I understand aversion to religion, even anger because of what has happened to the Afrikan especially as a result of religion but God (IAM) does not excuse us from building a relationship with God. The Bible can be dissected and criticized righteously just like other sacred books but it is only through faith (Stepping out onto the unknown) that you can see the power within it. It is internal not external. The external is all around you. The Miracle that you call your kids. The internal hoping that really do realize you love them.<BR/><BR/>God (IAM) Bless you! <BR/>I just want us not to get hustled by charlatans and con men.<BR/>Jayceeachoiceofweaponshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14742415077326783252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805070284322978129.post-35112368582522254432008-12-08T17:45:00.000-08:002008-12-08T17:45:00.000-08:00I think this is all proof positive that people fee...I think this is all proof positive that people feel the need to be part of something. This is why I don't believe or buy into religion as I think it appeals to the needs of these people falsely.<BR/><BR/>At this point in my life, I don't know if there is a God. But I damn sure won't trust anyone who telles me that they can show me the way to him. Last time I checked, I thought spirituality was a personal one on one experience.RiPPahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876723972974044402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805070284322978129.post-71475236975352094382008-12-08T11:29:00.000-08:002008-12-08T11:29:00.000-08:00Wonderful Post.

For those folks, we need to be our brother's keeper and watch their backs. But that's a small minority. The vast majority of us need to be responsible for our actions by studying God's Word, or any words for that matter, to know what reactions our actions have. If you operate in a mental/spiritual vacuum, it's not because you don't have a choice to study to show yourselve approved.Dwane T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16218649785614098860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805070284322978129.post-39863935239744566752008-12-07T08:32:00.000-08:002008-12-07T08:32:00.000-08:00We get hustled cause we neglect to read the Bible,...We get hustled cause we neglect to read the Bible, the Quran , Gita or insert your Holy Book here!

Yes, I know God uses many to influence and instruct, but I learned early on how to recognize believers from those who held that title but could cause harm. <BR/><BR/>A big tip for most should be that if your promise of being "free indeed" is compromised by control in any form, beware, and run for the hills -- from where your help comes from [Psalm 121]!Believerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957900267165698972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805070284322978129.post-70557931164566926512008-12-05T22:47:00.000-08:002008-12-05T22:47:00.000-08:00Mista Jaycee this is some deep stuff thanks.Mista Jaycee this is some deep stuff thanks.Ann Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273380949544392923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805070284322978129.post-88001402152071718212008-12-05T22:30:00.000-08:002008-12-05T22:30:00.000-08:00Cool!

I was having a bit of a religious debate/discussion with a very good friend of mine and for a change we agreed on something, because I was guilty in earlier conversations of not referencing the actual religious texts and just going on and on off of emotion and "stuff I heard". He is very well read and I used to be quite the frustration to him. But this time I did my homework and it made us end up going off into a conversation similar to your post...Naturally Alisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587741755923221587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805070284322978129.post-91841594726954257832008-12-05T19:06:00.000-08:002008-12-05T19:06:00.000-08:00No doubt that TM has benefits!

Now I know that George continued with the Hare Krishna Movement and Paul is a Vegetarian and animal rights activist and sure I am sure they soften, realized mistakes and bad judgements but at the time their anger was real. They felt like they had been duped and because of their influence they might have opened the door for alot of people to get duped by other gurus.

There was gossip in the press about how the Beatles' were "disappointed" with maharishi, but the gossip about Maharishi turned out to be untrue, and John's anger, in the end, was misplaced and had nothing to do with Maharishi. Paul and Ringo still practice TM, as did George till the end of his life. Paul had the kindest of words for Maharishi, after he died earlier this year. Even John, in his last interview with Rolling Stone, referred to Maharishi as the "father figure of his life." John obviously had some father figure issues. <BR/><BR/>Maharishi was a great teacher of meditation who gave much to the world.laughing crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852970904702444890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805070284322978129.post-38885595867694305802008-12-05T14:00:00.000-08:002008-12-05T14:00:00.000-08:00I love reading and learning from you...I love reading and learning from you...Miss.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09271273142396372698noreply@blogger.com
