The human body is capable to measure the relation between particles that are linked. whenever this happens you feel love. it's a kind of measuring the quality. we can only feel and love because the particles can do it too. what we call intuition and deja vu or synchronicity is in fact the relation between particles. > you identify "the world" >with materialism, the capitalistic world. you can of cource guess a few other concepts of societies. what jesus had in mind e.g. was not especially a capitalistic world. as you can imagine jesus would have had his problems if he would have met bill gates or other capitalists. i am sure if jesus would have seen our todays society, no matter if he would have lived in the USA or GERMANY or Netherlands or whereever, even in israel, he would have had major problems, and they would have put him into prison. > greed and self-centeredness, and "the spirit" with love, >unity, and quality.... but in those explanations you did not mention the >foundation to it all...
