Religion / Re: The Truth About What Happens After Death by nyameke: 4:19am On Nov 16, 2012
CONTINUED

Neale Donald Walsch: “If there is no hell, yet I am experiencing hell, what the hell is the difference?”
God: “There wouldn’t be any, as long as you remain in your created reality. Yet you will not create such a reality forever. Some of you won’t experience it for more than what you would call a “nanosecond.” And therefore you will not experience, even in the private domains of your own imagination, a place of sadness or suffering.”
Neale Donald Walsch: “What would stop me from creating such a place for all eternity if I believed all my life that there was such a place, and that something I’d done had caused me to deserve such a place?”
God: “Your knowledge and understanding. Just as in this life your next moment is created out of the new understandings you’ve gained from your last moment, so, too, in what you call the afterlife, will you create a new moment from what you’ve come to know and understand in the old. And one thing you will come to know and understand very quickly is that you are at choice, always, about what you wish to experience.
That is because in the afterlife results are instantaneous, and you will not be able to miss the connection between your thoughts about a thing, and the experience those thoughts create. You will understand yourself to be creating your own reality.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3

“You will experience after death exactly what you expect, and choose, to experience.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3

Neale Donald Walsch: “So many different stories exist about what happens in the moments after death.
Some people come back from near-death experiences filled with peace and love, and with no fear, ever again, of death, while others return very frightened, certain that they have just encountered dark and evil forces.”
God: “The soul responds to, re-creates, the mind’s most powerful suggestion, producing that in its experience.
Some souls remain in that experience for a time, making it very real—even as they remained in their experiences while with the body, though they were equally as unreal and impermanent. Other souls quickly adjust, see the experience for what it is, begin to think new thoughts, and move immediately to new experiences.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3

Neale Donald Walsch: “Do You mean that there is no one particular way things are in the afterlife? Are there no eternal truths that exist outside of our own mind? Do we continue to go on creating myths and legends and make-believe experiences right past our death and into the next reality? When do we get released from the bondage? When do we come to know the truth?”
God: “When you choose to. That was the point of the Robin Williams movie. That is the point being made here. Those whose only desire is to know the eternal truth of All
That Is, to understand the great mysteries, to experience the grandest reality, do so.
Yes, there is a One Great Truth; there is a Final Reality. But you will always get what you choose, regardless of that reality—precisely because the reality is that you are a divine creature, divinely creating your reality even as you are experiencing It.
Yet should you choose to stop creating your own individual reality and begin to understand and experience the larger, unified reality, you will have an immediate opportunity to do that.
Those who “die” in a state of such choosing, of such desiring, of such willingness and such knowing, move into the experience of the Oneness at once. Others move into the experience only if, as, and when they so desire. It is precisely the same when the soul is with the body.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3

“You may return to the One and experience the loss of your individual Self whenever it pleases you. You may also re-create the experience of your individual Self whenever you choose.
You may experience any aspect of the All That Is that you wish, in its tiniest proportion, or its grandest. You may experience the microcosm or the macrocosm.
When you reside with the human body, you are experiencing g a smaller portion than the whole; that is, a portion of the microcosm (although by no means the smallest portion thereof). When you reside away from the body (in what some would call the “spirit world”), you have enlarged by quantum leaps your perspective. You will suddenly seem to know everything; be able to be everything. You will have a macrocosmic view of things, allowing you to understand that which you do not now understand.
One of the things you will then understand is that there is a larger macrocosm still. That is, you will suddenly become clear that All That Is is even greater than the real-ity you are then experiencing. This will fill you at once with awe and anticipation, wonder and excitement, joy and exhilaration, for you will then know and understand what I know and understand: that the game never ends.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3

“In the time after your “death” you may choose to have every question you ever had answered—and open yourself to new questions you never dreamed existed. You may choose to experience Oneness with All That Is. And you will have a chance to decide what you wish to be, do, and have next.
Do you choose to return to your most recent body? Do you choose to experience life again in human form, but of another kind?
Do you choose to remain where you are in the “spirit world,” at the level you are then experiencing? Do you choose to go on, go further, in your knowing and experiencing? Do you choose to “lose your identity” altogether and now become part of the Oneness?
What do you choose? What do you choose? What do you choose?
Always, that is the question I will be asking you. Always, that is the inquiry of the universe. For the universe knows nothing except how to grant your fondest wish, your greatest desire. Indeed, it is doing that every moment, every day.”

