God feeds us Wisdom & Empowerment & Truth. Void feeds Void & produces nothing but Void - which leads to one being "deVoid of Truth!"<BR/><BR/>Student Raccoons: On our latest rounds here at One Cosmos Hospital, you see an advanced case of spiritual "Dain Bramage" which occurs when one imbibes sweet-tasting poison-laced Kool-Aid, as in "All is Relative. Equivalency Rules. There's No Absolute Truth." Utter senselessness, Zombie brain-coma & Void-addiction results in Spiritual Death. You won't encounter viruses or parasites in Eternity as they never make hospitable community & Eternity is free of them. However, here on Earth, Truth is your Antiseptic & AntiViral Zapper, is your Protective Spiritual Shield. Apply Often. Daily.<BR/><BR/>You'd think after failing to replicate Big Daddy thousands of times the Enemy would either get it right or give it up. His followers robotically perform same senseless repetitions ad nauseam. As long as idiots are gullible enuf to be conned to imbibe noxious spiritual turpentine, parasites won't quit; they live on autopilot as in, "Lights are on but nobody's home."<BR/><BR/>SwamiSnot's comments ARE slightly useful for Truth-Target Practice for New Coons to cut their teeth on, like when kids busy themselves w/Hidden Pictures or a Hidden Word Search activity in the Waiting Room at the Dentist's office. But even the youngest coon here'snot stoopid enuf to fall for the germy-drivel SwamiSnot sneezes to infect others. Absolute Truth innoculates one against viral attacks of all kinds very effectively.<BR/><BR/>SwamiSnot's Waste is a Terrible Thing to Mind.<BR/><BR/>As Professor Bob teaches us: Shun Yadda's Kool-aid - but Drink YourDaily BlogMilk.

Not that I am against it or overly lazy, of course. I attribute it to Irish heritage, and the fact that my temper is allergic to the so-called "trolls". Narrow minds make me claustrophobic.<BR/><BR/>At any rate...<BR/><BR/>Allow me to vocally consider Fearless Leader's reasons for his post. Not fame, not propaganda, but as Bob states, "...the ultimate purpose is not to promulgate a dogma but to provide material for the reader's own intellection." <BR/><BR/>This is excellent.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like exercise to me. I do push-ups and sit-ups to maintain some manner of physical fitness in my otherwise computerized lifestyle. I find that individually, the exercises have no point. A sit-up brings no special accomplishment (though it probably will in 10 years). A push-up does not take me breathless into self-actualization. Yet somehow, the act repeated for its own sake benefits my existence as a person.<BR/><BR/>I find that fraternization with Raccoons proffers a similar regime for my mind, and this is why I am here.

Yes, we're talking churches, radio programs, blogs etc. And guess what? 43, count em' FORTY THREE Democrats voted in favor of the bill witch contained that clause. There are only 51 Democrats in the Senate and one of those is in the hospital in a comma. (the rest seem to be in the same state, just not in the hospital). Luckily ALL Republicans and a handful of Democrats voted against it and it went down to defeat.<BR/>So everytime you see Nancy Pelosi on the tube or hear her on the radio think "Progressive" Congressional Caucus, Demoratic Socialists of America, etc. and KNOW that their power is all about your loss of liberty.<BR/>And yes the Repubs suck too but at least there is a chance of shaming them into following the Constitution, the Dems just want to wipe their asses with it and flush.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1169430009211255862007-01-21T17:40:00.000-08:002007-01-21T17:40:00.000-08:00If you could penetrate and see through the things ...If you could penetrate and see through the things that you put in front of yourself, through the filters of your own prejudices and unconscious tendencies,you would see directly what is present, which pervades all space and every atom.<BR/><BR/>All of space contains all of the Truth. Every fraction of matter and every part of light, if penetrated, reveals the Absolute which is eternally Present, Omnipresent and All-Pervading. It need not be sought elsewhere. It need not be sought in a particular place inside ourseleves or in the world. Neither has it anything to do with any "historical" "revelation" or "evidence".<BR/><BR/>We must let our attention be in God. Whatever the circumstance, whatever the phenomenon that seems to be arising in the moment, nothing is to be seen but this one Divine Reality. And it is not just to be believed to be there. It can be most perfectly and directly Realized as the obvious.<BR/><BR/>In Truth there is only absolute free energy and no forms. There is only infinite Being, no mind, no self,no fixed attention. <BR/><BR/>Wherever there is free attention there is free energy. Then the world is seen to be free energy, not energy in bondage. The world is seen through. Its absolute aliveness or blissfulness is Realized.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-1169427575367669472007-01-21T16:59:00.000-08:002007-01-21T16:59:00.000-08:00Wow!
