Re: Cultural obsession with Internet and Devices

Hi Sandy.

I'm kind of jealous that I don't have a landline. I'm totally dependent on an irradiating device. Not so good for my brain hey, especially on long chats.

God willing I won't get brain cancer. Perhaps I should keep use to short chats and swap ears.

Regards,
Dylan

Re: About not give advice unless asked

The author of the Wingmakers materials has a whole paper titled 'The Art of the Genuine'. This is worthy of consideration: what is genuineness, and where does it come from? This paper seems to suggest it filters down from having an open and centred heart. Divine Love expresses itself as valuable hea...

Re: About not give advice unless asked

What do people think about the difference between having a pre-planned answer or sermon for an individual, and opening the gates of the spirit-heart and allowing something original and natural in design to emerge?

Re: Please don't believe in God

Isn't life an adventure. When living faith really kicks in, look out! I guess one of the most curious things is when our living faith allows us to do something we didn't think we could.

I agree Jose. Again, does it come out in conversation? or is it starkly a lecture without their permission?

A second point: My personal opinion and experience is that the God-fragment consciousness (as described in the Urantia Book) is the most delightful experience on earth. :D

Re: Please don't believe in God

Hi Brett. I'd like some fleshing out of sources of these claims. Regards, Dylan. My personal opinion is believe whatever works for you. You just have to be very honest about whether it's working or not. Unfortunately organized religions must examine the group, and this can be difficult, without conf...

Re: About not give advice unless asked

Dear Jose

Even if you don't have an opportunity to give 'words of Truth', you always have the opportunity to give loving heart energy. And this will always be of some assistance.

If it is pure enough, like Jesus, then it will resonate new places within them. Love always aids.

Take care,
Dylan

Re: About not give advice unless asked

Dear Jose (I think) I think it is about reading subtle cues and hints that the person is receptive and ready to receive your help. There might be a few conditions for this, for instance they are feeling safe, and ready to have a discussion. Advice and chatting are different things. If it is a free f...

Re: negative thoughts towards someone

Hi All What I've noticed at my work place is that a there is always a time when one of us is being blamed or complained about - no one is left out - and this is usually done behind their back, in a comment like 'f-ing him or f-ing her', I'm sure I've been the focus before. This is an example of the ...

Re: trying to quit

Thanks Eric. I tend to find alcohol leads me spiritually downhill. It doesn't add much at all. Re: the herd mentality. I tend to find the greatest form of resistance to change is loneliness, which means spending time with friends rather than prioritizing my spiritual work. I guess that would be chan...

Re: trying to quit

Dear Eric. I resonate totally with your situation, and have a few similiar issues. One suggestion is to call upon our God-fragment, Divine Mother and Divine Father whenever we are bothered by a particular temptation, to strengthen us spiritually to choose better. Easier said than done, but faith may...

Re: A call out maybe..

Dear Joebenz I was once in a deep state of constant negativity, that didn't seem to lift, no matter what I tried. Change only started occurring within me when I began to devote a daily time to meditation (at least an hour/day), calling upon the Divine Father (Christ Michael) and the Divine Mother (N...

Re: On Truth

Thanks Welles! You said it more simply than me. I love the 'spiritual integration factor' idea. It's a bit hard to explain that one to the atheist, but I guess they should be able to see it at work in the fragrant individual. I think the 'spiritual integration factor' gives us the cosmic assurance o...

Dear Ones I posted this to my friend, and realised it represents my life work, in understanding truth, more the truth predicament, humans find themselves in, and a bit on the stagnation of organised religion, maybe even of some in the Urantia Movement. I hope that it is enlightening for you. God ble...

Re: The Razor of Love

Hi Sandy. I guess my line of logic was something like: If a perfect and divine mind was responsible for designing REALITY (designing LIFE) then we can really assume that it was put together with the highest good of all in mind; God could not do anything less. Figuring out what the details of existen...

The Razor of Love

Occam's Razor: The simplest explanation is the most likely.

The Razor of Love: The most meaningful and valuable reality is the most likely.

Is this really possible? Or perhaps is it inevitable?

I see God as a Creator-essence, that is essentially limitless, that sees all, knows all, and loves all. As someone who has betrayed God in parts of my life, I can understand God may be frustrated by some of our fickle decisions. But then God's patience and forgiveness are supreme. If there is a way ...
