God is the Wave That Falls And Rises;
Some Folks Attempt to Reduce This Wave; Yes,
And Materially Reduce it to Only 'Particles;' Yes,
Books, Covers, Pages, And Oh Dear Lord A Word
As Small As 3 Letters When Waves Exist NoWHeRE EVeRWHeRE NeW;'
Only 4 Percent of Nobel Prize Winning Physicists Assess Themselves as Atheist;
Not Really a Big Surprise to me as the More You Understand About the Processes
of the Natural World, Generally Speaking, the More You Admit How Little You Actually Know Still To Explore...
As Far As Informal and More Scientifically Conducted Studies on the Religious Beliefs of Folks on the 'Wrong
Planet,' the Result in The Informal Polling Is Almost Identical to The Boston University Study Done on Religious
Beliefs of Folks in the Philosophy, Politics, And Religion Forum on the Wrong Planet in a Study Done over the
Course of an Entire Year From 2008 to 2009; Where That Study Found a Percentage of Atheists of 26 Percent,
Similar to the Informal Poll Here, so far with 27 Percent; Yet It's True Some Folks Don't Consider Themselves
Part of Any Religion at All;
They May Have Difficulty Putting
Their Experience of what they Metaphor
As Spirituality Even into Words as Truly Words
Only Approximate The Essence of Reality as it Exists Now;
For Instance, How Limited the Word Tree Describes All the Leaves on All the Varieties of Trees;
Like the Tree Christianity; Now, When there are 45,000 Plus Denominations Around the World;
Like the Term Religion; Now, Where There Are Around 4200, In the World, Generally Assessed too;
And Again, Those Are Only the Ones With Names; TRAINED AS a Participant Anthropologist Observer
As Part of My Degree, Anthropology; One of Three at University Level Study; i Still Do it Just For Fun;
Participating, Visiting Churches, Interviewing So Many Individual Members in the Pews; Not Surprisingly,
Like Folks Attempting to Find the Meaning of Any Poem, The Views Will Be Slightly Different to Vastly Different
Just in One Pew, Among Folks In Just One Church, With Just One Pastor, and One Flavor of Religion too; For this
is the Human Condition; At Core Science Shows It's Not Really All that Rational; as a Synergy of Our Feelings
And Senses in Emotions Drive Almost All We Do Before We Even Have a Chance to Attempt to Describe the
Reasons For What We Do...
As Neuroscience Suggests We
Basically Hallucinate Our Realities
Now Based on Realities We Basically Hallucinate Before...
This Makes the Study of the Vast Within Much More Complicated
Than the Study of the Stars Above As They Are Farther Away And Easier to Define that way so Ironically True...
For me at Least, my Home is Nature; my God Is LoVE iN Peace; my Religion is Kindness; Yet as i Co-Create ThiS Way
of Life With Only Relative Free Will of my Conscious Thinking Mind that Science Suggests Now only Represents about
.5 Percent of my Reality,
i Understand ThiS Way
of my Individual Spirituality
For Real Is Only An Art and Never
A Science Alone That Will Fit in Any One Word,
Cover, Or Pages of a Book; As Change is the Reality;
And All Of Nature Including Us Of Course is in Flux of Change Eternally Now;
Once Again, Waves Fall and Rise; Some Folks Attempt to Materially Reduce
Waves to only Particles;
Yet Waves Continue
to Exist NoWHeRE EVeRWHeRE NeW;
i'm Really Not Sure What That Means Yet That
iS A Way God Feels to me, Like a Forrest Gump
Feather; Just Floating in the Breeze As Sure As Dust in the Wind Exists Newly Now...
Hehe, Is it Any Wonder Folks Demand a Feather in the Breeze Do What They Want it to...
True, Humans Have
A Long Tradition
of Attempting to Trap
Wind in a Jar And Keep it Breathing, hehe...
Other Than that one of my Favorite Movies About Reality
is 'Contact,' Inspired by A Book Carl Sagan Wrote, Where An Alien
Visits Jody Foster and Helps Her With a Mystical Journey Within;
And The Message Is Simple; Humans Are Capable of Co-Creating Greatest
Dreams and Nightmares as an Interesting Mix of Beings of Nature; And Similarly
The Alien
Expressed
The Only Thing
That Makes the Emptiness
of Space Bearable is the Warm
Connections Among Each Other;
So He Just Suggested Start Making
Small Steps of More Connections And Realize
When You Do in Warmth You've Come to A Best
Place in All of Existence THeRE is Newly Now; Yet
It's True Mileage Varies, Depending On Make and Model;
Vehicle
And
Vessel;
And Yes Essence of Being Now...
Per the Movie "Contact," it's Harder to
Be in a Bad Mood When You Become 'The Beach;'
(Specifically, Navarre and Pensacola Beach Where i am From too;
Great Grandfather, Homesteading 150 Acres, There in the Early 1900's)
The Stars
Above
The
Stars Within;'
The Waves That
Continue NoWHeRE EVeRWHeRE NeWLY NoW...
Grains of Sand Holding Hands; God Yes, Holding Up
Potential Human Mountains oF LoVE iN Peace FoR REAL NoW..
Carl Sagan, Admitted in His Later Years How Restricted His Mind
Was, And How Hallucinogenic Substances Help to Expand His Human Potentials...
Fortunately,
For me, i Don't Require that;
Again, Difference Vehicles and Vessels, iNdeed...

It’s not bad except for the fact that it must be worn under clothes.
Hot black suits and walking in the hot Utah sun.

I've seen them do it in the Australian summer. Complete with suit and temple garment. And no car. One of them asked me if I needed any help around the house. I said the lawn needs to be mowed. So he mowed the lawn while I watched TV inside.

Am a Christian. A terrible one at that, but I try to be a nice one. 
I have a personal dislike towards JWs….they sent me hand written letters when a family member died to try and get me to come to their church. It was so creepy how they found my address.

They are writing to people systematically.
Sometimes they target people by looking at obituaries, too. It’s really gross, predatory behavior, but they don’t see it that way.

Good on you! It was mutually advantageous because maybe he'll go to heaven faster. At the very least he'll feel good about himself, and that has to count for something.
