I 'love ' God .

[china]

When you say you love God what does it mean? It means that you love a projection of your own imagination, a projection of yourself clothed in certain forms of respectability according to what you think is noble and holy; so to say, ‘I love God’, is absolute nonsense. When you worship God you are worship .ping yourself – and that is not love
So what ;God loves me anyways. .
Who the hell is God , right?

 

[china]

The demand to be safe in relationship inevitably breeds sorrow and fear. This seeking for security is inviting insecurity. Have you ever found security in any of your relationships? Have you? Most of us want the security of loving and being loved, but is there love when each one of us is seeking his own security, his own particular path? We are not loved because we don’t know how to love.

 

[china]

You cannot live without dying. You cannot live if you do not die psychologically every minute. This is not an intellectual paradox. To live completely, wholly, every day as if it were a new loveliness, there must be dying to everything of yesterday, otherwise you live mechanically, and a mechanical mind can never know what love is or what freedom is.

 

[YoungJoonKim]

" Who the hell is God , right?"

And hence, we are establishing a soft ground.
That ground is call "differences" and "freedom"
China, what you express is what I've heard mostly from Paul the Apostle from the bible [in his letters]. "We must die everyday and live again for Christ..[something like that]"
I am not intrigued by the fact that I worship myself, because I do.
I do it because I want to feel better and yet yes, I invite a new fear that will create another uncertainty. But isn't that what life is about?
What is the measure of uncertainty between physical world and mental world [e.x. imagination]? There is a huge difference.

I tend not to worry much about this world because it is yet another pointless and meaningless sacrifice and suffering out there. No man and woman knows my pain, not even my closest friend knows it.

[p.s. I leave now, my milk is turning "brown" on the stove...]

China,

Suppose I'm looking at a beautiful sunset and I'm being thankful to God for so much beauty and abundance in my life. Am I being thankful to a projection of my imagination?

 

[jimshort19]

China, you are a breath of fresh air, compared to Towsey. How do you like Towsey?

My god is not made in my image. My god is not much like me. My god is not your god. You do not know my god. My god is not projected by me. My god is beyond my projection. I do not know my own god very well, but it's my god.

Your god is as you say. I believe you. You are your own god. You call him China and I call him China. Your god, not mine, so you name him, not I.

Being one of open mind, may I please have my own god? May we all have our own? What are the rules about god?

Too bad you haven't found it yet....I have.

 

[jimshort19]

gerryh, "Too bad you haven't found it yet....I have."

ok. One guy. I guess you are not 'we' or the whole theory is out the window. But you can be my guru.

China, can it be that a man has found love?

 

[gerryh]

Love isn't about "me" or "I".

 

[darkbeaver]

China, I love God, and when she comes up in the morning I talk to her, she's warm and nurturing and infinetly patient, I obey god without reservation or doubt, when she sinks below the horizon I sleep in the comfort of her memory and wait for her return, she alone has made and kept the rules.

 

[talloola]

I love my God very much. My God is the earth, real, faithful, gives us life, food, and shelter, and I wish we would do the same for her.

I would be thanking God for the wonderful sunrise that I could see when I woke up. I would be thanking God for protecting me and allowing me to live to see another day and partake of his glorious creations. I would be thanking God for allowing me another day to work towards a better life.

 

[darkbeaver]

Who exactly would you be thanking gerry? If you don't mind me prying into your relationship.

 

[gerryh]

I have already stated "who" I would be thanking.

 

[darkbeaver]

Oh god the "generic", diety then, I see.

 

[gerryh]

Oh god the "generic", diety then, I see.

I doubt very much that you do.

 

[darkbeaver]

I doubt very much that you do either. But what the hell it's your blue lizard and you are free to worship it any way you like, this is a secular nation after all and the bizzare minority religions are protected.
