ALWAYS worrying about some terrible misfortune befalling one of my sons or grandchildren. 
| 10 years ago. Rating: 15 | |
Most other fears are ones I can regulate by my own choices. The lack of influence and control....
Few are as acutely aware of that as I, but it makes no nevermind when it comes to my family.
hi Bob,if you do not look after yourself first,you cannot look after them,,,always nice talking Bob,,...................................
Bob, you are worrying about something that is unknown and out of your control. Just pray ernestly for the safty and security of your family and those of others because only God can help on the unknown. Take care and my prayers are with all.

Bumble bees,are on the decline,because of all the insecsides we use,if they fail so will maney of our crops,
On a serious note, I understand that hector. We could be in real trouble because of that and a lot of other things that are making our food sources deteriorate. We seem to believe that everything comes from a box at the grocery store. (I still run away from bees.)
Thank you for those "sweet" words bustione. lol I won't kill any...I'll just keep running away.

That's what I was worried about until the CT scan cleared my mind the other day.It was a big relief.

Internets!!!! The WWW!!! internet scares me! Internet knows everything, it knows where I live, my phone number, it knows my wife, my neighbor, it knows my flight times coming and going, it knows my likes and dislikes, it constantly trying to sell me something and there's a virus on every corner, not to mention cookies!! The Cookies!! They steal everything from you. Forces me to use a password that I forget and then the internet doesn't believe me when I identify myself. Ask me for my mother's maiden name. It knows that too! If I mess that up,it wants to know the name of my first dog! It knows that even. There's no hiding from the internet, its everywhere, even on my phone! When you come to realize that all of us are connected by a wire conducting the internet, you stop and think, I'm vulnerable to any hack in the world and I would never know it. What is on your computer is readily available to anyone with mediocre hacking skills on the internet. Scared???? :) Keep your shields up and your ports fire-walled. :)
And this is just the beginning!

rats, snakes and critters in the forest in general. i'm scared of ebola or things that could kill us with a stroke. they way people drive in northern california is scary. i hate when my family has to drive on the road at nite or in the rain. we see couches, chairs, tools and things on the freeway. lots of folks don't look back before pulling out. lots of drivers acts like they are racing everybody on the road. if you have to change lanes, some drivers take it as an insult to them and they speed past, get in front of you, then exit. people are acting out their frustrations while driving.

My biggest fear is being alone when I get old and frail.And having nobody to take care of me or do my paper work. And dying alone.
| 10 years ago. Rating: 11 | |
Future fear is preparatory FOR disaster and should be avoided. You will always be known and loved. I live life now, in the present and I know my physical body will stop functioning and it will die leaving me without my human form thank God. There is nothing to fear in death, we all do the best we can and mistakes allow us to understand our weaknesses and strengths. There is nothing to fear in physical death...I have been there many times and I know. My life choice was to remember my own past and to learn in the present also....not "Forgive and Forget" as so many choose to come here...as if a new child from God...I'll not make that mistake again.

I've been around forever. Life is a holiday bus ride and death is a polling station. Where you go from there is up to you, usually. What I do is up to God. There are interesting times like the times here now. We're finishing the "Post-war Hippie rise and entering the post-Dangerous-after-math. Then there is some Enlightenment and the Choice...Life or Death by astroids, disease, ignorance, withholding facts, etc. "Idleness is the Devil's play-ground." my grandmother said. Avoiding disasters requires vigilance.

