Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Joe, you it the nail on the head. Our mind *is* the cause of all suffering. What problem would there be with right now without a thought about it? That's where our sense of separation from the source of all life comes in-when we create a story around it. How could we possibly be so far removed from instinctively knowing what our bodies need, as to pick up some bottled vitamins instead of a piece of fruit? Because most of us are totally mental (in our head instead of in our bodies). rawfood , " Joe Postma " <joepostma wrote: > > I got a white coloured filling, whatever it is.

Imagine the 6'th > day: God sayeth onto Adam " Now I shall grant you > intelligence, But God found that as with all other things, Intelligence came in the form of twins, that within Intelligence, there is the capacity to be clever or stupid as side one could not exist without the other. And so it was with light and dark, heat and cold, good and bad, right and wrong, pleasure and pain.... > and it will make you very very stupid. " and you will be clever or stupid, or anywhere in between. This is man's playground, between the twins. -- the kneeling fool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
