A friend made a comment to me that got me to thinking. The comment: Spreading goodness and love is the solution, if one realizes God, there will be no ego to inflate.
Does Ego keep you from understanding God?? The Ego can take many forms. It can come out controlling where one wants to run everyone's life demanding everything should be done their way. It can make one feel superior to others s... |

A small amount of the red is good for you. What they don't tell you is the stuff that makes red wine good for you is also in grapes. Drink grape juice. Darker the grapes the better for you. Throw that in with the green tea, oatmeal, and yes, fish oil. I wonder what they will come up with next. I'm running out of money to pay for all this stuff that's supposed to help me live to be 100. |

Aren't there animals living wild and free today?? Aren't they making their choices freely?? Look closely. Don't animals just have fewer capabilities?? I know a man who had a squirrel problem. The squirrel kept getting in his attic. The man tried everything from traps, poison, even boarding up any place of entry. The squirrel kept getting in. The man came to a conclusion that the squirrel was sm... |

There is nothing better than sleeping late on a dark rainy morning. Ah, but I can't let a little rain stop me from getting out and interacting with this great big beautiful world!!!! Rain is no more than LIQUID SUNSHINE!!!! Simply because it's raining when you wake up doesn't mean it's going to be a bad day!! I'm off to go splashing in the puddles!! |

I like your answer JnmBrown. The very best things in life are free. I know a man who never won anything in his life. He went gambling and hit the jackpot. He was so happy that he kept gambling and kept gambling until he lost everything he had. Sometimes money can get a person in a lot of trouble. |

Island 7. We are all spiritual beings in our true form. That much you do have right. You can not base your idea of whether God exists solely on the ideas of man. There are Ego problems everywhere. God is far beyond Ego problems. There will come a time when we will all get there as well. If you were to bump into God, you would have no problems getting along with Him. God can teach us all somethi... |

Selfless, huh? Everything you do in life comes back to you in time. When we are selfless, the good stuff always returns. As far as attachment goes, perhaps you should say attachments to the physical should be released. Our spiritual attachments will never be broken. Whether one believes in God or not, we will always be connected. With God guiding, we will all one day grow beyond Ego problems. W... |
