How do you know when you are reading the Bible

that you are, in fact, reading the Bible? It's all very well to say that the Word of God is Inspired, so it must be Right. But maybe not: Inspiration I have no argument with, but I know also that the Light of true Inspiration comes to a writer's fingertips through layers of filters and Parts (as mentioned also in previous posts in this place) that distort and obscure and cast long shadows... What comes out the other side may resemble what came in, but maybe not so much. I've mentioned this... Sign in to see full entry.

Financially secure Mediums are rare, even when their work is well-done...

To continue yesterday's discussion... One of the things we can all do, is to sense when we are being lied to. Obviously, it is a field left fallow in our culture: we believe--a taught belief layered upon us by generations of autority telling us we can't know what's good or best or true for us, that God does not speak to each of us, that we are, in fact, gullible nitwits, " but trust us because we are your leaders, your doctors, your priests..." We believe we are not able, not supposed to be able... Sign in to see full entry.

Finding a Happy Medium

Psychics! Channelers! Spell-casters! Readers of Auras and Speakers to the Dead! I'm as resentful and defensive as anyone about being made to look a fool, but frankly, I'm more wary of MDs and politicians when it comes to paying good money for misinformation and outright lies. Paying for being led astray--not just the financial cost, but the emotional, too: The cost of disappointment. Of hearing the world sniggering as you pass through the marketplace... Every time we take the pill the doctor... Sign in to see full entry.

Gods, God and Thought-forms

Remember those three concentric circles of Conscious / Unconscious / Higher Conscious? That they also represent Physical / Astral / Spiritual planes, or levels of Reality? Or Manifest / Blueprint / Intent...? Well, I'm going back there now, to talk about contents. Specifically, this time, the content of the middle ring, the astral, the blueprint, the thought-form plane, where thoughts are real things, and thought-forms are the bodies of them. Every thing and every thought has a form in the... Sign in to see full entry.

What God Has To Be, To Be God :

This is a universe of swirling, spiraling, zigging and zagging energy: We exist in a maelstrom of flying feelings and fears, hopes, thoughts and intentions; We deal with stuff that is physical and stuff that is not, but is real all the same. We are energies: we broadcast like radio stations and receive like lightning rods! The separations we see and the distinctions we make are imaginary conveniences. Oh, and they are energy, too... Everything is energy. Everything. Everything. EVERY THING! The... Sign in to see full entry.

Parts of me are satisfied...

The laundry is folded and packed away, food has been eaten, dishwasher is running... And here I am, writing again... Parts. Each part of us that helps us process and balance our lives, is, in this model, a fragment of ourselves held in memory until called for. Each Part contains at its center, a belief along with all the evidence that proves the belief, the strategies that protect and support the belief and an alarm system to shove it into the forefront when Reality throws us a situation in...

Part of me wants to write all day, another Part insists I have something to

eat, while third part suggests I fold the laundry and clean up my odds and ends before I go to the airport to retrieve daughter and husband whose house I've been sitting and relaxing in for two weeks that goes back on the market tomorrow, and must be in Perfect Condition.... Parts, Parts and more Parts! The folding laundry Part is quite insistent, and pulls out the Guilt Card to help motivate me to listen to it. The Eating Part has my stomach rumbling along for support of its agenda. The Writing... Sign in to see full entry.

Defining Terms: The topic of Soulmates has come up...

in one of Ariala's blogs... What is a soulmate, anyway, and how we can recognize one? It seems like it should be easy, being soul mates and all, but with all the emotional filters of hopes and fears we look through at things, it isn't always a sure thing to get it right! And when we tell someone that they are our soulmate, does it mean the same thing to them as it does to us?Being another of the many concepts with a lot of popular notions attached to it, defining terms seems coldly intellectual...

A circle within a circle within a circle...

The innermost circle is "I," the conscious center of the Self. The Consciousness observes and decides. It weighs and balances the information it perceives from outside, with the influences of beliefs stored within, and makes the choices that propel us through our lives. It is the level of physical reality (from our perspective), of manifestation. So it is also the body's circle. The second circle is the "we," the unconscious thought-realm that surrounds the self. The Unconscious is the warehouse... Sign in to see full entry.

I used to believe in Old Man God, the Patriarch of Everything...

But somehow, the image didn't ring true and I kept asking, "Come on, what is God, really?" I was trying to convince my sister once, when she declared herself an atheist, that God has to exist. She was 13, I think, and I was 11. I wanted the magic of Because God wants it that way to explain all the mysteries of my world, which, at 11, were many! She had given up on the mysteries, and authority, and trusted no one but herself to see her through life. The point is, we were the offspring of a couple... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I've been asking the Universe to explain itself to me since I was about 11 years old. I asked specifically how to reconcile God with Science. Now and then, I seem to tune in on an answer. All that I write here represents not Truth, but what I believe to be true.I have my reasons, and I like to believe, my reason. ///Everything of my own words and/or pictures that I post on Blogit is copyright by CLRedding 1972-present, all rights reserved.///
