I have been fortunate to have been engaged in a number of very interesting discussions in my last three (3) blogs. These blogs were: Godhead - Am I It, Or, Are You The One?; Dancing With Angels – Not God, No My Darling, But Houris; and, My Religion – No Religion, All Faith, Yes My Sweet, Total Bliss. If you have participated in these discussions before, I would like to ask you to please participate in this one also. A number of my dear friends asked me to address the issue of Miracles, and I have tried to do it in this piece. If you have never engaged us in these discussions in the past, please feel free to participate fully now. Thank You.

The goddess of miracles, totally bewildered, yet still anticipating
All prayers, from all Saints, yet no delivery, where’re the miracles, yes my darling, save us O’ Lord

The Prophets of the old, all anticipating, with much joy, for the very miracle
The blessing of divinity, in all its glory, yet it never came, all by and by

The wisdom of all ages, thoroughly encompassing, within and without, all fairy tales
All within you, yes my darling, nothing without you, search for it, and you shall find it, in all its glory, all through and through

They tell me, that our sweet Jesus, indeed walked on water 
I tell you my darling, believe in yourself, first and foremost, then if Jesus walked on water, you can indeed move the mountain

Show me no superstition, no my sweet, but the dream of the beloved, in all its manifestation 
Times indeed come and go, yes my darling, only truth shall prevail, not just, a bunch of hocus-pocus

The beauty of a maiden, my true love, in her heavenly glory, all totally bedazzled
Come my sweet, be my maiden, our true love, over-flowing, the glory of heaven, all manifest

I say unto you, that indeed, if there’s a God, there must be a miracle
Search not that miracle, no my darling, in the holy books, but within you, as you are, its very manifestation

Come my sweet, hold my hands, as we embark, on this path of reality
Not a path of delusions, nor a path of moronic fanfare, no my darling, but indeed, this very path of truth, and reality 

Each idea, and the very thoughts of conception, ingrained within its fabric, the very germ of infinity
Yes my sweet, our destiny, the very love of our salvation, embedded, within the bosom of infinity

As they linger on, in coming to pass, from the infinity past, to the very present 
Nurture it my darling, in all its glory, the mother of creation, in your womb, all by and by 

Remember my sweet, my infinity, not your love, but the very truth of our salvation
Will help us, and sustain us, in its full glory, till the infinity yet to come, all by and by

I listened to the music-video, and it was absolutely beautiful :)

I want you to know that you have a Sweet Spirit, and a Very Kind Heart :)

There's no question in my mind, that in due course, all your dreams will be realized!

Your Kind Heart, and Your Gentle Spirit, Are Like Magnets That Will Attract All Good Things To You!

Dear PT,

      Thank you for your timely blog! I have read all the posts! Thank you, everyone! I know that religion is always a touchy and sensitive subject 'cause it is very personal. I will never impose my opinions on others.

Here is my favorite verses:

I say unto you, that indeed, if there’s a God, there must be a miracle
Search not that miracle, no my darling, in the holy books, but within you, as you are, its very manifestation

For me, I do believe in God.....for me, the difference between God and Allah is only in spelling......I thank God a lot for all the good stuff I have. Many many my prayers have been answered, so I do have a lot of so-called "miracles"! I also call them blessings! Today is the day I want to count my blessings! I think I have low self-esteem comparing to others! O:))  When things work out for me and when things are going my way, the way I wanted, I call them "miracles"!

    Here is one of my favorite country songs by Sara Evan, it is a perfert day for me to play the song for myself. I really can't deny I have a lot of blessings and I do have a thankful heart. Of course, I have a lot of challenges in life, too, I am working on my challenges on daily basis, I am not a complacent person.

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=p39pCBOg0fY&feature=related

I like the lyrics of the song, but I prefer to take the word "you" out of the song....the song is still beautiful without "you". I like the title of the song most: "I could not ask for more!"

Happy Thanksgiving!

Your blog makes me think! Thank you!

'Literal' Interpretation Of Any Religious Text Is Wrong ...

by Passing Through on

It is not just  the Bible that is at issue here .. All religious texts are subject to that

In the Bible, for example, in the Book Of Genesis, it talks about the fact that the World was created in six (6) days, and that God rested on the seventh day!

