  her suffering is finally over.

  marilyn has been battling cancer for about three years and at times it looked like she would win.

  but in the last few months the cancer spread.

  I do not know these people but 60 years is an incredible time to be with someone. The sadness and feelings of and pain and loss must be indescribable. My heart goes out to this obviously very fine gentleman.

  i don't know if it has been a good thing or a bad thing to have found this site.

  i stumbled on it about a year ago as i mentioned in previous posts.

  it has opened my eyes to so many things, but right now all is confusion.

  That is indeed one incredible list Focus and I have come across and been through it via other sources but very useful to have it all on once place as you have made it. It's the things in this list that contributed to my breaking free. In fact there was no breaking free.. the mental shackles just fell off like paper chains.

  Thank you for sharing. I go back to it occasionally whenever my fickle human mind starts wandering.

  Sometimes the best thing we can do is just let go and move forward, whatever it may be that you need to let go of..people, thoughts, ideas, belief systems and more..

  Losing Faith in Faith..

  i came across this lecture at 3am not being able to sleep by dan baker.

  it details his transition from christian fundamentalist to atheist and the various shades in-between.

  he realises that every denomination of christian can open the bible and prove to you that they have the right interpretation and everyone else is wrong.

  @ Pronomono:

  Yeah crazy right?

  I would not describe myself as an atheist.. I have just come to the conclusion that I am no longer going to try to seek God in a 'organisation', a religion, a building, or a book, (or many books as in 66 so called Bible books), or in others opinions.
  
  It seems that spirituality has been turned into an intellectual and academic exercise requiring vast study, the devotion to many books
  and endless lifelong research upon research. I'm sick of it as I am sick and weary of the millions of opinions and variations of truth and that every single person claims he or she the 'real' truth.
  
  I simply refuse to accept anything from people any more with their second-hand invented interpretations.
  
  I don't want to find God with my brain either.. If I find him at all I want to find him with my heart and feel him with my spirit. Studying endless scriptures does not help anyone to find God. The living God is not to be found in any building and certainly not between the pages of a book.
  
  According to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, there are approximately 41,000 Christian denominations and organizations in the world.
  
  41,000 different Christian denominations!!! 41,000 different versions of truth from that same one book called the Bible!! And that's just the denominations, with individuals there are as many versions of truth as there are people on earth!
  
  That's insane.
  
  So who is right? Each one thinks that they are.

  I will no longer trust or rely on any person or any book. I don't need to study or have someone teach be about an old historical antiquated God whose last apparent major interaction with humans was almost 3,300 years ago.
  
  I need nothing less than to experience the 'Living God'.

  these are not coffee table names but they influenced the worlds of music and civil rights for 5 decades.

  bassist charlie haden and journalist john seigenthaler.. during my pioneer years in the late 1960s and early 1970s my pioneeer buddy and i would go to the lighthouse in hermosa beach, ca.. and listen to the great jazz artists of the time.

  when we were underage they would let us in through the alley door.
