Philosophical motivation to love God.

[Cliffy]

C'mon Cliffy,
You love a great smile! I was just trying to get to figuring out how this system works actually. I Thought you'd appreciate it for sure with your sense of humor. Hey, if you google Aton Levy you can get that Black "temple" cheap in San Francisco, its pretty run down though! lol. Hey again, you one of those Ol' NW Hippies that ran to B.C. to grow his own?? Red or Ganga?? Cannabis sativa, lol !!

I was one of them Jesus Freaks!
(Not really! ..just keepin' you guessing)
God DOUBLE bless you man!
Peace Out!

Originated in Montreal. Left to learn how to survive in the forest without money. Figured it was the only way to survive the collapse of civilization. Got tired of waiting so I thought I would come out and give civilization a kick in the butt.

Do you remember the Cheech & Chong skit about Jezuz Freaks?
"I used to be all messed up on drugs. Now I'm all messed up on the lord."

Hi Cliffy ,Wouldn't you say that you have just switched a one kind of a drug for another kind ?
You were messed up in drugs ; now in a lord .
Why not let the Lord be "messed up" with you Cliffy ;at least He knows what he's doing .

You will be happy to know that martial law is still in effect and can be implemented at a moments notice (at least so I heard, my apologies to Colpy if I'm wrong. I wouldn't want to bring down his wrath on me again!:-()

matial law was to protect the people from the FLQ
The people demanded it and the leader acted.

I would do the same

Were you in Montreal at the time? I was. It was a joke. The army was stationed to protect police stations. It was shortly after that that I left Quebec in disgust.

No I don't believe in dualities now but at one time I was convinced I was a self contained unit. Love and anti-love and a wide band in between the extremes that's suitable for things like us. I suggest that love at the same but opposite wave hieght would be just as incomprhensable to us as evil is.:icon_smile:

You cannot learn how to love ( you don't know what Love is ) , but what you can do is to observe hate and put it gently aside. Don't battle against hate, don't say how terrible it is to hate people, but see hate for what it is and let it drop away; brush it aside, it is not important. What is important is not to let hate take root in your mind. Hope you understand. Your mind is like rich soil, and if given sufficient time any problem that comes along takes root like a weed, and then you have the trouble of pulling it out; but if you do not give the problem sufficient time to take root, then it has no place to grow and it will wither away. If you encourage hate, give it time to take root, to grow, to mature, it becomes a big problem. But if each time hate arises you let it go by, then you will find that your mind becomes very sensitive without being sentimental; therefore it will know love. The mind can pursue sensations, desires, but it cannot pursue love. Love must come to the mind. And, when once love is there, it has no division as sensuous and divine: it is love. That is the extraordinary thing about love: it is the only quality that brings a total comprehension of the whole of existence.

The city of Montral asked for help and the army was called out.
Any city has the right to do it
Look at the Aborigional uprising in Kahnesatake Oka the military was called in.

When the police loses control that can call in the military to help then restore order

Noooooo. Undercover RCMP officers lives were on the line and they needed to get their asses out of there without any media getting hint of what was happening.

What was your take on the situation? At the time I thought that it was just a chess game being played to scare the French back into line. I don't think La Port was killed. I think he spent the rest of his life on a south sea island on a fat pension for that scam. None of the so called perps ever did hard time and I believe one went on to have a seat in the Quebec legislature with the PQ.

I certainly agree with that very well written teaching of love. I think our problem is perspective. There are as many paths to god as there are people. An infinite number of approaches to a center that surrounds us. :love8:

Cliff. Who benefits the most from a politically unstable Quebec threatening seperation and keeping Canada from fully developing economically?

Just a few posts ago you held up acts of hate as the work of real men. One mans hate is another mans love. Certainly I can't learn perfect love but while I'm waiting to though I'll make do with my crude approximations.

You sure know how to play with words;a real talent .
