I am contemplating the meaning. are you celebrating? it starts at 223 pm pacific time. 

and full moon today

Yes

It's not important. I have found that you don't need meditation. All you need is sincerity in your heart.

No one told me. I know from experience.

What do you mean, who told me?

why can't I?

Some might not need it. I do.

No I never have. I do my own versions of meditation

why are you such an ass?

It is a way to try to connect with God.

I have started my meditation practice again. It has been a few years. I am hoping to get to a state of consciousness where I can reach God. 

what is reality

How do you determine what is real?

According to your system of "justice", if hitler is saved, he also gets off scott free. 

Some DO claim certain drugs can create religious experience. I have never tried that though. Probably never will. 

I'm not sure. There may be some aspects that need to be outwardly focused. I think there may be reasons for certain things, such as where holy sites are built. Many churches and cathedrals have been built on top of "pagan" holy sites. I don't think this is just a matter of appropriation. I think some sites may have something to them that draws people to them. Not sure what it is, but I think something real is going on. 

It's not bad. It's the smart thing to do.

Sure. God put me into a different state of consciousness. He opened my chakras. He showed me the mistakes I've made in my life. He showed me that Revelation is an inner battle, not an outer one. 

Of course I would. 

There is a place that only God can occupy,and that involves a different state of consciousness. Only God can bring you there.

This is the problem with your religion. 

Some of us are interested in other's religions and their practices. 

I would have to say yes.

That is because it shows the general attitude that a lot people have in the first place. 

Even words on a screen can affect people's feelings castin.

Yes or no answers my question. Why are you obfuscating?

I didn't ask how to see God. I asked if you have. a very simple question, with a very simple answer.

So you've never seen God, never experienced God, yet you are a theist. Why?

I will take that as a no then.

Have you seen God Mopac?

Then what does it mean? No word play please.

You have no knowledge, or Truth. All you have are circular definitions with no real meanings.

Did God create spider wasps? Carnivores who eat living beings? 

The difference is God has a mind and can make decisions. Gravity can't. You really don't think God is responsible for his own actions?

Everyone is responsible for their own actions. even God.

we can't. we can only make guesses based on our own experience.

I don't really have a definition. But i know what it feels like. awareness of my own thoughts, my emotions, my environment to some extent. 

I don't think it is possible without awareness. this is why i have changed my mind on all things having free will, such as electrons. i think things need to be alive to have consciousness, and thus free will. 

no. i don't know how they think and make decisions. i cant even really guess with a dog. But i do believe they have awareness,and the ability to make decisions. even a bacteria does.

Yes all living organisms have free will. some may not realize it though. I don't think it requires a brain.

why does an organism "need" to survive? That implies an impetus of some kind.

still implies that there is a choice to be made. If there were no free will, we would all be robots. no need for thinking and feeling. 

You can't be "provoked" into doing anything if there are no free will choices. 

How can a feeling provoke a behavior if the organism has no choice in the matter?

what is the point of feelings at all if there is no free will?

I'm not sure what you mean. One is a feeling,an emotion, the other is an intellectualization. A thought. 

Ok. I don't believe you don't FEEL like you have free will. 

You don't accept you have free will, yet you feel you do. Is that correct?

Well that's good.
