Like when people teach about something, then that something happens, you might be inclined to believe that the something is what they said, even if it is something completely different.

You were conditioned to believe that the bliss was from the holy spirit, rather than it necessarily being the holy spirit.

A buddhist for example might think it was a taste of enlightenment, or a Hindu might think it is ananda.

So who would be right?

Does it provide actual evidence, or were you conditioned previously to believe it?




Honestly, I see where your coming from one hundred percent.
But the thing is, this "feeling" the holy spirit(idk how to describe it really..) is the thing that makes me believe it was the holy spirit. Part of he trinity.

But here are some things that might help me show you some other reasons you might find more believable or valid.

-I was reading the Bible, not some other book when this happened first of all. Now if i was to get enlightened and it wasn't the holy spirit, why would it happen when I'm reading the Bible if it wasn't true?

Also, the circumstance I was in... I had really been struggling about what is TRUTH. I NEED to know truth. I was beginning to think Christianity was wrong, maybe even taboo. If God is so wonderful, why does He feel so distant? Why does it seem as if He's keeping Himself hidden? Maybe Buddhists are right?  I had so many doubts.  I had been a christian since a young age because thats what my mother and school taught me, but it has never been real to me until now.

Lastly, the passages I was reading. They were about not losing faith and now believing false teachings and other things that i REALLY really needed to hear.




In conclusion, I suggest, no matter what your faith or belief is, you should read the Bible with an open mind. You might find out some things or experience something you didn't think you would. I suggest reading the book of Hebrews at some point.

I would like to share with you a story from the Lost Book of Jaina. This book has been seen by very few people, and even fewer are those with the privilege to read it. It was excluded from the bible when it was put together, because the men in power felt that women were to be subservient and they wanted to hide it away, to protect their beliefs that women were to be inferior and subservient to men. By hiding this book, they robbed the women of their power, and remained in control of the church. I have to recite this from memory because the book is put away in a safe place under lock and key.

Two millennia from the date this book is written, there is to be born a woman, so firm in her faith, that heaven and earth will open up for her. The devil will tempt her and try to persuade her to change her ways by questioning her faith, much like he did to Jesus. She will resist Satan because the armor of god that she dawns is impenetrable by evil, and when God see's her unwavering faith, determination, will and courage to follow in the path of Jesus, he will come and take her, like  Enoch and Elijah she will go to heaven without ever dying, to be one of god's supreme angels.

The Supreme Angel, instructed by god come back to earth and begins to banish the evil, for in her light no evil can hold sway, it is through her power alone that can save the earth and its inhabitants from evil. She spends years banaishing all the evil on this earth and then is instructed back to heaven as the way has been prepared for god.

Then she will come back to earth and trumpet the final coming of god in her infinite grace, we will all be blessed. All the good souls of earth will be collected by god and his supreme angels to be taken to heaven and live happily ever after.

(It is really a much longer story and goes into the battles and details about how the devil tried to change the woman's mind, but the summary above tells the basic idea and I can't tell you all the details because of a promise that was made.)




What if it was you doing it all along, and god is within you, as pure love?

Yeah,  the first point of the (but I think it could also be considered the second) functional channel of the energy body, it's where compassion and empathy stems from.

That looks like another mushroom to me, and it doesn't at all look like an Amanita to me, I have never seen multiple amanita growing from the the same stipe like that.

Also, there are bushes identified in the bible, and bushes/shrubs are under 10 ft. where as tree's are over 10 feet. (recall the burning bush?)

That mushroom is about the same size as a person.

What gives you the idea it is referencing any tree, let alone the tree of life? Did someone tell you that and you believed them? Also where is the reference in the picture to Satan, or the forbidden fruit?




This fresco depicts the "shining one" with a spherical fruit in its mouth, on a dotted mushroom, most likely the depiction of Amanita muscaria, which has long been associated with altered states of consciousness. Other Christian archeological finds indicate that early Christians did use A. muscaria in their rituals, first feeding them to snails to detoxify them, then eating the snails.  http://distelrath.tripod.com/fabbro.htm
The very same Genesis account can be read completely differently, from the perspective of the "shining one" whom we have come to translate 'serpent' in English. The serpent stole the 'herb of immortality' in the Gilgamesh Epic from which elements of Genesis were adapted. The Hebrew Leviathan, or serpent of primeval chaos (the "waters of the deep") is something of God's Shadow. In other words, God, which is beyond good and evil, has various faces. The serpent tells the woman Eve that she will NOT die if she eats "the fruit of knowledge of good and evil" and she does NOT die.

