For purposes of this thread, assume that God is the Eternal One, the Creator of all... the one Source. Quoting: Satya Revelations Who wants to be separate from God? When you worship, you are separating yourself from God, by placing "him" in a place higher than yourself. You place a distance between you and "him." While this applies to any and all religions, I'll focus on the book I am most familiar with.... and in that book, Yahshua says do not look for the Kingdom outside of yourself, for you can find it only within. And in that book, does Yahshua ever say to worship either the Father or Himself? No. We are of the same mindset . I also believe this is a state of mind that must be learned , and some fancy mnemonics's, or invocation is a generic and shamefully shallow substitute ...living a good life, showing the ideals in behavior that you wish to aspire to takes work , intraspection , meditation, and self awareness . Praying to Jesus on Sunday does not make you a good person necessarily. And imho does not grant someone a magic VIP pass. Then again Indont believe in eternal hell either ..unless you want to be there ( in some form ) Last Edited by Sisyphusrock on 01/17/2022 06:38 PM “I am at the moment writing a lengthy indictment against our century.

You can only perform traditional rituals pleasing to the eyes of others and yourself. God can be your brother. He can also be God Almighty. It depends on the situation. You wouldn't want to worship your buddy, right? That would be weird. You worship God Almighty when He shows as such. But as a person posts: How can you worship Him if you don't know Him? Answer: You can't. This is the problem that the Op has. But easily remedied... Ask God to show Himself to you... to speak to you. Be honest and ask Him stuff. If you are an atheist, then read the bolded part below (header: If you don't believe in God).... For all others: You are probably speaking regularly to God, right? Then ask God to reply. Daddies love to talk to their kids. Have a regular conversation with Him. "Jesus Loves You"... "If you don't believe me, ask Him". Say these things to the Most High God: - "In case I'm not Your child, then please make me Your child". - "Show Yourself to me" "I want to know you God..." - "I want to know You God... not just from my head.. but from my heart". - "I don't know what's coming down the road, but You do. Please prepare my heart, so that when it comes, I will be ready". For example - try one of these straightforward approaches on for size: - If you don't believe in God, say to God: God- I do Not believe that You exist. But if you do truly exist, please show Yourself to me... - If you think that there might be a God, but you're not sure, pray/say: I think that there might be a God, but I'm not sure. God, if You exist, then please show me that you are there - so that I know For Sure. - If you believe in God, but not in Jesus, say: God- I believe that You exist.... Show me the Way to You. I want to get to know You better. If I'm not Your child, then make me Your child. - If you believe in God and Jesus, pray/say: Jesus, please get my heart ready... so when you come back, I am ready for You. - And you know this, but saying: Oh God help me, Oh God help me - 100x out of desperation is not the same thing.... Specific requests / words will prompt specific responses. Just ask respectfully... like you are the creation, and He is the Creator.... - So if God - is God, then after asking respectfully, you Will get an answer. But if you don't get one, then obviously - God is not God, and you lost nothing by asking. - Just make sure that you ask God- the Most High. (This works for Muslims as well). No cheap substitute will do. You do this by simply saying so... "I am talking to the Most High God"... then whatever saying you want to use from above. And ask God sincerely / humbly.. not like you are God, and God is a dog that needs to jump through a hula-hoop... or with a preconceived answer in mind of what God will say. More like I mentioned above: like God is the Creator, and we are the creation. To put it another way, ask the way that you would want to hear it: If you are God, and someone was asking if you exist... .. .. .. |

Have you not forgotten your spiritual brotherly love?, for love is what we are.. did you just blushed?. But I didn't ask you to take your clothes off.. And one of them, a doctor of the law, questioned him, to test him: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him: “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. But the second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments the entire law depends, and also the prophets.” - Matthew 22:35-40 |

Who is able to make war with him?" And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

How does one define that without rothers? Or other external valuations?? Just doing good every day? Be kind? Service to others? This needs clarity. Otherwise it's not much different than what Crowley said, "Do what though wilt". And that gets dark quick. This entire thread is dark, worship of self, instead of the creator, Satan, in original sin, started looking at himself instead of the Godhead, hence the origination of Ego |

We were hoping we could make friends at a worship service, valuing another human being there spreading love and goodwill, but we were never invited to the after party, bbqs or camping trip. Tried to invite to do nature things, walks on beach and so on. Everyone too busy. It was strictly only "friends" for an hour and a half, sometimes more if there was an extended church event, then they want your money, yet cringe when we do go to them to ask for help.

The more the world personifies God as a male with "He, Him, His, Father, and Son", the more the world suppresses the Feminine because; Men lead while Women Follow, Men rule the world and Women are just our companions, like dogs, Men bring home the bread while women tend to the house, How many religions subjugate their women in gowns, burqas, from head to toe or compel them to wear bandanas, flannel shirts and skirts just below the knee? Does God want that, or is it men with control issues dictating these stipulations that propagate men over women? Better to just live in the pattern of Love with the occasional Fear to keep yourself in check. |