Religion / The Truth About What Happens After Death by nyameke: 4:16am On Nov 16, 2012
I have been inspired to share this all day so here goes
The Truth about What Happens After Death

Neale Donald Walsch: “What happens when you die?”
God: “What do you choose to have happen?”
Neale Donald Walsch: “You mean that what happens is whatever we choose to have happen?”
God: “Do you think that just because you’ve died you stop creating? When you die, you do not stop creating.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3

“The reason you do not stop creating when you die is that you don’t ever die. You cannot. For you are life itself. And life cannot not be life. Therefore you cannot die. So, at the moment of your death what happens is… you go on living.
This is why so many people who have “died” do not believe it—because they do not have the experience of being dead. On the contrary, they feel (because they are) very much alive. So there’s confusion.
The Self may see the body lying there, all crumpled up, not moving, yet the Self is suddenly moving all over the place. It has the experience, often, of literally flying all over the room—then of being everywhere in the space, all at once. And when it desires a particular point of view, it suddenly finds itself experiencing that.
If the soul (the name we will now give to the Self) wonders, “Gee, why is my body not moving?” it will find itself right there, hovering right over the body, watching the stillness curiously.
If someone enters the room, and the soul thinks, “Who is that?”—immediately the soul is in front of, or next to, that person.
Thus, in a very short time the soul learns that it can go anywhere—with the speed of its thought.
A feeling of incredible freedom and lightness overtakes the soul, and it usually takes a little while for the entity to “get used to” all this bouncing around with every thought.
If the person had children, and should think of those children, immediately the soul is in the presence of those children, wherever they are. Thus the soul learns that not only can it be wherever it wants with the speed of its thought—it can be in two places at once. Or three places. Or five.
It can exist, observe, and conduct activities in these places simultaneously, without difficulty or confusion. Then it can “rejoin” itself, returning to one place again, simply by refocusing.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3

“Always in life you have before you three choices:
1. You may allow your uncontrolled thoughts to create The Moment.
2. You may allow your creative consciousness to create The Moment.
3. You may allow the collective consciousness to create The Moment.
Here is an irony: In your present life you find it difficult to create consciously from your individual awareness, and, indeed, often assume your individual understandings to be wrong, given all that you are seeing around you, and so, you surrender to the collective consciousness, whether it serves you to do so or not.
In the first moments of what you call the afterlife, on the other hand, you may find it difficult to surrender to the collective consciousness, given all that you are seeing around you (which may be unbelievable to you), and so you will be tempted to hold to your own individual understandings, whether they serve you or not.
I would tell you this: It is when you are surrounded by lower consciousness that you will benefit more from remaining with your individual understandings, and when you are surrounded by higher consciousness that you receive greater benefit from surrender.
It may, therefore, be wise to seek beings of high consciousness. I cannot overemphasize the importance of the company you keep.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3

God: “Some of you have expectations without even knowing it. All your life you’ve had thoughts about what occurs after death, and when you “die” those thoughts are made manifest, and you suddenly realize (make real) what you’ve been thinking about. And it is your strongest thoughts, the ones you’ve held most fervently, that, as always in life, will prevail.”
Neale Donald Walsch: “Then a person could go to hell. If people believed all during life that hell is a place which most certainly existed, that God will judge “the quick and the dead,” that He will separate the “wheat from the chaff” and the “goats from the sheep,” and that they are surely “going to hell,” given all that they have done to offend God, then they would go to hell! They would burn in the everlasting fires of damnation! How could they escape it? You’ve said repeatedly throughout this dialogue that hell does not exist. Yet You also say that we create our own reality, and have the power to create any reality at all, out of our thought about it. So hellfire and damnation could and does exist for those who believe in it.”
God: “Nothing exists in Ultimate Reality save that Which Is. You are correct in pointing out that you may create any subreality you choose—including the experience of hell as you describe it. I have never said at any point in this entire dialogue that you could not experience hell; I said that hell does not exist. Most of what you experience does not exist, yet you experience it nonetheless.”

