I slept very late yesterday watching many panel discussions on Nethanyahu’s speech to the Congress, hence got up late to see your train of questions.

Your interesting response (“you've raised more questions rather than answer any “) helps me to answer all your questions in whole-sale!

There are many people who do not believe man has landed in Moon in 1969 (google search will give you why they feel so). The only answer we can give to them is that ‘you take up your own moon-mission.’ The same applies to you also. You try own meditation. The way you stop your tongue from talking, you can stop the talking of your mind (which is called thinking). When you are in such a pure conscious stage, one day you will come in alignment with THE PURE CONSCIOUSNESS which is your very source. Then you will feel an equalization taking place with regard to what is lacking in you—like water finding its own level which means pipe is connected to a water source. In which color of rays you will receive supply of qualities you have gone depleted may or may not happen the exact way it happened to me. It’s my own experience, and I have not compared with anyone else’s experience. Each quality comes in certain rays of color—this has been my experience. (don’t ask how can you see color when you have switched off all your senses…..it may be the same mechanism that happens in your dream—we see color, yet our physical eyes are sleeping at that time—which shows our soul is the real experiencer which uses our bodily sense organs, yet it also sees without bodily organ, the eyes—how? Because the soul is the exact representation of the very being of God). In that connected condition, “communication happens between your consciousness and THE PURE CONSCIOUSENESS.” How? I am not able to experiment that. When I enjoy the fragrance of the flower, that is not the time to find out the chemistry of fragrance-transmission. There was one great scientist who understood this perfectly—Nikola Tesla—who contributed much of the electricity-related inventions of other scientists. But he was almost like disfellowshipped from the community of Scientists. He said: “When the scientists study this supernatural, they will accomplish in one decade more than they accomplished until now.” And I am a follower of Nikola Tesla.

This is not my experience (not interpretation of meditation). This is true for me because when I go to meditation, I may not always know which quality I am lacking in, but during the meditation an equalization would naturally take place—like water finding its own level which means pipe is connected to a water source.

You ask: “Others that meditate do not necessarily share your views, are they wrong?”

When you go to meditate, you have to empty yourself of all your prejudices, your religious views and your own view of God. Otherwise you are limiting yourself, and you never get connected to the whole which means different views, different experiences.

The condition of your brain waves at the time of your deep sleep is called Delta Frequency. When you bring this frequency consciously during your wakeful stage is Delta Frequency Meditation. Meditation is concentrating on the gap between your thoughts (which is actually the talk of your mind), and widening it as far as possible to the extent of no thought happening. Once you reached this stage, you get connected to your Supreme Source (God). How do you know He is your Source? From the beam of rays that you receive in different colors—each one representing different qualities which finds perfect synchronization with the very being of our inner essence. For example, when you receive red colored rays, you feel empowered, orange (purifying effect), yellow (joyful feeling), green (loveful feeling), blue (peaceful), indigo (wisdom), violet (balance/bliss). These qualities are benevolent and beneficent in nature, hence originate from God. And the moment you mention about any of your personal need, you lose the connection! From my meditation, what I have understood is that God hates to hear prayer in contrast to the much-publicized statement that God is a God of prayer! Continuing in this Delta Frequency gives you an extraordinary physical pleasure too [bonus] which is not comparable to anything you have known in your life. That is why people like Jesus spent the whole night being connected with God. (Mark 1:35; John 8:1, 2)

Why are extraterrestrials pictured in ugly form in movies?

by abiather in

humans have produced many movies on extraterrestrials.

yet all of them are shown in ugly form.

why cant we depict an et more beautiful/handsome than humans.

No bohm, I will be here as Abiather. I won't change my name. I enjoy all comments--and never distinguish between favorable or unfavorable. Everyone is the offspring of their circumstance, hence I value their comments, and do not take any comments personally.

You got it wrongly!

When Coded Logic asked me: How I know God is not subjected to scientific instruments: I said: I know because when I enter into Delta Frequency (when all senses being switched off and thinking stopped) only, I get linked to God's frequency.

This reply was not intended to introduce any type of meditation here in this forum. For that you have many agencies outside.

Xanthippe

You ask: “If a bolt of lightning strikes a person and stops their heart who directs that? What is the goal of flesh-sizzling lightning?”

The principle of justice is inherent in the fabric of the cosmos. In Chinese religion there is both an impersonal Tao or Heaven which gives recompense according to PRINCIPLE and Taoist deities who execute judgment.

