silent thunder Posted August 5, 2018 I don't recall where I heard this, but it resonated and seems appropriate. "if we were all to sit in a great circle and confess all of our darkest, deepest sins. we would laugh hysterically at our collective lack of imagination." ~anon As to my sins... I'm with a few others here... and don't believe any longer in any biblical or religious notions of sin. I have an inkling though, of the harsh and painful impact my ignorance can inflict on others and myself. There were also some years I feel were 'lost' to anger and resentment. But these have released into the acceptance of what is and what has gone. I'm much better at no longer dredging up the past to cause yet more pain in the present. Particularly regarding the few times in life where I lashed out to hurt others with my words and was very successful to my later deep dismay. These have not been fully released... but baby steps. They happened, I accept it, I acknowledge it and recognize that that man and this one, while we look similar, are not the same men... and I release it again. Every time it arises... release. Like a bellows really. and I no longer vow to myself not to make any more mistakes, I intend to try and make better mistakes. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3bob Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) virtues or sins could land one in the heaven or hell realms for a very long time, but not eternally...for the eternal is not really of eternal time and memory stretched out in a line as some may define it, but of the eternal now which is the Source where it's all happening.

3bob Posted August 5, 2018 yea, but we don't really have to work it out just like we don't really have to work out the Tao that is already in the works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

" I agreed and commented how fire can be good ... as long as it doesnt get out of control . " And he , with a now wilder look in his eye goes " Ohhhh I dont mind that at all, if it gets out of control !