Religion / Re: God Is Both What He Is And What He Is Not by nyameke: 3:26am On Nov 16, 2012
Reyginus: Are you fine at all? Is God devil too? Ants, goats, dogs, faeces? How do you plead?
lol speaking of God being a goat etc have you never heard of the saying "holy cow" and how some cultures revere animals and hold them sacrosanct. The point is God is ALL THAT IS. It/he/she is every-thing and no-thing. He is everything in existence. btw there is nothing like the devil because he does not " really" exist. the devil is a man made construct just like a supposedly jealous and judgemental god created by religions.
Religion / God Is Both What He Is And What He Is Not by nyameke: 7:27pm On Nov 15, 2012
God is Both What He Is and What He Is Not:
“I am God.
I am the Goddess.
I am the Supreme Being. The All of Everything. The Beginning and The End. The Alpha and Omega.
I am the Sum and the Substance. The Question and the Answer. The Up and the Down of it. The Left and the Right, the Here and the Now, the Before and the After.
I am the Light, and I am the Darkness that creates the Light, and makes it possible. I am the Goodness Without End, and the “Badness” which makes the “Goodness” good. I am all of these things—the All of Everything—and I cannot experience any part of My Self without experiencing All of My Self.
I am the Magnificent Everything—and what I am seeking is to know Myself experientially. I am doing this through you, and through everything else that exists. And I am experiencing My Self as magnificent through the choices I make. For each choice is self creative. Each choice is definitive. Each choice represents Me—that is, re-presents Me—as Who I Choose to Be Right Now.
Yet I cannot choose to be magnificent unless there is something to choose from. Some part of Me must be less than magnificent for Me to choose the part of Me which is magnificent. So, too, is it with you.
I am God, in the act of creating My Self. And so, too, are you.
This is what your soul longs to do. This is that for which your spirit hungers.
Were I to stop you from having what you choose, I would stop My Self from having what I choose. For My greatest desire is to experience My Self as What I Am. And, as I carefully and painstakingly explained in Book 1, I can only do that in the space of What I Am Not.
And so, I have carefully created What I Am Not, in order that I might experience What I Am.
Yet I Am everything I create—therefore I Am, in a sense, What I Am Not.”
- Conversations with God, Book 3

God: “To remain in the state of sublime no-thing, or Oneness with the All, would make it impossible to be there. That Which Is cannot be, except in the space of That Which Is Not. Even the total bliss of Oneness cannot be experienced as “total bliss” unless something less than total bliss exists. So, something less than the total bliss of total Oneness had to be—and continually has to be—created.”
Neale Donald Walsch: “But when we are in total bliss, when we have merged once more with the Oneness, when we have become Every-thing/No-thing, how can we even know that we exist? Since there is nothing else that we are experiencing… I don’t know. I don’t seem to understand this. This is one I can’t seem to get a handle on.”
God: “You are describing what I call the Divine Dilemma. This is the same dilemma God has always had—and that God solved with the creation of that which was not God (or thought it was not).
God gave—and gives again, in every instant—a part of Itself to the Lesser Experience of not knowing Itself, so that the Rest of Itself can know Itself as Who and What It Really Is.
Thus, “God gave His only begotten son, that you might be saved.” You see now from where this mythology has sprung.”

Education / Re: Fact You Should Know About English by nyameke: 5:43pm On Nov 13, 2012
It is not a Fact about English, it is a fact about all written languages..

The subconcious part of our mind makes this possible. Infact the unconscious part of our mind does about 98% to 99% of our daily activities. Reading, doing work, eating, driving, walking, talking etc are all unconscious processes and done by our unconscious mind. Everything we do is literally UNCOSNCOIUS .. dare I say humans are volitional robotic creatures..
Culture / Re: Hip Hop Culture: Who's The Better Rapper - Nas Or Jay Z? by nyameke: 1:23am On Nov 03, 2012
You can tell when people have no idea what they talking about or the subject matter and only recites and spits out the little pieces here and there they consume from biased uninformed written articles on certain websites etc OR they know the truth yet will attempt to twist it to favor their arguments OR maybe they're just plain delusional...