& Colleen..I would like to believe we all come back but....If we do..why haven't we been able to make this world a better place? The same nastiness has been in peoples minds for centuries.War, peadophiles,murderers & injustices are just as common now as they were in the middle ages.I don't know what happens next but if I do come back I will certainly want to be a better person.
I think I'll be on the same bus as you Tommy. Heaven has way too many rules. Sounds rather stuffy and boring. ;)
Because we can not vividly remember our past lives. Soul remembers but the conscious does not. We have to learn to be more in touch with our subconscious, the conscious that soul communicates with. Even then we do not get crystal clear information. More like inner nudges, or moments of Déjà vu even some of our dreams are remembrances of past lifetimes. We know a lot more than we are aware of.
Life is all about repeats and cycles. It is up to older souls to teach younger souls so that we do not keep repeating cycles of violence. We are our brother's keepers per say. But we also have to balance that with free will. We should only note that which harms and not worry about what does not cause harm. A lot of time people fixate on that which does not matter because it's easier to address than what does matter. People for some reason find it much easier to fix what they believe is wrong with someone else's world than what is wrong in their own. Finger pointing causes more upsets and wars yet no one wants to be responsible when they point fingers, they blame it on some religion or their parents or some physiological book they read. People find it hard to think for themselves. When a person just parrots words without recognizing the weight or impact of the words or even understanding the words completely, it causes problems and misunderstandings. Here in lies the responsibility of what we as people put out into the world.
Yes, we should look after each other but we must also allow others free will. The only way to be able to get the correct balance for that is to learn how to love unconditionally. The only way to love unconditionally is to understand exactly what unconditional love is. Very few actually understand it. Because of this, people use love to manipulate and control thinking they do so because they love the other and want to keep them safe. They think they know what is best for the other. This causes problems and country to country, it can cause wars.
Along with reincarnation comes karma. Karma is debts owed or it is rewards for doing good. If you do something bad in a life, come your next life, you owe a debt. The debt is learning, it is the consequences of your actions that you learn from. If you killed someone in your last life, then in your next life, you may be killed so you might understand the unfairness of ending another person's life cycle before it's time. If you abused in a last life, then this life, you are the abused. Example: everyone thinks OJ got away with it. No, he hasn't. Even if he dies in this life time without ever serving time for murdering 2 people, his next lifetime will take care of it. He might find himself imprisoned for something he did not do. But, justice is being served for his last life time.
There are no accidents. Everything happens for a reason. It's up to every soul to learn and grow and it's up to every soul to help the other without interfering with free will. When we get there, then we will stop the cycle of violence we are in now. A lot of churches say, do not question. I say they are wrong. Question everything! Unless people question and learn, we can not move out from the rut we are now in.
Sorry for the tome, sometime what seems like a simple question is not always so simple to answer, lol

That's pretty deep Collen.Certainly every action has a reaction.That's what people need to realise.BTW.It's Good Friday here.Happy Easter.
Happy Easter to you and yours too. I just want to add that, your comment "if I do come back I will certainly want to be a better person" is already recorded into your book of life. As soon as you said it, it was recorded. Soul remembers and it will remember that in your next life and it will remind you as you live that you want to be a better person and so you shall be. You said it so this means you are ready for it. You have learned enough to move on to the next level. Life is a classroom. You are ready to graduate to the next grade.
as Tommyh said Colleen,pretty deep,how do you know all that stuff you said is true,and where did you learn it,,by the way ,your book of life is also mentioned in the bible as "the Lambs book of life",,very different meaning though,,,
Where did I say this was true? It's my truth and because of that, I do not have to prove it as truth for anyone else. We all find our own truth. Tommy asked, I answered based on my truths and what I've seen both in the physical world and the spiritual world. You also have free will in the bible though it differs from how I view free will.
then there is no ending??,just goes round and round,like a dog chasing its tail,,were is the purpose of that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Yes, there is an ending to this physical life. Once soul has master all the lessons of this physical plane, then it moves to a different type of existence, ever upwards in learning, never backwards. Like God however, soul itself has no ending. It is eternal. Learning, experiencing, knowing and growing. That's the life of soul. We are like the feelers for God, we exist forever, ever changing, ever learning, ever feeding God's wisdom. Through us, God learns too. IT learns through our experiences all that it can not experience itself. There is never a lost sheep. All souls are forever connected to God. None is lost, for God knows exactly where each creation is at any time. To send a soul to hades is counter productive to God which is why I do not believe in the place. Karma, cause and effect, lessons and lifetimes. All working together can bring any soul away from the negative and into the positive. God saves, He/It does not destroy and never gives up on any creation. No matter how we mere people view a "bad" soul. Our opinion does not count in the grand scheme of things.
very good Colleen,,what you say is very familiar to me,i think you once said that you have read the bible,,and it is obvious you have read some of it,,and as you have said ,what you have written is your truth and your truth alone,and that is your right,God says there is an ending to this physical life,God says the spirit is eternal and you say the soul is eternal,you say God learns through us to experience life,,god says he already learnt all that through the death of his son Jesus,,you say there is no lost sheep and God knows exactly where everyone is,,God says not a sparrow falls from the sky lest he knows about it ,That all sounds like you are using certain parts of the Bible that you like, bit like eating the cherries of the cake and throwing the cake away,,,not an argument Colleen,just an observation,always happy to exchange ideas,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Or the bible is fashioned after more ancient religions...........
Which is something Christians just hate to even think about. During Jesus's lost years, that was the time that he traveled the earth and learned everything he could from the existing religions of the time. He brought that knowledge back with him and taught it to his apostles. The path I follow pre-dates Jesus. Just something for you to think about.
Mankind and life did not start and stop with Jesus. God learned everything through the death of Christ? I think not. Mankind's experiences, learning, progress did not stop when Jesus died. Look at how much we have learned since the biblical era, all that God has learned through us. No one can see the future. Not even God. Every nano-second the future changes by one singular act or many. Even God can not pre-see a sudden unintended act. I bet you never question why God created us in the first place. You should question more, God will answer.

