TRUTH of the divine

[cryogenicplum]

On my search for religion and spiritualiuty, I have recently come to realize (ponder): why am i asking these questions? Why am I continually asking questions about the bible? I want to dig to the root of the beliefs and find what is true to me within them...

but what if I'm just asking questions until I find the answer I want to hear?  And if I

We should have coffee

Hey michelle, its Jon Plante, Amanda's freind. Your post is in particular intrest to me because i too, like many others, cant seem to put my finger on Truth. I tried Christianity and i think the cosmos told me it wasnt for me when i was kicked out of a Christian class i was taking, when my friends funeral was on the same day; which meant i woudnt show, and that was forbidin. I really dont know too much about other beliefs, but the one thing i do know is the burning light/feeling (only way to describe it) that i feel coming from my heart that i precieve as Truth. Ultimately, of course, i cant really say what reality or truth Is, but i do know what my body, mind, and heart tell me, and so far i have not been "led astray", if you will. I believe that we ultimately need to believe in ourselves instead of looking to someone or something else. Everything in the universe had to come from something common, some like trait, like Darwin said, and that means that whatever Is out there is in me as well. So, when it comes to Higher power, or lower forms, i dont buy it; I have the power to make myself the higher one, the lower one, or the undressed man.

Aaaaaay! (fonz) I don't know about a higher power, i'm not sure if it is a creator or caretaker... but could you imagine that you ARE god? Like in the matrix, if we each fully realized our potential, we could manipulate everything around us..but like, only when we wake up... I don't know, i just am thinking of stuff off the top of my head... I like to think of what ifs then the really likely or interesting ones then explore them... Even if there is no GOD there may be some cosmic force that pulls things together, i think that everything is fractal, or like, we are as cells in a body, we function together but each for our own ,means and a large group makes up an organ and lots of organs make up the organ systems then they make up the body of the universal cosmos.... we work as destiny has us because we cannot work any other way, we are all connected and I think that is the most important thing...