I think @ Ezotic falls in the first category.
To say PAC had no following before 1994 or no one knew him until the beef or until first shooting incident is just plain laughable..

Biggie and Nas are my men but I will not even dare think put them over PAC. Pac was way more influential across all hoods in America. Yea I'm a new yorker but the truth is Even Nas and em back in them early 90s only really had a following or strong hold mostly in the east coast. Pac was revolutionary and had more influence. Dude wa doing charity work and empowering blacks youths across the country at a time when Nas and em were trying find themselves..

Btw I have intentional not mentioned jigga man because even though in my opinion the most financially successful rap artist, he is not even close to been considered the best rapper ever in new York let alone to be considered the G.O.A.T.

The title will always be among BIG, PAC and NAS. But PAC always spoke and rapped from the heart and gut and the better overall so I hand him the crown..

TroGunn:

That the devil exists doesn't mean we shouldn't take responsibility for our actions. I don't know where you get the idea from. We are responsible for our deeds, which shows whether we are on God's side or Satan's. And those who allow themselves can be influence by the devil. It's no different from how humans can be influenced negatively or otherwise by other humans.
the devil does not exist and will never exist not now and not till the end of time. if you believe the devil exist then you believe God is imperfect and that can never be my friend.
Islam for Muslims / Re: Will Muslims See God? by nyameke: 8:03pm On Oct 30, 2012
TroGunn:

Why do you think God is scared of the devil? And God did not create the devil - he made himself one. He was a free being who sought his own prominence and broke God's laws to do so, thus becoming evil. And God has set a time to deliver his judegment on him. There are deeper issues involved and the devil will be taken out when the time comes. Things will get worse before it gets better because the Devil is increasing earth's woes because he knows that he has only "a short period of time" left before being shut down. (Revelation 12:7-12; 20:1-3)
dude there is a lot of things you don't understand man.there is nothing like the devil. Whatever happens to your world is your own doing and not the devil. start taking responsibility for your world and stop blaming an imaginary being. If you followed jesus like he taught and not twist his words you would understand everything in your world you created just like the creator created the universe.
"And know that these things, and more, shall you also do". For have I not said, ye are gods?
Yet you do not believe. If you cannot, then, believe in yourself, believe in me.

U ar confusing urself, if God is perfect love or there is no hell or heaven, what is ur basis or terms of reference 4 making dt statement.
No Im not confused but thinking and using common sense which many of you fail to do. When i sense confusion i always ask God for understanding which i always get and i honestly wish same for you. But lets talk maybe i can be of help. Do you honestly believe that God is perfect Love like the bible and other religious text and teachings says?. answer this and then we will move on. btw i didnt say there is no hell or heaven i said there is nothing like a place called hell like the way you have been made to believe.

Pls argue ur case some more as for me all sinners shall be turned into hell and all d nations dt forget God. Ps 9:17

be careful of what you wish for my friend because words are creative. btw are you saying that grave now equals hell because that verse says grave yet you substituted grave with hell.( a perfect example of how the bible got to its current state lol). Use your head my friend becuase all the "wicked" "sinners" "righteous" killers" all return to the grave unless you know of a special different place where the righteous get buried when they die.lol Look let know one teach you the way to the Lord because he is right there in your heart and has always been.you are God in the flesh my friend. you just forgot which is what life is all about. We are all individuated aspect of the creator and You are here to re-member who you are.
Islam for Muslims / Re: Will Muslims See God? by nyameke: 5:23pm On Oct 30, 2012
missbrownsugar: Let me throw more light on john 3:3 except a man is born again he cannot see d kingdom of God. being born again is by accepting jesus to be the lord and savior of ur life..the bible says with the heart man believes and with d mouth confession is made unto salvation. Now d question here is do muslims confess d lordship of jesus? No so how re they expected to make heaven? Let's not deceive ourselves life is spiritual and every question abt life has its answers in d bible. ill rest my case here.
dude every question about life does not have its answers in the bible. I will have you know that the bible is a mixture of truth and lies created by individuals(the church) to control the masses. Part of the bible is doctored with lies. For instance have you stopped to asked yourself why a loving God will create volitional beings with free will and then turn around to command them and proceeds to give them a code of ethics and commandments to follow. Doesn't make any sense does it. What God gave to Moses were the 10 Commitments and not the 10 commandments.( but we all know what man has turned the commitments into)

All religions are man made. God or the creator is not an angry, vengeful,and jealous God. The real God or Creator is perfect love. Love does not hate, jealous envy or condemn. All religions have done is to create different versions of God who is to be feared and worshiped lest they get judged, condemned and punished to control the masses and not necessarily to seek the presence of the creator.

