The quest for Wisdom has been driving all of us mad for centuries but I was thinking a bit about this and wondering why our Lord would wait until now to save us. Perhaps because it is finally time to stop it and He has found a way.

I wonder what dreams shall be dreamed by our people in the years to come.

To good dreams...

The only true god there is, is Love in the intention of design, unless you consider aliens to be gods? Man creates his own gods though, that is where things went wrong.

I've been there and returned twice, I had no set belief at all until I died, I was agnostic; I was brought up in the old ways taught and schooled in the ways of the Goddess. Now I know better, but I do know too that there is no male patriarchal god sitting over or in judgement of us. And one of the reasons I was returned was to help spread the truth. There is Love, an all encompassing, unconditional caring and absolute Love, but there is no male god there to administer it. We are the ones who are supposed to administer it in this life and the next.

Yes there are ascended ones like the man Jesus who came to reach us and teach us that Love is the king and Queen. Love is in perfect balance and brings with it a sense of right, peace and joy; it does not place one person above another or a man over a woman in intelligence or ability. When we feel it we are not experiencing a man, a woman, a god or a goddess, we are experiencing love itself.

It is Love itself that saves us, Love for ourselves and our fellow human beings and animals. The Great Secret that religion would not allow us to know is a simple and caring truth called unconditional love and caring for each other. To practice it, teach it and live it. And to pay it the respect and reverence it deserves; not to bow on bended knee before a non-existent man sitting on a throne of clouds and gold.

To weed out those who wage war for their own gain, or those who would take for granted the animals roaming the earth and profit from the misery of both. When we have learned to live in love and not greed, love not anger, love not war, we have saved ourselves and that is the aim.

I really like your approach on this.

Being born and raised Catholic, I can assure you that religion never made any sense to me, i.e; (as you've said), a man on a throne up in the clouds looking down upon us, (and that's just one tiny aspect of the whole unrealistic spectrum).

I'm a firm believer of the superior energy which fuels & leads us. And absolutely, Love can very well be that exact energy itself.

Yes. To good dreams....

They say (by what I've read) we are somewhere around 20,000yrs for our early days of civilization.Ahh the early days where men where men and women smelled like men.
Think about it 20,000yrs we have had writings almost as old that tell us god is love and love is everything and that the way to everlasting fulfillment is through love.OK so we have all these writings that say the same thing and what do we do.We fight over what ????? God is Love and Love is Everything and the way to everlasting fulfillment is through love????and we have done this for as recorded at least 10.000yrs I wounder if after we get this message cleared up we will take on more complex issues and wage wars over questions like "How deep is space"or "do you want fries with that"................................and as the books of old tell us verse by verse man is and always will be the most stupid thing god has ever created
