Anything But The Truth

Each day you can notice the works of Mother Nature gradually putting on her new dress of bright green, with a few early flowers poking their heads up here and there. The old timers always say that when Easter is over you can look for pretty weather from there on. I hardly agree with them this time as it has gotten pretty snappy in the few days since Easter ... never the less, it won’t be long.

There’s an old saying - you can always hear anything but the truth and meat a frying around a barber shop; I'm beginning to think that’s so. The other morning I heard some talk that went like this: Johnny Melton said he noticed tomatoes blooming, Dewey Daniel remarked he had seen a snake crawl across the road, and Ed Combs said he saw cherries and apples turning. Everybody in the shop had their eyes focused on their conversation. Knowing these fellows like I do I can understand them because they are lovers of the outdoors. They are just rushing the season along a little. No harm done in that. Many of us get “teched” in the head at this time of year.

These boys with the cedar sticks you notice sitting around the court house square, bickering for a shady spot to discuss the laws of our land, the happenings of years ago, forcasting the elections, giving Russia pure hell and damnation, and yes, also discussing the Bible. Don't be misled about what these old timers know about the Bible. You can quick get an argument started on this lately. I always walk by this crowd on my way to the Post Office. Have noticed one of them comes by and sharpens his knife about every morning except Wednesdays. I asked him about missing this one day. Have learned that this is wash day. It seems that even at his age he is still under petticoat government, no names mentioned.

  1. Great picture. I see Bill and Carson in their natural habitat. Two fine men long gone. Yep, the barber shop is much like the beauty shop, you can hear anything and everything if you keep your eyes and ears peeled. The things you learn while under the hair dryer could fill a book. Hee Hee. I loved the use of the word "tetched". Oh, I grew up on that one.

    About the whittling at the Courthouse Square. Mercy, it was almost impossible to mull through the whittlers without getting "ambeer" spit at you or around you. They never took their eyes off of the piece of wood, so they couldn't keep focused on what was coming out of their mouth, spit wise. I learned the hard way after I came back from lunch one day and had to take my sandals off to wash between my toes. Oh, for the good ole days, ambeer and all.

    「大師們。」她輕聲說:「他們告訴我的。他們說我活過86次。」

    「帶著對任何有關輪迴轉世的科學論文的強烈渴望,我翻遍了醫學圖書
    館。讀得越多,就越意識到,儘管曾認為自己頭腦的每方面都受過良好的
    教育,但我的知識還是很有限的。有許多這方面的研究和出版物,都是由
    知名的臨床醫生和科學家們實施、驗證並重複的,但是很少人知道。他們
    有可能都錯了或者都被欺騙了嗎?證據是如此的確鑿,而我還是懷疑。不
    管確鑿與否,我覺得難以相信。」

    「這經驗再加上隨後其他病人的經驗,我的價值觀開始轉變,從物質轉入
    精神,而且更關心人我關係,不再汲汲於名利,我也開始理解甚麼是可以
    帶走而甚麼帶不走。確實,在這之前我一定也不相信肉體死亡後我們的某
    一部份還有生命。」

    「那幾週,我重溫了在哥倫比亞大學念一年級時所學的比較宗教課的課
    本。在《聖經》舊約和新約全書中確實提到輪迴轉世。公元325年,羅馬康
    斯坦丁大帝和他的母親海倫娜,將新約中關於輪迴轉世的內容刪去了。」

    在《前世今生》一書中也提到,大師們通過凱瑟琳共示現了10餘次,談話涉
    及到人類的不朽及生命的真正意義:「我們的任務是學習,豐富知識成為
    神那樣的生命。直到我們可以解脫了,然後我們會回來教誨和幫助其他
    人。」
