		<description>Is no one aware, of what goes on outside of thier safety zone (country, etc). Count your blessings.

There is still suffering, violence, murder, and most definetly WAR. Nothing has changed from the beginning of time, just the method and madness, believing we have evolved to a higher point, how egotistical mankind is.

If you took the time to read, and understand the words within the book, you would then realize what the Author is trying to convey. Go on, I encourage you to try it. Read it, understand, and pray.</description>

		<description>In my opinion,it would be more appropriate to replace the word &quot;falls out&quot; in the title with &quot;when God descends from beyond the sky&quot;.
By doing this we begin to welcome him in the most respectable and majestic way. After all God is the almighty authority and so the least each one of us can do is to honour his incarnation in the most humble way.
Namaste

		<description>Can you hear the thud
  our God has fallen from the sky
  landed smack into you and me
  a fools game not to have seen it all along
  can you handle the pleasure and the pain
  of knowing it&#039;s useless to projectile all that blame...
  to avoid is the void seen in every nightmare...
  the dream letting go into that vast void
  free falling unraveling loose from a gossamer veil
  finding the answer was falling together
  floating to a gentler landing
  once thud shed free of humanities immature crud
  no longer a cranky lonely super stud
  but bridegroom to wholeness,
  true holiness flooding blessings to blood...

		<description>The Universe is  no result of evolution, it is the product of the Divine Essence, God, reality in action.

God, the Divine Essence of all that has life and not life, It does not sit nor stand, it is neither up or down, it does not reside in space for it is space.

The Divine Essence is Dark Energy and Energy is Intelligence and intelligence is motion, and motion is Time, so the Divine Essence, God, it has no beginning nor an ending, it is the verification of infinity, a Divine Intelligence that is in perpetual motion of going and coming and coming and going.

The Divine Essence has no need to create, by its mere presence all things are visible and invisible To Be and Not Be.

All things carnal, is because of the choices made in the process of living life.

All Life is Divine, but living that life become what you choose for it to be while in the process of living.

The Divine Essence, God, It does not create, by its Divine presence, it produce what is to be visible and not visible, having no instruction for life and nor for  the way you live it.

We all suffer or not, by the consequence from our life living action, which is based upon your decision and not the Divine Essence, God, which has no decision to make, just action to display.

		<description>I am a scientist.  Science has to do with cause and effect.  Can effects
have qualities that are not found in their causes?  Logic says no.  So
called enlightenment says yes.  Yes I can be an individual but God can
not. Yes to be an individual means to be separate.  Speculation about the Absolute Truth, on my part, can go on for zillions of lifetimes, at Einstein 
squared (if you get my drift) without myself even beginning to touch That
which is beyond  time and space. It is easy to claim that one has realized
That which is beyond time and space, but it ain&#039;t necessarily so.

To accept a definition of God as only impersonal, as in &quot;is one, is light, is love&quot;, is folly, is foolish, is all to common, even when it is claimed as en-
lightment.  It is a great example of claiming an effect to have an aspect
that its cause does not.  I ask us to consider that perhaps God is, at once,
both personal and impersonal.

I know a sage, that is teaching me about who I am, beyond time and space, within time and space.  He teaches that I am eternally the same person, wherever I am, but that I can definitely have a misconception about who I am, within time and space. He teaches that time and space are correlative phenomena, that the Supreme Person can easlily play with, as a child plays with a ball. (since I am from the Hoosier State, as in
Indiana, US, my teacher allows me to envision a child playing with a basketball)(to use the same metaphor, God is like Larry Bird and the lover
of God, is like, well myself, as a basketball player :&gt;)).

The point is, to tango takes two.  To share love, takes two. Either mater-
ially, or otherwise.  Bliss can be shared by two persons, who know who they are.  Beware of my speculations.  Selah...........................</description>

		<description>Thanks for clarifying that, Linda. I think we agree on that point, but it really wasn&#039;t how it came out in your first post. I am an editor of law books and I think that a lot of times people don&#039;t realize that they are not making themselves clear. But I&#039;m glad we agree on your initial point.</description>

		<description>Hello Doris and thanks for your response.

First, my comment wasn&#039;t directed at Andrew Cohen and I&#039;m more than certain that he recognizes of what I speak. And, if I&#039;m speaking to Andrew I address him directly.  My intention was more broadly based at some of the other comments made here and at the particular (and peculiar) expression of those identified with postmodernism as &quot;my truth is THE Truth.&quot; I was attempting to bring to light that &quot;perspectives&quot; co-arise with unconscious and conscious motivations, and that any such arising, no matter how subtle, is not Ultimate Truth.

That said, I have to disagree with you in your reading of my comment as &quot;more politically correct than spiritual.&quot;  It is my &quot;perspective&quot; that all is Spirit in Being, and all is simultaneously compelled to Become Spirit in actuality, so any expression, whether modern, post-modern, etc., is a perspective born of involution and evolution of Spirit realizing itself in, and thru, us, hence; the more perspectives, or levels of consciousness, one includes in their awareness, thus differentiating and transcending those levels, the more enlightened, or nondual, one becomes. This is my perspective because this is what I&#039;ve cultivated as my own awareness. 

To be an integrally aware person means one holds no prejudice against other levels/perspectives, but instead, one has cultivated differentiation, and value distinctions, by including the enduring insights of those perspectives so that there are no unconscious motivations working at keeping levels fragmented and separate. If I or you or anyone holds a prejudice against any other level of consciousness, be it archaic, magic, mythic, rational, or post-rational,etc., then that has its effect not only in &quot;my&quot; awareness, but in consciousness itself.  So the ability to take multiple perspectives via value distinctions means that I am NOT an agent that keeps Spirit from realizing itself through me.  Understand?  This is an important point and I direct it straight at post-modernism because I witness, in every aspect of life, the rather disturbing issue of which I was addressing above.

I welcome any response to any points I have made,
Thanks again,
Linda Nada</description>

		<description>Nada, we certainly have different interpretations of Andrew’s message. I must disagree with your statement “If you want your perspective honored, then you must honor others’ perspectives with just as much devotion that you have for your own.” That statement is more politically correct than spiritual. To do that, one would have to give as much importance to the others’ perspectives of god or being as he does his own, and then his own perspective would no longer hold a place of imminence in his own spiritual life, thus maintaining the duality we are working so hard to transcend. We should recognize whatever level of soul the other person is experiencing and respect that, but we have to move on.</description>
