is believing a myth, or...

    Myths or Truth - Your Choice

    ----- That which is: The literal meaning of the word “truth” is “that which is.” The living truth = that which is. That which is = the present. That which is = God. “GOD” is an ancient word that literally means “That Which Is.” G stands for “that,” O stands for “which” and D...

    Are You Ready?

    I do not live as a mind. In fact, it is impossible to truly live as a mind, for it is the mind which blocks out true life. It is impossible to be conscious of being unconscious. From our perspective, life is never-ending. You are an immortal, spiritual being, because it is impossible for...

    Are You Ready?

    This was an excellent first post, true1. I agree with almost everything you said. Life for mankind (mind-kind) is an endless mind game to distract oneself from reality, to avoid facing the truth. Belief in belief is the strongest distraction from the truth. Faith is only a bridge to knowing...

    Finding out the truth!

    Truth = Life It is found in the Present.

    Are You Ready?

    This excerpt begins a section about physical death. This section is the most intense thing I have ever read, and it really puts you face to face with your impending death. It is time to face death, to realize that it is coming soon. A little fear can help motivate us to learn the truth. The...

    The Collective Unconscious - Holy Spirit

    I was just reading this book and came across this, and it is one of the most interesting thoughts I have seen in a long time. I thought it would be nice to share it with you all and get some input. This book has been a very interesting read. It incorporates both science and religion, making the...

    The correct interpretation of Jesus and Scripture?

    That was a really good read, thanks for that. :)

    Child-Like Wonder

    One of my co-workers has twin babies, and I just look into their eyes and imagine they world they see. Ever since I read The Present, I have not once been bored, not even kidding. I don't even know what it is like to be bored anymore. I am always amazed by whatever is happening; it is all life.

    The First Photographs of Hell

    ----- Farthest from the light: Those bacteria are farthest from the light, both in distance and time. The way a bacteria feels is balanced like all animal life, so being one is not any better or worse than being any other animal life form. What makes it the worst thing to be is you are the...

    The First Photographs of Hell

    Mankind is at the top of the evolutionary cycle on Earth, the top of the food chain. We are the only animals that can reason our way to knowing the mind truth. There is nowhere to go except all the way up, or all the way down. We can overcome the lower-parts of our brain, and evolve past our...

    The First Photographs of Hell

    Hell: Religions say hell is a place of fire and brimstone (sulfur). It just so happens that life at the bottom of the animal evolutionary cycle lives around sulfur spewing volcanoes at the bottom of the ocean miles below the surface. [Photographs shown on page 84 of The Present (with religion)...

    Relics and Idol Worship

    I was thinking more along the lines of ideas and meanings being preserved in spirit. Like I said in the original post:

    Relics and Idol Worship

    Well put, friend. Everyone is on their own path. I really don't have much to add to your post, as we resonate on a similar wavelength. I will say, however, that I believe now is a window of opportunity for the masses to realize and understand what/who we really are beyond all conceptions...

    Relics and Idol Worship

    Completely agreed, well put my friend. Truth is beyond conceptualization. It is. I was just trying to show that physical relics and 'holy lands' are not to be worshiped. I feel that this understanding would dissipate much confusion in interpreting religious scriptures. I also feel that this...

    Relics and Idol Worship

    The most sacred relics we have of past prophets and revolutionaries, such as Jesus, Mohammad, and Sakyamuni Buddha, are the words which they left, the scriptures and the writings, and all those ideas which can be verified in personal experience as valuable truths. Words, thoughts and ideas are...

    Satan's True Identity?

    I think it's important to realize that Satan, the devil, is actually the mind, because then people will begin to realize that the mind is the problem. The mind needs to be changed from the controlling beast to the companion, the overlord to the technical consultant, the devil to an angel. The...

    Satan's True Identity?

    Thanks for your thoughts all. Delilah Roo said: Yes, the truth and the life is the way. The way I see it is that Satan, the devil, is the animal mind, the carnal mind. Something like this: Riverwolf said: This is a continuation of the quote in the original post: Once the mind...

    Satan's True Identity?

    ----- The Bible says, “We fight not with flesh and blood, but against invisible hosts of evil.” You have to look from your spirit, your true self to see it. Only then can you see it for what it is and how it is the adversary of the truth and the life. The Bible says...

    Child-Like Wonder

    ----- The more you live in the present the more fulfilling life gets. Time will slow down, you will see the magic and wonder of life you saw as a child and you will experience it without the ignorance and all the negative emotions of childhood. Child-time: Time is subject to perception and...
