The best answers I can give u for ur "The 20 Questions" with my limited knowldege (for now):

1. Why is there poverty and suffering in the world?

A: Because of Karma of that ppl who are poor & suffering, why even rich ppl are suffering, so it is their karma too.

2. What is the relationship between science and religion?

A: There is no relation actually, they both are 2 seperate things, but both want to prove they are more important than the other & both want to prove they are correct. Religion says, everything is because of God or Devil. & Science tries to give u a reason as to why is something the way it is.

3. Why are so many people depressed?

A: Again Karma.

4. What are we all so afraid of?

A: Death, Rejection, Failure, & the fear of losing God's favor.

5. When is war justifiable?

A: Never. Personally I think war is never justifiable, but that is uif u mean by Violence. We can have a war without Violence also, & if that kinda war is done for the right reasons to defeat evil, then it is justifiable, but still the murder of any person, even ur enemy isn't justifiable.

6. How would God want us to respond to aggression and terrorism?

A: He would want you to make peace with them, understand what is their problem & try to solve it, if u didn't make a mistake (according to them atelast) they wouldn't attack u. So try to solve them to help them & stop the aggression & terrorism, in turn helping ur self.

7. How does one obtain true peace?

A: By getting rid of the Seven Sins & by treating everyone equally, not opressing anyone, having unconditional Love, Compassion & Universal Brotherhood/Sisterhood for everyone, irrespective of their race, religion, gender, age or their views (social, poloitcal, sexual, etc, etc.,).

8. What does it mean to live in the present moment?

A: Trying to help others in the present & not think about what happened or what they did to u in the past or what might happen in the future. Just think about now & help them.

9. What is our greatest distraction?

A: The Seven Sins.

10. Is current religion serving its purpose?

A: No, the current religion system isn't serving its purpose, so it is time to either change it or remove it.

11. What happens to you after you die?

A: It is decided where u deserve to go, by ur previous Karma & the Karma of the just concluded Life. If u have more positive Karma, u go to the higher levels (u can say Heaven), & if u have more negative Karma, u go to the lower levels (u can say Hell). But certainly sooner or later u will be coming back here to suffer or gain for ur Karma & to learn more important lessons.

12. Describe Heaven and how to get there.

A: As I said, do good things in life, get good Karma, u will go to Heaven. Now describing it is difficult for me with my limited knowledge.

13. What is the meaning of life?

A: I cannot tell u the complete meaning of life, because honestly I don't know still either. But I will tell this. 1. To learn our lessons, 2. To do what we are here to do. 3. To spread the word of God & Love.

14. Describe God.

A: Something I am too small or inexperienced to describe, but God is inside everything, even u.

15. What is the greatest quality humans possess?

A: Humanity, Compassion & the ability to Love & Forgive.

16. What is it that prevents people from living to their full potential?

A: The Fears & the Seven Sins.

17. Non-verbally, by motion or gesture only, act out what you believe to be the current condition of the world.

A: Sorry didn't understand ur question properly, but if it is what I understood it is, then the world is in very bad condition.

18. What is your one wish for the world?

A: Universal peace, Unconditional Love & Universal Brotherhood/Sisterhood for everyone.

19. What is wisdom, and how do we gain it?

A: Wisdom is defined as "Wisdom is the ability, developed through experience, insight and reflection, to discern truth and exercise good judgment." Now to get it, either u are born with it, or u learn it through some ways, experience is one of the, (don't ask me the rest, I don't know).

20. Are we all One?

A: We all are One. We all were created from the One & will end up in the One, we are just mulitple bodies or multiple perosnalities of the One.

Hello,
Here we go maybe the biggest test I will make before the test im doing tomorrow ( 150 questions/university).

ATTENTION: You are from taurus this mean you are narrow minded so please do what im asking: get a piece of paper and start drawing lines of it fastly without caring, than say its pretty, now close your eyes and close your thoughts for 2 minutes and now you are ready to read this with>>>> OPEN MIND <<<<<

1. Why is there poverty and suffering in the world? Cause people emanate such energy, people thinking that the world is terrible help someone to die by your energy someone thats not sure to kill will have your negative energy and will do it so. So its the world falt not only his one. Actually if we think, everything is ok, the problem is that WE aren't ok and we get angry with war so what happens? war.

2. What is the relationship between science and religion? science came to destroy religion or maybe to prove it, in my view science is something god created to make you lose your time and not find his path easily, easily finding god, its just stupid cause you didn't proved you liked god.

3. Why are so many people depressed? Because of the energy, because of kharma, because of theirselves, because they want to be like that unfortunately, cause they can change even if they lie for theirselves and say they are not guilty of such hear me they ARE.

4. What are we all so afraid of? Of ourselves aren't we?

5. When is war justifiable? Wen its only a smart open-minded discussion. In my home it would be because of chocolate =D

6. How would God want us to respond to aggression and terrorism? He just doesn't want, with the new brown world creation they will pay with their kharma and will have to suffer with stupid people, we will stay in earth and make the world a piece of strawberry cake. God is the one decide isn't he? But aren't we him? =) I let this one for you find out in your future.

