I'd like to thank Me_Again for this wonderful link called, "An Interview With God". It reminded me of things I have forgotten. Even if you don't believe in God, this clip is full of encouragement, wisdom and greatness. I hope it blesses you all as much to watch this clip as it did me.

I agree. Lovely pictures and very truthful, mainly common sense though. dontgetit.gif

Ummm. . . . a format of attacking the subconscious human psyche by soothing, calming. . . . . .

Which can leave a person vulnerable to subliminal suggestions. Hence the interview with "God."

Nice ploy by whoever made this.

Dang Claude, how many screen names are you up to now? huh.gif rolleyes.gif

Anyway, at the risk of being scolded by any one of a thousand different members all of which belong to one person's split personality, I'll get back on topic. These little flash movies and powerpoint presentations serve a couple of purposes. For believers, they calm and reassure. For nonbelievers, they annoy and tempt many an email checker to report their well-meaning loved ones as spam senders.

As far as the subliminal messages go, I think you're looking a little too deeply here. rolleyes.gif If you don't believe, a powerpoint presentation isn't going to change your mind. If it does, then I think you should look somewhere else to lay the blame. wink2.gif
Nadia Blue
That's a very good point, Anson. Even if you don't believe in God, there are so many things that are bigger than us out there. Things we don't fully understand and can't control. Things that affect our daily lives whether we wish them to or not. And I do see some of these "movies" or whatever tongue.gif as inspirational. It just depends on the message. I won't get into what I believe as I don't think that's really important right here, but there are people who see these things (usually sent via email) as intrusive and annoying. This is all I'm saying. If you believe, great. You've just gotten an uplifting message for the day. If you don't, fine. Delete it and go on about your business. It annoys me when people try to read too much into these messages. It is what it is. No more, no less. wink2.gif

EDIT: Okay, I'm done. That's my bit of pointless blathering on for the morning. tongue.gif

That.. was... Awful.
All of that was common sense, which me or many many other could have told you. Would it have the same coming from a Wiccan or if it was title "Interview With Buddah"?

Just one. I'm thinking he changed the name, which he is allowed to do if he asks a mod. Don't think it's against forum rules.
edit: Should anything really "surprise" God, given that he made us? Those were really lovely pics though.

Hey! Wannabe thumbsup.gif The realization is starting to sink in grin2.gif "I AM" me and not all the other labels I choose to identify myself with. I have been telling you who I am all along, but everyone else choose to look for and find the label on me, so this is the ultimate name which I carry and wish to be identified with. If one looks at this life, we find it to be of a materialistic nature, and most tend to identify themselves with fabricated titles and possessions to be who they believe they are. When one finds the answer within themselves, there is no further need to either seek material reinforcements or titles or names to give one's stature. Sure it is not bad to have, but first one must be, then one can have.

"I AAAM" Your Friend wub.gif

P.S. Did you find the clips I referred to on this post of any positive aid in re focusing on the bigger picture?
Nadia Blue
So, at this point, you just "are", right? Is this the name you're going to keep now? After all, I'd like to be able to recognize my friends when I see them. innocent.gif

Anyway, no I actually didn't look at your clips. I was rather, er, preoccupied last night. I'll go do so now. wink2.gif

They're not viruses, are they? tongue.gif
Nadia Blue
Okay, I read the motivational thoughts for the last 3 days. This is nothing new to me. I already knew all this and it's common sense, for the most part. Heck, maybe I've been to too many seminars and Psych101 classes. I really don't mean to be negative, especially after reading such uplifting material grin2.gif , but why didn't you just start a new thread for this? What's your point here?

Yes W.S. I AAAM and I will always be. Who else could I be if it was not me being true to myself and others? So I offer my sincere apology's for those whom I may have confused with titles, names and labels, but it was an important lesson to be learned by willing participants to whom I hope I have enlightened in some small way. When I first entered these forums, everyone was asking who is this idiot, and why should we give him any credibility? My answer to these questions has been long drawn, and sufficient to satisfy your criteria in assessing ones credibility, and in the end we all found out that the labels we choose to wear do not mean a thing. What a great lesson in life I have shared with you all! I only hope that it serves you well! thumbsup.gif
Nadia Blue
.................WHAT????? huh.gif I'm very happy that you've found yourself and all, but you didn't answer my question. *not surprised* What was the point of you wanting me to read the motivational pages? What has it got to do with the thread?

You're trying to keep me occupied, aren't you? grin2.gif

Also, love how you picked a name derived from what God used for himself when addressing Moses. Very classy. thumbsup.gif rolleyes.gif

Oh! Sorry! Yes the questions of course! There are no known viruses contained in the film clips etc. The clips are there for you to view to help bring us back into perspective. There is too much talk of the negative these day's and when we constantly think negative thoughts we tend to become negative and bringing us to the desired result for those who wish negativity on us. (The rulers and powers that be). The reason for no individual post on all this ' is due to being overwhelmed again with too many questions and not enough time to answer them in. I hope this answers your questions dear... thumbsup.gif The classy name I hope will be adapted by everyone once they choose to look within and find the "HERO" which exists. Thus I started posting as ClAuDe HeRo. You see there realy is a method to my madness!

