Donovan, who put it into song like this: "First there is a mountain, "Then there is no mountain, "Then there is..." This was before I saw the reference to Cat Stevens/Yusef Islam. Another songwriter/poet who was much maligned for his writing was the late great John Lennon. I once heard the conservative Christian Pat Robinson go through the song "Imagine" line by line and he came to the conclusion that it was "godless" and "communistic". My thought was that he really felt threatened by some of the ideas. starion on "A moral question..." http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/493/page/4#post-11420 Mon, 03 Sep 2007 13:33:44 +0000 starion 11420@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ The chap is a genius pretending to be a man... and we (USA) prevented him from coming into this country, calling him an enemy to US, when he sent money to feed orphans who were starving... and those orphans just happened to be Iraqis and this act of kindness was years before some (X?&^%$#) persons in this country decided to invade Iraq.... shin on "A moral question..." http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/493/page/4#post-11415 Mon, 03 Sep 2007 07:51:06 +0000 shin 11415@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ Yusf Islam is back, composing and singing.

The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. Think, speak and do. Ask, believe, receive. Before, now, after. Mountain is, mountain is not, mountain is - perhaps even that is a 'three parter'. There seems a finality to the 'three'. At the moment I am practicing my awareness of the process. But what is in my heart is deep. So deep I can't see it sometimes. Sometimes I feel like I have to know more about myself before I can just go glibly creating willy nilly. Other times I think I just create anyway. But in that case I would like to know more about what I have created - at least be more aware of it. starion on "A moral question..." http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/493/page/4#post-11181 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 23:18:38 +0000 starion 11181@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ And he had a logical answer....

The triad would be consistent in each, as the manifestation (God Consciousness) is included in all of mankind. Consider, similarly the "ego" state mimics this triad in the child, parent and adult... the same ego states identified in sociology. To be honest, this consideration in each of us, after liberation from our ego and returned to the true nature of one's soul might consider and identify these same aspects in our being. Yes, this one believes these triads... are all connected, enamating from the One.

That is to say that the light cannot be contained... it will shine through or it will cease to be actively present. The message that so many here on the CoT share... having searched for so long... is to embrace just that. Each measure that has been won that animates from the divine in us... is free to be addressed/shared. It might be supposed that if the presence of each manifestation of one's spirit could gather 'all aspects' together in one thrust ( in the continuum from the All) mountains indeed would shake from their foundations. As it appears there are some who are preparing to doing so. :smile: We know who they are/am when we see them. For sure, this generation has much to offer in this.

Hmmm... sp, The gift that you allude too... that is life... will be stayed for all who relish and bath in that which is the essence of the divine (love). Those that oppose it and are foreign to it... will be no more when the writ falls. God is Spirit! God is Love! All life is sustained by that energy (spirit). Yet, the freedom to choose... to belong and be one with that love spirit... is contrary to the life source that is commanded by the Dark lord. He too sustains life. Only (the life of the dead) will not stand for ever.

I saw the Lunar Eclipse this morning. The moon was in the west, about to set behind the mountains, with the lower right portion of her circle being in the shadow of the earth. It suddenly occurred to me that this beautiful phenomenon could be interpreted as follows: Luna, usually reflecting the light of Sol, was also projecting the shadow of Gaia. As the Luna seemed to set toward the mountains, the shadow of Gaia slowly receded, but not before the lower part of Luna was partially obscured by clouds. At the same time Sol was rising in the East, and the golden red and blue hues of sunrise were spreading from East to West. Occasionally we need to stop and enjoy the beauty of our environment, whether we believe we created it or someone or something else did. starion on "A moral question..." http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/493/page/3#post-10830 Tue, 28 Aug 2007 13:36:59 +0000 starion 10830@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ Oh Particles.... a sudden wave of warmth...your words...comforting..."thank you!", she whispered breathlessly...

Look at a leaf. Look at a tree. Look at a bird. At a sunset. Or even - the stars. These things will never go away. We can do what we like. But no matter how despicable we might think our crimes, the world will keep spinning. Life, which is God's gift, will always continue. For ever and ever. And there is nothing we can do to stop it. For that reason, there is nothing to forgive. You can do what you like to my body. But no matter how despicable, how intricate or prolonged, the things could be that you might do to my body if you so chose, I would live on. In fact I would, and will, live on for ever. Likewise if I was to try and hurt you. God's gift of eternal life is yours - and there's nothing I can do to take that away. We are all completely safe - and there's nothing we can do about it. For that reason there is nothing that is heinous. Nothing that is unforgivable. God will never punish us. For the simple reason that He/She cannot be hurt, and is made entirely of Love. There is no second coming. God is already, and has always been, Here. What, do you think He/She would go away? gatesofgrace on "A moral question..." http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/493/page/3#post-10825 Tue, 28 Aug 2007 10:19:52 +0000 gatesofgrace 10825@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ abstractprophet wrote, gates... who is the god that the disservice is being perpetrated against... ap, The same god that has revealed the manifestation, and the All that IS... has also revealed that one must unite all that IS good... from all that IS not... to understand as much/least in practice. To do so as you are saying... both must be merged/united and they in time, will merge/blend into the one (source). OK! Yet, any who perform their deeds short of such understanding and freedom... will enact most heinous acts of impurity and imperfection. This is where mankind finds themselves. Serving tainted and incomplete awareness. Who... really can stand in righteousness and rule in the All. One is coming that can do so... one before him that can not. One must be prepared for such events. The same God has offered it so!