“for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”—Galatians 6:7

Law of justice is inseparably connected with God’s very being. It goes like this: God does only what is good, hence giver of happiness. (Mathew 5:44-48) So if you give happiness to others, happiness will return to you (means by which it returns may vary from person to person depending upon each one’s circumstance); and if you make others sad, sadness will return to you (by what means matters not). Suppose I insulted you, and I may not be insulted by anyone—because insult will not make me distressed. Hence God and nature will make sure that I get distressed in other areas—may be through financial loss. Then I cannot lament saying: “I do lot of charity work, and why I suffered such a financial loss?”

So Law of justice is all about attitude, rather than action. An innocent may SEEM to be punished. That is because we see only the tip of the ice berg. The sowing may have been happened in the past—distant or immediate, or committed crime yet not caught, or planned but not executed, or would happen only in the future—it is all about attitude you carry, not necessarily about action. It is like you going to a house [which you were sure nobody was in] in the middle of the night with the intention of stealing; but could not steal as the neighbors were awake! But in principle you are a thief in your heart—something which you ONLY know whereas the rest of the world does not know. (Compare What Bible says in Mathew 5:28) Now years later you are caught for stealing about which you do not know anything. Knowing your plight, the world may lament saying: the innocent is suffering! Take another case which I know personally: One Elder’s daughter was detained in the Air Port as terror suspect, but later was released as she could prove her innocence. But it caused to her and the whole congregation much distress as she missed her flight. You would have blamed the system! But wait! Soon she was disfellowshipped from congregation for a long-term adulterous relationship with another Elder (which was going on secretly for years). This shows the attitude of betrayal was already there in her heart as she was already married to an innocent Elder. If you give distress to someone, distress will come to you—not necessarily the exact way in which it was given by you! If you caused a suffering to someone as though a bolt of lightning struck him, you are actually paving the way for such calamity to come to you.

,

Our views are inadvertently shaped by the world we live in. See a predominant attitude that rules most of the people in the world: People buy things they do not often need with the money they do not have to impress people they don’t like! Now ask them: What do you get after impressing others? They will say: We get nothing! Then ask: “Why do you take all these troubles?” They may say: “Because all are doing, hence we too!” So is the case with people who greedily accumulate things which they can neither use fully nor carry with them when they leave this world—something which Alexander the Great and Bhuddha taught us with their very lives.

So, just because we cannot find purpose in what people in general do, we tend to see no purpose in what God too does. In His case, He does everything for some reason which may or may not be known to us for the time being. Yet we can discern something: Things in the world move toward goals, just as the arrow does not move toward its goal except by the archer's directing it. Thus, there must be an intelligent designer who directs all things to their goals!

Evolution - Myths and Evidence

by maksutov in

i have nearly finished writing my 'apostate' book, which i will soon be publishing as a free e-book.

here is an excerpt from it on the subject of evolution and the misconceptions about it held by jws.

sorry it's a bit long, but i would appreciate any feedback.

Saying humans evolved from apes, and saying “Modern monkeys and humans share a common ancestor” both are SAME IN PRINCIPLE as common ancestor is one species and monkeys & humans are totally different species. This is what exactly Darwin admitted would not happen: ““Not one change of species into another is on record ... we cannot prove that a single species has been changed." (Charles Darwin, My Life &Letters). ". ... Paleobiology, vol 6(1), January 1980, pg 127.”

It is like saying I was in bondage with iron chain, now I am not in bondage as iron chain is replaced with golden chain!

Liquid water is a requirement for life on Earth. But in other, much colder worlds, life might exist beyond the bounds of water-based chemistry. Cornell chemical engineers and astronomers offer a template for life that could thrive in a harsh, cold world specifically Titan, the giant moon of Saturn. A planetary body awash with seas not of water, but of liquid methane, Titan could harbor methane-based, oxygen-free cells that metabolize, reproduce and do everything life on Earth does. (http://www.sci-news.com/space/science-azotosome-oxygen-free-methane-based-life-forms-titan-02549.html)

Interestingly, this is good-news for both atheists and theists alike! Materialists would say life can exist anywhere without the help of God. And those believing in God would say that this is yet another proof that God exists (Life varies according to the nature of its host, as oxygen-based on earth, and methane-based on Titan …and something-else-based on some other planet …… It means life follows certain Law (not chance), and Law presupposes LAW-GIVER.

This shows the two groups—atheists and theists—will be there eternally as whatever happens satisfies both the groups! Interestingly, God is indifferent to both the groups. (Compare Mathew 5:44-48; 7:21-23)

You could read exactly what I was highlighting! I am happy to see you not fearful of reading a different view than yours. That shows you are firm about your beliefs.

You said: “So the idea of humans not being able to portray a being more beautiful than themselves is a non-starter.”

That means it is even more true that species cannot evolve into another species, it’s a non-starter.
