On Earth, Source "seems" to be devided, for each of us carries a part of it(God Spark or Soul if you wish) in a small cavity located next to our physical hearts. Every person has a Soul.... If we simultaneously removed our physical costumes(our bodies), we would see that there is no real devision of any kind. All that we would witness is the One Great Light of God/Goddess that unites us all.... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12408 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 22:08:34 +0000 starlight 12408@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>no 'other'. you are very welcome. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12395 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 18:04:51 +0000 Yiming 12395@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Hey Starlight, is "equality" and "oneness" the same to you?

What you call Source, I call Soul. Same thing... Soul piece of Creator</p> <p>* By starion</p> <p>Hi starion :)</p> <p>I too refer to the Source of our being as the Soul :) I have so many words to describe the same Essence.... God Spark, Father/Mother Principle, Eternal Energy, Yin-Yang, Ultimate Light etc....</p> <p>Hugs for you xo.... :) </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12361 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 14:24:30 +0000 starion 12361@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>101. Love the Christ Story... Only...during the A-ha it wasn't Christ I saw, felt, heard, was inside me. It was the Source, God, AllThatIS inside me. All of the collective expanded minds inside me. There was no evil, none, no devil, no anger, no fear, no sadness, nothing negative...only the most positive experience I have ever known... In such little time, this experience completely turned me around..with<br /> more force of love than I knew existed. If you have experienced even one second of that A-ha, then you know.... and there are no words that are great enough, no sentences, emotions or anything else great enough to explain, share, complete. That experience changes how the world is seen...how others are perceived...even how thinking is. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12360 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 14:13:43 +0000 starion 12360@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi Bright Star. What you call Source, I call Soul. Same thing... Soul piece of Creator, my soul radiates at moment exquisitely blue green with yellow around mind with holes in it.... As for philosophy...when others are busily heaping ashes on their heads and suffering.... common sense says let go of that crap and LIVE!!! </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12345 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 10:36:37 +0000 AsI 12345@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>"Anything to usurp someone elses insights ..."</p> <p>Why is that necessary? It implies that all is not foredained-not perfect. We all do it, some subtely, some moreso. Oh, right..the wisdom of ego. </p> <p>Oh what the F! On with the games. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12317 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 04:50:10 +0000 BrightStarDancer 12317@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Beside your physical heart lies a tiny cavity in which "The Source", "Essence" or "God/Goddess" of your being resides. This Source is what animates your physical body.... When someone passes away, the Source of their being rejoins the Source which resides in another realm. </p> <p>If we wanted to draw a picture of Source, we could sketch out a round pallette of every existing color....black, white and everything in between. If we took this pallette and spun it with great speed, we would see the brightest color of pure white(you can try this on your own).... The Source of our Being is this pure white, for it is constantly spinning at the fastest possible speed.</p> <p>Each of us carries the full spectrum of all colours(Source). </p> <p>When we speak of good or evil, we can equate the two as being opposites, but in reality they co-exist on the same pallette of colours(Source) that we all share.</p> <p>Each person is unique in their personal expression. We individually express the colours of our choosing.... Some express the darker colours of the pallette, some the lighter.... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12307 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 02:10:44 +0000 starion 12307@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>But God didn't stop there. Inside each of us, is a piece of God, our souls. Eternal, forever, capable of knowing anything God knows. That knowledge is available when<br /> we hit a roadblock and need a lift...there it is...helping us along. All of the information in the universe is inside us now, waiting for us to access it when we are<br /> ready. We didn't come with a book, an owner's manual; the information was imprinted in our very souls and that IS our owner's manual... </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12306 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 02:07:46 +0000 starion 12306@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>That happened a long time ago; years since, I've developed...from my own experience and commonsense a lot of things.<br /> For instance, God created each of us when the universe was created. Being God/All that IS/ God knew each and every one of us intimately, past, present and future and all possible variations of each and brought forth each of us anyway..