The geological facts of the earth say otherwise!

Bible is not meant to be used as a Book Of Science - It's Very Much A Spiritual Book, And It Should Be Treated As Such

To read the Bible properly is very much like reading a good book of Poetry - That's both with reference to all the stories that are in it, and also, all the Miracles! It's meant to elevate one's Spirit, and to point out to its Great Potential

Nothing More, And Indeed, Nothing Less ..... :)

The Miracles In The Bible

by R2-D2 on

are by and large metaphorical.

By that I mean, it represents the potentiality of the Human Spirit. They are not meant to be read literally.

By concretizing these verses in the Bible, verses such as Jesus walking on water, or Moses parting the Red Sea, we are really missing the whole point of them being there in the first place.

Everything in the Bible is metaphorical: From the virgin birth of Jesus; to his Physical Resurrection. Again, they point to our Spirit and Human Potentilaity.

To read it any other way, is like misreading the Bible!

Respectfully,

R2-D2

Dear Nur-i-Azal

To be honest with you, I have no particular faith in mind

However, I am fully aware of the fact that people following the Abrahamic Religions (ie. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), have a very special connection to the issue of Miracles as outlined in their religious texts

Believe me, from my past experiences, and not necessarily on this web-site, I know that discussions on such issues, could potentially degenerate in to name-calling, etc.

When such a thing happens, nothing Productive or Constructive could come out of it  

My sincerest hopes are that others who are reading this blog, would engage you, and eachother, in a Constructive and Productive discussion

There is one thing that is quite clear to me: There Is Much That We All Can Learn From Oneanother

I do appreciate your interest, and comment,

Tks Again,

Sincerely,

PT

Dear PT

Did you have any particular religious sensibility in mind, i.e. the ones you think might get offended?
BTW Rumi has tons to say about those who take offense at ecstatic locutions. I won't post it here, since the last time I posted it, it was deleted -- i.e. Mowlavi was actually censored on Iranian.Com. But if you have access to Kulliyat-i-Shams-i-Tabrizi have a look at the poem number 2137 designated by Furuzanfar.

Dear Nur-i-Azal

When I wrote this piece, I became highly aware of the fact that it could potentially offend some people

I also am fully conscious of the argument that you are presenting below

Nevertheless, I feel that I would rather show more sensitivity towards other people's religious sensibilities, than to outright challenging them

I guess as one gets older, one becomes more aware of such sensitivities  :)

Thanks for your comment,

Sincerely,

PT

 

 


Nur-i-Azal

Don't you find it a little weird and bizarre

by Nur-i-Azal on

That the religious sensibilities of the religious are offended by those seeking and experiencing the true Living Spirit in all its paradoxical Glory?

BTW hocus-pocus and superstition is the ken of those who can only talk about magic, but don't actually live in it ;-)   It's a little like organized religion, really. Organized religion talks about God, but can't really offer God beyond its own narrow talk and transparent smoke and mirrors.

Dear Friends

I hope that no one would take offense to the ideas presented in this or the other three (3) blogs referenced above

I do understand that people's religious sensibilities are extremely important to them, and that some of the ideas that are presented in these discussions could potentially come across as offensive

My intention for writing these blogs was to present to you my point-of-view only  .. Not to deliberately insult or offend  anyone, or any group

Tkank you,

PT

Passing Through

Dear Nur-i-Azal

by Passing Through on

Thank you for your kind words

The best we can do is to present a question, and sincerely ask people to fully engage us in responding to that,  and sharing with us their thoughts

This is a Wonderful Journey, and there is no question in my mind, that We Can All Learn Something From Oneanother In Our Discussions :) 

Tks again,

PT

P.S. The only request that I have from everyone is to maintain civility, and show respect towards oneanother in our discussions. I wouild like to thank everybody ahead of time :)

 

 


Nur-i-Azal

Let me ask people a sincere question

by Nur-i-Azal on

Words and discussions about Spirit are always great, but how far are people really willing to dare and challenge themselves and the consensus reality around them in the quest to experience the Pure Spirit for themselves?

Keep the posts coming. It is great to have someone like yourself around here. Maybe the presence of people such as us will start to rub off on others here as well, Godhead willing ;-)
