inner peace that comes from love and lack of hate | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1395126 Spain 05/22/2011 08:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most of humanity is kept from liberation because it is attached to the illusion of separation, that has firmly established itself as a paradigm on this earth. In every moment this illusion is reflected back to us in the form of various pairs of opposites, that also appear separate from eachother, such as good and evil, right and wrong, friend and foe. Yet each moment we invest ourselves in this illusion of duality. Bye chossing one of these opposites over the other, we serve to fortify and so perpetuate the world of separation into which we have been born.As long as we continue to feed this dualistic excistence we will never be able to transcend it. For in this world of duality the truth that energy follows thought ensures that goodness and evil keep one another alive. This occurs because each time we choose sides on a issue one aspect is strenghthend bye our attraction to it while the other is strengthened by our aversion. Therefore by chossing sides which to a unenlightened perception may seem to only empower one aspect in fact serves to strengthen both. Thus we may see the real danger prevalent in todays rising spiritual movement and traditional religions. Where many people are focusing on doing good in the world and offering service to others. However in doing so many are invoking the ego sense of doing good while also perceiving others of doing bad, which then fuels the dualistic illusion and indirectly arouses evil. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1395082The people who incite love, goodness, peace are only strengthening the violence, evil, darkness on the opposite end of the spectrum at a global level. Walk the middle path. All are one. Forget all you know, religious institutions, spirital movements, education, and seek inwards for divine truth, become like a child. The answer unconditional love of all, is the devine message. Remember humans understanding of love is selfish and sentimental, they do not understand what divine love is. Remember to love someone is to value that person above other people, so this love creates a divide love and hate, good and bad dualistic. We have to break this illusion of separation and realise we are one. Yes we are all one. But to do good if one does good simply to bring joy or happiness to another surely is not of the ego? |

Thanks to Christ Jesus I enjoy a deep peace. However, in those times i feel hurt or offended i look to God for justice. It helps me let the anger go. It is written: "The wicked shall have no peace." I know that is true. With God watching out for us there is no reason to cling to the resentment..... Let it go!!! So true..to simply let go and abandon everything in the hands of God..to do your best..to be Love ..and leave the rest to God |

I have no hate in my heart for anybody. There are still people that just need killin', though! you know that if you take a life you are really just killing yourself..you are killing your soul..the second death ? Honey, there are very bad people on this planet, and most of them are banksters, serial killers and politicians. It would be merciful to eliminate them. If you do you condemn yourself If you read Christs words you know this.. You have to break the cycle of hate and revenge.. God really doesnt need you to do anything for Him....he is after all God |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1395050 Canada 05/22/2011 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | GAG ME WITH A SPOON! Yes, God is love and God loves us all the same, but what's with all this new age inner peace and unshackling to be free nonsense? "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Unshackling from earthly possessions or so-called ego doesn't make you free -- knowing God as your father and following in Jesus' footsteps is what makes and keeps you free, and freedom is freedom from fear and sin, not from possessions and ego. I'd say Jesus and God have pretty healthy egos, as did David, Paul, Peter, or any of the prophets. And David certainly had plenty of possessions. This syrupy sweet stuff is a bit galling. You know what they say about demons appearing as angels of light to fool the gullible. Inner peace comes from aligning your will with God's, as Jesus did, not from using all of GLP's angel and heart smilies in one posting. Yuck, and again I say -- YUCK. This kind of thread is what kept me an atheist for 36 years. |

If anyone comes saying he or she is more special than you they lie you are just as precious to God as anyone you may think knows so more than you or is better than you in any way.. Remember when Christ washed the fet of the apostles? Did you know that historically the feet were considered extremely unclean and the washing of the same was left to the lowest of all the slaves? so when He washed His disciples feet He was showing us through time that even HE was not above His disciples..and showing them never to elevate themselves above anyone..because how could they when he hadnt? You are special..there is NO ONE more special than you..just as you are not more special than anyone else we are all beloved equally because HE is perfect |

As to the ego I beg to differ Where was the ego of Christ? I dont believe he had one.. he kept company with the lowest of the low..the outcasts..he spoke to gentiles and ate with them..he defended the adulteress..he spoke to the samaritan..he cured on a sabbath..he washed the disciples feet..he touched the lepers..he entered jerusalem on a donkey..he didnt have a house or a bed of his own to sleep in..he didnt even have a tomb to be buried in..ego? no I dont think so he chose to die the death reserved to the worst criminals when just one word..yes one word spoken from his mouth could have withered them all on the spot as he did to the fig tree he chose to be mocked and derided and spat on when he could have avoided it he chose to be given vinegar to drink when he cried out for water ego??? no..no ego there humility in the service of God and the Kingdom..the humilty that comes from a being that knows that HE IS and that by hurting him they just condemned themselves..thats why one of his lasts words on the Cross was ..Father forgive them because they know NOT what they are doing..TO THEMSELVES..they dont realize the terrible spiritual price to be met for such an act.. he worried about them..so great was his unconditional egoless love..his thoughts were of compassion and mercy..towards his butchers ego? you have to be joking |
