Maybe, we just need to replace our way of interpreting God. Wonderfully said, Antiquites.

Numbers Don't Lie..... >>Obviously there is no need to replace God. Maybe, we just need to replace our way of interpreting God. Even though I still have a problem with organized religion at this point in my life, I have no problem with God. May you and every poster here have a Blessed Easter no matter what your concept of God is.>> The problems we all have begin and end with any/all attempts to define, control and place meaning and purpose of our lives in things outside of ourselves. This turns us all into hairs at the end of tails at the end of various dogs, however imaginary or real they may be. And religions, governments, society and all "this or that" detail get swallowed up inside the same Black Hole. The core/divine purpose or meaning of our lives rests with our ONE core relationship with God. Either we allow Him to use us as an expression of His Will or we use the light, energy and Love of God in opposition to our divine/inner core nature to pursure advance our own selfish purpose. Either we love unconditionally with God as our partner or we love conditionally with ourselves and others working in partnership to advance "our" causes. And behind every action, every movement, every change, everything are numbers. Numbers, numbers, numbers. They are "the first and the last" of the "beginning and the end" of all the ways - ie. manifestations - behind the use of energy. It's either going or coming - ie. either we are giving or taking energy.... And it's a completely OPEN audit trail. Nothing is hidden. The illusion is that darkness and grey nothingness - ie. meaninglessness - DOES exist. My wife and two boys volunteered at church this past Easter holiday season. I played a "jewish official" in the Passion on Palm Sundy. I was a reader on Easter Sunday. I read the "intentions", etc. My wife and two sons were "greeters". She passed out the baskets for the collection, etc. Let me make very clear, despite all of this, NOTHING, NOTHING compared in scope, meaning and power to the angelic, crystal clear & radiant energy and love of our 3 1/2 year old son, Thomas' "Happy Easter!!!" as he helped hand out the weekly schedules/programs for the people departing the chapel. My wife, who's 3 1/2 months pregnant with our third child, was as broken up as I and everyone one else who witnessed Thomas' clear, innocent message. forget about me and what "I" did. Forget about what "we" do. For everything of any real value is in the Lord's hands and He makes Himself and His energy and His purpose known more directly through children than anyplace else. May the Spirit of The Child grace us all as we humbly and joyfully walk in the light and grace of God's Love and in celebration of the message of light and hope behind this Easter season. Peace. Light! ONE!! GO!!
