You will never understand the worth of someone's soul until you have walked in their shoes.  When you can understand that, you will understand your own worth.

Good words.

People of this generation are lazy. Instant gratification appears to be the driving force behind self satisfaction. I would go on to further say that when it comes to roulette players who seek a strategy that will win without effort, are the same players who cannot remember most phone numbers on their cell phone.

You see, if anyone wants to be successful in roulette, they need to know the landscape of the wheel. Their brain needs to know some kind of reference point in order to calculate predictions. A computer can provide many options; however, have you ever tried to using your cell phone at the table, even if you are only using it to check messages. The pit boss gets right into your face, “Sir, no phones at the table.”

Why is that? The reason is because the casinos know that a computer can make instant calculations and provide optimum predictions for a favorable win. You have a computer. It’s your brain. Like I said, people of this generation are lazy and are quick criticize without having done any research.

You want to be a roulette player? Start by using your computer and memorize the numbers on the roulette wheel so that you have some sense of direction. You will be surprise what your brain can do. Keep in mind that is only the beginning. Lazy minds need not apply.

There is no religion higher than Truth

Truth still has to be believed
There lies the problem

"Do you have anything to eat?"

"Children, do you have anything to eat?"

"Children, do you have anything to eat?"

                                         John 21:1-24

That's a reference to the famine during the Jewish War following the Roman siege...

There is hardly a more important question of what our soul professes.
There is a secret in the life of Christ, on that I want yeah talk. This is the moment, when after his Resurrection he appeared to his disciples, who all night cast their nets from left to the boat and can not catch any fish. \John 21:1-24\
In Wisdom secrets there will be no, but  sacraments  will there is. Let's do it.
Sacred books have been written on three levels. The first is a literal interpretation, for the average person, which still  “eating acorns with the pigs” and will abuse with entrusted secret.
The second is parable allegorically, which must be interpreted, and for which says: “ On the people speak in parables, but of you, my  disciples, I will reveal the secret”. The third level is hieroglyphic-sacral, only for initiates.
For the first time here Christ turns to his disciples as the "children"! Until this moment He called them friends, disciples, apostles, but never „children”. It is surprising that neither theologians nor the commentators were able to capture this moment, and he is very important.
And so, can i resurrected  and to be hungry? What is water? What are the fish? What are nets? What is left? What is right? Etc. Questions…

The disciples go fishing twice - once in the Synoptic gospels written under Roman emperor Titus - and another time in the gospel of John written by Titus' brother Domitian. The 2nd encounter is a bit complicated, but I'll show you the first one:

Jesus tells his disciples to “follow him” and he will make them “fishers of men”, i.e. they will “catch men” â€" on the contrary, however, it is the Jews who are getting “caught” like “fish” as they attempt to swim to safety from the Romans led by Vespasian and his Son Titus. Titus is the genuine Lord here â€" not Jesus. And one of the slaughtered Jewish fishing villages around the lake, Chorazin, was named after a type of fish! Jesus prophesies the destruction of the Galilean towns and he prophesies men will be “fished”; this is prefiguring the Jewish War where those prophecies are being fulfilled. To confirm this is the case, all these parallels are occurring in sequence between the Gospels and Josephus, event by event, and if we look up the story about “Moses commanding a cleansing” in the context of a man covered in “leprosy” that Jesus refers to at the end of the passage, we find the following sobering verse.

[Mortagon]

Everyone is welcome, regardless of the level. Each with its contribution, small or large, contributes. Of course the idea is not what you are crammed in your mind, a whether have insight, not to mention for revelation. Speculative thinking  is the framework of the sky. And under "sky" what are we to understand? So far, this was the seventh in a  field of astral and field of abstract mind. In Wisdom will add and field of ideas. But the Way is one, and the streets are many. We continue forward.

It's weird, that at dawn He visited His disciples and friends and they do not know Him. They were on the grave of the Risen, they had a visit to in the upper room, they also had their Pentecost, but had no vision for their Master, did not recognize Him. (And in the shroud is evident!) Did you understand  how many are were awake, how many are believed in His Word! They not caught him as aura and they said: “Yes,Thou stay at His Father, because said that are at Him and He - at Thee!” And then He turns with this which is a future for them, note this now - not telling them “friends”, as called them , not telling them "disciples", for which he had said them not called Teacherst. He tells them something, which is millenniums ahead: "Children...". See the word "Children" when used - when He was resurrected when making new. He them changed  the destinies. Of course, that had to carry out the work only of Apostles and not the fullness of what should have Children, which is a new hierarchy that is now in life.

[falkor2k15]

They also mistaked their lord as a Gardener because Jesus got "pruned" at the Mount of Olives.

[Mortagon]

Children, do you have anything to eat? And they didn't have! Were listened to Him with years, but had no eating. Can it Imperishable to eat? And here is put one of big questions: Imperishable them feeds! Therefor sought food, because they had food only for corruptible body. Great forgiveness, the great parting ...

Children, do you have anything to eat? Do you think he was hungry? Or waiting repast of Doctrine, which gave them, to give to the world!

Talking about quotes, few came to my mind.

"unworthy of the attention of practical or scientific men." - British parliament on Edison's Light bulb

Now Edison on AC - "Fooling around with alternating current is just a waste of time. Nobody will use it, ever."

Ridiculous contemplations. But may be made sense at those times.

And this is my favourite quote from Peter Ustinov - "If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can’t be done."

I came to the conclusion that the roulette ball had or has no ideal that the two particular slots (the two zeros) of a 38 slot roulette wheel should be treated differently.---Rouletjack
