Patterns

I have mentioned repeating patterns often in my discussions here. I ran across this yesterday. It is a good example of what I've been trying to say. It is a bit shallow, but I think it will get the idea across.

The show is called "Mankind Decoded", if the link does not work, it can be found at the history channels H2 site.

The truth of truth

People tend to get so wrapped up in their own truth, they forget that "the truth" applies to everyone. To see this truth you have to understand that that it is the same for all of us,

General Theosophy #129

Thoughts on NDE's continued

"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."...Gautama Buddha

This my seem an odd quote to introduce my thoughts on near death experiences. I have experienced three near death events. The most recent was a little over six months ago. Another one around my fiftieth birthday...eight years have passed since then. The first took place in the mid 70's. I will discuss the first two NDE's in much less detail than my most…

evil absence of God

"God did not create evil just as darkness is the absence of light, evil is the absence of God." Albert Einstein... I recently came to this possible conclusion before seeing the quote.

Quotes

At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.— Thich Nhat Hanh
