Steve Marshall @Shiva49 That is a long time after the initial issue, and it shows that time is often immaterial, as things happen for us only when we are ready for them to happen. God's time is not our time, until he makes it so. In my dreams, we talk to each other...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 That is very interesting, that karma like that can be resolved in dreams, even when someone involved has died. I knew that people can come into our dreams who have died, as my mother, and father have done many times since they died, but I never...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, I am surprised how the world does seem to keep going, when so much is against it, so-called global warming, war after war, droughts, floods, illness, and yet it keeps marching steadily on, until now. Hope is what must be driving it, our hope,...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, even my own mother claimed that she could see her mother there waiting for her, shortly before she died. There is more here than meets the eye, and much food for thought, in some of these anecdotes about death, and dying.

Are you just compelled to do certain things. Like someone who gossips for example, unable to keep a secret. Or perhaps your obsessive about something. I'm compulsive about always knowing where my keys, wallet, and cell phone are...

Steve Marshall @dgobucks226 Yes, the more luggage we carry, the more it weighs us down. We should only get what we need, without the extra paddings.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Plus a third option, might come in too, if God decided just to take him, for his own reasons. It is said that some masters know when they are going to die, and die on cue, but this would mean that they could twist God's arm somewhat, and I doubt if...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 All are playing their part in the whole, as nothing could be superfluous, or lack purpose for its being. Human life does seem to be ruling the roost here, for now, but a spanner could easily be thrown into our midst, if some advanced aliens turned...

Steve Marshall Yes, if we try to understand a message only from our mind, we miss much of the deeper meaning of the message, but to bring the message into our living life, we need our mind on board too, as our heart can lead us, but our mind can more practically, and...

Steve Marshall Some people try to be what they think that they are, and end up just being a good tennis player, for example. We need to reach past our own thoughts to become aware of what purpose God created us for. We can still be a tennis player, but we can use this...

Steve Marshall Those points are well made, siva. Life can take its twists though too. When life has been meaningfully lived, some life event can shatter this understanding, and we are back at the bottom of the ladder again, having lost all connection to meaning, and...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Rockefeller's grandson David lived to be 101 too, and it is claimed that he had multiple heart transplants along the way. He must have really wanted to surpass his grandfather in age. When we have plenty of money, it can be used to buy us better...

Steve Marshall Who made the evil parts in us then? I believe our basic blueprint was for good, and when we move ourselves away from being at one with God, we create a division in ourselves then, where evil is then created in the other side of the division.

Steve Marshall Yes, every part of creation was made for a purpose, and each one of us has our own unique purpose too, so we should try to fulfil, that purpose that God created us for, as best we can too.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Some people in nursing homes here, at death's door, still get up, eat, and go about their life, right up until the last moment, they do what they can with what they have got, while others give up early, and just stay in bed, waiting for the...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 It is hard to do when the chips are down, and health has deteriorated, but at those times, we can still reach into inner reserves, and keep fighting the good fight too.

While staying at our niece’s house, I saw this leaf literally hanging by a thread. I called Vince thinking he might like a photo of it and this is it. It looked like it was suspended in mid-air. Of course, it’s been caught by a...

Steve Marshall @ptrikha_2 Yes, once other emotions other than love start spinning threads between us we are connected then by animosity, and by negative mindstuff, and the heart connection is being ignored, and often then it is lost too.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Perhaps, God is staying his hand, and will play it eventually, as he has the best cards in his hand, and can trump the Devil with them at any time that he wishes to do so. Maybe, God is still giving us the chance to rise to the occasion in our own...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, God makes sure that nothing in creation is ever alike, not like a computer which gives you the same answers, over, and over, again, and so this shows that God is no AI computer, but far more real than that.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 If God stepped in, he might give a fatal heart attack to Putin, but even if he did, could we be ever sure that it was, in fact, God stepping in? Would God step in and alter his real time to go, if he is messing up bigtime here?
