What is "The Root of all Evil"?

Politics.

The Highest Creative Intelligence has spoken the supreme admonishment...in no uncertain terms... "Partake of all in the Garden of The Tree of Life except from the fruit of The Tree of the knowledge of good and evil... This tree alone...is poison...

caveat: Not my political platform...


http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?RsrcID=2036
Video goodness...

Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.

The black theologian must reject any conception of God which stifles black self-determination by picturing God as a God of all peoples. Either God is identified with the oppressed to the point that their experience becomes God's experience, or God is a God of racism...The blackness of God means that God has made the oppressed condition God's own condition. This is the essence of the Biblical revelation. By electing Israelite slaves as the people of God and by becoming the Oppressed One in Jesus Christ, the human race is made to understand that God is known where human beings experience humiliation and suffering...Liberation is not an afterthought, but the very essence of divine activity. (A Black Theology of Liberation, pp. 63-64)

Yikes.

That is Wright and Obama. Do not forget that. This is their church. These are quotes from Cone who Wright says is the greatest black liberation theologist of all time.




I wonder how come more individuals have not brought this to light? I suppose if he is the Democrat nominee, there will be plenty of opportunity to open this can of worms more

Just more proof that the media is slanted.

The rebubs need to wait til he locks the nom. If he falls now, Hillary is there to carry the torch. Timing is everything.

The lines for a revolutionary war the likes of which the current generation cannot fathom are being drawn as you read this...first Nationally then internationally it will spread like a cancer...consuming all in its path.

How's that for one hell-of-a-Root? [start hoarding the groceries, gold and gunpowder now, 'the debauchery of mankind' is about to unfold... in the United States of Arabia]

Barrack H. Obama went to the Pearly Gates and there he met St. Peter.
Saint Peter said, "Who are you...?"
"Well Peter... I'm Barrack Hussein Obama...I did some great things in Chicago and I was The First... Black President!.
Peter; "Really...When did that happen?..."
Obama; "oh...about 25 minutes ago..."

Peace, Love and Equanimity for all...
D.

Good and bad are co-existential...

The more good...the more bad...

The Scales... are in Perpetual Motion...

This perpetual motion is what drives people...economies...and societies both locally and globally...

The microcosm is the reflection of the macrocosm...

I don't get the shocked raze G?...

What is your point?...

Do you not appreciate science? [only asking for clarity here G... respectfully 'not attempting' to banter with you Sir]

Science has proven the statement I made.

Is this thread degrading/degenerating into a... "turf-war" of sorts?

"It has long been decided that there are “things” and then there are “no things”. Yet the further we delve into matter, the further we verify the “space” between so-called particles." http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/j...csu/powersof10

~Nobody ToN.


At certain levels of spiritual awareness, the body appears to be an "it" instead of a "me," another object like the furniture in a room. It may seem comical that people still address the body as though it was the individual person, but there's no way to explain this state of awareness to the unaware. It's best to go about one's business, and allow Providence to handle the social adjustment. However, as one reaches bliss, it becomes very difficult to conceal that state of intense ecstasy. There's a common desire at this point to share this state with others and to use it for the benefit of all.

The most intense moments occur, since for no apparent reason,this state fluctuates not being completely stable at all, keep in mind there are also moments of great agony, and these times bring on periods of intense despair, a fear that one has been forsaken by the Presence, these falls make the path arduous, and to surmount these reversals requires great will. It finally becomes obvious that one must transcend this level or constantly suffer the excruciating "descent from grace." The glory of ecstasy, then, has to be relinquished, as one enters upon the demanding task of transcending duality, until one is beyond all oppositions and their conflicting pulls. But while it's one thing to happily give up the constraints of ego, it's quite another to abandon the golden chains of ecstatic joy. It feels as though one is giving up God, and a new level of fear arises, never before anticipated; this is the final terror of absolute aloneness. The purpose of the agonies, the dark nights of the soul, become apparent---they're so intolerable that their exquisite pain spurs one on to the extreme effort required to surmount them. When vacillation between heaven and hell becomes unendurable, the desire for existence itself has to surrendered. Only once this is done may one finally move beyond allness or nothingness, beyond existence or nonexistence. This culmination of the inner work is the most difficult phase, the ultimate watershed, where one is starkly aware that the illusion of existence one transcends here is irrecoverable. There's no returning from this final step, and this specter of irreversibility makes this last barrier appear the most formidable choice of all.

But in fact, in this final apocalypse of the self, the dissolution of the sole remaining duality---that of existence and non-existence, identity itself---dissolves in universal divinity, and no individual consciousness is left to choose.

The last step, then, is taken by God alone. This experience is known as metanoia.

.................................................. .......................GNOSIS.................................................. ................................



Awakening is a flowering of your innermost being.

It is a revelation of your essence,

hidden by long eons of self-delusion,
ignorance,
unbounded desires.








Enlightenment is an ending as well as a beginning:

the ending of the old, veiled, dark ego,

its longings, illusions, frustrations;
the beginning of a vast expanse,
an infinite field of the Unknown,
an adventure in consciousness.






It is a revolution:

it represents danger to the old way of life,

to old ways of thinking and living.






It is freedom from the known and the unknown;

from the real and the unreal;

from any appearance of division between you and Truth.



It is the abandoning of beliefs, dis-beliefs,
presumptions and stances,
self, ego,
call it what you will,
or call it nothing,
what it is.



It is the Path of the golden Dawn,
the Path out of the Night of Time
into the Bursting daylight of Eternal Now...






- Petros

TY for the post Drif.

The science used in such a manner is for home sec in the US at the cost of morality and freedom of movement being harassed a bother which is a win win for both the attacker and the attacked ... not the human condition. This in my mind is unethical use of science.

Being from Canada I have developed a certain innocence to world event of rational to a professed truth by opinion a need and express it in a manner of sarcastic wit in the never ending surprise and shocking views from the perspective of my platform ... thats all. Regards g

Once you're a pickle you can never become a cucumber again.

I don't want a pickle, just want to ride my motorsickle.
~ Oscar Wilde on Pickle A pickle is a deceased cucumber which has been preserved for all time from cellular deterioration and bacterial contamination and fungal growths and other disgusting stuff. Pickles are prepared by soaking them in brine to give them the discolouration and slipperiness discriminating diners crave. Some are cool as a cucumber, but the most excellent of people have membership in the jar the pickles are in. Pickles have been known to cause aids especially in peoples of Asian descendants. In fact if an Asian even comes in contact with a pickle, they should automatically wash there hands in a mixture of horse maneur, crunchy tacos, and windex in a 1 parts to 5 parts to 3.14159265 parts. Remember abstience is the key. In some rare cases pickles have been known to mutate. In a rare incident Hanky the Christmas Poo's brother acctually came in contact with a rare bacteria that cause it to turn in to Winky the Saint Patrich's Day Pickle. Recently there has been a world-wide occurrence of pickle's not growing to there ussualy size. If you had has the problem, then call Enzyte today because you could be at serious risk.
There is a school of thought that has gathered convincing evidence about the possibility of pickles actually being a race of super-intelligent alien life-forms, biding their time before their evolution where they shall claim dominance over earth. Many modern theologians have suggested that in fact pickles were God's finest creation, made in his image. Pickles are believed to communicate telepathically, spending the whole of their sorry, under-glass existence dreaming of the downfall of the human race. Many more sensible citizens have disputed this theory.
Also your mother makes a great pickle pie if you know what i mean
