  11. What Level Of Responsibility Does Christianity Hold For The Dark Ages?

    in Philosophy & Theory

    Posted · Edited by Bro. Hex

    They weren't God?

    We are, all of us, each of us...God...

    The crucifier as well as the crucified... the redeemer as well as the redeemed.

    This might sound a little odd coming from me. Still, you asked.

    Most people who suffer such a death do not do so voluntarily. If someone does undertake such a death -- of his own free will -- with fully developed Christ Consciousness -- and true awareness of the interconectedness of all things.........

    Well, there would be a lot more involved in such a death than suffering.

    No, Jon, it doesn't sound funny at all "coming from you". Christ-Consciousness knows no boundaries, recognizes no labels or denominations. infuses every true pathway to divinity.

    Becomng wealthy is a very easy thing to do. All one has to do is learn how to set goals and meet them.

    Understand now, such is not taught in publlc schools, They don't want you to know.

    Who are "THEY"?

    And why are "they" plotting against us ??

    Surrender freedom, no. Serve up a lot of money in taxes, yes.

    Dan, the fact that your sister had to pay a tax on the value of the gift might be a shock to you, as you don't live in a "Value Added Tax Society".

    That has nothing to do with Socialism per se. Think of it as a different form of "sales tax" from what we use.

    Waiting 3 months for an X-Ray? What was it for? If it was for something very routine, that might be understandable.

    Drive 300 miles to get it? What part of "the boonies" does she live in? If your nearest neighbors are a moose, an elk and a raccoon, then such a drive "goes with the territory. I guarantee that if she lived in Toronto that she would not have to drive 300 miles for any medical procedure.

  19. What`s Your Favourite?

    I can't pick a "single" favorite.

    Here are some of what I like:

    movies...especially classical/black-white mysteries, and documentaries, especially WW2

    books, especially old mysteries and esoteric philosophy and religion and mythology/legends/gods/goddesses, etc.

    "old iron" restoring (and driving) vintage American automobiles, especially from the '40s, '50s, and '60s

    Your turn, Sark ! :)

    The best part of resurrecting this thread is that it has reminded me of "the long departed" (from our forum)... I haven't thought of Wizard Adam in years...As for the thread itself, the question is too vague to be meaningful.

    I wanted to check in with you all.

    Things haven't been going especially well, to be quite honest.

    While of course i don't want to get into too many specifics, suffice it to say that it's been an extremely rough time for the kids and me.

    Take care of the home front, my friend.

    "Us troublemakers" will try to be on our best behavior (yeah, Right...I hope you can tell the difference!) until you return.

    Blessing be with you and with yours,

  25. Through Me Gnosis Comes Forth

    Hex... I did not mean for my post to convey any animosity towards you personally.

    Understood (and anticipated).
    I am curious about the criteria you use to accept or reject "inspired" writings. Does it have to be a recognized relic from an ancient age to meet your muster, or would a collection of recent writings be just as welcome?
    I assume that most folks here are familiar with the concept (from physics) of "a resonant frequency" which induces a sympathetic harmonic in a suitable "receptor". That is how it is for me. I wish I could be more specific than that...

    but I cannot. And the antiquity of the work in question is not crucial... I prize some works of relative modernity (such as "Exegesis" by the late Phillip K. Dick).

    Is your acceptance of Gnostic/Coptic texts based on a perceived "hidden" knowledge unavailable in the Bible or other sources, or is it based purely on an emotion evoked when reading them?
    The short answer is: "both". While "hidden" might be an adequate description of many of the works that surfaced at Nag Hammadi, the word "suppressed" is a "better fit" for explaining my initial attraction to those works. I want to ponder for myself "the why" of the suppression of these works. Later on, it is "the works themselves" that determine which ones I value in the long run. As for how the Bible enters into this equation for me, I only consider the NT to be genuinely and exclusively "Christian", so that is the part that most interests me. The texts at Nag Hammadi that are identifiably Christian particularly interest me because, unlike the NT, these texts were not subject to revision during the last 1700 years.
