The idea of God as shepherd has been a recurring theme for me the past few months; I looked it up once, and the term shepherd comes up over 100 times throughout the Bible. juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-5685665680475461212016-10-31T13:51:29.326-07:002016-10-31T13:51:29.326-07:00Julie, sorry I didn't answer until now. I'...Julie, sorry I didn't answer until now. I'm so sporadic and had trouble finding this again. Nice to see you. The raccoon video is great. I'm lifting it.<br /><br />I've been hearing about the Isa Dreams for a while now. For me as a Catholic, they have meaning and are significant. <br /><br />The Peruvian president has consecrated Peru to the Sacred Heart, the Immaculate Heart.<br /><br />We live in interesting times. <br /><br />You know what makes me happiest? Our two sons, who have grown up, both remain faithful Mass-goers. I was not expecting that or counting on that, but it is so. One is in the military. One is at university, but is also in ROTC. <br /><br />I have had several significant waking visions. One occurred after I basically decided I was going to hide from God. I had a waking vision of a place with no God in it, and me, just whimpering monotonously and endlessly. I was asked to make a choice: God or no God. I decided I didn't want to live in a world with no God.<br /><br />Sometime after that, I rounded the curve in a road in Germany and suddenly caught a glimpse of a very spectacular, intense, crystal clear reality. <br /><br />The third vision also occurred in Germany, during another military tour, and I saw God as a shepherd, dancing on a hill, and invading all of his creation.

It was His essence perhaps that finally clicked.<br />So...how does one recognize Christ in a dream when there are no pictures of Him. Is one conjuring an image or recognizing essence.. If a person who looks like traditional depictions of Christ, and he says he is Christ, is that enough to convince you? It seems an actual pressence is needed.

Well, to even call something an object -- to even notice it -- is to abstract some essence from it.."<br /><br />Been thinking lately that "essence" may be how memory works or what is the "imagery" we "see" in dreams. I'm not so certain we actually see images when we dream but something more like we feel the essence of an object. A person appearing to you in a dream may be more their unique essence signature (a stored feeling of the person). Could explain why the content of dreams seem more fluid (run together) than the more linear progression of events in the awake state. This essence may be a more important "part" of an object or person than it's DNA. I don't think essence is the same as soul.<br /><br />I do not have any pot.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994306709948231112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-63510978478137289562016-10-28T13:44:45.121-07:002016-10-28T13:44:45.121-07:00Unless of course you like the idea of living out t...Unless of course you like the idea of living out the Venezuelan dream.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-48778529172028277782016-10-28T13:43:42.670-07:002016-10-28T13:43:42.670-07:00No. Whatever the situation is, the answer is never...No. Whatever the situation is, the answer is never "bigger government to ensure the distribution of lucre."juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-34382814203792741862016-10-28T13:24:24.087-07:002016-10-28T13:24:24.087-07:00I've heard some loose talk that most many jobs...I've heard some loose talk that most many jobs aren't really needed in our society. It's make- work under the banner of "You must earn a living." Sure we need truck drivers, farmers, teachers, and a host of others. But the legions of managers, and inspectors, and inspectors to inspect the inspectors, and so forth, are a creation of a system that doesn't understand (or doesn't want to understand) we've reached a tipping point where huge masses of people could be set free to pursue the arts, travel, be creative, etc, all on surplus wealth without having to grind away at some useless endeavor in the name of the "work ethic." At some point efficiency will reach such levels as only a paltry fragment of society will have to work due to automation. Therefore a strong, centralized government which ensures the distribution of the lucre would be needed. Or it could be privatized. Comments?
