This statement goes along with the oft repeated statement that we are co-creators with Source...A statement which I believe. It is not a stretch to get the statement you quoted:<br /><br /><i>"All get what they want; they do not always like it."</i>Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148676728860411325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-25926782103659838182010-06-07T20:14:16.370-06:002010-06-07T20:14:16.370-06:00Great article Andy!

I love the use of the two images at top...90 minutes in Heaven vs. 10 in Hell...interesting time discrepancy!<br /><br />The Mormon connection is interesting-both Betty Eadie (of <i>Embraced By the Light</i> fame) and Angie Fenimore (author of <i>Beyond the Darkness</i>) were/are Mormons.<br /><br />There has been some interesting documentation about Near Death Experiences (NDEs) that suggests people tend to see what they expect to see in the afterlife...or, at least, what they are <i>initially</i> shown reflects what they believed.<br /><br />The idea that this life/the afterlife is shaped on our own character and actions has always resonated with me. Whether it was the Buddha talking about karma or <i>What Dreams May Come</i> (book and film) I think the idea that we get what we want/have created/earned for ourselves to be spot on. Every man shall go to their place...<br /><br />(Oh yeah, and <i>Dogma</i> rocks!!!)Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240062898789541472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-91693788514008533772010-06-07T16:56:40.056-06:002010-06-07T16:56:40.056-06:00Don,

Very haunting.<br /><br />It reminds me of the Gene Wilder version of Willy Wonka. The way he portrayed the character was that Wonka left the children to be corrected by their own desires. He did not stop them from having what they wanted.<br /><br />A reminder to be careful what one wishes for.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494823779999456396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-49847730535607866222010-06-07T08:33:44.748-06:002010-06-07T08:33:44.748-06:00"All get what they want; they do not always l...<i>"All get what they want; they do not always like it."</i><br /><br />What a seriously thought-provoking statement!!
