    Re: Meta-physics - there's no room in here for two.

    The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Book One Verse 33
    By cultivating attitudes of friendliness towards the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and disregard toward the wicked, the mind stuff retains its undisturbed calmness.

    This verse from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali can be a guiding light in keeping a relaxed and serene mind. Here Patanjali gives us four keys: friendliness, compassion, delight and disregard. There are only four kinds of locks in the world. Keep these four keys always with you, and when you come across any one of these four locks you will have the proper key to open it.

    So what are these four locks? - the happy people, unhappy people, the virtuous and the wicked. At any given moment, you can fit any person into one these four locks. When you see a happy person, use the friendliness key. Why does Patanjali say this? Because even four thousand years ago there must have been people who were not happy at seeing others happy. It is still the same now. Suppose somebody drives up in a big new car, parks in front of a large palatial house and gets out. Some other people are standing on the pavement in the hot sun getting tired. How many of those people will be happy? Not many. They will be saying 'See that big car? She doesn't work you know or who does she think she is?'

    Invisible Love.

    ECSTATIC RELATIONS is about the invisible love glue that holds the universe together.

    Real love is the expression of the divine and the universe, it has no restrictions.

    The eye by which I see God is the same as the eye by which God sees me.
    My eye and God's eye are one and the same - one in seeing, one in knowing, one in loving.

    Meister Eckhart

    "Those who say 'they will die first and then rise' are in error. If they do not first receive the resurrection while they live,
    when they die they will receive nothing." (Gospel of Philip)




    The law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant.
    A consequence of this law is that energy (God) cannot be created or destroyed.

    “There’s only one thing that matters in life.

    One thing.

    Figure that out, the rest of it means nothing.”