The Gnostics portray the 'wise' serpent as a liberating aspect of the True God, not the Demiurgic Deity (William Blake's old Nobodaddy) who has trapped some of his breath in the dust of our primal parents. The serpent (portrayed as a crucified serpent by some Gnostics, after the brazen serpent that Moses held up to cure the heavy-metal poisoned Hebrews after they were made to drink a potion from the golden calf), gives liberating knowledge (Gnosis), and is not the deceiver. The Demiurgic Creator is seen as the enemy who trapped Spirit in matter (Adam means earth in Hebrew), and the serpent symbolizes wisdom ("Be ye therefore as wise as serpents and harmless as doves." - Matthew 10:16), not evil. Symbols are never fixed meanings, their values depend upon context, and only one context has been repeated in mainstream Christianity. Jews have never believed in inherited evil and radical depravity as the Augustinian doctrine of Original Sin insists.

There is no mention of God's angels Satan or Lucifer in Genesis. "The shining one" was correlated with the Greek Phosphorus, or the Latin Lucifer, both of which mean 'light-bearer.' You are repeating Christian programming, not the actual scriptures which have been variously interpreted:  "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made
. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" - Genesis 3:1. The banishment from the Garden (garden, PRDS, in Hebrew, from which we get 'paradise,' a metaphor for blissful unconsciousness) resulted in work and sweat and travail in childbirth, but death was not one of those promised consequences despite the Christian insistence that death was the result of eating "the fruit." Knowledge was the result of eating "the fruit," the knowledge, unlike the rest of the animals, of our mortality! Now, we knew we had to die, and we had to contend with death-anxiety. But had we not begun to develop self-consciousness (which is what the psychological meaning of banishment from the Garden, from perpetual childhood and unconsciousness), we would not have begun to evolve. Anxiety is the correlate of self-consciousness, of separateness. The goal is NOT to return to some Garden, to childish unconscious bliss. The Garden of Eden is an intrauterine metaphor, from which we must be expelled forcibly, as in our birth.

I'd like to see how you back that claim up . . .

I'm not nor was I repeating anything, I was questioning the posters claim.

(Also various interpretations leaves room for the Christian claim, doesn't it.)

I think that you should be well aware that I don't subscribe to dogma.

You can't tell someone that their perspective is wrong and then say you are keeping an open mind or can you relate to them truly.

Because there are definite things wrong with the system.
Perhaps the 'experience' that you consider God is the right food stuff or sacrament away.
Maybe that's why he is hidden.  Along comes a snake and the Gods/men said no to illumination/enlightenment.
Doubts are normal.
So after the 17 marijuanas you know christianity in a new way?  Its true for you now?  That's good news.

You should petition the gov't and proclaim that it is an authentic spiritual agent.  Even concerning x-tianity.


People knock christianity because it wasn't there for them.  They lack real experience.  The Truth is Aliens.

So, how do you explain "Thou shalt not kill" in the same book that says "If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, β€œLet us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.
-- Deuteronomy, 13, 6

The Bible is very imperfect. It has been rewritten and totally edited over the centuries. That is why St. Paul said, We would have been justified by the Law if the Law we were given had been capable of giving life,  but it is not: scripture makes no exceptions when it says that sin is master everywhere -- Galatians, 3, 21

It is my belief that it was the scriptures that Christ was referring to when he gave the parable about the evil one sowing weeds in the field over the night and he said to "separate the wheat from the chaff".

First off you said it was perfect. :haha: And secondly he only provided a couple but there are more, lots more and a simple internet search will provide them.  You've not shown your statement to be true in the least.

You could TRY but we don't have to try to argue that the Bible tells people to murder.

Love yourself,love others,love god, love all living creatures, love the planet, love nature :-)

and live in gods name

I would recommend houseplants,pets , and nature everyday(sit  in/walk in nature/gardening) , and guitar/something you love
no dark days, all days are good

btw it sounds like what is happening to you is an awakening, it is a first step in a long journey

the important thing is to ground yourself now, with nature/meditation/live in the moment, and be stress free , do what you love

peace

Ok - I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you seriously mean what you're saying.

Saying it's ok to kill someone is NOT just a "couple of sentences in a 1000 page book!!!! And it's not only saying it's ok to kill someone -- it's saying to kill them for following a different religion!!!

Do you think it's ok when "Muslims" kill someone for giving up "Islam"??? They justify this, and killing non-believers, because it's written in their literature which I'm sure is as voluminous as the Bible.

Perhaps you forgot about the Spanish Inquisition? Why do you suppose they thought it was ok to torture and kill people who they considered heathen if not because they could justify it in the Bible?

Sheesh.

More stuff like this would be constructive to the OP.
