In the other thread I was being sincere. I just wondered what you meant when you quoted my post and you stated,

"welcome BACK I see a few of the gang have arrived the sarcastic remarks are not required you do not have too believe what others believe if you have something else to share please tell the members here what it is we have grown tired of the ridicule game. can you not get over that or HAS IT BECOME A STICKING POINT FOR YOU?"

What did I say that made you respond in that way? I had only made one post before tonight and is this the type of welcome you give to newcomers???

Can you be more specific? If there is a problem, maybe it would be best to just plainly point it out? What am I looking for? And by whom?

Hi Northern Boy,

I've read the 'Is Death Really A Bad Thing? I want your opinion' -thread and, if this is what you're referring to, I'm sorry, but I can't seem to spot any ridicule (of another person) in G9211's message. He does have his own right of his views on life and death as long as nobody is being attacked personally.

He said:
I'm so excited knowing I'm immortal with this endless adventure in front of me. This is how I see it.... I use to be kind of an atheist but had some events happened in my life and damn! It turned me around! So death is great, it's BIRTH that sucks! haha

I myself use humor and at times sarcasm without attacking others. It's a way of ventilating thoughts and events. If I do insult someone, I deserve and accept the hit! The problem with humor is that in a 2-D computer reality it is even worse to communicate than in real life (you miss the 75% non-verbal communication). Hope we can all get along in 5-D and up!

Because of the problems this forum has with some members wich are willingly creating division and chaos we are in an (over-)alert state. Not everybody is part of the disruptive game. We need to be careful not to create a 'counterwitch hunt'.

I did Vipassana meditation. What you learn there (and in different meditation techniques) is to accept your thoughts and emotions without attaching yourself to them... they eventually leave and you'll be rooted more in the flow of life. Don't want to be an as# -I know most of us know this stuff-, but maybe we can use this technique with (so-called) 'disruptive elements' as well...

Thanks for the warning though! I'll do look out!

xxdA.

I agree with this entirely. Dealth is really a birth. We're born once and we die once. But after we die that first time, we live again - forever. Well, some of us, depending on how you decided to treat others here, and all that.

dAkapacity - You are right! Humor doesn't work well online and I always forget that. My friends on facebook are always reminding me. LOL

HorizonQ2 - you say born once and die once...don't you believe in reincarnation? I do...was just curious.

No, I do not believe in reincarnation. I believe that we get one chance. The Earth is a garden. We are the plants growing, and the garden will soon be harvested. The whole point isn't to save the world system (otherwise known as humanity), because that will surely pass away. To put effort into something that will inevitably pass away is pointless. To build on something that is temporary -- silly. A better goal would be to align ones self with what comes afterwards. Myself, for example, I couldn't care less about colonizing space or free energy. I care about people. I care about souls. I care about what will become of people when they take their last breath. Will they be cut off? Or will they be found worthy to live everlasting life, in accordance with the original plans of our Creator?

Ok, I respect that, but what about those who have such short lives as opposed to those who live an entire century? For example, children who die before puberty? They didn't get the chance to live long enough to be anything really. I'm just curious how that fits into your belief.

I lean toward the earth is a "school" and we come back to learn different lessons and to try different things.

I guess we won't know for sure til we're dead.

I don't know the answers to everything. I just believe that generally, we're born onto this Earth to learn and grow - to prepare for what comes next. I am sure God has a plan for the children who do not make it do adulthood, and I am sure it is a fair plan. If God was not fair, he would not have made such a beautiful planet for us to live on. Shame about what's been done to it though, which is directly causing these premature deaths. We have ourselve's to blame though. We think we've got ot all sorted and don't need God. This is what happens. That's the way I see things.

What we do to the planet, we are doing to ourselves. Pretty logical to me, it amazes me that more people don't understand. But to be fair....it took me about 37 years to figure it out.
