Our Origins

I thought I would have some fun and disagree with the hype which came with this on my facebook feed. It was a picture of eyes and phenomena within outer space which looked similar, followed by a quote by Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that c...

Re: The Burden of Honor

Thanks, those were my very thoughts. Honor on this planet has so far been an affair of imperfect human values. As we ascend to a worldwide society of Light and Life, honor will hold new meaning. Honor exists on high, but I feel it is an entirely different sort than what we have here. It is perfected...

The Burden of Honor

Recent events have made me curious about honor. It seems like something humans constantly strive to receive or protect, but what is honor? Paraphrasing from Wikipedia: “Honor is an abstract concept entailing a perceived quality of worthiness and respectability that affects both the social standing a...

Morontia Mota

It has been a continuous thought exercise of mine to think about how I would best describe morontia if I were to experience it. The UB states that comparing this form of reality with ours is extremely difficult because of how limited this language is along with the human mind, but I think there may ...

Re: Have you had your cool 11 prompt today?

I actually got a malted milkshake, but didn't feel up to shaved ice (I was a little carsick for some reason). There is this great place close by with 100 flavors for shaved ice. It's amazing.

Re: Have you had your cool 11 prompt today?

Story time. Today my dad's car had some sort of computer malfunction right before we entered the driveway coming home. This was the absolute best time for this to occur. It did not happen while we were on the road, stranding us. Our trip was long enough that this happened when it did. Since it occur...

Re: My story....AND my FEAR

Welcome to the forum. :hithere I don't want to overload you with information, so I'll keep the response brief.

Re: Finally Published

I've gotten farther with part 4, about 10 pages of material. So far, the beginning is the first section of Nezbaerth's archives which he wrote as a young adult. It goes into detail about all 5 continents, such as the landscape, its history and the culture of the people. For each of the large regions...

Re: Finally Published

Book 3 already has another update coming up. An addition that better describes the attributes of the two gods, who they were and what they represent. Not all of this was clear from the first poem, so it is being explained in great detail. The outline for Part 4 is nearing completion. The plot device...

It doesn't cost anything to update the eBook once you own it, but I don't remember if the update is manual or if it happens automatically.

Man, I wish I could post portions of the book here, I just got the new addition to the appendices done. It is almost half a page in Word and talks about the Permaforge of Keilrunni (name changed from Keilruuni). I'll update the book tomorrow.

Re: Finally Published

When you buy books, they should download to the kindle automatically. I've never run into any problems (although you might have an older version). You can just download them all again for free today (although I don't know what time the sale starts).

Re: Enlightenment

I think it would make a lot more sense if they were moving through traveling objects. I can see how this would be possible if someone started standing in one spot at 3:00 before moving again and the midwayer moved through the person at their time of 2:55, because even in the physical world that pers...

Re: Enlightenment

I get that when objects move at different speeds, they age at different rates. But this seems more complicated than that. I wonder what happened at 2:55PM of the spider's time.

Re: Enlightenment

Interesting, thanks George! I guess none of us will completely understand it until we can comprehend the morontia state itself after reviving on Mansonia. Although I find it understandable that there is a gap between the spiritual and the physical that needs to be filled, I have little idea how this...

Re: Enlightenment

I am under the impression that our more physical mind is a loan from Nebadonia, supported by the adjutant mind-spirits. I don't know if the brain simply connects to it, sets it up or has the mind installed into it. Maybe it's a mix of all three. If our minds upgrade through morontia blending, couldn...

I came to the realization that the idea of enlightenment is flawed. There is no real "enlightened" state since our knowledge and wisdom rarely stops growing. We can only become more enlightened than we were before, but there is no end state involved. This is tied into our goal for gradual ...
