Are women tougher than men?

Like the US, where deranged ex husbands regularly murder their ex spouse?

You seriously think it's more dangerous here to divorce than in some other countries?

I think making broad assumptions based on divorce rates alone is silly, that's all.

I'd like to see the couple with the two egoless saints.

 

Just don't overlook and there it is.

 

There isn't a couple though, just Christ.

 

This might help:

 

⁴A mind and body cannot both exist. ⁵Make no attempt to reconcile the two, for one denies the other can be real. ⁶If you are physical, your mind is gone from your self-concept, for it has no place in which it could be really part of you. ⁷If you are spirit, then the body must be meaningless to your reality. (ACIM, W-96.3:4-7)

 

Take a look at any "person" that comes to mind, literally anyone. Forget the body and look in him/her for what is not here nor there, not this nor that. Look for that which is not touched by anything in this world, not one bit, and which is wholly loving, forgiving and innocent.

Precisely, there wouldn't be relationships weren't it for ego.

 

And how did Jesus not sacrifice?

Not just statistics, take Mandy's word for it too, "finances".

There wouldn't be a lack of relationships were it not for ego.

There would be relationships between non individuals?

People have gotten married maaaaany times for health insurance reasons and other tax reasons. That's not a good situation and I believe that our government should address it.

Already are.

Yup, there's just love. Whatever the ego seems to come up with only seems to be there, but never actually is.

 

"Love is the absence of people."  - Rupert Spira

 

The persons that seem to be in a relationship are projections of separation, or guilt. If there is but a whif of a separate selvery, there is guilt. If there is but a whif of guilt, there is separate selvery. They're synonymous. There is absolutely nothing for you in the ego. It is not your friend.

Not sure what you're asking.

 

The narrative that Jesus somehow sacrificed something to fix something is exactly the ego's insane obsession with sacrifice. That theology is probably just some sort of a nutjob attempt to make the nonsensical belief, need of sacrifice, to "work": the ultimate salvation would require the ultimate sacrifice. A cow is not enough, we need the blood of the son of god himself.

 

Meanwhile the point that guy was trying to make is that there is no need for sacrifice; separation never happened. We are already saved.

 

What that whole ordeal "was" really "about" is that there is no guilt and so it never even happened. That's the message of the crucifixion if there never was any. Salvation. Cessation.

My advice to young men, don't invest a lot in dating, focus more on yourself, for yourself. If you come across a great gal snatch her up, otherwise just casually date and focus on yourself, then gradually focus on dating more seriously.

Jesus wasn't nailed to a cross?

In all seriousness though, there is something that no woman, whoever she is, can resist... No matter how masculine or whatever you are. It's You. 💗

 

That's too good of an offer for anyone to not take.

 

Those gals might think they're looking for a provider, a superstar, a masculine powerhouse. But when they see You, spaghetti legs. All barriers broken, all survival mechanisms melted. They thought it was impossible, and so did you. But that's the real power of You.

 

BE AS YOU ARE.

 

LET GO.

 

THAT'S THE POWER OF LOOOOVE

Wow, sure would like to know how you all come up with that, I studied the Bible lightly for about 10 years, different versions even.

 

Start another thread on that?

 

Earlier you said Paul was a quack, do you know he wrote 90% of the new testament?

The Bible was never meant to be taken literally, it's pure allegory like the bhagavad gita.  

BTW sacrificial/resurrection gods are the emblem of the age of pisces, which we are leaving.
