  What if you're missing the purpose?

  by journey-on in

  1. jw

  for those of you who espouse the philosophy that one needs to discard who we "think" we are and embrace the "reality" of who we really are, what if, there is a divine purpose to our miniscule existence in the here and now and that purpose is to experience the pull of opposite forces (duality), and you are missing it by not allowing yourself to experience the ego self?

  what if you are missing the whole purpose of this pull of pain and joy by trying to suppress it or place yourself outside of it?

  the below is a short story sent to me by a friend and it is an example of what i'm inferring.

  I honestly have not felt a flip side. Maybe it's all too new to me still...

  I was told all my life that this life was not the real one. To "keep my eye on the prize". That it did not matter that things "sucked" now, all would be well in the new system.

  I watched my parents grow old and sick. I see true futility in their attempts to "work out their salvation" while turning their backs on family and experiences that could enrich and enhance their golden years.

  My giving up the concept of god and an eternal reward allows me to enjoy life as I never had before. I does not make me sad. It makes me feel real and complete.

  nvrbnbk: I don't agree that nothing really matters. What matters to you is what matters. And what matters to you does not have to be dictated or approved by anyone else.

  Taking god out of the equation made me feel more empowered and therefore more purposefull in everything I do, because now it's solely up to me. That's not futility, it's freedom.

  Somebody mentioned Karma. I do believe that "what goes around, comes around", but not in a spiritual sense. Not in the sense that if you do good someone will reward you or if you do bad someone will punish you. But in the sense that we can change the outcome of most situations by our own behavior and perseption. In the sense that there are natural consequences to our behavior.

  I also believe that we attract positive people with a positive attitude and viceversa. Not in the glib "law of attraction" of The Secret, but in a practical sense.

  All this does not imply that bad things can't and don't happen to good people. Or that the innocent don't often suffer through no fault of thier own.

  Does evolution destroy the fall and by consequence sin and the cross?

  by Qcmbr in

  2. bible

  if we postulate that creation in the six day magic rendition of genesis is tosh and replace it with evolution how does that effect the concept of the fall?

  No creation. No fall. No need for redemotion.

  Quit beating your imperfect, sinful self up.