the first sin was to question God,when the snake said to Eve "did he"that was when Eve questioned God,be careful what you say God can or cannot do,there was a guy who raced in to steady a casket,God struck him dead and said "who do you think you are that i need your help, i ask you this Colleen,would you let your child dictate what he will say and do,,then how much less would a God allow a child of his to dictate to him....why God made us is a very big question,,why God gave us Jesus as a road back to him, is an even bigger question,,considering he could have just wiped us out and start again,,,,,,he is a very big God.......
Great way to control the minds of men through a story that can not be proven. The first sin was to question God, even though God put us here to learn? Who better to question than God? Religious leaders have used that formula for centuries to keep man's minds trapped into only what they want him to know. The first overly used word from a child is, why? They question their parents consistently. A kind and loving and patient parent answers the child and explains, why. I expect no less from God. I gave my children free will to think on their own and to question.
What kind of loving God throws a tantrum and strikes someone dead simply because that person thought he was helping? I'm sure he did not intend on stepping on God's toes. A knowing God would have understood that. If a lamp was falling and I was there to catch it but chose to let it fall instead because I thought it should be smashed rather than saved, and one of my kids caught it, I would not strike him dead because he decided it should be caught without checking with me first. Your version of such a controlling God contradicts free will to the core. The bible should be amended to remove the words that man has free will since there are too many stories in it that remove free will from man. In my opinion, stories like those leave your version of God lacking in the compassionate, all loving, all knowing characteristics that God is suppose to have according to the bible. A lot of the bible is based on contradictions. I refuse to fear God. I'm going to bet that the biggest insult one can give God is to fear him.
Now, who are you to step on God's toes and warn me about what I say? Isn't that God's place and not yours? There is no proof that the words in the bible come from God. It's a matter of faith. I do not have to stop seeking just because a book was written that traps the minds of men. God wants us to learn, to question, to know, to strive to be more like him. We can not do that if we just live life as sheep being herded and never question the direction we are herded in. That makes it too easy for a false god to step in and do the herding. Always question. Even God questions which is why he created beings he could know experiences through.

ok Colleen..when the end time comes,there will be those that are right and those that are wrong,i guess all will be answered then,,,,,,,,,,nice talking
There's the problem. You think there is a right and wrong. There is no right and wrong. Only learning and understanding and room for growth. Each journey is unique. We were created to be individuals for a reason. We are here to learn on our own, not to be led. Just like God learns though our experiences, so too do we learn through each other. We all have something uniquely different to offer. No one is right and no one is wrong. We all simply bring what we know. Instead of constantly trying to divide yourself from others who do not believe as you do, try uniting and allowing others to believe what they will. You might be surprised at what you can learn. I've learned what I need to from the bible. I needed more than what it offers. I moved forward and found the answers to questions it could not answer. I am confident that God has no issue with that, even if you do. You would rather I stop learning beyond the words of your bible. Isn't that you trying to control my free will? I think it is. You say, in the end. Well, there is no end. There is only eternity which is why there can be no right or wrong because every possibility that can ever exist, will exist and it will exist for a reason.
@Colleen, your long comment was simply enlightening. I wish you can put that as an answer so we can engage people to enter this realm of thought. Thank you. I could read if it was longer !
I beg to differ that God learns through us. I believe the fact that He is the creator, all knowing, compassionate, merciful, forgiving for sins against Him but not against others. If I harm you, only you can forgive and not God. Yes the physical life ends but the soul is eternal. However the purpose of life in my belief is to know God and serve Him and His creation. It is in serving, meaning helping others improve their lives that you benefit and come closer to your creator and eternally merge with that universal soul -GOD.
As for free will, God has endowed us with intellect so we can differentiate between good and bad and decide for ourselves what to choose. So one must question to get answer and choose to accept it or reject it.

