:) And on a sincere note, anyone can try to listen for the rhythm first when with a beautiful poem. In this way one might come to be in tune with the source of its creativity. This then might show one the meaning of the words in a different way and/or it might inspire one to express this source...

Cheers. Would I be miles off the mark to say that these are basically data mining/advertising businesses dressed up as communications platforms with the added bonus of being propaganda networks?

Yes, sure. And I find his tone very different in those threads. Enjoyable, even :)

Do you ever read poetry? Just that poems are one way that universal themes can be expressed in many different ways. Might even find that the point of them can be to lure you into that which is beyond right or wrong, and in that way come to see life in a different light.

If I have an enjoyable conversation with someone about football, and both of us come away feeling more inspired and/or having learned something, is that an atheist, agnostic, religious or spiritual experience? Does it really matter? Either way, I find that conversation would have a different...

I would say that you can be atheist and have heart, and that you can call yourself religious/spiritual and not have heart. And vice versa.I’d imagine a fair few might experience life as a mixture of the above. But if the world he envisions is a reflection of what he wrote, then I’d say ‘no...

See, i reckon without heart, there will be the growth of a world populated by people that feel the need to write as you do, so as to think themselves superior, so as to cover up feelings of inferiority. Fortunately, there are plenty that would choose a way of life other than yours.

¨"1 John 4:18–19 “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us.”” from...

Won’t watch this so won’t comment in that way. But it would be kind of ironic if they were effectively making themselves slaves of the bible?

And if I changed the word ‘God‘ to ‘essence‘ and suggested that we are all joined in essence and that it’s nature is the beauty and majesty and abundance you speak of? That compassion and solidarity are true to our nature and it’s when we decide/learn to be out of tune with this nature that a...

lmao. Wait, there is one source you say? Might be onto something there -could write a book about it’?

Why might I call a tree a tree and a mexican call the very same tree ‘un árbol?’ Because they’re trying to describe the same thing but use different words? And that. at times, is how I see religions - arguing about who has the ‘right’ words whilst missing the point of the message. Quite...

That’s your understanding of religion and you can choose to go with that. I choose not to limit myself to your understanding.

Have you come across something like Thomas Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions? In that he may speak along the lines that there can be a growth in the understanding within one paradigm, then enough data may come along that doesn’t fit in to that paradigm so there can be growth/opening...

Would still need to fit into,eg, apple’s terms and conditions in order to be a success?

You don’t even know what my religious philosophy is or isn‘t. And in the main it’s the tone of your writing rather than whether you are religious or not, that speaks of heart or not. And I’m glad you found what I wrote hilarious, at least if you’re laughing then it served some purpose for you...

Yep. For me it can have different stages and qualities. Sometimes more trancy , sometimes more present and clear. I don’t have a handbook for this but if I were to guess/extrapolate as to where it’s leading then it would be along the lines of a clean, natural, beautiful grounded high. And then...

Cheers. Don‘t know if this will make sense - but years ago when I smoked, I sometimes used to find that I would become more attuned to music. As the night went on, I would find myself turning the volume down on the stereo in order to effectively keep the music at the same level in my experience...

I agree with you re definitions and it was in a piece that someone else wrote. I don’t even particularly agree with/like the writing style at times but it is more words to point to something - and if it is something that works for some great and if it isn’t, then fair enough.
