My fellow worms
by frankiespeakin inwell my fellow worm, isn't it so nice that god loves us his little worms.
i think we need to see ourselves for what we really are compared to god,, if we ever really want to "see god" not with the eyes or physical senses but with the higher senses that use not light or sound.

"Where God Enters" 14th century Mystic,, Meister Eckhart
by frankiespeakin ini went to the library and pick up this book which is a translation of some of meister eckhart's sermons.
creatures cannot enter the soul, nor can the soul know anything about a creature whose image she has not willingly taken into herself.
now god needs no image and has no image: without image, likeness, or means does god work in the soul, in her ground wherein no image ever entered other than himself with his own essence.

Fooled, Controlled, and Abused by the watchtower.
by frankiespeakin ini first got the "trufh" when i was 19. knowing little about the bible being a catholic, i was searching for god, and was too trusting and too naive to see that i was being brought under watchtower mind control.. for 29 years, i let the watchtower tell me how to think, tell me how to interpret scriptures, and that was painful for me, coming out of mind control, is an unpleasant experience, dealing with cognitive dissonance, having your whole life turned upside down,.
when i found out the watchtower is a false prophet, i warned my family the best i could.
and for that i was rewarded by the watchtower bible track society with disfellowshipment, with subsequent shunning by many close family members and close friends.. .

A World Without Suffering Posted Model
by frankiespeakin ina world without suffering
let's make an imaginary model, a world without suffering.
the consequences would be far-reaching.. and for example if no one could ever injure anyone else, the would be murderers knife would turn to paper or his bullets to thin air.. or take for example the mountain climber, or steeplejack, or the playing child falling from a height, would float unharmed to the ground.. the reckless driver would never meet with disaster.
