I looked at the site but didn’t get much specifics. It says you dive deep into your heart and experience peace. Sweet! Is there visualization? Any more info you can share ?

I really love this verse. I especially like to tell it to my friends who are Catholic and Orthodox Christians. For me it represents living in the present moment. Not needing to wait until you die to see the Fathers kingdom. It is inside of you, and outside of you. It is not anywhere but here and now.

Thanks, I didn’t know what the word logia meant, but I see it’s greek for verse. As for the independent and separateness, I’m going to revert back to my original interpretation of focusing in the spirit versus the flesh. It seems I am confusing myself trying to justify the sameness - at least being expressed in this verse.

Funny, I just read this line yesterday - but it was in Luke 17:20

113. His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?" "It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Rather, the Father's kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and people don't see it."

At this point I think Spotless is just pretending to sleep in order to fit in with us mortal humans.

May I ask why you refused the gift from your friend ?

I am glad it is pleasant - and no need for coffee in the morning! Can you choose to let go of your awareness if you want ? Like really pass out ?

I like my sleep as it’s always been... Dreams and silence mixed with an occasional bathroom break. Sleeping while being awake doesn’t sound like fun to me. 😊

I've always thought they are the same, as it is "woe" that they try to exist independently... I've also thought that is part of Jesus' deeper mystery, like the last verse about the inner and the outer being the same.

There can only be ONE OHARA

maybe you could tell us about them? I've never heard of Tridaya... What kind of practice is it? Neigong, qigong? Is it movement based or more in the mind? Sometimes the more technical aspects will bring out people for discussion... but I'd be interested in hearing about new stuff you've learned.

Welcome back

Nope 😊 The kingdom of God is within and without...

So Jesus talks a lot about being focused on worldly stuff (flesh) as being death, but being focused in spirit is life. Here he seems to be saying that, while this is true, it’s also true that you cannot choose life without the possibility of death.

That’s a message I can get behind

Thanks. I will use yours for this one.

112. Jesus said: Woe to the flesh which depends upon the soul; woe to the soul which depends upon the flesh.

We must be choosing the wrong kinds of foods, media, books and internet then.
