The Zen master was walking along a beach, when he picked up a flat stone, which he then threw into the water, so that it bounced three, or four times, off of the water. He said to his students: "We all need to bounce off...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 There is no going back of course, but we do have our memories, sometimes good memories, sometimes painful. Where life is taking us too, it is hard to fathom, as life seems to go on with, or without us, and yet, to be whole (the world), we must be...

We should not try to destroy our ego, but to work with it. Our ego is a part of who we are. Our total person includes our ego. We need to connect our ego to our soul, rather than to our mind, and so instead of...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 We need to know who we are in its entirety for us to fully live and function as who we are as a complete being. Even the Bible tells us this, when it tells us to love God, with our whole mind, heart, soul, strength, and heart. We need to do...

Rabbi Reskil Resposke, had been asked about the human inclination to commit bad acts, and not to always be willed by our higher self to live rightly, correctly, God aligned, lives. [b]This inbuilt inclination moves us away...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, I believe God sits behind our conscience, and so we get prompting direct from the horse himself, so we should sit up, and take notice, of our conscience, and not ignore it. Our gut feelings more come from our own heart, and soul, but as these...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, we are provided with a body, a mind, and a soul, and we can connect to higher and higher consciousness too, by our trying to stay aware, and to see the truth in life, and gain wisdom, as we move through it.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, God is mostly created by his creation, and so their ideas about him are all wrong, as only God can be himself, God. We have to be ourselves, and allow God to be himself too, and then we can work together as partners in his creation, not as...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 The Catholic Church brings new players into the ranks, with a sighting of a mother Mary somewhere, or a miracle of sorts, being produced by some layman, that then is lauded as being a saint. At least, by doing this, they try to make their religion...

I read this on the Internet recently, written by some religious scholar. "Only the awakened can guide others to be awake." I thought about it, and came to the conclusion, that it is just not true. No, this is not true,...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Perhaps, his 104 year old father had just died, and left him this fortune, or perhaps, he is a liar, as most people exaggerate their earnings, and other answers, on such surveys. That said though, the gap and disparity in the wealth divide in society...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Even down to the grass-roots of society, most people see others as enemies, or at best, as their competition. This occurs in sport, at work, even when driving a car, and I have seen it even present in religions, where people position themselves for...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 For years, Western Australia has tried to separate itself from the rest of Australia, but so far it hasn't gone through. It does make some sense, as they are so far distanced from every other state, and they own most of the mining here. My wife, a...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Greenland is owned by Denmark, just as Australia owns the Antarctic Territory; perhaps Trump might go after that too, if oil, minerals, are discovered there too. Might is right has certainly been the way up until now, with a few exceptions, as when...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 I guess they do not see the significance of those old teachings in a modern world, where they want what they say, and think, to rule, and dominate, other's thinking here too. They want their own ways to be the ways for everyone else too. It boils...

Ptrikha_2 @Shiva49 May be you can come more frequently to Mylot to counter that! But yes, in the new Lifestyle or the Post Modern world, where even the employed feel lonely at times, someone who is not in active working can feel a bigger pinch.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Trump is trying to soften up Putin then with some conciliatory remarks. He appears to be a bit of a chameleon, changing his spots to match other's spots, at will.
