JOHN 3:16 🙏❤️
“Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.”
Mavlana Jallaluddin Rumi
Yes we become clones
Organized religion
Beliefs that keep you from
finding your authentic self
I have been struggling with
these thoughts and ideas of being a believer
The Bible can be contradictory
and it also is interpreted by different
scholars, different interpretations who basically believe
that there is a God but it's
inexplicable
God is spirit ✨✨✨
We supposedly are made in his image, hence we too are spiritual beings
He is like an authoritarian type
in the Hebrew scriptures
He lightens up, so to speak, in the Gospel (the new covenant
of Christianity)
A loving and forgiving God is what most
Christians believe in
Another very deep and
thought provoking video☯️
👍👍
Thank for sharing 💗
The universe created humans in order for humans to create the universe.
Religion, as I define it for the purposes of this discussion, is a "regimented world view." Monotheists, polytheists, and atheists are all equally capable of being "religious" in this sense. We can leave spirituality out of this topic because religion and spirituality are not the same, and more often than not, are mutually exclusive.
good thinking mat
God knows why we do what we do,
even though we don’t realize this . He knows the truth and what lies behind are mask. Sometimes dark energy corrupts are positive energy
🆓😎 Yes, GOD'S exist
✌️👔🎙️ 33 of them to be exact…
God is not a punishing God. IT is a solid state of unconditional love.Not someone demanding one to be smitten or to be saved. ‼️💯🖖💙💙 yes.
I am a Taurus master number 11 I am the reincarnation of James Buchanan Jr are 15th president of the United States on my spiritual journey and I am the 4th horsemen of the apocalypse I was just activated humanity has lost its way time has come to seek forgiveness or be judged you have been warned for I am Death
The image and gender of God is non importance…as long as we know there is something divine and intelligent and powerful enough to govern us all.🙏🏻
God is great
Memory kindles a flame. A moment frozen in time visits me by daydream, for in the stillness of the early morning I remember an age when the cares of this life were forgotten.
When the touch of the wind stirred me, and the smell of the grass exhilarated my senses.
When the rule of gravity imperiously moved the elements, and water cascading along a mountain's precipitous decent evoked a reverence for the wonder of nature.
When the warmth of the blazing midday sun invigorated my body, and the sweet sensation of ice cream on my tongue effectuated a state of ecstasy.
A secret kingdom of a timeless quality, inhabited by souls lost in reverie, a domain unattended by words.
A place where even the fire flies dancing among the evergreens in the cool of the evening roused my curiosity, and the shadows at play under luminous moonlight gave enchanting theater.
Back when the stroke of a violin carried me to another world, and the soft caress of my mother's hand against my forehead eased my restless spirit.
When I, now an obscure perversion of my former self, was once the embodiment of an innocence untouched by human forces.
And though I may be a collection of memories past and passions long forgotten,
I still see visions of grandeur;
The perennial spirit of the Lord arduously completing its work in me.
-Joshua Serino
What was the French philosopher's name in the beginning?
Loved it❣️
I would like to share some verses of the Quran which describe God from a Muslim perspective.
Quran (2:255) “Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the All-Sustaining. Neither slumber overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them; while they grasp nothing of His knowledge, except what He wills. His Kursiyy (Chair) encompasses the Heavens and the Earth, and their preservation does not tire Him. He is the All-High, the Supreme. (2:256) Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood, so whoever renounces false gods and believes in Allah has certainly grasped the firmest, unfailing handhold. And Allah is The All-Hearing, All-Knowing”.
Chapter 112 of the Quran
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
Say: “He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah the Besought by all, needing none.
He begot no one nor was He begotten,
and never has there been to Him anyone equivalent.”
And Quran (2:186) “And when My servants ask you, concerning Me – indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.”
Nothing and everything exists simultaneously thus learn to float without getting attached to anything. You are everything and nothing so smile and learn to be a light to yourself. 🙏🏽
I’m wonderful and I wonder when science will catch up. We can stop looking for that dark matter and see the light matter. Namaste.
🙏🏻❤️ Enjoy your ride.
You are the world , imagine the world and it’s so heavy. And after you feel the heavyweight then you learn how to make the world weightless by practice your mind to stand still and you can’t feel the heavy weight anymore. I did it and I can do it. I dare you to practice it.
YOU HAVE WRITTEN TO SPONSOR????????
One of my fav talks ! ❤
Never did i ever imagine that I would be so influenced by one thinker in my life. From the first time I heard him speak from that particular video on YouTube, I knew he was different. His style was particularly different and one that I loved.
Over the years of listening to Alan Watts and comparing him to other great figures, I realize that there were some who were parallel to him in terms of (philosophical) intellect and perhaps even greater. But it was he style. He was damn right brilliant, but he didn't make a big deal of it. All he was really interested in was to share this complex mystical and religious ideas to the world through his writings in the most concise manner. No wonder he was regarded as a "bodhisattva" by Suzuki. He was a self styled "Philosophical entertainer". The Indian spiritual writer, Deepak Chopra called him a "religious POLYMATH". He was truly one of a kind. And the world still has a lot to learn from the teachings of this wise sage.

“If we cling to belief in God, we cannot likewise have faith, since faith is not clinging but letting go.” – Alan Watts
I see a new Alan Watts video on T&H, I click! 😁
She is black 🖤
Amen, Imfafamamabl darkness 🙏 can words explain? The only one that comes to my mind is peace
There is a god but it is not of The Christian bible. It's consciousness. It's all of us. You, me, the trees, the animals… all of it is creation / love itself. Its a force. Not a person and anyone who claims to be god is not god. An analogy would be GOD is the LIGHT of GOODNESS and we are all fractals of that LIGHT.
Belief in intelligent creation is not too unbelievable,. Consider everything we have or own,. All our smartphones, tablets, Xboxes and PlayStations are only SOME examples of intelligent creation. So WHY is it so hard to believe that everything has been touched by an intelligence much greater than ours??
