What Do You WANT To Believe?


I'm a Buddhist.  As such, I believe in the power of the Mind.  And I accept that we live in the world that we have all agreed to believe in.

Do you agree with that?  It doesn't matter.  Your Mind's influence on the world is incredibly powerful and unequivocal.  Do you disbelieve this?  Oh, ye of little faith.  Your Mind is All.

LUD gets it.  Very few others do.  Why?  Because you don't work hard enough.

When God created you in His Own Image, He endowed with all the Power of Creation He Himself possesses.  He held back nothing fpr Hiiiiself..

To underestimate the power of your own Mind is to be inexcuasbly  arrogant.  You have the Power to Create Reality.   To deny that Power to yourself is to deny what you are.

YOU ARE GOD.  Do you understand?  The Bible says, "I have said you are Gods."  Do you doubt that?  Do you doubt that?

Thou Art God - Stranger in a Strange Land

I grok that.

I do not believe in bunnycats.

(pooof!)

Where did hrebendorf go?

Just having fun, h.

Let go of the dogma. Let go of the believe and disbelieve. Breathe and be.

Or not.

I believe we all have the power to control ourselves and to choose if we are a blessing or a curse in this life.

As a Christian, I do not believe I am God - but do believe in God and his teachings.

This earth is our responsibility. I also believe we are not to judge, but to stand up and speak out about what is harmful to the land and the people. And also what is good.

It is up to each of us to bestow love, goodwill and respect for all created whether it be land or human.

Thanks for your post. So appreciate and rec'd.

"In the midst of winter, I found within myself an invincible Summer." --Albert Camus

"When I looked down over the rotting mountains of Sinkiang to the distant snowy hills, I sensed a vague but familiar affinity to something great and enormously calm. I could never track it down or identify it inside me, and this time it remained shapeless as well. I felt this affinity intensely, though I couldn't see more than reddish distant mountains, motionless glaciers and clouds silently coming up the valleys."
--Voytek Kurtyka

hrebendorf,

The pure wind lifts the thousand grasses,
On the summit a wooden lion is sleeping.

What is it really like without allusiveness?

A paper sack sails through the clouds singing.
The rain is thoroughly wet!

Lux,

In the midst of a vast, open field, a single blade grows
It has no flower, and its leaves are unidentifiable
And yet, it must have a name.

When your bones collapse and your skull splits open
And everything you know as your Self pours out
Still, there is something there.

Good post, bunnkitty.

Good question.

Cricket, you rock.

It is more worthy to leap in ourselves
Than tarry till they push us."

Create reality has been guiding mantra for at least the last 20 years. So does that mean I am a Buddhist? Great post and recommended for mind-expanding potential.

You are a Buddhist, my friend. We all are in the end.

"In the Beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth, and the Earth was without form and Void."

When the fuck did THAT change?

Believe what you want. It won't restore your faith in Obama.

The mind of the past is ungraspable;
the mind of the future is ungraspable;
the mind of the present is ungraspable.

But the tail of a little green demosaur is graspable at any time. *:o)

I want to believe you were on something when you wrote that, bunnykat...

But I don't actually think that was the case :)

I was on something: I had just polished off a gallon of fuck this and smoked a bong load of I'm outta here.

Sometimes debugging is worth the effort. Other times, the best approach is to hit Ctrl+A and punch the Delete key.

I still think the tree frog is happier outside. Even a god's mind can't keep the feet from jumping into the wrong place while in physical form. If so, other minds with thoughts of like should help to return the truth to the truthsayer's lair.

I'm sorry I mentioned the tree frog. The tree frog and you were each and in combination precisely where you needed to be at precisely the right point in time. I should have left my personal biases out of it.

By the way, that was a sincere apology. Our job is absolution--not condemnation.

God's mind is abstract. There is no wrong place. There is no right place. In imperfection, there is perfection. In perfection, there is imperfection. Always, always, the Mind of God is there.
