I Am A "christian" And I Swear That I Am Up To "no Good", How much do we know about Religion? Options

My name is Alexander - I am of greek descent - and a Nigerian by birth. Although I was born and raised in a catholic home, I have always embrassed self-image believing that God sees through my eyes. Although it may sound ridiculous, everything seems like a setup leaving me with the question of "why life is". My hunger for knowledge has driven me to search for the ultimate goal (probably it's all a propaganda "to whom it may concern") and has made me become aware of the innate forces resident in man.

Embracing all that is driven by will, I am gradually opening my minds eye (after a series of meditation on the question of life above) that even the bible does reveal unto man (in Gen 3:22) the mysteries of "HE" who possesses many "names", "forms" and who is reponsible for the "beginning" and the "end" of "all things". I have come to realise that HE has left us to decide our own fate but has deprived us of logevity (I guess most of us know the story). HE also made it clear that life (power to create) and death (power to destroy) resides in us, but that we should choose "life". How then can we understand life when we have just a little of it to "live"?

Another mind bugging question raised by my "loving Jesus" - "Don't ye know that ye are gods? Yet you die like mere mortals..." I would rather not bore you with babblings and rants about self-awareness. This is where I cut the chase. The word of HE (hail him) has made it clear enough for us to follow but yet "christianity" makes it more confusing by the day. I am not surprised that there seem to be quite some disunity in the religion (and even other religions) today, for it is written "...And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you..." -- (1 Cor 12:21 - I encourage you to read through the whole chapter) -- and yet they twist the doctrine to satisfy their own selfish intent. It is not my place to judge any religion or culture. However, my understanding of a good "religion" should be innate and devoid of selfishness and sarcasm -- for there are many out there who know the truth and are holding it back just so they can be gods in their parlour of deceit, extortion and avarice.

I discovered the bible already talked about clairvoyance, telepathy, astral projection and so on but not exactly in detail. We sometimes associate these things with "mind" (of which I am in congruence) but the bible simply uses "spirit". Here's a clue from the following verses i've extracted from the bible (it doesn't matter if you belong to any particular religion just read for the fun of it):

John 16:13
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

"but whatsoever he shall hear" -- could this be the reason for telepathy, clairvoyance, and/or empathy as you need to enquire of the mind (psychically) these things?

Read on ...

Galatians 5:17
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

1 Corinthians 2:10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

In the previous two verses "searcheth" and "lusteth" somehow describe enquiries into the mind (or rather the true/spiritual nature) of man and as it affects his physical existence. Also, could the statement "ye cannot do the things that ye would" be limitation of the flesh driven by logic wherewith we find it hard to influence matter at will? I wonder.

Romans 8:5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Distinguishes the Telekinetic capable of psychic phenomenon from the untrained eye who regards himself as everyday man or "...mere mortals..." just as Jesus described it.

Seeking the truth can be daunting and sometimes a confusing task. Perhaps you may have to read several books and even try different "religions" of which the true religion in borne of the desires within. Regardless of your religion, you are entitled to your opinion of life but should treat your earthly religion as a basis for the innate (MEDITATION).

This is where I take a break from typing. However, I believe that things of the "spirit" (or mind) are as real as the things of the physical, but also the physical is influenced (or created) by the things of the spirit (or mind). How then can the physical be more real than the things of the spirit?

that...is a very interesting way of looking at yourself, myself, ourselvs...i always had conflict of self, in a sense of where does this come from, desire or love? but i quite enjoyed the way you portrayed yourself in my mind, as to not wonder from where questions come from, but rather to ponder them in the sense of spirit (not flesh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

recently (yessterdays) i was reading about archetypes of the psyche, basicly like what makes you YOU...its strange...i used to belive, oh that guy on the corner i could have been him, that rich bastered, i could have been him, and in a way we seem to be, and are! but there is a clear distinguishment, somthing that makes you you, and no one else can be better than you at what you do...>.^ and leading up to another topic of discussion hel could be the mere fact of you pushing so far away from that you, to try an fit into a cultural norm (a lie, a demon, etc,) that you sucessfully put yourself in a position where nothing is possible but pure pain an sufffering, although as long as we live on this earth suffering will happen, but i belive that is rather our gift than curse, those who fail to see that as so, will live in misery and much woe,...eye belive in Jesus the King of Kings and its sought me well on my spiritual path so far, i think the reason a lot of people dont is because of a falst image of him,...anyway i very much enjoyed tasting your mind, plz, come again\

namaste all souls
