Thanks Angela,
I know paradise is where you live but swap it for rainy Manchester for a month and see if you still feel the same way! Actually it's sunny here at the moment but people are still walking around with umbrellas, must be habbit.
Seriously though, I'm very open-minded on most things and I think we have just scratched the surface of absolute knowledge.
As you say, not everyone wants to live in paradise or everyone's version of it is different but I believe there are such things as parallel universes and I wholeheartedly believe that paradise or a better world for all of us is out there somewhere.
Hi Jennifer,
Manchester.....paradise?
It's a difficult one. Fiday nights, not bad. Monday mornings, I hate Mondays, Definitely not paradise. NC is that North Carolina?
Us Brits, so parochial and unable to work the spell check. Good word though.
Hi MiBeloved,
The question you ask is similar to the one that I asked myself.
IE Why was I taught "Do as our religion states and you will go to heaven."
I think everyone is entitled to follow the religion of their choice but I'm not particularly religious myself. However I do believe in a 'God-like' force that drives the universe. I believe it to be our collective conciousness. Take care.
I agree CNS,
Have you ever read Victor Frankle's (Excuse me If I've spelt his name wrong) auto biography. He was an ex P.O.W. and shared you're belief.
I share it myself, up to a point. I just think we could become better at creating this state of mind though.
Hi joelr,
I definitely believe in connectivity as opposed to seperateness. I've said on the forum before that I believe we are all connected in some way. Thus by helping others and trying to be of service to people you are in fact helping yourself. Same goes for the opposite as well.
Hi newsbone,
Not heard from you in a while and when I do it's a one liner!
I'm very much into positive thinking, in fact I think it's my stronggest characteristic.
(I know this thanks to Angelas's post - 'Tell me one thing that you like about yourself.' In fact I got up to 913 but that was top of the list. I AM JOKING.)
What I'm saying is that even the most positive amoungst us feel down occasionally.
Hi Aleksander,
I hope we do make paradise on earth. I believe that we are getting there in many ways but we still have a long way to go. If we can focus on all the good things I think we have a genuine chance, unfortunately, as humans we have a fascination with all things negative.
Maybe one day we will master this urge. I hope so.
Regards, Andy
