shaw-n will become famous soon enough
What is funny(sadly so) is that if a person did use drugs then they are just discounted automatically as having imagined or hallucinated whatever they experienced.
The fact that Francis Crick discovered DNA during his frequent LSD experiences shows one instance where such experiences are not at all hallucinations.
Sure there is no shortage of nutters out there, but the whole field of altered states of consciousness via substances and compounds has gotten a very bad bit of press.
I am not advocating drug usage, just making an observation.

The expereince I speak of is not of this world
It is to expereince infinity and to become it.
It is to expereince absolute Love in infinity
The undescribeable


What is quite strange is that if you had asked me for a name after Revelation I would have said "LOVE"

Not God nor Jesus

That said they are the symbols I use for now - while we still have a need of symbols

As for Religions - I am not, as most I have looked into since have very little in common with Truth
Generally the core teaching is accurate but that is often covered with Fear thoughts, control and rituals etc and thus the message misenterpreted
One fear thought for instance would be the need to build a church - Perhaps a way to try and earn your place?

Yet the place is already given to all - All that is needed is its acceptance

Of course all are affected in some way by Religions, most of our rituals and laws are governed by Religious thinking - The news is full of the innocent and the guilty

I do remember as a child being told that my Mum was going to see God - I watched as she walked into a shop with a set of stairs
I went to school and my assignment (i was about 5) was to write about my weekend
I said that I had been to Gods house and drew a nice little picture of it

Turns out it was the bookies lol


What I am saying is that I didnt do the Bible or Religious stuff
I spent a few months an hour a week with the JWs but i just didnt get it so left it for God to show me
If there was a God

Since everyone alive today will be dead within 140 years , can we say that the ''revelations'' are a continuing concept which continues ?

This puts an unusual concept into unusual reality .

Everyone alive today will reach their own revelation or ''end'' within a 140 year life span or measurement of time .

So this allows the Bible revelations to be seen as an intermittent kind of deal and it puts our very own lives this minute into a category of ''we are all in this together'' because we will all be gone together by the 140 years give or take a year .

This puts a certain reality that each person born today and the rest of us have a common bond which is that we will all be gone by 140 years .

This then puts more importance to our brothers and sisters today as we have this common bond that each and every one of us today are selective to this present life because only the people alive or born today will have this bond .

Humans here today will all be dead and perhaps this means that after we die we all share our after-life with the same ones who shared the 140 year lifespan .

So if you live a life of crime and horror you will go with those people when you die but if you spent your life caring and helping people you will be with those people when you die .

Be caring and kind and be with that kind of person unless you want the 'afterlife' to be with those who are bad etc .

But either way we here today have the common bond that 'we' will be in death together within 140 years of when we were born .

I am not suggesting that there is no second coming of Christ but only that our 'after-life' will be determined by our living life today and now .
