    peakin - I thought that this topic was a place to exchange thoughts on spiritual matters and to be open ended and not shut other people down when they speak their mind and hearts. I feel that going "yawn" to other people's spiritual matters is arrogant and not very compassionate and is closed minded. Which is why I for one have had trouble with Christianity over the years. The refusal by many (not all) Christians to respect the beliefs of others. I am not saying that there are not many amazing Christians, what I am saying is there is often a lack of tolerance that I really don't feel is very loving. I will say that many of the most amazing activists I have met in the peace movement are Christians so obviously there are many that are moved by the love they find within the religion and in Christ. Well I guess this may stir up the pot a bit. Peace and love and oneness with others including other forms of life is where it is at for me. I think there are many different paths on the spiritual journey. . If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

    perhaps you all could tell me where and when and by whom these gnostic gospels were written. All I know is that before I became a friend of Jesus I had a lot of hate in my heart, now I have none.

Is really very interesting reading!!!!!!!!!********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

    Religion
    At one time and for most of my life I was a christian and was active in a church. I went through periods where I would party and periods when I was straight. I loved Robert Schueller and the positive message his ministery preached. I began to study biblical history and archelogy. The discrepancies in the 4 gospels of the new testament began to bother me. I studied even more and as painful as it was at the time I decided to follow the truth ( or at least as I have studied and determined it to be) I still believe in God however not a Jesus the christ centered religion. It doesn't mean I don't believe Jesus never lived-(his name was Joshua though) he did.He said some things that were wonderful and said some things that weren't so wonderful. He was one of many messaniac figures in that region at the time of the Roman occupation. My dilemma is how am I supposed to live a belief system when I can't? I am not willing to throw away all of my possessions as Jesus asked his followers to. I think it is almost criminal to expect to live off the charity of others if I am able to provide for myself. I am not willing to forgive everyone who has wronged me. I may let go of the anger over an incident however if someone has committed a serious crime against myself or a loved one I want to see that person apprehended and punished according to the law. I look at what religions spend on the trappings of bureacracy and buildings and wonder if that is really Jesus or Moses or Muhammed really wanted. To me there are universal truths that belong to all human kind. All can be found in the writings of the different religions and other philosophies. I do know that sometimes when I am totally wrapped in a great GD Jam I feel really connected to humanity. Its odd I have never experienced that with any other type of music. And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

    Any church that would kick you out for smoking weed isn't a church to be in anyways. Those who judge and shun others are just decieving themselves. Keep the faith!

    I believe but....
    I do believe in Jesus, and am very torn about the fact that most Christians would expel me from a church if they new that I smoked weed and like to take a walk with Cid once in a while. I have trouble finding churches that go by scripture and still smoke weed. There is now where in the Bible that does not say you cant smoke weed... well I hope to find that church that smokes and believes. lol heck i may go Rastafari.. JJ but do have much love for them.. peace and love.

Purely spiritual, when talking about REAL Love. ~ Pappy "Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right." - Robert Hunter

Love whether of the romantic type or universal love obviously has physiological characteristics, involving the chemicals (listed here from Wikipedia article on Love-Scientific Views) nerve growth factor, testosterone, estrogen, dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, and vasopressin. You smile when you see a picture of Jerry, a conditioned response of love as when you hear the music play. It brought you pleasure in the past and this builds upon itself. Chemicals involved with pleasure are released. Sound is material. Vision is material. Love has many material components. The brain and the body and love are not separate. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

I believe it is purely spiritual. Its EFFECTS, on the other hand, are most undoubtedly material. But love - itself - is spiritual and to truly feel someone's love (and have it create the same physiological responses you describe) - you'd have to be in touch spiritually....again - this is all MY opinon...what the heck do I know?! ;) ~ Pappy www.theCAUSEjams.com "Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right." - Robert Hunter

ben, your questions: Ben said: "1. Where did we come from? 2. Why are we here? 3. How do we live while we're here? 4. Where are we going when we die?" {note the capricious use of quotes -- yuk yuk yuk ( -; } 1. wherever one believes they came from 2. to listen to and enjoy grateful dead music. to be who we are and become who we want to be. 3. as we choose to live 4. whrever one believes they will go when they die question 4 kind of pre-supposes that one must believe in 'death' to begin with... believe in life, the rest will follow, but not neccessarilly death, if you see my point. love and peace.

