You want to feel and experience God? Go get some. Go out and bring God along with you in your day. Include God with you everywhere you go... or at least stop and remember... that here you stand in the middle of your day... in that "thinking of myself MOST of the time"... with the opportunity to turn away from that and get bact into the stream of life.<br /><br />We don't have to beat ourselves up through this process. Why? Because it says right there in our nightly review, "When we retire at night, we constructively review our day." <br /><br />It's simple. It's just an instruction to follow. We have the opportunity to just stop beating ourselves up, doubting, resisting, etc., to turn and carry on to instruction B. Ok, back to beginning, did A, did B, doing C...McGowdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866948381728741656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181024902947380214.post-14253003986825221462013-04-23T22:19:06.819-06:002013-04-23T22:19:06.819-06:00Some parts are and some aren't.

When it was first suggested it was recommended I start in the middle of the book - The Life of Christ - pretty easy reading.<br />The first half of the book covers the millenias on Earth's evolution before that<br />event. The cosmology is pretty complex but the Papers on Adam & Eve, The Lucifer Rebellion and the First Human Family (Not Adam & Eve) are very intriguing. Pass if you wish, but an an inquiring mind like yours will miss out on a great adventure, IMO. pawporrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751627382065772034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181024902947380214.post-57942848649376800682013-04-23T21:33:29.576-06:002013-04-23T21:33:29.576-06:00Your Urantia Book sounds interesting.

If so, I think I'll have to pass.McGowdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866948381728741656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181024902947380214.post-39661130622065990982013-04-23T20:00:02.916-06:002013-04-23T20:00:02.916-06:00As listed in my profile, I obtain my faith inspira...As listed in my profile, I obtain my faith inspiration from 2 books = Alcoholics Anonymous and the Urantia Book which I find to be astounding but very deep and hard to grasp because it is written at post-doctorate level. I attend study groups for assistance and find them to be very enriching in answering my many questions about God, Christ and the universe and how Earth fits into the big plan.<br />I found my spirituality in AA after many years as an agnostic fall-away Catholic.<br />I was so glad to see Francis I ascend to Popehood. I believe he will clean up the Curia and start to decisively deal with the Church's problems. To me, he lives his life according to the example set by Christ.pawporrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751627382065772034noreply@blogger.com