I think I made a friend! w00t.gif

Anson wub.gif Hi giral original.gif I'm glad you didn't delete the spam I sent to you w00t.gif and then you go and make a thread of it happy.gif Now why didn't I think of that tongue.gif I think that the most powerful message in "the interview with god" was that two different people see the same thing and view it differently yes.gif I am me , you are you, we are so magnificently different, while so dumbfoundedly (yes I made that word up w00t.gif )...the same wub.gif

Smeagol1 Even in the most perfumed and perfect flower one can sometimes find a bug! This is not to say that life can be lived without bug's, it is just that every now and again they pop up to bug us. disgust.gif Whatever you believe or whatever is your faith is not important in this issue the fact is this: When we the created became so, it was with a perfect blueprint and plan from the creators with our best interests in mind. These creators then went on to give us basic tutoring and lessons in life so that we could evolve with our own acquired lessons and wisdom. This is the reason that we have irregularities and faults in our DNA structures which present themselves as handicaps to which you mention. This is a sad fact of life! However it can also be used as a tool to build strength and character. Unfortunately we have yet to discover the switches in the DNA strands which can reverse these abnormalities, and I believe that at the rate of progress which we are making that it will not be that far away. We still though have the skeptics which slow our progress, but as in every other era or invention the skeptics were not known to be the ones who have the last laugh. We are all hindered by one imperfection or another the best we can do for ourselves is to wear it well and go on living and loving your uniqueness in this world of multicolored tapestry and shapes sizes sound's and sights. Never stop wondering at the marvels which surround us and also remember this lesson which someone once taught me. It went something like this I think: "I used to cry because I did not have any shoes, until I met a person who had no feet"...

Keep your chin up and please keep in touch. I will always have time to respond to you wub.gif thumbsup.gif

Here is an interview with [G-d] given by someone (we’ll call her Sheri) recommending me for a certain position.

[G-d]: How would you describe this applicant's capabilities and work ethic?
Sheri: You know, [name of interlocutor], I don't like to throw around the words "unparalleled genius" casually, but that's what it comes down to, right there, my friend. His abilities are most likely beyond your meager comprehension. But that's OK, because you don't have to understand him to hire him, which I recommend you do immediately. [Laugh smugly here.] Also, his work ethic is comparable to a draft horse. Or Jesus, maybe. He's like something that's determined and strong, but that can also work miracles [riff extensively on this abstract simile], and that's all you need to know.

[G-d]: What are the applicant's greatest strengths/weaknesses?
Sheri: What—are we talking physical strengths here? I know he runs the forty in, like, two flat. Long jumps like one of the Mario brothers. Also, his torso, from what I've heard, is fully ripped and exploded. I once saw him lift a car to save a squirrel. A moving car, by the way. But if we're talking about character strengths, mental strengths, then I'd say it has to be his concentration and multitasking abilities. While it may appear to you that he's browsing the Internet, or playing PS2 games in his office with his pants off, behind those sparkling eyes, his mind is working a mile a minute, perhaps juggling seventeen or eighteen different concepts: efficiency statistics, status reports, nonlinear algorithms, sales accounts, Portuguese poetry—whatever. [Also, improvise loosely around the themes of dedication, tenacity, and loyalty.]
His greatest weakness is either his perfectionism or his inability to refuse extra responsibilities. Also, mayonnaise--except maybe Wasabi-infused. Seriously.

[G-d]: What is your overall evaluation of this applicant?
Sheri: He is the apotheosis of mankind, period! Ha-ha, just kidding. Or am I? [Huge contemplative pause.] In the history of time, I don't think I've ever witnessed someone so youthful and virile and yet so mature. Various things that come to mind when thinking about him, which I do often, even outside of work: self-possessed, tall, strong handed, upright, weight-bearing, dynamic, full bodied, melodic, sweet smelling, and aplomb-filled. I could go on and on, but let me just say this:
He’s your guy! Michael is recommended if you cannot do without the following: Esoterica, Common Sense, Playfulness, Serene wisdom, Dashing Intensity, Hearty/Silly/Giggly Fun, Immunity from prosecution and persecution, and Unstoppable Awesomeness... (I could go on--I have quite a long list here but I know your time is my time).

Good Gaud! Talk about going of topic, this interview thread was supposed to be about what one would ask god at an interview, not about self fulfilling ones ego with rant and rave about ones personal perception of one's self.

This is typical of most people in the world; one asks a specific question, and the answer comes back somehow distorted to self fulfill ones needs. What a sham.

Even though I laugh and joke, and sometimes get my spelling screwed up, at least I can still see the trees through the woods.
