Thread Name: Best way to live and die
Subject: RE: Best way to live and die
God - the Cosmic is impersonal. Humankind has free will. Generally humankind has proven, time and again, that when things are handed to them, without merit, they fail miserably at the BIG PICTURE things of life.

God - the Cosmic has no feelings, one way or another as to how much people toil, who "gets it" or who doesn't. God wished for us each to have all that we need and/or desire, BUT only as we believe and there's the rub. It is extremely difficult for any of us to believe so strongly and fully, as Jesus did, that we let go of our "little wills" entirely and beocme one with God, as he did. The paradox is as LH pointed out: we are all of us part of God, but we are out of sync for most of the time with that part of ourselves, that Higher Consciousness.

We are each one of us at a certain and individual point in our soul's growth and it is up to us as to how much we are open to learning the lessons which come to us and which, if we follow them, can lead to the attainment Jesus had, as LH has pointed out. Of course, that is my interpretation, your mileage may vary.:-)

Also, it matters not what path one chooses to follow, Jesus, Mahomet, Buddha...all can lead to the same thing, enlightenment and AtONEness with the Cosmic/Creator/God/Goddess, etc.
