  1. Only In America?

    It would be great - we could sing the Che Guevara song ... and smoke cigars and drink .... whatever Cubans drink and laugh and eat pineapples common ....
  2. Only In America?

    I'd love to go to Cuba. Really. I think the whole isolationist approach by the US is ridiculous specially now the Cold War is over. We could all go and reenact scenes from Godfather II ... what do you say?
  3. Christian Mysticism

    No I wasn't suggesting you implied that I was simply stating a fact ... that I am not a fundamentalist in that I don't think that a) there is only one correct version of things and b )that by going back in time to the 'original' version you get any closer to the truth than you do by taking in the whole history of thought from then till now. It is possible that the way in which the Logos and the Holy Spirit are understood has evolved over time and that the way it is expressed has changed. This is not to say the Logos itself has changed but only the way in which it is conceptualised by thinkers. I just see it as all 'in the plan' from alpha to omega and all that matters is consistency within each formulation. [as a short aside I think the same about the Buddhist path and am not a fan of back to Pali thinkers] Traditions are living things and all the participants are included. Same with this thread ... we are not after all (I hope) interested in dogma.
  4. Only In America?

    I think since you live in Florida that the Cuban flag would be both tactful and appropriate (unlikely to cause controversy) ... in fact a portrait of Castro would be ideal.
  5. How to stop frequent ejaculation?

    There's loads on this very topic ... try using google to search instead of the board search function (which is crap) ... just put something like 'thetaobums mo pai ejaculation' in google if it doesn't show what you want then try diff words combination ...
  6. How to stop frequent ejaculation?

    To be honest I think you should reassess your training and the whole approach to what you are doing. What system are you practicing?

  8. Christian Mysticism

    OK I'm not a fundamentalist and if my view is like the Platonic and 'institutional' view then so be it. I regard the Christian mystical tradition as the the whole story, through the medieval philosophers to now. So I am not overly concerned with when in history ideas were first mentioned. For instance we may get onto Christian Kabbalah and Grail Legends (again) yet and I count them all in.

    Ha! It was a false flag situation staged by the CIA.

  13. Christian Mysticism

    Only very slight nuance of difference to that. God (as absolute) is primordial and ineffeable. Trinity - God the Father .... creative power, God the Son ... Logos, form and energy, God the Holy Spirit ...activity - hence power, form, function. Three in one.

    Open Heart Power. Surgeon smiles behind his mask This might hurt a bit.
  16. Christian Mysticism

    Are you saying Logos = Holy Spirit?
  17. Christian Mysticism

    that's more like how I see it ... do you have a source for this?
  18. Christian Mysticism

    The first John referred to is John the Baptist and not the Apostle John. I still feel you are mixing the Logos and the Holy Spirit and prefer the Holy Spirit as Shakhinah of Seth (I think) But maybe its a mute point since they are three in one anyway.

    You can't put out a flaming barrel with a vase of flowers.

    Does every post have to have at least one ?
  23. Christian Mysticism

    That's not how I understand it ... but I shall wait for others to comment. Don't apologise for interrupting by the way ... this is a discussion after all
