Quote: Hey Kyo....As much as we all love you...
Ah, this is of course irrelevant (to the topic at hand). You'd know by now, that when you extend love to another being, it is really for the God within yourself. All relationships are really (reflections of the) relationship with the God within.
Furthermore, how one treats others, is really only telling of one's own nature, and not of the other person. Remember,
When someone says something nasty about you, it doesn't mean you're nasty, it means he's nasty.
When someone says something nice about you, it doesn't mean you're nice, it means he's nice. Quote: this idea that you have regarding the origins and so called fall of 'mankind'...Is based on stuff you have read, believed, and assume to be the 'truth'....It may not be mine or ours!?
You see, nobody can tell you what is True or what is not. Each person must take the self-responsibility to decide this for him/herself. Others can only share with you their perspective, their interpretation, or their understanding of matters. It is *always* up to you to exercise your own discernment, to see how much of it (ie. that which you have interpreted from that which was communicated to you) you resonate with, you can meaningfully relate to, and you decide is in agreement with your own (perception) of reality or Truth.
The passage quoted and mentioned in my preceeding post, "The Real Creation Story", is precisely one such interpretation, as understood by the beings Ava and Ari giving the interview. You are of course under no obligation to accept or agree with their perspective.
However, I made reference to it for specific purpose. You will note, the usefulness of the passage when it comes to breaking through previous dogmatic beliefs, for instance, with regards to a particular name. The "Real Creation Story" also includes many other elements of a religious or esoteric significance, that will be of interest to many. Thus it can be a useful passage, but you must first of course adopt a helpful attitude when viewing these or (in point of fact) all materials.
Quote: In fact, it stinks of the 'new ager' syndrome...Same as fundy Christian and fanatic Muslim information that seem to plague these spiritual forums at the present time..Ed.
You also realize, of course, that any emotional reaction or judgement (eg. disgust, disapproval, 'stinks','plague', etc) only teaches you something about yourself. This is the whole point of physical incarnation, to teach the individual about what is within himself, by the Law of Reflection. "Man, Know ThySelf."
As Byron Katie teaches, always Turn-It-Around. Your impatience with any 'new ager syndrome', 'fundy Christian and Muslim' behaviour that you *perceive in others*, only has one purpose, to show you that such (behaviour, beliefs, etc) is not what you choose for yourself.
You of course, cannot control others (eg. the new ager, the fundamentalist Christian or Muslim, etc). Your free will is only for yourself. Self-responsibility.
Understanding this, you'd love that the new agers feel this way, that the fundamental Christian and Muslim feel that way, because that is their choice and because you are willing to love.
Of course, self-responsibility will next tell you, that you have to decide for yourself, what *you* (not the new ager, not the fundamentalist Christian or Muslim) can do, towards service of the greatest CosmoEthic. That is to say, what you can do to help the situation, to make the world a better place for everyone, etc.
The same with the so-called terrorists, who are themselves sufferring and in need of help. You would accept (the reality of; distinct from 'condone') and understand their ways, but all the more, you would take the self-responsibility to see what *you* can do, to contribute towards solving the difficulties that breed terrorism in the first place.
It is useful to ask oneself when encountering any situation, "
What Would Jesus Do?", "
What Would Hilarion Do?", "
What Would a Serenissimus Do?".
With clarity, there is no anger, no hatred, no suffering, no outrage, no guilt (no matter how seemingly 'injust' or 'terrible' the situation may seem; terrorism, starvation, genocide, torture, abuse, etc); only pure unconditional love, compassion and assistantiality (ie. help), for those who would benefit from it.
Take care,
Kyo
