A final thought on the Bible and Christianity and mysticism: "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." How else is someone supposed to find the Kingdom of Heaven within themselves, except by contemplation/meditation? Hrmmm? And my other question was never answered: What would be so wrong if, as a Christian, someone sat down, quieted themselves inwardly, filled themselves with love for God, and then said, "Here i am, God. I'm listening," and then sat quietly for ten or fifteen minutes? And if a person did this every single day, at the same time, as though they were keeping an appointment with God, what kind of difference would that make to a person's relationship with God? I submit that it would make all the difference in the world -- That it would truly be the beginning of something deeply personal and amazing. No "centering prayer," and none of the mysticism stuff. Just sitting and listening quietly.... |

In your own words, what is Taoism? Please don't send me to a book. I'm interested in you. |

The LGBTTYISB wiki may not be the most accurate source on this topic. It's kind of funny to watch them paint Mr. Buddha as a modern progressive democrat. I bet he was against global warming too. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

They would be suddenly awoken by the shouts and jeers of the Westboro Baptist Church on their front lawn condeming their heresy. |

Tao is "the way." "The way" things are, "the way" things work, "the way" nature is. Taoism is the study of or reflection on or adherence to "the way." |

Almost as funny as watching people paint Jesus as a modern American conservative. |

No more or less accurate on the topic of Buddha than some other links I've seen posted here.
It's even funnier trying to contemplate how and why you wrote that. |

Mr. Buddha liked global warming and supported faster depreciation of capital equipment associated with oil drilling. He once went hunting with Dick Cheney and lived to tell about it. Edited by kluurs, Dec 9 2010, 03:32 PM.

Indeed, Frank, that is an essential part of it. |

Absolutely nothing is wrong with that. In fact, some of the Desert Fathers taught that this was an integral part of prayer - being able to be quiet and listen. The idea being - how else are we supposed to listen to God when we're too busy telling him what we need? Ax: the writing you quoted is beautiful. There is definitely a lot to be learned by others in this world no? |

Careful making the distinction between Christmas and Xmas! You may start to sound religious (or Greek) using Xmas.

Quiet is good. Listening is productive. Waiting is another form of serving. |
