Wrong Path?

[Muslimwoman]

Thank you Dauer.

Do you know if anyone has done a study of regional food in places where 'prophets' tend to pop up? I am thinking that so many Prophets (for the Abrahamic faiths) came form one area of the world and there is vegetation particular to that region. I am sure you will see where I am going with this thought.

mw,

You mean halucinogenics? I think that's a possibility too. I'm not aware of any studies along those lines but it's possible someone's researched it. I've heard claims to that but never seen anything to support the claims. And then there's also ecstatic and contemplative practices as a tool for reaching altered states.

I wasn't suggesting a deliberate attempt to get stoned and 'hear G-d' but just wondering if anyone had heard theories about something in the regions diet that may have this effect. I like to consider all possibilities, even if I reject them after reading.

Message to everyone:

You are on the right path! Congratulations.... Everyone around you however is on the wrong path....

[Muslimwoman]

Great news 17th. See we all said we were right LOL

[17th Angel]

I would laugh in the spirit/angels face and say "well DERRR You'd know... Tell me the right path... And I'll consider it."

[Muslimwoman]

LMAO. I did think about that answer when I wrote the question but of course that would be fast tracking and I'm not sure G-d does a fast track option.

I give you pen and paper..... I want you to draw me a clown... Because a clown would make me chuckle, I would be happy.... I say to you however... Draw me the one thing right at this moment that would make me happy! I don't tell you what it is... But I get upset when you draw the wrong thing..... Upset so much I fathom a place in my dreams to torment you, we'll call it hell for argument sake..

You can see I am upset by what you have drawn, and can see there is only one specific thing that can solve this.... So wouldn't you just ask what I wanted drawn? And If I didn't tell you, ain't I just an ass?

I can't argue with your logic at all 17th. I feel that G-d has told us very specifically what He wants (and it ain't that complicated) but people then feel the need to 'spice' it up and add bits and twist bits and make it as complicated as possible to ensure they are not mistaken for the 'other gang'.

Yeah but, that's what he says right? Like Jehovah says there is no other godd but him, and so on and so forth... So you can see even with a "right path" option being available to everyone, there are so many that say this is the right path and this is what god wants.... But without god himself coming downstairs and telling you to your face this is this and that is that.... You cannot be 100% you are right, and it's just crazy! lol... Cause you just will never know till your six foot under.

I couldn't agree more, hence my stance that all or no religion may be right, because until we stand before G-d and He tells us the difference between us, we are just guessing and being arrogant if we claim to know the truth above all others. This is why I love the declaration I quoted in my previous post, it simply says there is no G-d but G-d, it leaves the door open to all sorts of possibilities. The fact that I call Him Allah and someone else calls Him by another name does not make Him different G-ds, it just means we call Him by different names.

I like to imagine him as a childhood version of myself, but only with a beard.

[Muslimwoman]

I imagine He has a very childlike quality, innocence is generally childlike is it not? He probably has a little impish streak too and I should think you were a little imp.
