You only need to have successfully meditated a few times, and all of a sudden the entire bible is clear ... 'eternal life' is just recognising (in life, while you are alive) that your energy will never 'die', it will return to the earth to make other life.

That is absolutely true... I haven't meditated for a while, but when I was consistent I got to know exactly what you mean.

Have you read 'the power of now' by eckhart tolle? I strongly recommend it if you haven't read it already. It offers some really simple principals which my philosophical mind really enjoyed - lots of references to 'god', the maker of all things. But in this case, god is the maker of life - and life is energy - therefore God is the sun, oxygen etc ...

I haven't, but now it's on my list. A good excuse for a trip to Barnes & Noble this weekend. Thanks for the tip.

I'll never forget the look on her face when my ex-husband asked her why Jesus didn't just turn the bad water into good water.

HAHAHA That's hilarious!
