Sunday Silliness

For those of you who were offended by John Lennon's comment about Jesus, took it completely out of context and then burned all your Beatles albums, you might want to close your eyes and scroll down for a few seconds to get to the nice stuff. For the rest of you with a sense of humor, I couldn't resist posting this picture (I didn't make it):







I also thought it would be fun to have Jesus play a starring role in Sunday Silliness, as it is also the first Sunday of Lent. So in the spirit for which Lent is intended, I wanted to post "Rising Sun" which is a song that is so close to my heart. I usually listen to it on my birthday, but it seems to fit with Lent as well, perhaps even more so. There is such a feeling in it about new beginnings, spring and "turning around".

The video that beatleandy1 made for this song is absolutely gorgeous and I want to thank him for posting it. (Thank you, beatleandy1! I love the picture of him playing his organ at 1:40!)

"oh, the rising sun
and the place that it's coming from
is inside of me,
and now I feel it constantly.."

Thought for Thursday

George, on what he thinks happens when you die:

"Well, what do you think happens to people when they go home and they take their suit off? That’s what I think— your body falls off, but you’ve still got two other bodies, fortunately. This is how I see it; this thing they call the soul. In the Bible, I think Jesus said there are three cages for the Bird of Paradise. And the Bird of Paradise is this soul, this perfect thing that has its own identity, and then the three cages are these three bodies. One body is called the causal body, the next body is called the astral body and the third is called the gross physical body.

So death is only relative to birth— if you don’t wanna die, you don’t get born. But as long as you’re born, you’ve got to die, because just as sure as nighttime is gonna follow daytime, death is gonna follow birth. Like Bob Dylan said, "Look out kid, it’s something you did. God knows when, but you’re doing it again." So what happens is your body falls off. Gets tired or for whatever reason, and you’re now in your astral body, which is much more subtle and is made of light. Then, just like on your radio, where you can change the frequency without turning the dial, there’s a whole ’nother thing happening there. And that’s what it’s like: all these different levels are all right here, but they’re all vibrating on different frequencies. So death is just where your suit falls off and now you’re in your other suit. But you can’t see it on this level, so it’s all right. Don’t worry."