@Sawali. I'm not sure if you were being facetious with your opening comments to me. If you were, I forgive you. If not, I'll try and take you at your word but you have to know I am at the moment remembering our past debates, arguments, discussions about religion. You tend not to agree with me. That being said, I'll reply to your thoughts based on what I've posted here.
So you believe in enslavement? I do not. I believe the IT (God) was bored existing all alone in the great big nothingness. So IT created living things with brains and heart and emotion to see what they would do. IT gave us everything we needed for our survival and sent us off to learn, to investigate, to show it things that it could not comprehend while we were not existing. IT has the power to create. IT may even have the power to know all possibilities of everything that could ever happen for any scenario but IT can not know what every form of existence will choose to do before it does it. IT learns through our actions that even IT can not pre-think. How many times in a day might you change your mind about something? Do you honestly believe the IT is there following your every thought and guessing what you will ultimately decide? The fact that we have free will means that IT is not. IT lets us do what we will and we are to accept the consequences of what we do.
We entertain IT. We love IT, some fear IT(though one should never fear it). In return, IT loves us unconditionally. IT demands nothing and suggests everything. We do not even have to acknowledge IT and IT still loves us. We are not slaves. We are free spirits and we give out of love, not because we have to but because we choose to. Those who do not give of themselves simply have not learned how to love yet. That is not a problem either as they have many lifetimes to get there. You're correct. The IT has nothing IT needs to forgive you or anyone for. IT understands everything IT's creations do. Forgiveness belongs to the one we hurt and it belongs to our self. There are times when we must forgive our self in order to move on.

@Colleen. My remarks were and are sincere. I don't know why you are still carrying the baggage of our past debates and disagreements. Let go because their worth is ZERO. We have and will agree and disagree in the future and that is healthy but that's where they end - no baggage because I am not carrying it.
Now I never said anything about enslavement. Enslavement of who and by whom?
Let me summarize my views:
1. I will refer God as HE/Him. You can say IT. It makes no difference.
2. He was not BORED. Boredom is a physical attribute whereas HE is spirit - Universal soul.
3. Yes HE knows every action of HIS creation but has given us the free will to do anything and be accountable for our actions.
4. HE will forgive you for anything bad you do against HIM because HE loves you. If I do YOU wrong only you can forgive me because we are responsible for actions. If He forgives wrong I did to you or hurt you, I will continue my bad actions which are not FAIR to you. And HE is fair and will not treat you unfairly by forgiving me.
5. HE is the creator and created us so ye may find him. Everyone may take different route to find HIM.
6. It is HE to whom you turn for help, guidance and strength in physical life difficulties.
So you may agree or disagree with the above and that is fine . At least we agree on one thing - we have a physical limited in time life and a spiritual life which is eternal. And that is the life we should work to improve through good deeds - ALL.
God bless you.

It's a matter of trust, not baggage. I need to trust the sincerity of your words and since I only know you here and know what you are capable of, excuse me if I have to question that sincerity.
Moving on, enslavement, you believe our only reason for existence is to serve God. I do not agree. I believe it goes much further than just serving a master. Yes, boredom and loneliness. Think of it beyond mankind's emotional plane. It's not emotionally based. You think that because that's all you know. I say IT because He speaks of gender. As a source that is energy without form IT can not be a gender. When I use Him, I do so to not confuse those I'm conversing with, those who believe IT has a human form. The human form our souls exist in are for this physical plane only. We do not take it with us so why should IT have a physical forum that is gender based? Outside of this plane, we are our true selves. Soul, without form, without gender just like IT. As for this physical plane, yes, it is limited to however long it takes soul to complete all the learning required for this level of existence. It could be hundreds of lifetimes or thousands. Depends on the soul. The physical plane is low on the totem pole. Good thing soul has eternity. :)

no it is not a problem,it is a difference of belief,i believe there is a right and wrong,as there is an opposite to everything,you do not,however that is your right to believe what you like,however if we both believe the opposite of each other,then one of us is wrong,,and if you think if we keep returning after death to improve ourselves,i cannot see that,because we started out killing one person at a time with a knife thousands of years ago,,we have improved to killing thousands of people with one bomb,,let us believe Jesus returns before we kill all of ourselves entirely ,,,always nice debating different opinions......................................
When you claim one is wrong, that causes a problem. Doesn't matter for which side. There is no wrong. Everyone will see what they expect to see after death. God set it up that way to keep souls from going into shock and being lost, confused and angry if they do not see what they expected to see after death. You are right and I am right, the Muslims are right, Atheist are right and so on. There is no wrong.
This is a negative planet by design. Here many lessons are learned. Here suffering takes place because it has to. It's how we learn. It's where we are suppose to learn to get along, to allow each other their freedoms without prejudice. As long as prejudice exists, there will be wars and there will be killing. As long as one believes they are better than the other or more saved than the other or more accepted by God than the other, there will be wars and killing. Until soul can break the judgments, the prejudice, the need to control others, it will continue the cycle of reincarnation to this lower plane of existence. Until soul can let go of the negative it is destined to return and live lifetimes that shows it why it can not do these things to other souls. If it takes 100 lifetimes for a soul to learn just one lesson, so be it. Soul has eternity to learn it all.
Here also we get our good times, our happy times to remind us what tranquility is like when everyone gets along and stays out of each others business. Those are the times we are suppose to be striving for instead of wasting our time telling another that they are wrong in what they believe or how they live their life. Not your concern, not my concern. Just let people be and peace will come to your world and theirs. As long as you believe another is wrong or a sinner, you will come back. There are no sinners. Just souls learning, lifetime after lifetime. One grade level in school is not enough, why would one lifetime be enough to learn everything there is to learn?

