br. patrick and his near-death experiences...
Br. Patrick:
--- Quote from: Daniel on October 13, 2007, 11:46:48 am ---Today's revelation:
I came upon, and I believe this is a scripture, but I'm not entirely certain. It was something I remember growing up with in my religious home, when it was taught to me as something that Jesus said. "Give up your worldly possessions and follow me."
...the true spiritual reality of the Messiah", he was saying "Free your body and mind from the worldly dominations, those things that control your life and prevent you from knowing who you really are."
--- End quote ---
Things and possessions in general are fine for what they are. If they get in the way of enlightenment, then one would want to rid oneself of these impediments. I have posted in Scott's blog how surrounded I am with Electronics to help distract me from the pain of depression. When I was 'dying' the need for these things just fell along the way. It's only a problem when our 'things' control us, as you have said, wisely, as usual.
Because the Gospels went through a few generations passed down as a group of sayings (oral traditions), something always gets lost in the translations, especially when they were finally written into the "Word" and finalized. Jeez had all of his needs provided for by the women who traveled along with the group. He never lacked anything that he needed.

Had to use the URL & paste it into a new Tab. Thanks~! I love anything Rufus! My back is totally useless and I REFUSE to take painkillers until I just can't stand it anymore. But considering what it COULD be like, I suppose I should count my blessings~!
