  Whats a Real family Really like and how does one get there?

  by Celtic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they say patience is a good thing, but what happens when your patience starts to run out?.

  what's it like having a real real family, a family where different members look out for one another and offer support when the going gets tough?.

  i feel somewhat ashamed of myself for posting this question.

  JGnat, that was perfect............put it all into perspective for all of us as a reminder when we start feeling sorry for ourselves..............I have found that the more proactive I am for my own happiness, the happier I become! I have also learned how to be comfortable when I am alone. It's taken some time and hard work on my part, but, I strongly encourage you to do it........it makes you feel great....that you have a certain amount of strength and independence, all very good qualities to have!

  Apology to Little Witch

  by Yerusalyim in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in a now locked thread i called little witch...liberal witch.

  i did it to get under her skin...she isn't liberal...nor is she a witch.

  she's actually fairly conservative...i've apologized to her privately...but wanted to do so publically.. folks...i'm a bleeding heart conservative...i can't change...don't want to change...i'm sorry if i come on a little strong sometimes...but it's better than being wishy washy...at least in my opinion....sometimes i piss people off...and sometimes i do it on purpose...and this behavior goes on in this board from the right...the left and the middle.. let's all play nice...i'll start........there...isn't that better?

  Personally, I think there is greatness and wisdom in being able to be humble and in being able to control one's words for fear of hurting another. A long time ago I was accused of having the tact of an elephant in heat. Whatever came into my mind went from there right off my tongue with no consideration of the consequences..................to myself or others. When we deliberately post or say something to bait another, we have to take the consequences. Personally, I have learned that there are too many other more important things to put my energy into that are far more productive, than wasting it in arguments that probably won't go anywhere, especially if I did it in an aggressive, baiting way to begin with. I wish to live in peace and harmony with my fellow earthlings, so I engage my brain and heart before engaging my tongue.

  astrology and the bible

  by zen nudist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the book of revelations we find an interesting thing... god seated upon his throne enshrouded by the rainbow surrounded by the four living creatures... a lion, the bull, the man and the eagle... .

  one need not look far to find an striking parallel... coincidence?

  you judge.. the sun is surrounded by the rainbow and the four corners of the ancient sky in astrology, the constellations of leo [the lion] taurus [the bull], aquarius [the man carrying water] and scorpio which in ancient times was also symbolized by an eagle.. that these four are only the corners every 4104 years may be important to understanding when the bible was first written... .

  Just like nursery rhymes and fairy tales today had meaning specific to the plague or TB etc.

  To the "collective conscious" these are all archetypical representations that endure forever in every society, etc..........so, they do still have meaning, whether we acknowledge they do now or not.............

  It is however a mistake to attempt to decifer an astrological meaning behind every story or image.

  PP, no one is, ZN made specific reference to the book of Revelation, which was written by John, at the end of his life, on the Island of Patmos..................John corresponds to the Eagle. I am not surprised at all by these references.........the Bible is just another Mystical Book among many................

  Elderly Woman Found Alive in Iranian Quake Rubble

  "Farojpour said the supply of opium to the city's addicts had been disrupted. Before the temblor, an estimated 20 percent of people over the age of 15 in a population of 80,000 were believed to be addicted.

  Methadone, codeine and sterile syringes were being given to drug addicts, Farojpour said."

  Brenda, I read with fascination your description of your mom's last hours on this side, the physical side.............I have been a believer for many years of life after death, and have read tons of information on it. My latest read was "Saved by the Light" by a man who died twice.........each time he went thru a beautiful tunnel to bright light that felt alive, did a life review, etc. My mom has had OOB experiences at least 3 times, so I know it's true. To me, it makes everything bittersweet......knowing she is just existing on a different plane of energy than we here on earth. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
