"Buddha, CWG, me, we and the Lord Jesus Christ notwithstanding, there can be only ONE (1) Source/End. And if you believe this then there should really never be a problem with what anyone says or believes". Can you imagine that someone might have a "problem" with this for the reason that the notion of a "source" or "end" is based on an (egoic) perception of separation (from that Source or End) which leads to the (false) notion of a Creator-God? And everything else that notion implies, including "beginnings" and "endings"? Namaste! Jim

You may not have "come up" with these things, but you have chosen to "share" them repeatedly. If A chooses to share P and B chooses to share not P, then are both "sharings" to be treated equally? How do you recommend receiving these two "sharings"?

Frederick: Let me try to explain my last post to you. Something(anything) can only be said to exist (or be) if you (or anyone or anything) is CONSCIOUS of it. What one could call the faculty of CONSCIOUSNESS either exists or it doesn't. If it can be said to exist, there is no question of its beginning or ending, it just exists in the NOW. There is no beginning or end to the now, only arbitrary divisions of it introduced by the ego, to attempt to explain the seeming appearances and seeming disappearances of all and everything. Everything appears in the Eternal Now of The Divine/ God/ your choice of Name (which IN ITSELF is without beginning or end) Namaste! Jim
