"Give me a child for the 1st 7yrs of his life and I'll give you back a Catholic for life"
The audacity of installing faith through fear of punishment into a child's mind is Godless. This Christian mythology is pushed into these innocent minds as fact...as reality when it is really a belief system. At this early stage of child development this is just brainwashing...nothing holy about it...and in America.
Are we also gonna have a presidential debate again this election cycle monitored by tele-evangel preacher in a mega church...in America??? I am so sick of Christians of this sort who have been brainwashed to accept complete fantasies and insist on indoctrinating everyone who will listen closing their minds to any fact or information that doesn't fit into their "belief" system.
Here is the reality of God. To say I think is like saying I digest my food or beat my heart. Thinking happens. WE are not our thinking we are the observer of our thinking. Awakening happens as we learn to separate thinking from awareness.
Being in the present moment without thinking...is Being.
God doesn't do anything. He's God...there's nothing he needs and certainly nothing he 'forgot' to do. He's already done it. He just IS. Getting the picture...God just IS and awareness without thinking is Being and that is what God IS. When you are in the present moment without thinking...just being aware of your breathing...being here now...then you are beyond the world of form and one with all Being. Looking into a cloudless blue sky is formless infinity and just being aware...without thought is temporarily being one with God who just is...but then thinking takes over pulling us back into the world of forms...into our separation identity. This is the God reality.
