    The past for the accommodation of the proof of such a physical being (could you prove it medically for certain) may or may not have existence for referred occurrences.

    The brain is like a computer each brain with it's own central processing unit. That kind of thing was said by the Allan Watts following.

    How presumptuous of you. To be frank, you have yet to see me even break a sweat.

    SInce then the concept of the intelligent and dumb terminal have come to play for the preferentially determined communication network.

    Well, actually, to be a glorifier is to be awestruck. Being glorified is not a choice made by the glorified, but by the glorifier.

    It's even harder with design than with artistically worded Creation to stay within the Glory of God; so nobody truly should try. This is why we have the Holy Bible.

    One can obviously choose for aiming to become glorified if he craves that kind of status.

    No, it's not my Ego which can only judge me. When I AM Good; I don't need any judgment but God's. I guess other people can prompt me on for success or failure. This is evident in the everyday (with work or not).

    For what purpose Frank? Our object is ease of being. If not for some friendly gametes we wouldn't be discussing this.

    There is a difference between grandiosity and grandeur. The grandiose sees greater and lesser. Grandeur inspires a singularly joyful and unavoidable response of gratitude and thus we are glorified in gods kingdom.

    True, but awestruckedness is a reaction reserved for the glorifier. The glorified may not even be aware that they are glorified.

    The recognition of real being for the fact that you are. For one it appears unbelievably good fortune a knock your socks off thrill and for another it is given you without reservations. If I never had a body I wouldn't have missed a thing.

    Yes - we determine our own actions.

    Just wanted to jump in here to say that first of all, of course we make ourselves "good" or "bad"- although I don't much like arbitrary labels like that.

    However I can't think of even one religion that claims that God makes them or a person good. They may claim that God offers forgiveness OR that FOLLOWING God helps them to do the "good thing"--- but the act of following God is still a choice of free will and also an ACTION.... so therefore of course, whether a person is religious or non-religious it is always what they do that makes them "good" or "bad" and I doubt many people have ever claimed otherwise.

    I'd have to ask WTF do we mean by the word 'glorified'? To me that doesn't seem like a very well defined term.
