They have thick hides. I must bite harder."</p> <p>Ok, Yiming. Let's do this thing. Where would you like to start? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17811 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 15:56:31 +0000 starion 17811@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>YaMaH has moved to a higher place. Yiming. I visit him now and then........... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17802 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 14:35:33 +0000 matronmedusa 17802@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>rofl, Yiming. </p> <p>What are you so determined to do, exactly? Open my eyes? Only I can do that. And only when my soul says its ready for it. But I appreciate the seeds you guys plant along the way, thank you.</p> <p>I have found that enlightenment comes in small doses. It is a journey, and we are all on it. Some of us are a little further down the path, and some of us are not as far as we'd like to be, or even think we are. </p> <p>It's funny. Things I've written years ago I'm just now realizing their deepest meanings. I wrote them. I knew them. But I didn't truly understand them until recently. My soul has been trying to make me see my whole life. The mind must be re-conditioned at its own pace. </p> <p>I guess what I'm saying is this: You can bite me now, but I will not feel it until my soul says I'm ready. I know I know nothing. I don't pretend to know anything. I am open for suggestion, because after all, what the fuck DO I know? I can't even tell you where I'm at on my path, because I have no clue. All I know is that I have no idea who/what I am, and I am willing to discover it. So, chomp away, Yiming. Chomp away. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17778 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 04:24:44 +0000 Yiming 17778@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>I get it, Starion. I am the pit bull that can sink its teeth into you. And each time I draw blood and you go "ouch", you wake up on this shore instead of the other where you think you have arrived. Ok. Fine with me. I like chomping asses and go after anyone who wanders into my pit to take me on. Where is that religious Jew, Yamah? Until he comes back I will work on Asl and Medusa. They have thick hides. I must bite harder. Grrrrrrrrr. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17704 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 23:05:58 +0000 starion 17704@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Oh Yiming, I am not your audience; I do not worship you. You are the burr in my blanket, the thorn in my flesh, the horn of the bull grazing past me... You do not hurt me; you enlighten me by saying the most outrageous and frankly stunning things you can<br /> call up from your subconscious... I envy that... sort of... because your words cause me to push right or left up or down and that, that makes me realize those parts of me I haven't resolved yet. That's why I call you the "Illuminator". You illumine in me my unresolved... and that's a great gift... Without your talent, I'd think I was already home; with it, my reactions...bring my faults to the core. Remember, if I respond to you I have a part of me to resolve... You know your psychology, don't you???? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17681 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 22:31:53 +0000 AsI 17681@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Playing with the dead, and they don't know. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17667 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 21:50:46 +0000 Yiming 17667@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Starion, thanks for the applause. I truly deserve it. One disappointment I have is that it is only coming from one person in the audience - you. Joel Osteen, most successful preacher in America, draws in crowds of up to 90,000 Starions each week to his fancy church stadium so that he can make them feel better about themselves. And they love him the way you love me. The sad thing is, Joel has nothing to say. He is just a bankable commodity, a marketable brand like the Dalai Lama, the Pope, Brad Pitt even. And all of them are part and parcel of a world going down the tubes.</p> <p>My other disappointment is, I really have something to say. And it has nothing to do with making you feel good about yourself. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17664 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 21:13:39 +0000 Yiming 17664@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Hey Medusa, if you look deeply into it, it loses all forms and you are left with a sense of ugliness. And that ugliness manifests disorder be it poverty, disease, violence. Then, you can call it what you want - evil, Satan, hate, Scharwznegger. Who cares? Getting lost in semantics and argumentation over what violates the Sabbath or when adultery is permissible only shows that one has nothing to say. Let not be a Pharisee, ok? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17635 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 16:34:13 +0000 matronmedusa 17635@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Is satan truly evil? </p> <p>or is hate itself? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17610 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 13:41:36 +0000 starion 17610@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Yiming....twas in the middle of the night and I awoke giggling...you'd written something I remembered....and I got to thinking about you and you being here and realizing how valuable you are... You are the illuminator...you highlight stuff...to which we react.... but that is valuable, you see, you push things beyond...and we can clearly see how far beyond... and our emotions react.... so you are illuminating what<br /> we need to see. If we react to something you've said, it is part in us reacting... therefore, we have in us that which you are pointing out... and in so doing, you force us to face faults in ourselves which have need of healing or amending... And that Yiming, is a very valuable talent of yours... for which I, at least, am very grateful. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17563 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 02:54:02 +0000 AsI 17563@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>(You ask hard questions, Yiming.) </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17556 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 02:48:07 +0000 Yiming 17556@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Hey Medusa, your choice of name and preoccupation with Satan points to bad stuff. Hate is part of our human psyche. Are you human or are you a tree? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17396 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 13:25:04 +0000 matronmedusa 17396@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Hate? ME?? lol... </p> <p>"Horrid" is in the eye of the beholder. And that is a negative perception just as hate is.</p> <p>I believe she is musunderstood. I pull for underdogs.</p> <p>But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most? ~Mark Twain </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17357 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 02:27:17 +0000 starion 17357@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>That's what Seth said. That God, was bashed in the Biblical sense and much too small for the name; that All That Is is a more fitting title... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17341 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 00:56:27 +0000 Yiming 17341@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Medusa, I detect hate. Hate means war. Emotions that roil the heart is not good for the body. </p> <p>Why do you pick such a horrid name? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17338 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 00:14:03 +0000 matronmedusa 17338@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>"God" is a man made word for a man made religion.</p> <p>"God" has been so muttled it holds no substance.</p> <p>"God" is a word used to induce fear and inflict authority.</p> <p>MY take on God?<br /> The biblical "God" is actually the biblical "Satan."<br /> Throw THAT one around for me. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17253 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 11:23:51 +0000 Yiming 17253@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Wow, I can't believe I sent the above post out. I was just messing around and thinking out loud. And after sipping a warm cup of tea on the balcony, I came back in to mess around somemore ... and holy cow, I must have clicked "Send Post" when I got up to go for tea. Ekanta has that virus that pin points my IP address and identify my ISP, Telekom Malaysia. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17251 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 11:01:24 +0000 Yiming 17251@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Ok what? Do you accept Meekness's Christian idea of God or not? Let's say you are like smarty pants Yamah who spits on Meekness's superficial nonsense and you have another idea of what God is. Whatever that idea may be, it is still a solution for the same problem: that need to feel good about what you think you are.</p> <p>Now, Yamah thinks he is a religious Jew. And all Jews are smart because they are the chosen people unlike the gentiles like you and I and Meekness. Yamah's God made sure that his chosen people are distinctive from the rest of mankind. He gave each Jew a sharp mind and a big nose. Not just big but pretty ugly too. Think Barbara Streisand. </p> <p>Are you still listening? Or are you tuning off because I am not being politically correct?</p> <p>Yiming </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17237 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 02:58:56 +0000 AsI 17237@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>K..listening-proceed </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17236 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 02:24:41 +0000 Yiming 17236@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>What God? You are not paying attention to what I am saying. I repeat:</p> <p>"To the lay Christian, God is defined by his pastor or priest. Generally, that definition gives form to the creator of the Christian and the world in which he lives."</p> <p>Do you agree with my take on what God is to the Christian? If you do, I can proceed. If not, then tell me what is your take on God is. We can take it from there. Ok?</p> <p>Yiming </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17207 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 22:59:28 +0000 AsI 17207@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>"Is Yamah still around or shall I take his place and show the way to God?"</p> <p>Betcha you can't do it.</p> <p>What God? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/326/page/3#post-17183 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 18:51:53 +0000 Yiming 17183@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Is Yamah still around or shall I take his place and show the way to God?

We are like God, for God is us and we are God. We can accomplish great things if we so desire it. Creating things is what we are pretty good at so far. Of course we should be because we are from the same fabric as the Creator. This physical existence is but a place to house our real self. Our egos may just be an interface to the world and how the world perceives us. It is Perspective, perception, experience, which give us many life changes. I never will look at a sunrise the same, or listen to the cry of an infant, or anything I may see differently and experience Life from all angles if possible.</p> <p>Namaste </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/461/page/6#post-15435 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 14:41:22 +0000 starion 15435@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>You're welcome. It takes a considerable amount of energy to push this body around. You have to understand that we are, at this time, focused in physical reality. This is not<br /> all we are. When we think, we are experiencing physical/mental/emotional reality and much of that effort is nonphysical. Because we are so focused in one spot...relatively, it forces us to pay attention to details...to moment by moment experience.. and to see the results of our thinking. Our lives become the product of our thinking. This is how Gods learn to be Gods... we have to start by learning what we are capable of... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/461/page/6#post-15427 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 10:23:19 +0000 SoulBrother 15427@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Yes I would say, Infinite Being would suggest infinite possibilities as well. The thought of infinite would lead us to thoughts of hundreds if not thousands of parralel worlds in the universe or universes? We will live many times before we come close to scratching the surface of truth. Then we be able to barely comprehend a fraction of what is.<br /> Collective experiences that help us from one level of understanding to higher levels of understanding. These I believe are not accomplished in one or 10 life times but many. So it seems when we see and learn and experince life in some fashion we are re learning and recalling( I have been here before thoughts). Multiple or parallel worlds are just the tip of the Infinity iceberg. Thanks be to God, Infinite Being, or anyway you refer to the Creator. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/461/page/6#post-15358 Sat, 06 Oct 2007 23:58:54 +0000 starion 15358@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Consider a very creative God mixing and matching and trying a zillion (uncounted) possibilities of combinations of anything and everything... because there are so many<br /> possibilities and "rooms" to explore.Think about unlimited expansion unto infinity, so many multi-dimensions, one inside the other, that 30 or more earth experiences can be had simultaneously on this one particular planet alone...thirty different time zones all functioning and in working order.... and we are focused in this singular one alone... there is so much to know..and this singular time zone is simple compared to the totality.... and this is only the beginning... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/461/page/6#post-15324 Sat, 06 Oct 2007 00:32:26 +0000 shin 15324@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>There are things we know.<br /> There are things we don't know.<br /> There are things we know we don't know.<br /> There are things we don't even know that we don't know.</p> <p>What is talked about in the first 3 lines is nothing compared to what is referred to in the 4th line.</p> <p>"All there is." Tell me more about "all there is". We haven't got the faintest idea about all there is. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/461/page/6#post-15290 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:40:03 +0000 SoulBrother 15290@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Ignore, who would want to ignore all there is, illusion or anything else.<br /> Again if that is your reality then be happy.<br /> All things will be gone one day as is the illusion of this life. One thing that will remain forever is your Infinite Being, rejoice in this.<br /> Be happy in the Love God has for us and we for God. We are but a process of God experiencing Self, with infinite possibilities.<br /> Words will fail us as we try to explain what is really meant to be felt, experienced, enjoyed.<br /> Peace, Love, and Joy I wish for all.</p> <p>Namaste </p>
