In the Holy Land people sell falafel on the steets you know in little boutiques and the vendor is usually an arab but he's really nice and always has to joke with you about something and then there are the clean streets no dirt no dirt at all anywhere and you have the wailing wall where a hundred people dressed in black stand and cluelessly pray for egotistical wishes no one prays for peace anymore people just pray for themselves in the holy land.
i think were all worthy of living in a blessed land... in the truly holy land, nobody sells anything, they share, i believe the holyland was in the old soviet union somewhere
Hahahahahaha! Having lived in the old soviet union... Ahh... I remember standing in a line for bread with my mother as a 4 year old... ahh, tis was a nice 5 hours in the freezing cold.
Roll with me on this thought. Based on Jewish Teachings, When Noah sailed the great sea's for 40 days and nights (Actually it was longer) and came to rest in Turkey on Mount Ararat.. Where did they first start their journey. because with winds that strong, I wouldn't be surprized if The orriginal lands came from the Americas. Perhaps the Garden of Eden was in California and not what we know as Iraq, today!
I think the whole point of the garden of eden is that we CAN'T get there physically...we have to create it for ourselves on earth...
I personally think that our existence on earth IS hell, and that heaven is our idealized version of this world...like in your dreams and wishes
all things being holy, some holy things tottaly sucking, and my own personal reality being hell... i dunno where im going with that... ice tea gives me heartburn,,, and ignorance is bliss
I could choose to go on seriously, or I could not do this. I'm going to be serious anyway, and get into theological and philosophical issues... To me, there IS a god. But there isn't a devil or hell, or anything like that. I guess in a sense, I think that everything is equal, and everything is arbitrary. But at the same time, I do believe that there is right and wrong. But I don't think wrong exists, or evil. I just think its the absence of good. I don't know how to explain it all...I guess this is some of what I've learned from my psychedelic trips...I've felt this energy that everything is a part of...I became one with it (I guess its called enlightenment, but of course it couldnt last forever.) It was beyond time, or anything physical. I strongly felt the presence of god. And I came to the realization that we are all a part of this, and this thing which is beyond words or expression is what everything means. I guess its been described as the Aum, and theres lots of different names for it...but thats what I felt. and I learned that there is no evil. Beings can just fall out of this energy, and float farther from the sphere. It was all pretty strange, but that's sort of my beliefs. The holy land is not a physical place that can be located.
