I'mwatching that to! Very interesting. Yeah if Jesus knew any of this, did he give a hint of that, even speaking in language they would have gotten? Why didn't he talk about stuff like that at that time if he knew it? Good question

Stephen Hawking knows more about heaven than Jesus did.
by moshe ini have been watching the discovery channel's, 'into the universe with stephen hawking' and it occurred to me that professor hawking knows more about heaven (which is just part of entire universe) than jesus did.
maybe jesus knew about black holes, alien life, other worlds, the origin of the universe, etc.
jesus could have told us something so remarkable about our universe that it would have taken us 2000 years to confirm jesus' divine knowledge and prove he was the son of g-d, but he instead decided to tell us that heaven "has many rooms"- whoop-dee-doo.. i don't think jesus had a clue that there was anything out the in the physical universe beyond what he could see with his own eyes.

Our country in bad shape
by Weeping inyears ago, when america believed in religion, didn't worship satan, when they worked, and were not using drugs, the u.s. prospered.. now we forget where we came from.
perhaps when we are cast to gehenna, we will remember.. now i've heard some local sunday school teachers are teaching our children that jesus was a woman.
shame on teachers and also parents who allow their children such lies.

Do you really want a review of "where we came from" in this country?

HB, I think truffles is a European thing? Maybe our European friends could clue us in. Have you ever picked fiddle heads? That's what we called them in Maine, it's ferns before they grow up, they are very edible, actually a delicacy, in their early stage. But you have to hit the time just right for it to and I missed it this year:( Another thing I always wanted to do was harvest saffron in Spain. I guess they only do that during a three week period every year and they pick the flower pistons by hand! (At least that's what I read) Can you imagine how beautiful to be out in a field of flowers like that.

Gosh I looooove summer to. Can't wait to get the pool open, spend nice, long afternoons outside with a drink and soaking up the sun.
Heartbreaker, where do you mushroom hunt at? I have always wanted to dig for truffles at least once in my life, always thought that was so cool!

LOVE your ENEMIES: where Jesus goes wrong
by Terry inmatthew 5:44 "but i say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,.
luke 6:35 "but love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return.
the most radical teaching attributed to jesus has implications if followed.. an invading hoarde of mongols would not be resisted.. a christian husband would not only allow his wife and daughters to be raped; he would be compelled to forgive the rapist, pray for him and offer.

What is forgiveness.
Yes that would make for an interesting discussion.
And IMO Jesus was talking about having no attachments, not to physical things, not to things that could cause us pain, etc because if you remained attached to those things on any level, which is all in the mind btw, YOU are the one that suffers the physical and mental anguish of it all. He was giving examples of how to let things go, hence IMO what forgiveness really means btw.

Heard this at work yesterday: If you have sex with a prostitute against her will, is it rape or shop lifting.
Did I stump you??

Zen living part 8 (summarized): You've already started living zen
by JimmyPage inyour life has already begun, and you can start living in the moment right now.. everything you need to live mindfully and completely is already within you.. doing your job, maintaining personal discipline, and developing devotion toward fellow sentient beings and the care of the world are ideal arenas for practicing mindfulness and letting go of attachments.. zen meditation, or zazen, is simply but mindfully sitting to cultivate full awareness.. meditation is difficult because the mind is in the habit of attaching to thoughts, feelings, ideas, and opinions.
everyday sitting will gradually train your mind to observe rather than attach..
