I think you're punching a tar-baby. Probably....I had a few minutes to kill though ;-) I hear you. I rubbed one out a few minutes ago too.

So, Steve, when is the right time to specify a Will? After you're dead? If Freejoy is inspired to look into setting up a Will, is that not the obvious thing to do in this moment? It's an act of caring for loved ones to specify how your estate is to be processed in the event of your own death. My son starts kindergarten in the fall. If I don't enroll him now, he won't be admitted to the school. Taking care of logistics for a probable future is a very appropriate activity in the present. are you familiar with the freejoy/tathagata connection? freejoy was a star pupil horse stancer as I recall I have a sneaking suspicion that Steve IS freejoy.

Top's assertion that steve bit freejoy's hook (twice!) would take on a whole new meaning. hehe

The tar baby is you clinging to your borderline pathological imaginations of "enlightenment" and "enlightened people".

Does that mean I'm breaking through the hypnosis of social conditioning?

No, it means that you are mired in your own conditioning of past experiences that distort your view of whats in front of you right now, in this moment.

It seems to me God has to have some fully functional people in this world.

I can't know God's intent but can't I align my life to God's Qualities? Doesn't God have certain qualities because good and evil exist?

Doesn't God have certain qualities because good and evil exist? How can you know; with any surety", what God's qualities are? Certainly you can pick human characteristics that you admire and try to personify them onto you idea of God, but isn't that a kind of idolatry? How can you truly know anything about God's "qualities"?

If you can find something that has more of God's qualities than anything else let me know please, we can make a business out of selling it and grow really really rich ;-) ohh wait....thats kinda been done huh? "Lift a stone and I am there, Split a piece of wood and I am there" What do you think that means Freejoy?

I guess one can't know the qualities of God unless one experience them. That is the value of spiritual text. Pointers like love would be a quality. It's like love is a more rarefied frequency, hate more dense. One must become more rarefied.

"By their fruit you will know them" ~ Jesus First they wouldn't be greedy because they would only be being greedy to themselves if we are all one. So that eliminate Ehart Telle. Sorry ...not really. Most likely one can safely say that people like Charles Manson isn't expressing God qualities. I sometimes look at opposites. Like for example, like giving the crippled a wheel chair or a homeless person some need. If instead of giving them something a person takes something away. One could give resources or take them away. Greedy people, ones with intentions to harm, people who hurt children these types of people have bad fruits. "For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time." ~ Jesus