7. How does one obtain true peace? Beliving in itself, learning for nothing, teaching for walls, borning for nothing, creating light, transforming light, discovering light, how about you discover your path? You acquire peace by making greatful things for the world, your true is not mine and not his everyone has one find yours.

8. What does it mean to live in the present moment? Past future present, present past future, aren't they the same thing? How about you just be able to notice everything you are doing even when you sleep, in other worlds, be conscious.

9. What is our greatest distraction? Chocolate, those erotic things you know (if any admin thing its inappropriate plz correct the post without it, im just playng), and seeking for knowledge thats actually nothing and actually everything, you are nothing, you are everything.

10. Is current religion serving its purpose? You mean separate the world and create one belif while everyone have a diferent true, my true in the end, will be different than yours.

11. What happens to you after you die? My answer is the same as budha when they asked him if reincarnation exist, "silence", cause if I say yes I separate the world, if I say no I separate the world again! And both of them are right actually.

12. Describe Heaven and how to get there. Buu! My heaven is when I wake up and im still dreaming, is when I sleep and im still awake, is when I see a sign and I can here it, Heaven is what you ve done to desearve it, its knowledge, its be conscious. Hell is to be inconscious. But remember, all are made by time so you can leave wherever you want. (Time was a dinasty like the new indigos that changed the world, they belived in time and now we have to pay for it tryng to get rid of it).

13. What is the meaning of life? Depends on you, you have a meaning, I have one, but if we all are god why or meaning is different? Isnt it? Because we are a hand and everyone is a different finger, understood?

14. Describe God. You me they we she he it that. Everything, nothing. What are you? everything,nothing.

15. What is the greatest quality humans possess? possibility (it open doors)! And continuating with my family point of view, chocolate.

16. What is it that prevents people from living to their full potential?  Their belifs, the things they/we created in their minds.

17. Non-verbally, by motion or gesture only, act out what you believe to be the current condition of the world. Perfect! We put so much drama that we create a bad illusion (you know the world is a illusion write, I am confusing I know we cant say everything or the world will kill us look to jesus crist if he said more...). That drama is where we are living, cause we are good and if we think the world is terrible look at happens! Bush wins elections =p  

18. What is your one wish for the world? Have fun, learn the most you can, eat cookies and chocolate(of course), and the most important is GROW UP!

19. What is wisdom, and how do we gain it? You already have it stup!d! You just need to be conscious of everything so than aha! you learn it!

20. Are we all One? Are one All? Aren't alot of h2o a big ocean, aren't a big ocean alot of H2O, arent the world made of powder, arent powder made of the world?

The answers are you, you are the answers, he is the answer, she is the answer, so we are the answer, aren't we?

While I don't think there are any simple answers to complicated issues, we can try to spiritualize it for ourselves:
1.  God created the earth. He put human beings as stewards of all that it contains.  Then, in His infinite wisdom, He gave man free will choice.  With this free will man has to steward the earth's many needs.  Has he succeeded?  Has he made the world a better place for others?  

2.  Einstein is quoted as saying: Science without religion is blind.  And religion without science is lame.  All things in life are bolstered up and enhanced by other things.

3.  Depression results when we have discontent of mind and do nothing to change it.  (Discontent to the mind is like pain to the body, it is telling us to do something about it).

4.  Our deepest fears are not our failures, but our successes.  (Paraphrased from Maryann Williamson).

5.  War is never justifiable.  There is always another way.

6.  God would appreciate us all to wake up to spirituality and there would be no response on a national or cultural basis.

7.  True peace is found within our own being by our own efforts.  Make and retain your own centre of peace in all circumstances that fly around your environment.

8.  There is actually no time in spirit and we are spirit now.  So deep within our recessesses there is no time.  Past, present, future is in the moment.  And yet, we do plan and arrange our future design.  We also have a bad habit of retaining all past events of our lives...these actions causing us much pain and discomfort.

9.  Our greatest distraction (from spirituality which is our ultimate purpose) is materialism.  We get caught up in the competitiveness of materialism (bettering the Jones's).

10.  All religions serve a purpose and a congregation.  To be effective it is important to be progressive...in life and all things.

11.  I just got back from a funeral and outlined the proof of continuous life.  Spirit is eternal..it is only the physical/material that is temporary.

12.  Heaven and Hell are states of mind that have been entrenched in a particular religious following.  There is a spirit afterlife in which all spirit is welcomed.  It is generally thought to contain 7 spheres of growth and progress to the light of spirit.

13.  The meaning of life is continuous growth.  Change means that something was not complete and we are striving to complete it (ourselves?)

14.  The description of God is as individual as each of us.  As he lives in all our hearts in our own way, He is that diverse and at the same time, that complete.  God is spirit!

15.  Humans best traits are their ability to love.  Love comes on body, mind, spirit.  As human beings we have the potential, possibiity and capability of love.  In that love all will prosper and grow.

16.  Our personal expectations create a block to living to our fullest potential.

17.  

18.  To live in Love.

19.  Learning from all experiences takes our knowledge to wisdom.

20.  God is spirit.  We are in God's image...spirit.  All is one.
