I think I'm attributing correctly: Scott: How could the world be swallowed up by evil? Do you mean humanity? The world, to me, is a big planet...and the only thing that can really swallow it up is the Sun if something crazy happens like a change in the size of the Sun. Carl G: By swallow up, I meant...

Scott wrote: yet how do you ever know a person is a sage? That's entirely based on a leap of faith. If I think Kevin Solway is enlightened, I have to suspend my thinking and just believe! If sages are rare, then it should be easy to spot them because they stand out, right? For a particular person, I...

From Kevin: As for the one God, I call the Totality, the All, "God", but that is entirely different to what we were talking about. So you think we are speaking of a personal God, God as being a person. I for one cringe when I hear people reject the "Old Man In The Sky With a White Beard." He is a pe...

I think sky is correct in that God's Will ultimately prevails. Enlightenment can only be accord with that Will. The sage is always active, always learning. That's how one gets to be sage. Open your heart to God. That's all He wants you to do. The rest will happen, it has to happen. unwise, jump in, ...

Not exactly. Some religions teach god loves you. SOme teach god doesn't care, and you're "bad" for caring. Don't misunderstand the middle quote! First, it's not original with me. Second, it doen't say ALL PATHS lead to the top of the mountain, just that there are many that do. And it doesn't mentio...

Interesting that you read UB in your teens, I have trouble with it now. I wouldn't have had the time or the intellectual basis for appreciating it when I was in my teens. But then this is the Genius Forum. I also read Martin Gardner's somewhat disjointed critique of the UB and found that even harder...

Everyone should make a mad rush to the Urantia Book, smash into it, then bounce off, and come back here in new a formation.

In almost all of the literature I have read concerning the Inner Self and how humans have strived to perfect It, extreme caution is urged upon anyone attempting to "arouse" the serpent of Kundalini from its natural repose. I should point out that I am acutely unqualified to guide anyone in this area...

I am new to this forum, and like a bee to honey, like a fly to doggy doo-doo, I find myself drawn to this wonderful thread. The answer is yes, the coiled serpent of Kundalini is real. It resides at the base of your spine and it is as real as your arm or leg. I have seen my own uncoil and begin its j...
