Ernie Fitzpatrick asked:


Have you ever seriously asked yourself what Jesus meant in John 14 wherein He is quoted to have said something like (depending upon your translation of course), “In my Father’s HOUSE there are many MANSIONS…..and I go to prepare a PLACE for you.” I used to translate that literally because that’s what I was taught. No mas!  

The denomination of my childhood and early adult life taught me about streets of gold and mansions so beautiful that there’s nothing here in earth to compare.

What I was not taught is that almost all of the Bible was written and comes from an Eastern paradigm and not the Western one that we operate from and understand. Oriental and Occidental thinking and writing is day and night. The Bible is full of parables, metaphors, allegories, and images that convey a meaning that’s bigger than literal could ever be.

Think about it. Seriously!

God is Spirit and omnipresent (everywhere). So where would this HOUSE that God lives in be? And what need of a HOUSE would the Creator have? We all know that Jesus was a carpenter, but these MANSIONS that Jesus is going to prepare (build) for us, are they literal houses (with streets of gold)?

We’re going to need a lot more than MANY MANSIONS unless of course 90% of the world is going to hell.  

But, that’s still a lot of MANSIONS!

Here’s where I’ve landed on this issue. Houses and mansions are symbols of “habittions”. While e here on earth live in a physical body and a literal house or apartment, we live OUT OF our consciousness and our life spring FROM our consciousness, thinking, beliefs, and assumptions. We each LIVE where we ARE because of the consciousness that we’ve built and are still building. And yes, there are many “states of consciousness” from which the “Christ consciousness” (mind of Christ) springs.

So, question number one is WHERE do you want to live – here on earth? Where we will live when we shed these physical frames we currently inhabit really isn’t our choice. Think about it. 

Robert Meyer asked:


Many of us dream of being able to some day purchase a luxury car. There is no man on this earth who has not wished for such a car at some time or another during his lifetime. Men (and nowadays even women) have always been fascinated by cars and they have always been out to have the best available.

What to Do When You Really Want to Own a Luxury Car

When you want a luxury car but don’t have the means to buy one, remember the saying ‘When there is a will, there is a way.’ And while we are at sayings, there is still another one which says, ‘Find a way or make a way.’ Both imply that nothing is impossible. If you want it bad enough you will definitely find a way to fulfill any wish that you might have. Applying this concept to the present topic, you will find that indeed you can find many ways to own a luxury car, even if you do not exactly make tons of money.

Luxury Car Auctions

You know what an auction is. But have you heard of a luxury car auction? You might have because there are a lot advertisements found on the Internet. This type of auction is held when a number of luxury cars are re-possessed. This can happen when financial institutions/banks/government use a legal recourse to make good the loans which have been defaulted.

These are real auctions and you will find many a luxury car auction which sells wonderful dream vehicles at a fraction of their cost. These auctions are not only real but also very legal and may make your dream come true.

There is no better tool for searching information than the Internet. If you want to find a doctor or a job, or a luxury car auction all you need to key in the words in the search bar of any search engine, and BINGO – you will get an answer in a matter of seconds. Once you find a location close to your city or residence, all you need is to go and participate. These auctions are always open to everyone who wishes to participate. You only need to be familiar with the rules and formalities involved in an auction, but this you can find out and master only a few minutes.

An economical alternative to the live auction is to use the internet to find online luxury car auctions. Increasingly popular are internet auctions. Run a google search and you will find dozens of internet auctions. My favorite luxury car auction is http://www.bestluxuryautoauctions.com. You can find nearly every make and model of luxury car at a very good price.

Oftentimes you can find a better deal online without traveling to live auction site. As with the live auction, the buyer should invest in a CARFAX report to be certain the purchase is a wise. And, as with all purchases, a deal that seems to good to be true, probably is.
