Harvest as Salvation

[Richard]

A life in which my "inside life" only matters does not make sense to me. There is something missing here if we are not thinking as a whole as well as individuals.

quite so. if only 'inside life' mattered, a creation in which there were multiple entities would not be a reality. it is a reality as of now. therefore, it is not 'only inside'.

Okay, here we have a "point" to something. The "point" of "Ra" was to develop an "inside life" of love and wholeness. We all live inside our minds. There is no escaping that.

Hogey, you said "imagination is reality". Well, this is correct but it doesn't mean that what we imagine becomes "real". It means that our imagination exists. We live with this imagination.

Follow the logic. We are our minds first and foremost. Consciousness "started it all". ... But wait! I have this body too. Okay, first I am a mind and this is connected to this physical body and its chemical makeup. ... But wait! There is this intangible stuff like we know what each other are thinking but this isn't possible. Okay, try again, first mind, then body, now spirit. Got it. mind/body/spirit. ... but wait! it's soooo complicated. these three parts are obviously connected, but the possibilities are endless and they shift with every moment. Right, make that a mind/body/spirit complex. Whew, are we through? .... Oh! We act as a society whole of m/b/s's if we expand are view....

Practical spirituality, Monkey?

"....The "point" of "Ra" was to develop an "inside life" of love and wholeness..."

Seems like we lose track of that simple statement in amongst the philosophical discussions... and arguments.

I don't know the future and I fully realize that about all I can accomplish rests within my sphere of influence. But if enough of us positively affect those around us...that is the seed of change.

Hogey, I think about a golden age all the time. Of how it could be. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Do I actually believe that I will see that world in the time I have left on this rock? No, but in the back of my mind hope still reigns.

In the meantime, though, there is life and what we make of it....as we travel the road to harvest..or not (after death)
