Re: Intelligence behind the universe
That is a strong argument indeed. I have had my share of conversations with atheists too, but I’ve stopped debating the existence of God. The last time I reached out to an atheist my main message was that Jesus still loves you even if you don’t return the affection. I think that is what they really ...

Re: Little Yellow Flowers
It has been awhile since I last posted here. I feel like I have had a mental block of some sort. Anyway, I’m determined to redouble my efforts, clear the block and continue sharing my experiences and help out where I can. Yesterday, when I opened my closet to get my jacket, my eyes were drawn to a r...

Re: Little Yellow Flowers
Yes, the little yellow flowers are dwindling in numbers these days. However, I did spot a few buttercups the other day. Due to the marine climate of my region we experience mild autumns. With the exception of the occasional rogue hurricane, I really enjoy the fall of the year. I find the cool, crisp...

Re: Adopted child syndrome
Hi Gjambor, I was sorry to hear that your son is having these troubles. I have an 18 year-old son myself, so I know the challenges of parenthood. Your son seems to have been given an unfortunate start in life, and there are many more like him. I really hope you are able to help him forge a normal an...

Re: It's More Powerful Than Anything Else — David Icke
I think praying for God to enter someone’s heart is a very compassionate thing to do. I have prayed for the spiritual progress of many people I know. My hope is that someday they will be able to cash in on these prayers. I remember reading a celestial message about this which said that these prayers...

Hi Eric, Yes, the love of money is certainly prevalent here. I guess we all have greed to some degree, but it’s really sad to see it at extreme levels. Especially when other life forms have to suffer because of it. I wonder what it will take to wake up this world. Time will tell. I loved your story ...

Re: The Double Light Slit Experiment
I've done some more thinking on this topic. I have been trying to explain how the act of observing which slit the electron passed through affected the experiment. It does appear to defy reality. But then I remembered that our own thoughts have physicality, so our own consciousness could be another v...

Re: Little Yellow Flowers

Its funny how our eyes are drawn to certain things. I know they are just wildflowers, but they are still beautiful. The dandelion is ...

Hey Jason, You are more than welcome to add me on Facebook. My research into aliens actually started when I was 21 after I saw a UFO. I found a document online that described a lot of different types of aliens and spacecrafts. It even had a picture of one similar to the one I saw, which was triangul...

Hi Kim, I really like those Bible quotes. Bring on the inheritance! I don't hesitate to use the words of the Bible when conversing with some of our less evolved brothers and sisters. I know there is truth in the Bible too. It is sad that many Christians reject the Urantia Book without even reading i...

Hi Jason, Your post made me recall my spiritual beginnings. I was 23 when I first woke to spiritual realities. I quickly fell into fanaticism.

Im glad you found my words useful, Sandy. Fear has kept me back from many things as well. Especially in the social arena. I’ve been plagued by shyness for much of my life. You bring up a good point about the challenges of the Paradise ascent. But even if we fail to attain the Father, we still get to...

Re: How to filter "noise" on Facebook
Hi Jason, Your post brings to mind a few words from the Master, "And be not weary in this well-doing but persevere as one who has been ordained by God for this service of love." (192:2.9) It's easy to get discouraged when we don't see progress. Perhaps a silver lining in this is that it al...

Thanks Sandy! I’ve given more thought to this whole ‘making waves’ thing. Last fall, I did a university course called Contemporary Alternative Spirituality.