There is nothing like a place called hell. And there is nothing like an angry God or the devil. it is all man made creations based on fear. when we all "die" we go to heaven including so called sinners.
Culture / Re: Did The Igbo's Migrate From Isreal? by nyameke: 6:19pm On Oct 17, 2012
Even the ancient of days is described as a dark skin. dare i say that even God is black man

Revelation 1:14-15(KJV)
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

And this is how daniel described the ancient of days.
Daniel 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

Now there are two things to gather from these verses. The first is the texture of Christs hair and the second is his skin colour. When you read the beginning of the verse his texture of hair is described as being like wool. Wooly hair is black hair. Next it describes the skin colour of jesus feet. Keep in mind that your feet is the same colour as the rest of your body. John describes it as being like brass. Now brass is a derivative of brown. It is a copper colour. Now if you take brown copper and burn it in a furnace (oven), it will turn jet black. As a matter of fact, if you take anything and burn it in an oven it will turn black!

So Christ is seen and depicted as black even in the spiritual realms. So why depict him as white Jesus and the infatuations with Caucasians.

END does not equal or indicate DESTROY and could mean anything. In our case the DEC.21 2012 AD 11:11GMT end is just the end of a human era and another one will be ushered in. the earth is not getting destroyed on DEC 21 just the end of an human era or period. The next era will see mankind do amazing and mind blowing stuff which would have been considered impossible in this current era.

the Germans were not Aryans. hitler was a liar.

the Aryans are the Iranians (only the full-blooded ones) and many groups of upper-caste Indians.
no the Aryans are not Iranians or Indians. Stay getting deceived..

Yes Hitler was a liar but he understood something's that most of you don't know. The Aryan race applies to all of us and this era which is about to end.. Hitler used the term to build his master race, hoping nobody would notice. The bottom line is the Aryan race (not the Germans or Iranians or some Indians ) represents the things we are learning in this era of mankind . This era began in the year 1 BC and goes to 2012 AD ...way before and after Hitler. This is not well known, but Hitler was a mystic, a black one.

He used secret mystical keys to raise himself to power. Some of this mystical bent comes across in his dictatorship. For instance the Nazi symbol is a mystical cross turned on its side, which from an energetic sense is kind of like using a pentagram upside down. It shows the force being applied for lower ends or evil , rather than higher more pure ends for good..

When he said he wanted to create a master race from the "Aryan race/period " he and some of his cohorts knew exactly what he meant. Only the masses didn't know.

Btw the whole Iranian and Indian link to the so called Aryan race is all a detour from the real truth.

for my wife I would be resistant to it unless the reason is very legitimate and not reasons of because of property owning thing.. For the kids no way..

And the Spanish thing is odd

YES,

sur = sir.
honestly i plan to keep my last name and do the hyphenated thing but
i dont exactly see taking on the father's name as "oppressive". I am just saying the culture/tradition began from chauvinistic societies and laws.

for example "johnson" in the old days meant you were the "son of john". Same for "Robinson" etc.

anyway, the only children i know who have their mother's last names are kids born to single mothers or who changed it due to the divorce of their parents.

Case in point Bobby Brown and the late Witney Houston's daughter who dropped her father's names "bobby and brown" from hers.
exactly my point.. To me it is the natural thing to do and shouldn't be looked at as oppressive. I probably wouldn't have too much issue with a woman having a hyphenated name but as far as the kids that's a no no ..and my view is not based on societal/ cultural or religious values.

Btw is people surnames not the same as fathers name any more? Oh I forgot we live in an era where some people take after their moms name undecided undecided
