Greetings from Ballina, New South Wales to my forum brothers and sisters. I was baptised at birth in the Church of England (Australia), and at that time dedicated by my parents to God, confirmed at age 11 and went up the front at an evangelical rally at age 13. I left the church at age 20.
At age 20 I had a realisation, at age 44 I had an awakening and at age 56 (two years ago) I had a heart attack and open heart surgery from which I am now fully recovered. That's when I met Raechel. We're getting married on 11 February 2011.
I know [God] as eternal love, eternal bounty and personal protection, as the local node of divine intelligence within me, assisted by the beings outside, seen and unseen, who motivated by divine intelligence want only to lift up their brothers, help them as they grow, heal them when needed, and who join in a plan for our return to [heaven].
[God] cannot be defined. It [means] something like "that that is, as it is, outside and beyond time, the ultimate source and power. "
[Heaven] is a state of mind in which constant communion and love between [God] and [Son] is the vibrant, joyful, ever-satisfying, and perfect reality, and where [Son] includes you. With a bit of luck there'll be harp playing too. Heheh.
I'm putting certain words in brackets because I don't normally use those terms, and because they may mean different things to me than to you. The brackets say, "Warning: this term is approximately what I mean, and the closest in Biblical terminology to what I have in mind."
That's more than I meant to say, but hello, how are you? May [God] richly bless you and bring you and me to ever greater awareness of our purpose and path.
