What is the nature of God?

mulanmatu @mulanmatu (68) • Philippines 2 Jun 07

I wonder how diverse our conceptions of God are. Do you see God as a human being? An authoritative Being? The Omniscient, Omniprescent One? A point of light? Allah? Buddha? Brahma Baba? Why do we have such variety?

Which is easier--being a teacher or being a student?

mulanmatu @mulanmatu (68) • Philippines 31 May 07

The search for the Truth

mulanmatu @mulanmatu (68) • Philippines 30 May 07

I have been skeptical all this time. Lost. Since highschool, I tried to "search" for the right religion. In my country, Christianity is the thing. And I tried one sect after another. One charismatic group after another. I was...
