I'm a very strong Christian i've been dreaming about so many weird things, one of them is my former us government teacher and in one of them I had an accident, she knew I was a christian and when I was in the bed not waking up at all she started praying for me, she cried and said that she was a sinful woman and so she became christian. Then in anohter one, her sister (which name was stacy) was a christian and i had a best friend in college (Marianne) who had an alcoholic problem and i didn't but i wasn't a christian, so i had a problem. Stacy was trying to get us into church, but we didn't like the idea. Anyways, i had also have dreams about the endo of the world and some stuff i've read in the Bible. i also dream about people who aren't real, i.e. Stacy, Marianne and people like that. I don't know any Stacies or Mariannes in my life. What does all this mean? Can somebody help?

I'm particularly interested in Scottish Gaelic, but Irish Gaelic as well. Is it a difficult language to pronounce for native English speakers? Is it a difficult language to read and write? Do many people in Scotland and Ireland still use the languages?
At home in Cape Breton, almost everyone, including myself, has celtic roots, but the language has unfortunately almost died out now.

How did you display your anger? How did you resolve it?

I was angry once, many years ago, truly I don't remember to much more about it, or why, perhaps all that resentment I had bottled up back then.

There are probably about 5-10 people in America that know enough about whats really going to give a just opinion on the job of Presidency in America.
I believe that successful individuals have earned their right to be there.
My experience has taught me that you can not succeed in life being a deceitful, money-grubbing, clannish, mama's boy,YET the media would have YOU believe that this, frat-boy/oil man/daddy's-boy,is doing just that.
Bush may be willingly sacrificing his name to the Cattle of America so they can graze on the fat of the land and send his reputation to the slaughter house.That is what leaders do. Sacrifice themselves for the betterment of others.
If we were to find the truth out, I doubt if it would be gyrating around pessicism. In fact, it would probably be acknowledging the good things like the future America and world, our children, etc.
It's a good thing for us that Bush loves cattle!
So my question is,"How long till the herding-instinct is bred out of America

Topic is Koan Practice:
Here is a well known koan: Two hands clap and there is a sound. What is the sound of one hand?



"...in the beginning a monk first thinks a koan is an inert object upon which to focus attention; after a long period of consecutive repetition, one realizes that the koan is also a dynamic activity, the very activity of seeking an answer to the koan. The koan is both the object being sought and the relentless seeking itself. In a koan, the self sees the self not directly but under the guise of the koan...When one realizes ("makes real") this identity, then two hands have become one. The practitioner becomes the koan that he or she is trying to understand. That is the sound of one hand." — G. Victor Sogen Hori, Translating the Zen Phrase Book[10]

So do any Christian find value in this type of awareness/introspection? What is a Christian equivalent?

old men "interpreted" the bible? Maybe then they would've been to busy to make up fairy tales and we wouldn't have to deal with people repeating the rubbish as fact today. Drat. Where were the scientists? Surely not ALL of them were executed for heretics when Christianity was in it's cult stage. I know the Christians burned down the Great Library of Alexandria but didn't somebody think to save a copy to disc? Geez.

i still believe in HIM, however, with all that i have read and studied, coupled by my rational and logical reasoning, i have found it difficult to have faith in GOD again.
in essence i don't want GOD for the sake of religion's sake, but rather that feeling in your heart that you have when it's filled with faith.

"I agree that there should be peace. But, people are people and peace can not be found in one who does not believe in Jesus."

Read this quote on this sight about an hour ago. Do people agree with this and why? Personally I think its disgusting that there are people in the world who think like this.
