The I AM is a importantly part of some rituals and visualizations.

It is rumored to be used by Moses and others.

Talking about the spiritual aura , some persons would have a aura more balanced to Love or more balanced to Grace. Now, I think that I am using the right therms over here.

Also it is very important to buy (or at least play on-line) the ticket with the correct number set

The article on Wikipedia is very nice. Indeed it could be considered a heavy reading for persons without practice. I wonder if everyone could understand all the words. In reality, I understood some parts , there was others that even resemble a IQ or general knowledge (culture fair) test

When something happens by "dumb luck", it is considered to have happened unintentionally and without planning, and has nothing to do with the intelligence of the person receiving the "dumb luck".

Manzplan you are truly brilliant thanks for straightening everything out.

Where did you read that I was Christian? Where did you learn to read minds across nations?

folks like you are insulted when people don't agree with your belief system and don't want your belief system shoved onto every website in the world. It's a lottery website. *rolls eyes* but you folks keep bringing up your christianity here. You don't want that belief slammed or questioned then stop bringing it up in inappropriate places.

When Humans take responsibility for their own actions and stop blaming God or The Devil then we might actually get somewhere as a species.

I have sympathy for Paris Hilton simply because she is being made an example of. She is not getting special treatment. In fact if you are I had the same charge against us our lisence would just be suspended for a longer time. We would not go to jail for 45 days.

I lawyer on CNN explained all of these. However they are playing into the public wanting her to suffer for whatever reason. It's total BS.

Pathetic reaction from someone without good arguments.

Got no arguments, so he resorts to attacking me for being Norwegian and using capitalized conscience and scruples . Capitalizing was used instead of bolding/italized text.

Humans learned what was right and what was wrong long before they was brainwashed to worship fantasy gods.

jarasan — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 18:01:19 GMT

Yes. I am very stupid and ignorant. Maybe I should have written in Norwegian.

Since when does conscience and scruples get capitalized? Are those your gods? Where do you think you learn the difference between right and wrong?

All beliefs must start somewhere, and they end somewhere for EVERYBODY. So get over your own self rightous pagan belief system and go conscienciously scruple yourself. jarasan

It could be a common belief that some New Age groups don't believe into a Christian concept of God . Thinking that their are the gods themselves , without limits and if there is no limit there is 'no definitive concequenses' (ie: thinking that there would be other lives) . Others would use the cause and effect rule or a Rule of Three.

Now, Psychopaths and Sociopaths could be linked to falsehood spirit. Even if Pseudolalia could be a disease or evil spirit.

Now, that's a stupid assertion to make. So you believe non religious people don't believe there's any consequences for their action because they don't believe in a god? That's very typical ignorant assumption from self righteous christians.

It doesn't have anything with beliefs to do, but peoples Conscience, Scruples and if they're potential psychopaths or sociopaths.

I'm another who doesn't necessarily like to see rich and powerful people fall. I have sympathy for both Martha and Paris, too. The ones I LOVE to watch fall are the rich and powerful ones who do stuff like strip retirement funds so they could throw a 3 million dollar birthday party. I feel SO bad for those victims who had their retirement pulled right out from under their feet.

The facts are lower-income people are less educated than upper-income people, and upper-income people are in a different financial position, ie they can dump a lot more into a 401K, IRA, Savings Account or the Stock Market, in multiples of hundreds or even thousands, whereas lower-income people are not in a position to do that.

Often times you hear that saying that money can't buy you happiness , and the media just loves to focus on these idiots who win the lottery and then screw up their lives by gross mismanagement. And the people who win who know how to manage money, you never hear about them.

I'm reminded of a quote by Groucho Marx, Money can't buy you happiness, but I sure could afford the misery that it brings.

The prudent people who spend their money wisely are the ones you never hear about. It's the idiots who spend their money foolishly that make the news.

Funny, but it seems that the harder I try to win the lottery, the less money I do win from the lottery, and if I buy a lottery ticket on impulse, that's when I win the most money.

Lotteries are random and can't discriminate, anyone who buys a ticket can win. Lottery winners represent the kinds of people playing lotteries, if most of the winners are dumb then there's no reason to think the losers are any smarter.

It doesn't take much effort to dumb down or buy quick picks and I think buying QPs is the better option. Being smart might not help you win a lottery but you're probably going to do more in life than just play the lotteries.
