"Scientology, how about that? You hold on to the tin cans..."
Scientology, how about that? You hold on to the tin cans and then this guy asks you a bunch of questions, and if you pay enough money you get to join the master race. How's that for a religion?

2. Actually you have to refuse to be part of such thoughts, or thats how I think about it.
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 03:17 PM by RandomThoughts

There are two thoughts on that, one is that there are more attempts to harass put on you to try to get you to think you are superior to someone else, the other thought is more power flows your way as you refuse to use it for wrong.

So you can see it as more delusions as you don't become what you feel is wrong, the other is that they are not delusions and things really have effects.

:shrug:

Doesn't matter either way, the Voss got it right, they don't want to hear what everyone thinks the supernatural is, becuase nobody knows, and it is blind leading blind trying to say you understand it.

However you can say it exists, just not the exact form, since how would a person know for sure. I think that is why they call most beliefs faith.

and I am due beer and travel money and many experiences.


I do like many songs of good cheer, hope and love.

7. Yup, shooting stars don't last long, but we remember and they change our view of reality.

One of his clips could be considered in every aspect of our lives:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZkhR8suCF4

I was reading something along these lines the other day, that took it even further than Bill did there. I forgot who said it, but some guy said evil will continue because it's a game.

Now that is pretty offensive when you refuse to consider Bill may be right in the video, because we do have a lot invested in what we think is right and wrong and winning and stuff.

(What I'm saying, is not perfectly expressed, but)

The gist of what the guys said was this:

We are playing at being evil. We are playing at what we know is an illusion and it's game that we are doing on this planet. I think that idea is kinda offensive, still, it resonated with me.

The liberating thing that struck me was:

When we are willing to give up this creation we've been playing around in, we advance to the next stage, the true creativity that can only be worked on with total love.

Then things will be more clear and too simple to our current lower vibration which resists because it fears it will be boring.

But it won't be, not really, just like growing up is not dying, either.

Actually, this clip is closer to what you're saying, I think:
