    Christians make the same mistake that Muslims do...worshipping the
  messenger instead of following the message.
   Jesus said, "You are as I am" [paraphrased?]
   So, if Jesus is God, so are each of us in concert, God ,and there is no
  real division between any of us and each other or God.
   Therefore , all seeming divisions are illusions we hold by way of our
  denial of our own God power to create the world we live in.
   The galdern rule really is, "You CANNOT do onto another without doing onto
  yourself" [in a positive OR negative fashion] But you also have the power
  of misperception inherent in true power.
   It would seem that "being" God, each and every one equally, is an awesome
  responsibility that we just don't care to address. We want to give that
  power away [them blame someone else for having it]. WE are so powerful that
  we can even believe we are powerless...and prove it.
   So we don't often use our powers of creation consciously. We consistantly
  mistake what "power" IS, thinking that it exists somewhere outside of
  us...thinking that it has something to do with intimidation when
  intimidation and being intimidated is about DENYING power rather than
  having it.
  But...and a great BIG but...we cannot not use those powers that we have "AS
  God".
  ..and what we experience as our collective reality is the sum average of
  everyones creative power that they cannot not use.
   Each persons experience is 'tilted' towards their personal beliefs and
  events 'tend' to be attracted to them accordingly by way of various
  mechanisms.

   Bottom line:  God is not against anyone. God has no preference to what we
  create. NOTHING can threaten God.
   According to that point of view..and what Jesus 'said', "WE" cannot be
  threatened any more than God can.
   But we CAN misidentify ourselves and experience threat no matter how
  untrue it may be.
   "The kingdom of heaven is at hand" does not mean it's coming...it means
  it's here, now... and never wasn't here. But it also means we can make our
  experience of it as we wish because THAT'S WHAT WE DO and it's something
  that we CANNOT NOT DO. [What we wish doesn't change Heaven, it only changes
  what we see it as.]
   WE have all eternity, cannot "really" be harmed and God knows it. So, any
  preference is mute. The choice of our experience is totally ours to make
  and MUST be made...it cannot not be made. The only choice we DON'T have is
  the choice to not choose.
   God has all eternity for us to clear our minds. He is not waiting...[time,
  being irrelevent to eternity, "waiting" has no meaning]
   The creative gift was given without restrictions, as perfect,
  indescrimiatory and as absolute as the giver.  But we will experience that
  which we cannot not do, no matter what.

   One of the greatest powers we have is that of perception. [It may well be
  the ONLY 'real' power that exists.]  It can be said that the power of
  perception is the actual mechanism of reality creation. It cannot not be used.
   Perception is a feedback loop. One sees an event, places a meaning upon it
  [forms a belief], acts according to that belief, experiences the event
  according to how it was handled, then confirms the belief according to what
  'apparently' happened...and filters all future perception through that
  filter, re-creating and re-inforcing that belief over and over again. 
   [Perception actually goes much further than that...actually creating
  perceptions of perceptive organs and places for them to perceive events in]
  Good spirals better. Bad spirals worse...each confirming itself "as true".
   When a person percieves threat, he denys his own power, placing it in the
  hands of another. Then he wants it back and attacks.  As long as power is
  placed in the hands of another and is percieved as something that can be
  stolen, traded etc..there will always be fear  [perceptions of
  powerlessness] and the accompanying preemptive attack [defense]

   Were Palestinians, Isrealis [anyone] willing to stand for what they
  believe instead of kill for it, they would be unstoppable..and few would
  want to stop them.
   But, they believe they have no power. They believe someone else has it,
  that it was stolen. They believe they can kill for it, that, somehow
  killing for power will return it to them.
   The problem here is that, if a person believes power can be stolen, it can
  be stolen from them, therefore, it must be defended rather than simply
  applied.
   Power cannot be stolen, only mis-defined and denied by falsely identifying
  who and what you are.

   The peaceful [meek is the wrong word] shall eventually inherit the Earth
  both because they create perceptions of co-operation AND those who believe
  in helplessness and fear will destroy all of their own kind. [because
  that's what that perception/believe does] 
   
  This planet [in general] is suffering from a basic delusion.
   Something to ponder:
   If a person is unwilling to live in hell, he will either create heaven all
  around him or leave this hell.
   Either way works.
   Creating relative hells and blaming each other for the perception of them
  does not.

  All religions are false.
   They each miss the point that the founders of those religions were trying
  to make as the disciples of those messengers perverted the message
  according to 'thier' beliefs, not held by the messenger. [If those beliefs
  were not different, there would be no message]
   God is whole ...the very definition of 'whole'...and needs nothing. Not
  worship, not homage, no pats on the back...NOTHING.
   Perceptions, being subject to the limitations of belief, do not accurately
  describe reality.
   Any idea of differences between us is a delusion no matter how justified
  self validating perceptions seem to make them.
   The space between us is defined by what cannot see
  much...indeed...space/time itself. That which can see all , all at once, as
  it is, knows what is really happening [nothing that can't be totally
  changed by changing how it is seen]
   There is [really] no space anywhere that is not created by limiting the
  perception of it.

   There are none who are trapped except in their own unwavering mind.
  Beliefs about reality do not limit it, they only limit the perception of it
  and what gets done with it.

   If a cell thought it was a discrete individual denying it's connection to
  the body it was a part of, we would call it cancer.

   "Individual" and "absolute connection" are not opposite terms.

   basic clue
   You are not your body, your body is a perceptual product of you.
   The body does not have a soul. A soul has a body..many of them , in fact,
  in many times, places and dimensions.  As many as it can imagine...as it,
  itself, was imagined by another soul. [see fractals]
   The brain is in the mind..not vice versa. 
  The brain is a perceptive filter and information processor that sees a
  portion of the mind that's relative to this particlar reality construct.
   "Beliefs" are the programs that brain runs information through. Beliefs
  define perceptions by placing values upon input that determine what is to
  be seen or ignored, which in turn validate beliefs.

  Programs can be very poorly written and still function for a while before
  they crash.
   Believe nothing. The truth is everywhere, unchanged by perceptions of it.

  But..no one knows they're asleep till they wake up, right?
  From Gods viewpoint, all is [pre] forgiven because none of it is real.
   It is US who must learn to use our own minds...our own power...if this
  reality is to remain in mind.