<br /> Now that fact by itself is profound....that God knew us and brought us forth anyway knowing each tear, each pain, each experience, each of the dark nights of our souls when terrible things would happen, but sent us forth anyway. In other words, having been created by God who knew all that, we were already forgiven, have always been forgiven, never needed absolution, baptism, being saved from our sins or anything else.<br /> We were always loved and loved by our source. We can make mistakes during our learning; everyone does. We are forgiven. We don't have to repeat those mistakes. That's all we need to know. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12305 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 02:00:25 +0000 starion 12305@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>The Bible was one of my first reads.... the first half is Jewish History and Jewish beliefs... and is, in fact, the foundation of the JEWISH religion... The second half...well.???? let me put it this way... If Jesus sanctioned the second half of the Bible... he would have given instructions so that you could follow him, because he told you to follow him, but didn't tell you how...<br /> There are threads but they are incomplete. There's no instructions... no "recipe" and even what is given is convoluted so that a person would have to ask a "professional", priest, rabbi or minister to explain it. When I did, I got the runaround... When I mentioned I had been reborn, I got a big smile. When I said I had a former life, I got yelled at for suggesting that I had a life before this one... As long as I go along with the "rules" I'm fine. If I have a thought of my own outside the church, I have to keep my mouth shut. What kind of belief is that??? Those who think are NOT freely welcomed; they threaten the status quo. </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12302 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 01:37:26 +0000 AsI 12302@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>"if this was really heaven, why would you having a spiritual arrogance against me? in heaven, there shouldn't be arrogance...correct?"</p> <p>This is my Heaven. You call that arrogance? It is simply a way of telling you-no thanks. Simply one value statement to another value statement (above).</p> <p>No one saves you but yourself. </p> <p>Go in peace </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12301 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 01:32:13 +0000 Purpose101 12301@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Asl, if you think Heaven &#38; Hell is a God of hate...you haven't been seeking enough...</p> <p>simply saying heaven is here...everything is light is IGNORANCE...or better yet...almost like this DENIAL you are having about the REALITY of life...</p> <p>look at the world and you call this heaven? sure, you can look at a picture of a cute animal or the beautiful sea and it looks all great and dandy...</p> <p>but what about the ENTIRE picture which also includes the dark sides of life...like murder, rape, hatred, racism, etc...</p> <p>the problem with new age people...and yes, i've been in the new age prior to becoming a believer in Christ...a born again believer....most likely, if you thought you were Christian, you most likely were never a true Christian...because a true CHristian is NOT a church goer...instead, a true Christian is BORN AGAIN...born from ABOVE...</p> <p>back to my point...most new age constantly are living in DENIAL...yes, they are...i used to be like that when i was in new age...i used to hate christians or anything to do with the bible and thought that i was higher level than christians...</p> <p>because i believed in god higher than that...but honestly, your idea of this world is a ILLUSION from the devil (the "Father of lies", the one who comes to "destroy, steal, and kill", "the accuser")...</p> <p>if this was really heaven, why would you having a spiritual arrogance against me? in heaven, there shouldn't be arrogance...correct? </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/533/page/2#post-12297 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 01:24:35 +0000 AsI 12297@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Nice to meet you.

Those were the words of Jesus and I am repeating His words saying that He is the way, the truth and the life and the ONLY way to the Father...</p> <p>to say that you think there should be another way is saying that you know more than God Himself...or you know MORE than God Himself...</p> <p>instead, ask what does God Himself say? and for answers, look in the Bible...if you refuse to accept...it's not a matter of whether you don't see the clear words in the Bible...but it's about your heart unwilling to accept Christ into your heart...</p> <p>BJ<br /> <a href="http://www.Purpose101.com" rel="nofollow">www.Purpose101.com</a> </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/511#post-12227 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 18:28:42 +0000 starlight 12227@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>are 'you' psychoanalyzing 'us'? haha...ROTF... :)</p> <p>good luck! </p> http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/511#post-12226 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 18:26:11 +0000 RevJeff 12226@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ <p>Thank you all for the warm welcome.
