God is Good


God is good.

His love is

steadfast,

constant, reliable.....

A love that

endures,

remains, renews.....

Love God.

Love your neighbors.

Open your hearts.

Weep.....

God is good.

Religions.


All religions grew out of the one ground.

Each tree is a description of an experience of God.

Each description is colored by the vessel through which it was realized.

And so we have many manifestations of religion.

But the sap which is the life-blood of each tree is Love.

The Good Within.


Jesus said, "'The Kingdom of God is within you.'"  Luke 17:12b (GNB)

Within each one of us there is a Divine Spark - a part which partakes of God's nature.

To identify with this spark we must live in the present moment - the moment of eternity.

To do this we must quieten the mind with its endless searching and distractions.

But the Divine Spark is not in the mind.
It is in the heart.

So to experience the spiritual we must enter the fifth dimension - within.


[Scriptures (marked GNB) are taken from the Good News Bible published by The Bible Societies/Collins copyright American Bible Society.]

New Growth.


Christianity is like a tree with many branches.

For new growth to begin the tree must be pruned:

Gone is the branch called Original Sin.
Gone is the branch called Virgin Birth.
Gone is the branch called Penal Substitution.
Gone is the branch called Fall/Redemption.
Gone is the branch called Trinity.
Gone is the branch called Christology.
Gone is the branch called Death.
Gone is the branch called Satan.
Gone is the branch called Hell.
Gone is the branch called Judgement.
Gone is the branch called End Times.

The tree has one trunk - Judaism.
And in Judaism God is One.

So the tree must be pared right back to the basic teachings of Jesus:
Love God, and love your neighbor, love even your enemies.

And from this will spring new growth.
