Re: God is good... [Re: Buster_Brown]

What you've posted Buster_Brown is more inline with what the Bible says, but there is a big difference between being like and being itself. So what you've shared is closer to the Bible's teaching then the belief of some that men become God's.  The belief that men become God could be wrongly viewed as such in a general sense (which is understandable and holds some truth), but on closer inspection of the finer print (the Word of God), it's not the case.

As someone who believes in the God of the Bible, I believe that whatever I experience in Heaven only be what God gives / allows / rewards to me and everyone else based on their service / obedience to God in this life.  That no one will have any God like powers nor will we be able to go off on our own and do whatever the heaven we want to do. (that is, separate to what God has done, allowed and given to us in heaven / eternal life).

This is why I believe the statement With Jesus, God became man so man can become God, is not Biblical and therefor not true.


On a side note:
The Bible mentions that God will reward people in heaven / eternal life for the work they did for God on earth.  Without boasting, I am confident that my request to God to have every single arcade machine ever made will be ok with him.

when you were a young man
did you play the silver ball?
From Soho down to Brighton,
did you play them all?

So it is given to us to become wizards.

I suppose getting past a cramp in their style is any wizard's longing.

To be without cramps may be beyond wizardry, as with pinball and wand waving.

Perhaps the school of wizardry coaches us to compartmentalize our limitations into manageable quotients.

You'll find a sympathetic current in my hate club started over 25 years ago; a signal fire where marshmallow effigies are burned.

Fire ceremony. Change it up with some ghee, maybe some rice and sesame seed, but no need to complicate. Cow dung is best fuel. Change the club and the offering to a Gayatri for peace or something. Shakti strong in it, in the body. Meditate after. Do long time, many time over time.

Offer a bit of ghee after each mantra rep, like saying Swaha.

Interesting and likeable from what I heard of ya ,blessed, my point is we'll see God's face some day, to see God you need an eye big enough to see God, in fact you would also need a big enough 'I' to experience God too. Now what can be bigger than nothing? It fits everywhere, and has no limit. Would it not be better to be nothing instead of something? whatever that something is is impermanent, leads to suffering, and is not worthy of being identified as 'I'. And what could be this "I'? Is it's nature to go from small life to big life both during this life and than move on to bigger life in the next world too? But whatever grows bigger is not limitless. So you have to decide if this 'I' comes to an end or not, and what could it be like to be gone with this 'I' we've both grew up with? Go there, and see for yourself the Buddha says, and than you will have direct knowledge. To reach freedom from ego, I say turn off five senses, than it will be just awareness, Than turn off awareness, than it will just be nothing. Perfect peace, bliss, freedom.


Than we'll be unconditioned, purefied, 'gods on to gods' or maybe more pricely 'children of God!

I think a good image is adopted children of God.

As for this 'I' you mention, the truth is our 'I' was made by and belongs to God, so technically there really is no 'I' **  .  What I believe the God of the Bible is doing is allowing us I's to share in his Glory, Power, Might and Majesty.

To become a child of God (a gift God offers to all through Jesus), is the most blessed, awesome, excellent, most rad realities I believe that anyone can experience hands down, side to side, or even up!!


** - While I believe that technically there is no 'I', I also believe that this does not mean therefor that you are God, and I am God, everything is God ether as some believe.

Have a great weekend :thumbup:.

“Gracious one, play, the universe is an empty shell wherein your mind frolics infinitely.” - Shiva

The way the world is seen is the same as the way the body is seen. Context is body. So the space of vision.

Shiva can be rather hedonistic. I think those who say they are not are skirting - forsaking bliss only goes to its greater profundity.

Where the lessee is obliged to the lessor
To 'be-less-ed' is to be infinitely microcosmic, I presume (which may lend credence to the spectacle)
