An Inquiry about the Ministry

Reverend Jack,

I highly appreciate the excellentness of your intention, and the ministry it affords. That kind of high intent is so VERY useful to establish progressive community and create a better world.

You said,

"Worship is the listening,, seeing,, but most of all the feeling! of the acceptance of the Truth, Beauty and Goodness of the Divine Will with an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE. In knowing the love our creator has for us (The best high I ever have is when I snuggle with God) we begin to realize the best desire to have is the desire to serve our brothers and sisters that they might know what it is to be part of the One. (Richi feels this. but the desire can be so strong and fruition seem so far away, it hurts) "

Yes, speaking of feeling, especially deep spiritual feeling, this definitely gives great potency to any spiritual works. On those occasions where I've experienced great spiritual depth during a smoke, I found that it really super-boosted the high as well.

And then you said,

"Which brings us back to INTENT. The key to powerful intent is Sincerity, Sincerity, and more Sincerity. The Urantia says there are two ways we poor mortals fully capable of being Absolutly Perfect. The first being perfectly sincere in our desire to be like God (True, Beautiful and Good and most of all Loving) And second perfect in our love for every person in this world. "

Well said, good brother. In both of these statements, I interpret your meaning to be boiled down to, "purity of intention". Sincerity, truth, love, beauty and goodness are all aspects of that purity. All of these can be increased within through intention! Interestingly, it is possible to "intend your intent" higher. An example of this is to intend a more purified intent, in alignment with all these spiritual qualities you just mentioned. The four steps of intent apply even to the raising of intent!

I'm quite glad to hear that you've been using these steps. If ever you'd like to share detailed experiences with Smoke, gaining a greater high and/or alignment with God as boosted by Herb, I'm sure that these would benefit the discussion greatly....

I agree everyone here could be doing a lot more.

To be fair, the newsletter idea I had enjoyed a bit of support, but I could never get anyone to do the template. Not only that, but my style of writing really doesn't have a place here.

I write to challenge ideas. I'm outspoken against all religions. I am simply not the right guy to do the newsletter.

I am still trying to figgure out what that is and means, don't really know if i have those abilities though.

What do you think the template should be anyways? The sooner we get this figgured out the better so we can get that newsletter finally up and going better than before.

Rev. Jack,

Let's hear much more about the technique you mentioned, which involves acceptance and focused intent.

Please tell us about your experiences with this, the high you mentioned and as a remedy for pain, and how exactly you accomplish these effects.
