James gives more insight to his MIND

 If at the end God picks some to be in his heavenly choir and they live in his light forever singing songs of praise for eternity, that will probably be because that is what they conceive heaven to be. I on the other hand would find that an absolute Hell. He would probably cast me into the abyss (from the choirs’ perspective) of playing my Les Paul very loud at a party with my other “sinner” Friends. We might even be doomed to having endless philosophical discussions. Now to some this would be Hell, to me it would be Heaven. So it is in this human existence, what some find pleasing, others abhor. If in the end we become one with all and are totally serene I will be good with that. Because we are all, in my option, parts of the separated whole I am sure that I will find (or be given) the exact place I belong.  This includes my body returning to the dust that it was made of to perpetuate the natural order. I may offend some here, but the idea of isolating my physical vessel from the rest of nature in a coffin would be, to use a common term, purgatory.  I would not be, as I was, yet not allowed to become part of the natural order, to be recycled for the benefit of the whole. To me the end of human existence should be rejoiced as ascension, instead of being ego driven by those around us as a loss to be mourned. I admit that we do suffer personal loss by the death of a loved one, but if we accept we are part of the greater whole we should mourn for those of us left behind still isolated from the whole. I believe that the universe, God, the natural order to be the same, and as mankind we lead an isolated frustrating existence, knowing we are a part of a greater whole that in this moment we are separated from. That does not exclude the concept of reincarnation, it is more evidence of it.  Just as trees are born, live, and die, the fact is they become the fertile soil that promotes new life. So we to become the “soil” both physically and spiritually for new life. Just as we are separated yet still part of the whole, we may return in other forms as new life.

More Thoughts from JD

I most certainly missed many valuable ideas because I insisted on others conforming to my exact vocabulary structure. I wish I had been wiser and less vain. It is a common problem among those who do think to believe they have figured out more than others are capable of, so we doggedly cling to our meanings of words. It is a travesty to write off valuable insights of others because of our own limitations. Another point I would like to express now is that I spent most of my time pursuing carnal pleasure instead of seeking fulfillment for my “soul”.  I keep feeding my body and staving my soul. That is why I ask tolerance for my inability in communicating the revelations I am having or recently had. I denied for years what I knew to be the truth because I did want to face reality and accept what I thought I wanted wasn’t even close to what would give me real satisfaction. On the whole, whether it is through genetics or environment, we have accepted our own individual beliefs. Until it became overwhelming, I continued to believe that certain things were merely coincidence and had nothing to do with the natural order. I am gifted and instead of appreciating that it was a gift, I thought I knew everything and no one else had a clue. Let alone the fact that there was a higher power who allowed us free will yet held us accountable for our choices. That does not mean I think there is a great Day of Judgment when we will have our noses rubbed in our mistakes. I believe it is more that we are in a constant state of learning and there is a much more immediate cause and effect, action and reaction, which is a growth process. Of course there may be some finally quiz over the lesson of life to see if we “got it”. But as for eternal damnation, that would have to be relative to the individual.

James Dangers Thoughts

While reading this remember that I don’t know anything. Some is written from what I believe or my perspective and some is truly inspired. I interchange many terms because I believe them to be different names for the same phenomenon. I will give you some examples of general groupings. I am not dictating what you should believe, that is your choice, I’m just presenting concepts, ideas, as well as food for thought and some food for the soul. That is an example of terms I may interchange. The things of man, food for thought, evil, temptation, the work of the devil, are not necessarily the same but they fall into the same general category. Those are all things of this world and don’t get hung up that I think thinking is evil or that mankind is inherently wrong and a plague or disease to the bloodstream of the universe. I believe we, as all life, are created by the seed of Life, light, God, the natural order, the life force. Once again those terms I group together because I don’t want you to get hung up on terminology. I don’t know the name of God, so I use familiar terms in an effort to communicate ideas. I will not presume to know which is correct, I am just in hope that you will allow the terminology, and reach for the content and not judge the syntax. I am after only human and though from time to time I am fed by the Source, I also interject my personal observations. These observations may be in total discord with your beliefs. But if you will overlook my humanity and read for content and realize which is inspired and what is opinion, then you will understand that I am admitting I know I know nothing, but from time to time am given real insight. My purpose is not to offend anyone and if I use terms, which for you are diametrical opposed, please feel free to substitute a term of your own choice that represents the overall concept. It took me along time to free my mind enough to do that very thing. Someone would use a certain word with relation to a concept that pushed my buttons, instead of letting it go as part of humanities flaws in their attempt to communicate, I would debate the use of the word and lose track of the concept. I often derailed very insightful and meaningful communication by distracting the individual with rhetoric until the whole point was lost. I have since made an attempt to listen for the content and accept the fact that we used different terms for the same idea. I hope you will do the same and grasp the principle concept, instead of shutting off your mind because I didn’t use your terminology.