Here's the Grateful Dead's lyrics referencing love, at least those that I could think of...I'm sure there's more. Most of the cats you meet on the street speak of true LOVE If this is LOVE then how would I know? I LOVE you more than words can tell How sweet it is to be LOVED by you You brighten up all my days with your LOVE so sweet in so many ways My, how LOVELY you are a LOVE that’s real, not fade away Let me LOVE you without ending It’s alright cause I LOVE you and that’s not gonna change I would LOVE you even if you flew away from me Sake of my baby I’d die for LOVE If I was a bottle I’d spill for LOVE Never give your LOVE my friend unto a foolish heart Without LOVE day to day, insanity’s king Good LOVIN’ Jesus LOVES you the best LOVE songs written in the letters of your name LOVE is stronger than my fear of death LOVE is strong and it pushes me onwards Tell me LOVE is not lost Turn on your LOVELIGHT, let it shine Deep sea of LOVE You’ve got an empty cup only LOVE can fill LOVE will see you through To learn and LOVE and grow I've got an entire page on my site devoted to Love, including Grateful Dead lyrics about love woven in with Jesus' teachings on love. http://greateststoryevertold.org/jesus_loves_you.html Love, Ben Jesus Loves You The Best! greateststoryevertold.org

as i sat down in my normal pew this morning at mass, trying to compose myself and collect my thoughts amidst my worry and fear, i was approached by a man in the pew to my left. he was wondering if i had a couple dollars to spare, and that he would pay me back monday(???). having been hit on by junkie after junkie and seeing the very same people explode with anger when offered food instead of cash, and being unemployed and a bit desperate, my first response was "hey, sorry...i'm out of work myself". i didn't tell him outright no, i don't like being rude, but he slid away. looking at him out of the corner of my eye i could see he was clean, but wearing clothing that obviously didn't fit....worn out shoes, too small sweats, too large shirt, a little down on his luck but at least keeping himself somewhat presentable. my next thought was "man....how can you bother people in church like that". moments later a feeling of shame swept over me, my eyes are filling with tears now as i remember thinking "john....you asshole...where else should someone turn when in need?" after all, havent i been praying hard everyday and hasn't the lord helped me everytime i've needed it over the last year?... everytime!.... the bible says...ask and ye shall receive. i had a few bucks in my pocket as have been selling a few possessions trying to get by so i pulled out a 5 and when it came time to wish each other a sign of peace prior to communion i slipped it into his hand, after all, but for the grace of god, there go I. the man thanked me and said he would be seeing me again. we are taught to share as children.....how soon we forget. may god forgive me for being a dick, i've been so worried about my own problems i sometimes forget there are others worse off then me. can i afford to give up that much money? no....i can feed my kid on that, one meal at least but we all hafta help each other. please forgive me for taking up so much space here....i just had to get this off my chest.........

Johnman, that was the Spirit of God speaking to your heart, working in your life, to meet the need of a brother. Awesome! Giving of yourself, your time, and your resources to others and following the leading of the Sprit of God is wonderful. That man was poor and needy and God was thinking about him, and used you to help him. I read this Psalm: "As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord is thinking about me right now" (Psalm 40:17) May we all have the peace that surpasses understanding, Ben Jesus Loves You The Best! greateststoryevertold.org

it's cool to have strong faith in God, (whichever form of 'god' or religion you choose or not.) it is also really important, to remember that God has strong faith in you. for johnman and now, Tiger Lilly, and to everyone else out there who needs 'help' in one way or another: please keep your faith in yourself strong, too. love and peace.