that is my point Colleen,,you say we are returning to learn,,but we are not learning to be better,but actually getting worse,,,,,,,,
Some have learned, some have not. Those who have learned move on to a new reality and do not have to come back to this world. That fact that you are here means you still had learning to do. If you have not learned all that you came for, you will come back to finish the lessons. If you have created more lessons for yourself according to how you lived this life and treated others, then those lessons will be applied to your next life too.
Colleen,this has been a long and interesting conversation,,and i can see some sides to your debate,,however i think i can make more meaning and purpose out of the God of the bible.you obviously like what you have,and that is your choice,and i like and understand what i have,,,each to his own,,,nice debating,,,,,,,,,
I know. Your way is less scary and you do not have to be as responsible for your actions. Absolution and Christ forgiving you of your "sins" does take the worry out of death for some. I personally like learning. I like being responsible for my own actions. I'll be back just for the lessons of that. There's so much to know and experience is the best teacher ;)I hope everything going on in your life right now works out for you. I saw your other post and I see you're faced with a couple difficult challenges. The one thing I have always believed is that we are never given challenges that we can not beat. You shall over come. Try to have a good Easter. The worries are there until you resolve them anyway. Take one day, forget them and just enjoy.
While I respect everyone's "right" to have beliefs and lacks thereof, you all might want to reconsider that Christianity and its ideals are antiquated. One can find correlations and guidance for every part of life TODAY in countless places in the Holy Bible. If one can't or chooses not to, it might be out of fear of being responsible for one's thoughts, words, and actions. There sure are a lot of suggestions and directions for living a Christian life that are difficult to follow consistently. It's easier to criticize something that doesn't fit with one's "agenda" and just make it up as one goes. Nothing wrong with that, for some.
no Colleen,i have to be responsible for my actions in my belief,yes Jesus does forgive,but if i keep saying sorry for the same mistakes i make,Somewhere along the line, Jesus will take his hands off me and say "hey you are not serious about asking for forgiveness "
So you're absolved the first time but if you do it again now you're responsible? I'm responsible the first time. I can accept that.
no,, i am responsible the first time,,but as a normal human,,i make stuff ups, and i will continue to do so,, however he will forgive me if i am honest in my apology,,And he will know if i am honest,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
OK, so what would be your penance for doing wrong? You say, He will forgive you but you are responsible. How do you make up for your actions if they harm another? Do you simply apologize? A murderer can show remorse and truly mean he's sorry for killing a person but we still put him in prison. Should we just accept his apology because he's really sorry, forgive him and let him go?
So free pass then. Not sure how one learns from free passes but then again it is the easy way out so understandable why you would prefer it. Happy Easter Terry. I hope your day goes well for you.
everyone basically knows right from wrong,,you dont always need a bullet in the head to learn that,and you will always be judged by the law of the land,if the law of the land does not punish you ,God does,,,
Existence, physical and spiritual, goes much deeper than basic right from wrong. You'll find the depth in time. You have eternity :)
eternity according to your belief,,less according to mine,,i think i will go with mine thank you,,,,,,,,,
You do no believe soul exists for eternity? I'm not saying you will reincarnate for eternity. I'm just saying soul has eternity. It's up to each soul how long they will reincarnate. It's up to how fast they learn.
Great exchange of beliefs/no-beliefs. terry,I believe you are accountable for your actions and will be judged accordingly.Good deeds will be rewarded and bad deeds will be punished. As for coming back to learn I say when the physical life ends, the soul is eternal and will merge with universal soul like a drop of water into the ocean. Believe what you believe because that guides your life.

Millie as far as i know there is nothing in there to worry about, - come Down under it's a different matter, swimmers here in man made canals and the rivers in Queensland, close to the ocean have to deal with Bull Sharks as they can survive in fresh or sea water, they love murky water and will bite anything that moves, they are a real bugger! :)
lol Bullet..That`s seriously freaky!..I just don`t like the thought of whatever is in them that you can`t see..or know the depth!..Heights and depths are my two main things I`ll pass on!X
