It's the incorrect interpretation given to that God from (bless their hearts) simple, primitive,
savage, fearful minds...minds that were afraid of some 'thing' they thought they
could appease by throwing virgins into volcanoes or killing little sweet animals.
It
still it does not make it worth our attention...sorry...it's a wise person
that will not waste time on it, but rather search on his own for a personal answer...inside.
exactly Miss. I say this in terms of 'policing your/my own first". They do not understan that 'inside yourself" is inside of us all.
It IS amazing and an often hard thing to break free from...the sheer force
and deep grooves in our brains or generational memories of millions
believing things, teaching things, things in writing...
Building things, spilling blood, following rituals, eating fish on Fridays for centuries and
we pop up online saying..."It ain't so..."!
We saw, something woke us up ....'Come out of the Cave and see you are looking at shadows ....
"Here'' is the real Light of Reality; we've seen it...
we want you to awaken from the untruths fed us, also...'
Paper chains become familiar and safe.
It's ok...all in good time.
no worries Hep. We will create the next life form in less than 200 years. But as you know already, we didn't create nor were we created. Like Jesus did, we have to use words that point the way towards, as you say, that opening that makes us squint until we can adjust. You are right again; in due time. Like a child eyes do adjust in the morning light. It hurts at first, so I offer a shoulder to tuck into until they are ready. lmao, in my youth, in my arrogance really, I shouted "just open your eyes!!!" no I look back at how foolish I was. I not only hurt their eyes, I hurt their ears, and everything else. Silly, stupid, me.

No, not arrogance, my friend, it was
1. spontaneous enthusiasm
2. the wonder of discovery
3. the inborn, natural wanting to share...and help...reach into the sinking sandpit.

''Sharing'' is the cause of this Whole Thing.
While true, Arach has a point. Sometimes mere enthusiasm triggers a sort of defense mechanism. I have to learn how to approach those who are not obviously locked into such a posture in a supportive way.