Spirituality comes from within, if you cannot love yourself and want to live in your own skin and bones than nobody else wants to! Everyone has a belief of who "God" is and what he/she may look like. The truth I believe to be true is this "God" is whatever peace you may need at the time. "God" is comfort, a hug, a flower, a favorite song, a candle, whatever the feeling one obtains at the time to feel comfort and love is "God".

Lately I've been a little down and I must thank you guys for this forum and positive vibes for folks in need.If you grow vegetables check out www.ronnigers.com. They are a family that grows many varieties of potatoes in Idaho/really amazing. If you ever can find Japanese yams(a rich purple sweet potato without that beta carotine taste) they are also cool.

and it is so uplifting to see where this has come. flower kid 71 I agree with you when you say that God comes from within sometimes in a material form, and other times through comforting thoughts. No matter what you believe, you can always find peace. Johnman, thank you for sharing your inspiring story. It is a situation that I face daily as well and one that I have easily come to ignore. At the same time I feel like I want to help. Maybe next time I won't be so selfish. Thank you for sharing. TL I wish you the very best and we are all thinking of you and sending our daily dose of positive vibes your way. Love is indeed the answer so... Peace and Love to all. It is such a pleasure to come back to this forum and find these beautiful words meant for one another. It just goes to show that no matter what our personal differences are we are all the same. Thank you, ~littlebri

If I speak in human or angelic tongues but do not have love I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to hardship, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient Love is kind Love does not envy Love is not proud Love does not dishounor others Love is not self seeking Love is slow to anger Love keeps no record of wrongs Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth Love protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres Love never fails.

..1 Corinthians 13, inspired by the Living God, and written by the Apostle Paul to the Church of Corinth. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (nlt) 1 If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn't love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what good would I be? And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, without love I would be no good to anybody. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would be of no value whatsoever. 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. 6 It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 8 Love will last forever, but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will all disappear. 9 Now we know only a little, and even the gift of prophecy reveals little! 10 But when the end comes, these special gifts will all disappear. 11 It's like this: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now. 13 There are three things that will endure-faith, hope, and love-and the greatest of these is love. Love, the more excellent way! Blessings, Ben Jesus Loves You The Best! greateststoryevertold.org

God is patientGod is kind God does not envy God is not proud God does not dishounor others God is not self seeking God is slow to anger God keeps no record of wrongs God does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth God protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres God never fails. Being the person that kind of sparked this topic I read this Corinthians passage a little differently to the youth of my parish I keep telling them that their path has all ready been chosen ahead of time but Gods hand is dealing the cards and helping them along the way As for adults; God gives us issues and bad breaks because he knows we can handle it. He provide us with knowledge or the capabilites to make sure that we see through it. I guess you just have to believe in your faith and he acts upon it to see you through. I know from experience because I have felt his hand in my times of need I will pray for those in need May God's blessings be on all of you The Cat

please check the topic header again. There are plenty of God's followers in this topic and whereas your larger point is well understood and commonly made, you couch it in terms that demonize all believers. Please don't do that. Thank you.

The definition of "Demonize" is "To cast someone or something as a source or agent of evil, harm, distress or ruin." I don't think quoting a slogan off a bumpersticker with the fairly innocuous words I used as "demonizing". Actually, it's more of a poke at organized religion and the fanatics who fund it and totally embrace the dogma and the various splinter groups that come from that dogma I think you're being a bit over-the-top in characterizing my post as demonizing. But I support your right to express your opinion in this or any other forum, as long as the language used has some sense of decorum.

you don't think calling a group of people "fanatic" is a bit over the top?...i was under the impression that this particular forum was here so people could express their religious views in relative safety, as long as they don't insult the view of others, without being labeled. so , i would think, "poking" as it were, doesn't belong here.....of course, if that is your religious view, i have to support your right to it......
