Re: Taliban, Ulster, Iran, Religion, work Colleague and next door Neighbour

I would agree. Hate is simply a lack of love, like darkness is a lack of light. Love makes others the center of attention, a lack of love leaves only ego to make decisions, hence what we know as hate.

Good points, each one, and great question, what is hate? Some would say it is the opposite of love, but my sense is that hate is centered in the self and it's ego?

What I really want is to create value by using my imagination and creativity. I finally feel that I am beginning to embark on that journey as I have started writing and illustrating a childrens book.

Ha, very true. Thanks Kabelle. You have been supporting a another cause recently and I see you have a good heart. The schools initiative is a good thing as education can save these children from poverty thinkng. Help spread the word. The more who hear about it the more will donate.

Your posts resonates also that of a local saying in the Philippines: 'A broom is useless when it only has one tiny stick.' Thanks for sharing your passion. I may consider promoting your cause.

Jim,

This is a fabulously easy way to have purpose in your life. You managed to sum it up so succinctly, others take pages and a lot of words. Brilliant!

I also found the Celestine Prophecies to be really beneficial. Have you read his non-fiction workbook for it?

Re: Why Are You Here? What’s Your Purpose? Part 2

Jim Murdoch — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:14:29 -0000

Hi GT, I am sending the article to your email.
What seems to be the generally agreed on, is that we forget at birth why we came. But there may be lessons to be learned and a path to trod before we are ready to learn that purpose. I would recommend "The Celestine Prophecies" which portrays this in a novel. Warning, though. Those books can become addictive ;)
Thanks for stopping by and reading.
Jim

Re: Why Are You Here? What’s Your Purpose? Part 2

GT — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:52:55 -0000

This is really interesting. I have thought all along that we are born hard-wired for something we wanted to do in life. What I can't explain is if we knew this before we were born, why is it so tough to know it once we're grown?

I would love to have a copy of Proctor's Purpose, Vision and Goals please.

Thanks.

Jim, I would like "Purpose, Vision and Goals" please.? Thanks.
One word: zen web dev at gm ail dot com

Regarding your Part 2 [since it seemed I could not comment on it there], I would like to say that I find it understandable people not believing they have specific purposes in this life. I really do. I blame it in part to so many things I don't want to sully your site with here but suffice it to say our *information superhighway and get rich quick* idealogies are not helping, in my opinion.

It took a lot of my own cleaning house internally to get what my own purpose was. It also took, "The Purpose Driven Life" and discovering who I was.

I think your suggestions are ideal...to make those lists.

Thank you so much for being here!
Your EC pal,
Samsara

The workings of the mind? How about the workings of the brain! After all, the mind is a product of the brain. Just because when you see a sexy girl you get an erection doesn't mean you had free will to do so. The sexy girl stimulated your brain to fire neurons which then sent signals to your "down there" to become erect.

Why are you trying to reprogram your mind? As if you had a choice. Of course there were conditions from experiences that determined you to do so. The very causality that you think your are bypassing determined your attempts!

"I recognize that my results are caused by my past mindsets. My new mindsets are bringing me now the desired results, meaning I am control and I create the circumstances."

Your logic doesn't follow. If you really recognize that your results are caused by my past mindsets then you should know that your actions are determined, not "I am in control." You think your "desired" results were freely chosen? Of course not, any desires your have were determined too!

Unless you believe you are here for a specific reason then there is no point in trying to find out.

Your point being?

Re: Why Are You Here? What's Your Purpose? Part 1

Jim Murdoch — Sun, 25 May 2008 07:55:27 -0000

Hi Travis, no offense, but you do not understand the workings of the mind. I am not a quantum mechanics expert, but I have read of experiments which show how the human mind can influence atoms. On the personal level I myself have recognized these patterns, or paradigms, and that they came from past environments and religious systems. I have now cleared those patterns and am now in the process of reprogramming my mind with new patterns, but those of my choosing. I recognize that my results are caused by my past mindsets. My new mindsets are bringing me now the desired results, meaning I am control and I create the circumstances.
As for purpose, this is obviously a spiritual question. Unless you believe you are here for a specific reason then there is no point in trying to find out.

Re: Why Are You Here? What's Your Purpose? Part 1

morgantj — Sun, 25 May 2008 03:33:47 -0000

Any attempt to break free from being conditioned by patterns was in effect a result of a pattern. As much as I would like to believe we could do that, I would just be kidding myself. Any attempt to break free from the patterns that determine our actions, identity, and life, would still be just another outcome of the income we have been subject to.

You are yearning to break free because you have recognized these patterns that indicate it is a deterministic environment in which you are part of and have no control over. And like I said this "wanting to break free" was also caused by the very patterns we would like to be free of. So far, I have not found any evidence that we can be free from causality. And even if you introduce the randomness that quantum mechanics suggest may exists, we still have no more control over randomness then we do a strictly deterministic environment.

As far as purpose. It's subjective. This search for purpose is just us looking for something to motivate us to act in an environment we know is already controlling us.

Re: What is Intuition?

Your welcome, Samsara. Thanks for the visit.

Re: What is Intuition?

LivingSamsara — Sat, 17 May 2008 11:22:04 -0000

I believe that intuition is a lost ability to receive messages from God. This is our built in ability to communicate with the universe. Inventors will also tell you that their ideas come from their intuition, or from some unknown source. This source is the spiritual connection we have with God and every being in Heaven and Earth. It is like a spiritual, infinite Google, an unending source of wisdom and knowledge. All we need to do is to tap into it and receive the information it delivers.

Precisely and brilliant! I was going to comment with exactly the same sentiment.

I also further believe that the multisensory person - or Highly Sensitive Person - has the ability to acknowledge his/her intuition [or intuitive voice] more readily than others I see [who tend to abide this physical world more than spiritual].

Thanks for seeing this and communicating it.

Great post Jim. it is very true that we often simply want want want, control by our own ego. Interesting fact indeed: "It is in our holy books yet even the most religious amongst us ignore this law" Thanks

How right you are, Jack. I have first hand experience of such a deceiver. Its take take all the way.
All the best with your writing.

I write about con men. After reading this it is only apparent that the gap is so far from religious thought of any kind that you've gotta wonder if these scam artists are even living on the same planet with genuinely honest, principled people.
