Thankyou Webwanderer,

I believe any teaching from God should have you jumping in the aisles, so to speak, if it doesn't it is not from God!
But my head and OCD tells me to watch out.

Thankyou for your kind reply.

Hi all, I have just finished reading The Supergods by Maurice M Cotterell and i am depressed about it to say the least. In it he states that in the Popol Vuh (the ancient scriptures of the Maya) the gods wanted to create creatures (us) that would pro-create and worship them because because of the me...

Hi there Learner, It's all very well in saying that we can love and have sex or just have sex with whom we like but isn't that why there are so many STI's these days. Young people having sex and abandoning all sense of sexual morality hasn't got people very far. And that is without the abortions tha...

Hi ya,

Hi there, At the moment, am reading Jesus and the Goddess which is about the first christians who were supposedly Gnostics. Reading it was very much like reading the Power of Now and a lot of Christs' teachings, Gnostics and Power of Now are totally similar. It mentioned the gnostic christians being...

Hi ya HandfullaMinerals, I have been taking Seroxat for about 13 years. I take it for OCD and i believe that i have ADD. It is because of a lack of chemical in my brain. I too felt bad about taking meds for 'mental' health problems. But let me ask you this, If you had a heart problem or diabetes, et...

hi there all thanks for your replies. all my life i have lived from the outer purpose, maybe that's why i've found life frustrating. i am trying now to do the opposite, so i don't know the results of that yet! i have a lot of shoulds in my life (probably from a catholic upbringing) when i see a home...

Hi there all, I feel at this age (44) that my life is aimless or is it the ego that tells me that? Let me explain. I am married but have no children but have a little dog whom i adore. I have a part time job as a waitress which i enjoy and i read, walk with my dog, computer, shop, etc in my spare ti...

Hi there Learner, I sometimes think the same thing but with me it is violence in books. I love those archeological thrillers where the hero is looking for a lost treasure or biblical code, etc. There is always a murder in it but i don't enjoy for that of course. I enjoy the chase and finding out wha...

Hi there Salem, Good question! I had a breakdown about 12 years ago in which i was sure that i was destined to go to hell! Whilst going for treatment with my psychiatrist i popped into an internet cafe and googled hell and got a website entitled 'What the hell is hell'. Since that day i slowly belie...

hi there,
I believe that the bible teaches that everything happens according to Gods' plan, the purpose of Gods' intention. St Paul speaks of this often.

Hi there all, I would like to believe that everything happens for a reason otherwise life seems like one sick joke. I also don't believe that one man i.e. Hitler, is able to kill millions of people by his strength alone. He had to have been helped, i.e. by God/Universe. This may sound blasphemous bu...

Hi there all, I have been following the teachings in Eckhart Tolles' books and audio for a couple a years now. The first time i read the Power of Now, i stopped taking my medication completely and became ill until i retook them again. My husband was very cross about this. I am starting to reread the...

Hi there,

I think i know what the inner body feels like but correct if i'm wrong! When i am still and try to say feel the life in my hands, i feel a pulse, a throbbing like a heart beat.
Is this the inner body?

Thankyou you both for your support.
I don't feel that my medication cover up the ego so i have to still be very present to avoid being dragged down by it.
