hah all good, busy is good

Worked the second half of the day working by myself operating a forklift, pulling and loading orders by hand, banding them, filling out paper work, and stacking them

I'm being architect and Carpenter of a lot of different rooms right now in a warehouse type space. So much work it's been weeks and so much to do. I think I broke a rib. But that was more than a week ago now so feels a lot better. Looking forward to devoting more time to the ashram. But it does feel like compared to before that God is really kicking butt in my life right now.

What is ashram? Does Jesse believe in ashram?

are you offended by "dojo"?

and are vegans kosher?

here's some info. also, Jesse is an incarnation of God.

also, is it ok with you guys if I use metaphor and stuff?

Words have meaning and signifigance, but God is above words.

God said "Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear." in the Bhagavad Gita 18:66

That was written about 2000 years before "hinduism" was invented

The effort of Man to know God is beginningless, and must also be endless. It is the eternal way. The English word "Religion" says very very little to me. But there is an earlier word that is equivalent, and that word has a few different meanings, ranging from scientific to sociological. That word is "Dharma" That word is used differently by several different 'religions.' The word 'religion' does not evolve, it's a throwaway word without any useful context or application.

I now quote Wikipedia:
"In Hinduism, dharma signifies behaviours that are considered to be in accord with Ṛta, the order that makes life and universe possible,[10][note 1] and includes duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and "right way of living".[11] In Buddhism, dharma means "cosmic law and order",[10] and is also applied to the teachings of the Buddha.[10] In Buddhist philosophy, dhamma/dharma is also the term for "phenomena".[12][note 2] Dharma in Jainism refers to the teachings of tirthankara (Jina)[10] and the body of doctrine pertaining to the purification and moral transformation of human beings. For Sikhs, the word dharm means the path of righteousness and proper religious practice.[13]

The word dharma was already in use in the historical Vedic religion, and its meaning and conceptual scope has evolved over several millennia.[14] The antonym of dharma is adharma. "

Interesting

Religion does feel empty in comparison to other words like dharma, karma, etc. the concepts are always interesting

Does Jesse believe all this junk you're saying?

@J_G_

You know he's a Christian, right? Jesus said I am the Way the Truth and the Life.

Jesse is a man.

How's that attitude treating you?

psalms 118:22

You can't be Christian & a new age Hindu hippy at the same time.

Are you playing God?

Nope

phew! that was close.

Lol but seriously the Bible talks about gods of false religion actually being demons. Like the Hindu gods

there's no room in the universe for anything else but God

God plays all the parts, and is beyond our judgement

Exactly

Just because you’re a Christian doesn’t mean you can’t learn all other spiritual practices of the world & read up

That’s not the same thing as worshiping idols and such, only learning and finding patterns
