The path is; I live in the world, i am compelled to live in the world, but i should trust God's spirit.

I should be guided by God's spirit, and not be guided by what i see in the world.

My 'purpose' is to observe the world, even to react to what i see in the world, but do not be guided by what i see in the world.

Jesus said....

You claim to know what Jesus said?

No.

You know very well helian, that i was just quoting some words, that were attributed to Jesus.

Looks like you just shot a hole through the head of your religious fundamentalism, then.

I never heard any stinking God say that. When did that happen?
Sounds more like some egotistical schmuck postulating as the ruler of all things living to me Grin

Never mind all that eating, drinking, pissing and shitting we do from cradle to grave Grin

Or (to paraphrase Douglas Adams, I think),

Life is water's way of getting from A to B.

Yes, water is our major ingredient, but our atoms don't define us on a life-long basis. Our bodies tend to change out our atoms on a regular basis.

We are processes - more like the waves on the sea than the sea itself.

It's appealing to think life is this straightforward, but it's just a book

I'll have you know that I invented that phrase myself. Wink

Yours is a mind of the universe, no less than the Greeks up on Mars, you have a need to be there. And whether or not it is clear to you now, you have a right to be rich and a plot on the moon.

Cos when you know how to want and know how to ask, know how to have and know how to need...

With all that you touch, and all that you see, and all that you taste, and all you feel.

In all that you love, all that you hate, all you distrust and all you save.

Through all that you give, and all that you deal, and all that you buy, beg, borrow or steal.

From all you create, all you destroy, all that you do and all that you say.

By all that you eat and everyone you meet, all that you slight and everyone you fight.

For all that is now, all that is gone, all that's to come cos and everything under the sun is in tune

But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Moon plots, dally thou not... Lest thou loseth the plot...

For sooth, they will verily be lost unto thou...

At 2000 shekels, these are never to be repeateth prices.
