My OperaTolerance,love and peace

This blog is mainly about tolerance, and how difficult it is to live "the good life" For me the good life is the same as the right life. A life where I love God, his creations and myself. Only through loving the first two I can truely love myself, because I and God's creation are interdependent. I do not believe that God is dependent on anything.
In Norway we have recently had a discussion on hijab in the police force. It is strange to think that the Bible, and epecially St. Paul, says a lot more about/for hijab than the Koran, wich only mentions it indirectly as far as I know.
But Paul was a very wise man. His words:
So there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, between slaves and free men, between men and women: you are all one in union with Christ Jesus (Gal. 3. v.28). form a sort of background for my understandig of "tolerance".
It is strange that it took the church more than 1000 years to understand this with slaves and free men, and we are still working on / clearly not undrestanding, the truth about men and women yet. And we will probably never understand/practice his "Song of love" untill our hearts of stone is completely changed.
Please comment!

Experiments with 'Remote Viewing' indicate that consciousness is more than a by-product of the physics of our nervous system. New evidence demonstrates that consciousness transcends the progression of time and the relativistic limitations of space

If that guy is holy, I am as well.
If ordinary people say things like he does, nobody cares.
There is nothing special about his sayings as far as I can see.
Some of them are true though.

That's about all one should hope for. I trust you are familiar with stories of him being controlled by the CIA.

but I know for sure that they don't let anyone who is not on their line or their marionette have public influence.
Further on he shows many free mason signs in public...

Hence the assumption that NOT everything is interconnected is false. It depends on the 'eyes' with which you look at this. I doubt that "not two persons ever had the same" ideas, feelings etc. When the French started to fly aircraft (say) 150 years ago, people in America reported to see strange aerial objects in the skies, remarkably looking like the first French experiments... Sometimes 'dreams' materialise in a real catastrophe. How come? So, it's acceptable (tmho) that people we tend to call Prophets had veridique visions (trustworthy perspectives) that found their way to mainstream belief-systems. These 'evidences' -that lived on as wise teachings- came from somewhere. And that before the time the CIA and others started manipulating minds...

a spirit with a personality, an intelligence and a character is not just quantums.
However spirit manifests itself or is describable in our dimension(s), it is spirit and is free and has got an own will,
at least, I hope so...
