Namaste rwc,
thank you for the post.
perhaps so
interesting point of view.
the Buddhist tradition would seem to go about it in a different manner, of course, as we don't teach that there is "one" to be referenced. in our tradition that feeling is called Bodhichitta as it has no attachment to self in any manner.
i see.
how.. unusual; in the Buddhist paradigm no deities work to thwart our efforts at meditiation consequently such an idea of quite strange to me.
thank you for the explanation.
more than just that, of course, it allows the nadis to open and the energy to flow correctly along the path ways.
indeed, the Buddhist tradition is repleat with methods of meditiation when engaged in our daily routine.
no.
whilst that may be, i agreed to certain things when i joined this fourm one of which was that i couldn't post in the Christian only areas. i can read but not post. so i can read all manner of misrepresentations of my religious tradition but am not allowed to correct the misunderstandings.... that's just a recipie for hard feelings so i avoid it.
that has been my experience.
not a chance for the icon change i have no idea about being close to Jesus or not and have no real desire in that regard one way or the other but i do understand the kind sentiment behind the words and i do appreciate it.
metta,

perhaps so
meditation breaks down the barriers in the mind, expanding the conciousness until on contacts one's deepest desire to love

... at that point one reaches to God, it is not done by forming a conception of God , but simply by open-ended meditation .
i see.
.. the problem is taht if one, like me , is not perfectly loving when one tries it, then God says NO!

..... explanation.....
thank you for the explanation.
proper posture will save one a lot of backache LOL? after a while , when it is automatic, ,one can meditate almost anywhere, so long as no-one interrupts

Hmmm , do you not believe in the love that Jesus showed the world and said showed us God ?
no.
no-one in this group will ever call a moderator anyway, it ain't ourway, and we don't hnetly believe anyone is seen any differently by God just because they stick labels on themselves

PS personally the site rules mean nothing, they are riddled with incosistencies, dogam, injustice ,and applied loosely and unjustly.
that has been my experience.
.. you might as well just chnge your icon to nominallybe a christian, siince IMHO you are closer t Jesus than most who secured themselves favourable rights
not a chance for the icon change i have no idea about being close to Jesus or not and have no real desire in that regard one way or the other but i do understand the kind sentiment behind the words and i do appreciate it.
