hey God.....

Sometimes I would like to ask God why he allows poverty, suffering, and injustice when He could do something about it. But I’m afraid He would ask me the same question.

On the other hand, your resources are severely limited, and his are not, so it is this very question that was partly responsible for why I stopped believing in God. I literally concluded that it was more respectful to not believe in an omnipotent being who's okay with his creatures being miserable than it is to believe in one.; February 13, 2012 5:45 PM
julie said...: LOL...could be.
Well, I can look at this many ways....we could say God has given us all the resources we need for everyone on the planet to be cared for...This is an abundant planet...but along with all this abundance we were also given free will and that can certainly screw things up...:-)...and if there is something bigger, a god, I think he/she just watches us, like a movie...laughing and weeping and watching to see what we do next...hoping for the best.

Snowbrush said...: Julie, sometimes I don't know whether to respond or not. On the one hand, I like to dialogue, but on the other, my disagreement could be taken as somehow inappropriate.... I'll go ahead and do it this time anyway.

As I see it, we live on a planet upon which life is unavoidably unfair. For example, even if you are right and we could plant enough food for everyone to have enough to eat, it would be at a tremendous cost to other species. And then there's all the suffering that we couldn't prevent no matter how much we tried, For example, planes would still crash, babies would still have birth defects, children would still die in playground accidents, teenagers would still drown on picnics, and so on. We humans, COULDN'T prevent suffering. God, if he really is as he's usually presented, could prevent all suffering, and he could do it without anything good being lost.; February 14, 2012 7:20 PM
julie said...: You know, either way things aren't going so well...if there is a god, he/she doesn't seem to care, or figures we have everything we need to figure it out ourselves...I just don't know... :-); February 14, 2012 7:32 PM

Does this resonate...?

“A new consciousness and a totally new morality are necessary to bring about a radical change in the present culture and social structure. This is obvious, yet the Left and the Right and the revolutionary seem to disregard it. Any dogma, any formula, any ideology is part of the old consciousness; they are the fabrications of thought whose activity is fragmentation - the Left, the Right, the centre. This activity will inevitably lead to bloodshed of the Right or of the Left or to totalitarianism. This is what is going on around us. One sees the necessity of social, economic, and moral change but the response is from the old consciousness, thought being the principal actor. The mess, the confusion, and the misery that human beings have got into are within the area of the old consciousness, and without changing that profoundly,every human activity- political, economic or religious- will only bring us to the destruction of each other and of the earth.”
-J. Krishnamurti, “This Light in Oneself”

Dear Julie!
The pleasure was definitely all mine!!! I love what we created and the time spent with the nice women and YOU!!! I named my doll "Avia". She is proudly hanging with all of yours in my living room. I thought you would like to know that I have started 3 more. I have "Mother Nature" ready to get a body, a cat (who's head is a bit large and heavy?? ack! and a small face, yet to be determined. I bought decorative pieces and fabrics based on "feeling" as I shop along. I feel as if you have opened a whole new world to me, and for that I thank and bless you, my friend! I am amazed at my own ability to restrain myself and not feel "rushed" to completion on these soft sculptures. I like to let them make their own "evolution" of sorts. I usually feel a sense of urgency to get things done quickly, to see it done, but not with these.
Thank you for your generosity of spirit and love. I love you and your beautiful soul.
Hugs,
Lisa

Hi Julie,

Well no wonder I was drawn to it - I've been calling Celtic energy to myself for several years now! :-)

I loved the workshop, being surrounded by women's energy, tapping into creative energy, and just giving myself a day to be free. And, I love my doll! She has an honored place in my home.

Thank you so much for sharing your creative inspiration with us!

Peace and blessings, Alcia

I loved the "entire" day. Good play, good times, good food, great company! My "goddess" is wonderful. It's amazing how everyone created their own "person" - THANK YOU!!!

My friends Ellen, Laurel and Alisha also had a great day. Can't wait for your mask workshop!!
