Wasting Time with GOD

[Crazy Horse]

Away from the meditation mat, there is the spiritual practice of feeling - love.

Generating a sense of gratitude, of empathy, friendship, with GOD.

Talking, praying, asking questions, feeling and sensing the presence of THAT, which is unchanging.

Walking out in nature, or simply experiencing something beautiful, it is easy to get lost in an altered state of peacefulness.

So basically in a nut-shell, one thinks and feels and interacts with GOD as much as possible.

This shall have several positive results, not least of all a deeper connection to THAT whilst back upon the meditation mat.

Does anybody else "waste" time with GOD?

Is there a reason you capitalize the entirety "god" every time you get the opportunity to do so?

Yes..

It indicates THAT which is beyond, or behind, or within, and which is the source and maintainer of this dualistic universe.

The word "self" would mean the egoic self, the word "Self" would indicate our highest self before Enlightenment which would be "SELF".

AT-ONE-MENT with GOD.

The Grammar rules state that Capitalization is Corporate

Oxford manual of styles says keep away from capitalization. Doesn't give a reason though.

Can anyone actually give a definition that capitalization = English?

Principle

(ˈprɪnsɪpəl)

n

(Theology) Christian Science another word for God

 

So if I have a principle that is my god?

I know exactly what you mean.    However, should GOD be God?

I should've specified: I was referring to the entire word.

It is time I feel, to build a new ark.

One made from faith and belief, but also practice, devotion, loving kindness and humility.

Not so much a physical, but an alchemical refuge from the coming deluge.

Somehow, I doubt your sarcasm is going to sufficient.

You first. I'll wait for the results of your efforts.

I have to ask...  What do you mean by referring to the entire word?   Is it GOD or God?   What is your definition of the two words please?

God, gave my mother a second child who was stillborn. A child that never felt a warm embrace, the grass under his toes or rain upon his face. God, gave and took, and hurt my parents. Like so many others. 

Why in the absolute hell should I devote any of my thoughts, feelings, and actions towards a monster like that?

Why not?

It cant be any worse than that monster called hate that you cherish so much nowadays.

Hate? Strong word. You do know that if all things come from god, then hate is one of them. All the good and evil in this world come from god. There is no single side. God, the devil, one in the same.

Touchy subject, but I feel this might be useful.   You think GOD is a monster?  This gives a bit of different perspective on things.

  Doesn't work like that at all.  You are only looking around at the world as seeing what you want to see.  There is more to see if you want to see it.

Why are you even talking to me?

The last time we spoke, I offered you the chance to know for yourself, what it is that is being spoken about, concerning GOD.

And you refused, twice.

So you belittle, complain, ridicule and mock those with faith, and then, when offered a direct knowledge of THAT, albeit only a little taste, you refuse.

So why are you even talking to me?

Hypocrisy is what I see in you. You consider others who don't follow you/s spiritual path to lesser people than yourself. You speak of godliness yet hate others.

Yeah,,,

That would be the hate that you cherish so much shaping your world.

All righty folks, let's not make this personal- stop discussing each other please.

Splinters and planks.

One may see these words as hateful, and hypocritical, or you may see those words as harsh but fair, or one may see them as loving sentiments straight from the heart.

Its up to the individual.

And so, spending time with the presence of GOD, away from formal meditation, will not only help that meditation practice, but we help one see the world in a different light altogether.
