roger Posted August 31, 2016 Lack of love is an illusion. Everyone is wholly good. This doesn't seem to be the case, but things aren't what they seem; they are what they are. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted August 31, 2016 Well, I love myself so there is never a lack of love in my life. Sometimes I have been "not good". I apologize for that. And true, perception almost always puts a twist on "what is". The fewer the twists, the straighter the line. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3bob Posted August 31, 2016 which could be modified to state that lack of "God" is an illusion, but then not so many will get on board. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bindi Posted August 31, 2016 Lack of love is an illusion. If I have an empty well with a pump attached, can I say I have a well and a pump, and any lack of water is merely illusory, or would I do better to just get on and make the well deeper? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aetherous Posted August 31, 2016 Lack of love is an illusion. Everyone is wholly good. This doesn't seem to be the case, but things aren't what they seem; they are what they are. Speaking the truth. But then again, we live with the results of the illusion. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bindi Posted September 1, 2016 Maybe the water has turned to air or ice If it was frozen it would have to be heated As far as I'm concerned, I'll do whatever is necessary to get that well operating properly, except assume that the problem is an illusion.

Stosh Posted September 3, 2016 Problems Are always illusions, theyre ideas about how we want things to be vs the way that they actually are. Consider what an illusion is , define it thoroughly . Do the same for the word 'problem " . The meanings both revolve around ideas in your head conflicting with the state of material things outside your head. This doesnt mean that magically the material world will suddenly conform to your wishes, it does suggest though, that one needs to physically bring about this conformance, OR change ones attitude. WHICH,you probably already know. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy Posted September 9, 2016 What about rape? During the moment that such a horrible act is committed, is there not at least a slight 'lack of love'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drifting_Through_Infinity Posted September 9, 2016 I think this theory is correct. The world may be full of wars and people yelling at each-other if you look at it from that angle, but all those Gods are really laughing and giggling inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
