On 1999/12/13 17:16, kim fisher posted thus to the K-list:
To whom can one point a judgement toward?.
For when one judges it is twice fold in return.
Can one choose to think that one can have an ability
to judge anothers "faith" or religion?.
Does one know a spiritual hindu?, christian, shamman?,
budisim?.
Can one state that even though one chooses to worship
something that they have only been taught does that
make that one wrong?. For what they have not had the
chance to know?.
What does one worship here in this wordly level?,
cars, boats, homes, clothes, egos, money. Does that
make one wrong for not knowing?.
Before one can choose to point a finger make sure that
"all" closets are cleaned out from the one that maybe
doing the pointing. Other wise the sounds that you are
stating are just mere clanging cymbols.
Which just talk loud but donot say anything with any
value.

The awakening of the heart is the awakening of the mind, The 3rd eye.
The battle of the heart is a closed mind. Which one does one
choose to dwell?.
