God isn't a doctrine. I don't think you need to worry about that. What if God were you, having your experience? What would He think or do? That's a bit more the issue. And a bit more of the fact of the matter. Improving ourselves as aspects of God. Yes there is a God, and it's everything you...

This is an interesting topic. The good news, or maybe the bad news, is that you will always be you, no matter what happens. There isn't really such a thing as 'death', any more than leaving a room is a death. 'Separate' is maybe what dead is, and unity is the rule of law when you leave this...

That's really sweet. I think the idea of 'punishment is purely a human one. We punish each other and we punish ourselves. That's what and only what we need to be redeemed from. I believe there can be a hell, if that's what one chooses. But it's a choice, like every thing else. But the only...

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field, I'll meet you there." Rumi

I don't know that we 'need' intimate relationships, but we're in relationship of some kind with everything in our lives. We can use everything we're in relationship with to learn about ourselves. I enjoyed 27 years of intimate relationships, and now I enjoy being alone. I don't know if that's...

You aced the INFJ profile. Whatever you are, I like you. If an INFJ is one in a hundred, he/she has zero chance of meeting one in a hundred people because he/she is it. In a thousand people, there aren't any. They would never put themselves in a crowd of a thousand people. Just having fun:-)

The good news is the frightening idiot face of the Republican corporate party, and the 'bought and sold' face of the Democrat corporation, is forcing a new entity calling themselves 'progressives' which shouldn't be confused with Democrats. It could be associated with common sense and popular...

People that crave, or unconsciously need nurturing. Sadly who very often are narcissists. People who are conspicuously ambitious are very often very poor leaders. It's generally a long process of painful discovery for INFJs to learn to stop being used for the very qualities that make them a...

Gosh that's an intriguing question. I hit a great big goanna with my car while crossing a single lane bridge, There was no way to avoid it. They're not the most lovable of creatures, but I was sick for a week. No, I don't think I could live with myself.

BeautifulSuffering, So use your INFJness to lift yourself up, which is probably what you do for everyone else, if you're an INFJ. Treat yourself like you treat everyone else. Doctors are there to distribute the pharmaceutical manufacturers products. They don't really know any better. I grew up...

It'd be interesting to have a study on the relationship of school shooters, and antidepressant use. There probably is one. That would be a secret.

We don't come here to 'get' things. Not money, not stuff, not not partners or sex. We come here to learn of our own divinity. We came here to GIVE. That'll throw some wrenches. Those 'guys' have missed the point. So have a lot of women. You have to grow up into human adulthood, which is a very...

Someone told you you look 'flighty'. Their mistake. You're scanning. Sort them out first, so they remember not to try to get away with any more nonsense. And everyone else for that matter. Then get on with your scanning. Seeing 'everything' is what gives you your professional edge.

Thanks for that link. This all has an interesting timing to it. After a few years of protective isolation to recover from 'the world' and coming to a relatively clear understanding of what it is that's different about me, all of this information comes pouring in. I AM interested in the...
