Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Some Spiritual masters even claim to be God. I met one guy, who told us all, "l speak only truth," and after that statement, l was wary of what he said, as nobody has a monopoly on truth, only God.

The old Zen master had lived in the Zen monastery for all of his long life, and his friends were mostly only his fellow monks, and students. There was one other friend, though, who would visit with him, about once every...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Quite often the master already knows who the next master will be, and so trains, and prepares, them for the role. Yes, maybe this curious student will be the next Zen master of this monastery.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 I am sure that a few old Testament prophets put their ideas across as being God's ideas. It is easy to be fooled into thinking God speaks through us, when we have an inflated mind, and exaggerated sense of who we think that we are. God only guides...

Steve Marshall The old Zen master gave a few hints to the student, and left him to work the rest out for himself. Feeding someone too much in one sitting just stuffs their minds with excessive knowledge, that they can not yet process. The old master spoke to the student's...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Consciousness, and awareness have increased over the years, as we no longer round up witches, and burn them at the stake, for example. Even God has increased in wisdom too, it seems, as he no longer fights wars for a favoured race, nor destroys...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Einstein agreed with you, by saying it comes out of the blue, as a leap in consciousness. Sincerity of purpose helps to align one with their higher self, so they can hear its messages louder then too, I expect.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, misery might be self-inflicted because people do not find their inner peace, from the inner physician. And yet, this quote might be true too. "Everything changes when you start to emit your own frequency, rather than absorbing the frequencies...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 At least, you acknowledge that you have a conscience, as atheists wouldn't even admit to that. Our conscience is a part of our inner self, or soul-self, so it is usually good to listen to our higher self, and yet, it is also connected to God, so we...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 The New Testament says that in a few places, that we must go through Jesus Christ to be saved, and to make it into Heaven; funny enough though, there is nothing in the Old Testament that says that too. Any thinking persons would think twice about...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Enlightenment does not seem to be something, that the Pope's of this world aspire too, as it is more limited to Eastern ideas. The Christian religion more seems to dwell on the idea that we are born in sin, and have the tendency to sin in us, and we...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 That two term restriction has been in place, since 1951, a long time, and maybe it was set up so that people like the Putins, and Trumps, of this world cannot rule for too long a period.

Steve Marshall Yes, we can all aspire to be happy in our being of ourselves, when we are true to ourself first, and live our life, not from a grandiose bombasity, of ego, and an inflated mindblown sense of self, but from the humility of a humble heart, aligned to God, and to...

Steve Marshall I am not so sure about that, as somebody like Donald Trump would be better of not being himself, with all of his pomposity, but be more humbly, the self that God gave him to be, instead, of the false self, that he thinks that he needs to be instead. We should...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 The physical world does all it can to attract minds to it, with its froth and bubble, when anything real must come from a deeper place than just the froth and bubble on the top of the ocean.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 It is good to take a backstep to reconsider considered actions, before we take more front steps and implement our previously proposed, and hastily thought, actions, or thoughts.

Steve Marshall All intelligence in the Universe has originated out of it from God, and so come into it at his behest. The charioteer pulls the real strings, and all of us only think that we do. Without staying linked to our creator, we think only muddied thoughts, never...
