It doesn't matter.

One yogi used to say - don't believe a word of a Buddhist monk who is ill and cannot cure himself!
So - true or false?

I have always seen this as a parable, and so yes, it's true! :)
Is there another way to see it?

I thought for a long time that Christianity was total rubbish and fairytale.
However, I've read an interpretation of what Christ did showing it as a path of three-pronged nagual. His task was to physically manifest every step of his path - from becoming to teaching to breaking free from form on the cross and re-joining the formless realm. His every minute with human beings was a lesson, a manifestation.
Can one fish be used to feed thousands?
Could DJ just catapult into other realms?
Where's the limit of possible?
Where are the limits of our beliefs?

Many years ago read a scientific explanation how manna could rain from the heaven. The manna that helped Moses and his pupils on the way from Egypt. I can't explain but according to what I read it was completely possible that manna could come from heaven though several parameters had to be in harmony.

False. It was two fish and five loaves of bread.

Desire is the creator so I have to assume it is also the limit.

;D I like the way you put it, Ganster - thanks
To believe that the statement is false would, to me be limiting the possiblities. Just because I cant figure out how it is done, doesn't mean it can't

What personal presence, or lack of the same, would it take for a human being to able to control the weather if even on a small scale? Would part of this person have to temporarily become an aspect of the weather, like maybe be able to affect barometric pressure in a certain locale? Is this shape-shifting in the inner degree of Intent?

When we sold our house and moved to town Spirit provided me of one of the coolest places in this entire area. We got shade from many trees, and have cold water streams beneath that gives some degrees lower than even the closest surrounding. So for instance we have snow in our garden one more week than the neighbors. And this dry and warm summer we have had it cooler than elsewhere, it is about 5 degrees Celsius warmer in the city than here on sunnys days and we have had 101 sunny days the last 4 months.
A high position at the edge of town also means no dirty windows, fresh west winds with no notable pollution from highways. The gasoline smell from the close military aerodrome that may appear randomly is not felt here but some miles away due to some "rules" of gas and air transportation. I can only be happy about it.

that is what I am wanting to say tom - it is in becoming the other. this is also dangerous, as you have to then find your own way out. with weather, it is easier.
but after long years, i have to say it is also dependant on your puissance .. and you are gaining that quality. can you now become the other, and find your way back?

I honestly sense, M, that us humans have all we need but desire "things" because we don't yet realize we have it all, a total completeness. And this appears very paradoxal to me, indeed. We go round and round within our inquiry and seeking, trying to find more what we already have plenty of. Isn't this what is labeled as "suffering", like we sense we are lacking something? I guess our perception will always be, to one degree or another, incomplete. I mean everyone, even "the enlightened ones" of all time. They aren't gods, just those folk who are sharper than we are in facing our dillusions. We create our idealogies just to label, like highway markers saying shit like "15 miles to the next rest stop" or something. They give us some semblance of solidity or something, I am sure.
All I know, Sir, is that we will all keep our "faith", either rationally or otherwise. We'll just, through the generations, identify and re-identify, classify and reclassify in our heads what our hearts are so busy showing us each moment, anyway.
So, by stating that our mentalities will always do this, am I saying "don't investigate because it's all relative, anyway"? Ha, I'm getting too much pleasure out of chasing my concept/inventory-laden tail! I'll also opt to be content with what enfolds before me when I'm not looking for it. That's my own pardox, keeping the very obvious uncomplicated yet still very mysterious, and always with the utmost of excitement. It's like coming back from somewhere I never left for.

Well, when I was a kid, I thought he fed the multitudes by multiplying the fish. I just saw it as a miracle of the manifestation of God and God providing. Like for the multitudes, the fish just kept coming.
I always liked the teach a child to fish story thought, cause its true. Look at how many folks are living with parents well beyond their years, and dont have jobs, lol. They need to be thrown in the wild, and taught how to survive, or they get lazy.
