The old Zen master was coughing up blood, and he told his students that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer. He said to them, that nevertheless, I will stay in this body as long as God requires me to do so, but it does...

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, the Devil's henchmen are having a party, but all around them are sorely affected too. It is no party for them.

emptychair @Shiva49 Apparently, Winston Churchill once said, "If you are going through hell, keep going." I guess that would not apply to Satan, Russia, etc, as they want to live in Hell, not go through it. All pompous despots want to lead, and put themselves on the...

emptychair @Shiva49 They do not seem to care about money. They just want to make a name for themselves in history, it seems. Some religious leaders, like the Pope, should be more vocal about these warmongers, as nobody else seems to be speaking out loudly enough, just...

emptychair @Shiva49 The way things are going now, none of us will have enough fuel in our tank to get us into Heaven, or anywhere else, besides. Trundling through life is a whole lot costlier these days, and a lot of cutbacks are being forced onto all. I wonder if God...

The Zen monastery had both cherry trees, and cherry blossom trees, in its courtyard. Cherry blossom trees are ornamental, and cherry trees produce fruit. Reaching up to grab a branch of the vine, the Zen master picked a...

emptychair @Shiva49 Trump said Biden was unfit for presidency, and it seems nearly all Presidents are so unfit, all the way back to Nixon, and beyond, they were all misfits.

emptychair @Shiva49 Trump certainly likes to evoke fear, and hatred, as he wants to be remembered in any way he can be. Yes, we have nutters here from time to time, who wreak havoc on innocents, sometimes with guns, and sometimes, using a car, or a truck, as a weapon of...

emptychair I have heard, and seen in person, a few bogus, so-called spiritual masters here, who chain-smoked, claiming that this grounding of their body factor, also allowed them to stay in their physical body, and not float away from it. Funny enough though, this could...

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, it seems that we still have cavemen within our midst, as life allows a strange mix of different options to exist, and God seems to let anything go these days, even strange mutant humans, with two heads exist, which would have died quickly years...

emptychair @Shiva49 I first read your last line as, " The whole set-up is humorous beyond our ken." But, on second thought, it might be humorous to God, but not much to the rest of us, unless we become wise enough to see the humour behind God's creation, where he is...

emptychair @Shiva49 A soul reset must affect God as well, if each soul remains a part of God's oneness too. Can God reset himself? Perhaps he does, if he is just the big bang of scientists, and he night just start off again, with a new big bang, but what is behind the...

I do not know about you, guys. Through the years of my existence, I had observed and experienced that death is coming to someone or people close to my heart. It must be weird to think about it, but it does happen. For me, you can...

emptychair @Shavkat That is certainly chilling, for your Aunt, and you, to have the same dream of you dying. I do not think that dreaming of death is always about physical death, though. Perhaps, you were thinking that you would have rather died than your mother, and...

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, God has an eagle eye, but does he also have a blind eye? Would a God of love ever press the reset button again, or would he more work out some other way to work with what he's got, and so bring about a resurrection to love in each created soul...

emptychair @Shiva49 The ones in charge have lost any contact with the common folk, and just carry out there own agendas, regardless of costs, and consequences. The innocents become cannon fodder in any war.

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, it is more true than ever that when a leaf falls off a tree in Iran, caused by a dropped bomb, we all suffer for it, all around the world too. This is known as the "Butterfly Effect." A butterfly’s wings (if there are still any butterflies left...

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, to be a wolf in sheep's clothing is the norm here, and not many remain meek as sheep, and loving to all around them, as they want to snap at others, and bite them, if they can, with the sharper teeth of their hidden wolf self instead.

emptychair @Shiva49 Hopefully God is behind each story too, as the master play writer in each story, but alowing us still to play our part as best we see fit to play it. Most of us, these days, do not feel close to God, as the turmoils of life drag us away from him,...
