I've only recently started to get involved with spirituality. Since then I have gotten very close to three people who also meditate and all spiritual in their own ways! one says he can see energies another is almost a psychic.. the other is just all around wise with this kind of stuff. Each one has told me i have inner gift that isn't developed..... It freaks me out because they can't elaborate in what they mean. Is there such thing as a negative spiritual gift.. or is it usually a good thing? I'm not sure why I am so fearful!

just lose all your senses and thought process and seize to exist after you die and you had some way of knowing it beforehand? Could you cope with it? Would you seek eternal life on earth?

with other religious types, they always seem to not freak out, when on the other hand, the religious ones go crazy?

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
By: Linus

So today I went to work but had to leave work early. Not so happy about that. I went to buy a bed from some people. I pay the woman 300 dollars for the bed and tell her that I can't pick it up until tomorrow when I have access to a truck. She says no problem. Then I go to a family reunion diner. I take my car that I just bought for 3700 dollars that I have put less than 100 miles on. It appears to be in great cosmetic and mechanical shape ( That's what FireStone says and a local bigshot mechanic shop). WRONG. My engine starts this knocking that gets increasingly worse. Finally it sounds too bad to drive. So I go inside and start greeting family since I cannot do anything about the car right now anyway. I get inside and then I get a phone call. It's the ladies son who sold me the mattress. He says I need to get the mattress now or come back and get my money. So I go get my money back, take my car to the mechanic and he thinks the crankshaft is going out and it isnt cheap. 1600.00 or so.

I answered a question earlier and then got a personal answer from someone. I not going to say their name. but the question was about god, athiests and such things, I answered and this person sent me a mail try to answer my question. They said that I was atheist but not in a bad way I may had. They said I was buddhist in my beliefs. Are they right or wrong in saying buddihsts are atheist or not. I also belive in reincarnation.

In the Bible it says to remember the sabbath and keep it holy, among the things required to achieve this are that you cannot do any work nor can you allow work to be done by anyone in your houshold,not even in your town. If you or anyone else works on the sabbath the bible clearly states that the punishment for that is to be put to death. So tomorrow will Christians across the nation take to the malls,Walmart Target,Lowes,Home Depot,Starbucks, Hooters,and the millions of other places of business that will be open and put those employees working in those buildings to death as god has commanded,or will you fail to follow gods law yet again making yourself complicit it the crime against The Lord Our God?

I had long thought it might be Lilly Tomlin but having just seen the first Harry Potter film, I think it would be Zoe Wanamaker as the Sports Mistress. I could have broken my heart over her.

Bible:

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron that in all future generations, his descendants who have physical defects will not qualify to offer food to their God. No one who has a defect may come near to me, whether he is blind or lame, stunted or deformed, or has a broken foot or hand, or has a humped back or is a dwarf, or has a defective eye, or has oozing sores or scabs on his skin, or has damaged testicles. Even though he is a descendant of Aaron, his physical defects disqualify him from presenting offerings to the LORD by fire. Since he has a blemish, he may not offer food to his God. However, he may eat from the food offered to God, including the holy offerings and the most holy offerings. Yet because of his physical defect, he must never go behind the inner curtain or come near the altar, for this would desecrate my holy places. I am the LORD who makes them holy." (Leviticus 21:16-23 NLT)

If someone tells me that thunder comes from the Norse god Thor and I know for a fact that it comes from the sudden heating of the air, why dould I respect their opinion?
Is it not my duty to correct them?
Am I not justified in ridiculing a belief that is clearly wrong?
How can soceity make progress if we accept everybody's belief to be equally valid even if we know who'se correct?
Also applies to evangelist denial of evolution etc etc.

I dreamed there were these cattle mutilations going on in my front yard, and then these awful cult-like people were somehow causing people to bleed to death, and I could see it all from my bedroom window. There were people out there on gurneys and dying. I became so afraid for my family and me.

Now when I woke up I thought that was silly. I didn't feel fear. But why would I dream of having such strong fear?
