You are from your father the devil!

by sinis in

has anyone stopped to think what jesus was really saying to the jews?

jesus also says that you have neither seen nor heard him.

well the ot speaks of how the jews on several occassions not only saw gods ass (backside) but also heard him speak.

(((Mr Mojo)))

Yahweh obviously was not considered byJesus to be the Heavenly Father

Interesting. Can you elaborate? Though I am not the scholarly type, it always seemed to me that the Jesus always referred to his Father in deference to that which is superior to himself. Was he referring to another "Father"? It is almost amusing to consider the fact he was a bastard in a more philisophical fashion (apologies to Joseph ;-)

Dreams and Interpretations - Opinions?

by Twitch in

.

having changed some of my "habits" recently, i've been having some rather intense dreams as of late and recall them vividly.

just thought to poll the masses on the subject of dream interpretation and what others think/don't think about the topic.

Twitch

I've always been fascinated with the topic of the lucid dream. It's been somewhat of a "hobby" actually to the point of training myself to enter and maintain the state. As you may know, it most often occurs while just falling asleep or waking and seems like a semi-conscious dream with some amount of conscious awareness and control. My experiance has been that it's not like dreaming in the usual sense but more like a "window" to places and persons that I sometimes can choose or not. What makes it fascinating is the "realism", it's just like being there, though sometimes it's kinda hazy kinda like tuning a far away radio station and trying to cut through the static. I've rarely talked about this as most ppl don't seem to approach such things with an open mind. Not that I am a true believer of out-of-body experiences but I'll have to admit if such a thing exists, it's pretty damn close. But then again, it's just a dream,...lol

As for the usual dream state, I've found a certain level of control in awareness of the dream and often feel in control of it. I can choose to awake (no pun intended) if it's going badly and thus don't have nightmares, typically anyways. Awareness of it while it's happening offers some measure of "directing" it, to some degree

I've had the flying dreams which are by far the best. I recall one where I was running and began "bounding" like a deer, progressively jumping farther and higher until I just left the ground and floated along a thousand feet up. So cool. They say it's a unconscious reflection of freedom and well being.

I recall the days of being a dub kid and having the "paralysis" dreams where someone was after me and i froze, unable to move and feeling like I weighed a ton. Fear figured prominently. I attribute this kinda stuff to a reflection of feeling out of control of my life, which was obviously true at the time.

Of course, dream interpretation is subjective and just that, interpretation. And I agree that as with most interpretation, one can take what one wants.

Fascinating stuff though.

My son is in love with a puzzle

yesterday i bought my son (he's 2, soon to be 3 tomorrow) a $1 puzzle of united states.

i bought it because we have a much bigger floor puzzle of the us but it's too big for him to keep trying to put together, it gets in the way.

he instantly fell in love with the puzzle.

:-)

I suspect the tyke may enjoy models in the future. A different kind of puzzle.

I hear ya. Soldier on ;-)

I've never regretted letting someone in. Or letting them out. The pathos leads to growth, more than I ever could've done on my own.

A bit reluctant

i'm a bit reluctant in writing this post, for i dont feel i should be here.

even a bit nervous... .

i've never officially dedicated myself to jehovah, but i was brought up in the truth, very strong, and at times when getting older, there were lulls in my attendance... yet to this day i still attend.
