I dont understand Craig, how is that entirely different? The path to enlightenment is what we need, according to Jesus, and that is what Im talking about. If we ask God for guidance, after we make the effort you and I both speak of, we get it. The Holy Spirit was sort of just included in my mention of being able to comminicate with God, as the Holy Spirit is naturally, the vehicle we can utilize to obtain Christ Conciousness.
you speak of somebody who is already communicating with 'god'. i speak of someone who is not on the right path but wishes to take it, so they 'pray' or make a conscious effort to move towards the light. we are kind of saying the same time, but also not. dig? you said that everything we need, not desire will be provided. i don't believe the message was for physical things that we 'need'. there is another type of 'prayer' for that. ive been reading the NT more lately, and rereading and comparing books and i believe jesus spoke of different methods of prayer, or meditation, or yogas, or whatever you want to call it. i am beginning to make fine distinctions that mainstream interpretations don't. and the more i read, the more similarities i see between the messages of many high beings. sorry im kind of high... >>>???>
I'm not Christian, but I was raised in that tradition. Shiva represents the destructive element of "God". He destroys, so that new growth can continue. x
