  4. To all seekers of truth

    May the peace that passes all understanding wash over you like spring rain; may clarity crown your awareness like the sun, rising over the hills of home.
  5. Intro to Taoism System

    No elitist here; knowledge is being shared. yours is a self-centered comment. better to -ask- for more explaination. Sorry i hit the wrong reply button there is no elitist here;knowledge is being shared which is the purpose of this site. better to -ask- for more explanation than to comment from the self(self-centeredness)
  6. Regarding the "within"

    The Speaking Silence;Inner Space by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan; A -brief- word study to show that "seeking within" is not exclusive to one group or way and to illustrate that people of "faith" / "spirit" do not necessarily follow blindly and that "reason" need not be discarded to "believe". The Hebrew word Chashmal is explained in the Talmud as the "Speaking Silence";the meditative quietness of the mind out of which the Divine speech comes as -glimpsed- in Psalm 46:11 "Be still and know that I am God." This post is a responce to recent decrees I have read on this site. Thank you.
  7. Regarding the "within"

    Hi Tyler. I enjoyed your exposition;it seems there is as much misunderstanding and misuse in scientific inquiry as in spiritual questing. I dont mean to say that they are separate searches; we(human beings) need to understand as well as breathe. Yes,I am learning to walk with Messiah as did the first century followers. Thank you for asking. I came out of western protestant mindset and am learning, for example;the older testament feasts and the weekly Sabbath vs. man made hol(y)days. I know just enough Hebrew to be dangerous but it is an amazing language. Shalom, Bob
  8. Something you must know about Tao Te Ching

    Thanks for this posting.
  9. Regarding the "within"

    Once a man asked a preacher to prove that God exists. The preacher said to the man,"Do you love your wife?"The man said, "yes". The preacher said,"prove it". The man was an honest man and a thinking man. He said to the preacher, "I know it to be true that I do love my wife but I cannot prove to you that I do. I can however, show you and anyone else who uses his eyes for seeing,and his ears for hearing that I do by my words and deeds. I can live it, within and without."
  10. A Powerful Voice Of Reason

    The humanist party line. Some, humanists I have spoken with would not be un-happy if people of faith or spirit were behind fences topped with barbed wire.
  11. A Powerful Voice Of Reason

    Humanist messiah Maher in proclaiming his prophecy commits the exact sin he condemns; blind addherance to the words of another. Yes,-people- have gotten the message wrong but the message(the bottom line of scripture is Love) is true.
  12. A Warning

    paraphrase: when we know enough is enough there will be enough. the desire for money is a root of evil. a system of exchange is necessary but it is not -why- we do what we do. We don't work to get money but to provide.
  13. Why Taoism is different

    True Kabbalah (Inner Space by Aryeh Kaplan) too teaches the within. Through our actions here and now,for good or ill, we interact with and influence the reality beyond our (fallen?) perception. Have seen photo of ancient carving on cave wall in China which resembles the 10 sefirot.
  14. Hello;

    I have read a little here and a few shared quotes; I would like to say Hello by offering this quote: "Know what is in front of your face,and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed." Yeshuah
