Hiya all :)
No, I didn't die, I just never have the time to read the list. The digests
just pile up and I never read them. :)
I was writing, publishing my book, writing the next one etc... if you don't
mind reading from the screen, it's http://www.danijel.org/misc/Book.pdf ,
the others can find the printed thing on Amazon. Pleasant reading. :)
Now, what do we have here... :))

:) But, the free will, also, _is_. :) Without free will, you couldn't
choose to surrender. You couldn't even choose to chop wood and carry water.
I guess I still agree with you, tho, since you seem to be saying that God's
a bit smarter than us and if we just stop making his life difficuld by
meddling, he'd take care of us the best way possible. I'm saying the same
thing and I wrote a book about it so that I could whack people on the head
with it, so that they don't forget.
However, it's a game of choice. Mostly, people wouldn't agree with God's
estimate on what's right, and they'd offer to improve. So now we have an
improved world. The atmosphere is improved with more CO2 and pollutants,
the ground is improved with pesticides and the seas are improved with
nuclear waste. We're also improving life on Earth, introducing improved
mice with cancer genes. Soon, we'll start improving ourselves and wow, what
an improved future it will be. :)

Well, true, but don't forget that he wasn't born knowing it all, he had to
work on it a bit, and the process seems to be useful if you need to be
reminded of the goal. The qualities of the goal have to manifest gradually
in order for us to get used to it. I'm a moron and I'd probably incinerate
students by shaktipat, because I tend to make available everything that I
am. However, someone with a brain seems to be in charge, and so people get
exactly what they're ready for, nothing more. This somethimes means that
they get nothing, however, and then, being a moron, I get depressed coz I
didn't get the chance to burn them to ashes with the juice and thus
strengthen my ego. :)

I guess that Domchi would get a great piece of satisfaction from this post
of yours, since he got flamed the last time, when he said that Reiki is a
pathetic piece of meddling with lower prana. :)

Of course. However, although it doesn't need improving, it also doesn't
need to be fucked up with all the stuff that we do in order to reduce our
concept of ourselves to mere pieces of meat surrounded by a carnivore
universe. :)

:) Yes, mother Nature can be a B*tch sometimes. If you can't find her
clitoris. Then she seems to become very friendly. :))

Hmm, so that's how they work. Yuck. To me, reiki feels like a combination
of astral masturbation and pathetically executed energy work. But, it sure
beats joining the Hare Krishnas. :)

:) So, you picked another torn in order to pull out the first one, eh? ;)

It's only fair of her to return you to your original state. :)))
How the hell does she manage to have influence on your system, when you
gave her the ability to use the bloody energy for it in the first place??
Oh well, if you did clear it yourself she wouldn't have learned the "new
and improved reiki", so I guess it's just a strange way to initiate a
"reiki master". :)

Serves him well. :)

I guess so. :) Don't let this guy wash your dishes, tho. ;)

Witch my ass. Show me a witch that teaches surrender to God, and not some
sort of free will meddling trying to improve the world. You just needed a
label for yourself in order to have a sense of belonging. You also liked
the energy work and this stuff gave you the aliby. You, yourself told me
that other witches that you know are a bunch of limited folks with strange
explanations for what you manage to do. C'mon.

I just show it to them, and if they recognize it as their own, they get to
keep it.

> Like the Chinese curse, "May you clear all your karma by next week and

There's much more to karma than this. Every situation that makes you
understand and learn is the result of karma unfolding. The word originally
means "action, activity". By activities we learn, and activities and
experiences are a result of karma, at one hand, and leed to further karma,
as a result of either learning or not. This is a bullshit explanation but
I'm not in a mood for writing a book about it. :)

>channeling the words and charging the page. There is no non consensual

These bonus points _are_ the karmic feedback. :)

Yes, well, the end result is supposed to be that, we should, in our
actions, thoughts, entire being etc. embody the Divine, by constantly
choosing the Divine over the illusion. Always the choice. I actually saw
the guys who repeatedly choose the illusion, claiming that they choose God.
Good religious folks they are. Brr, vade retro satanas. :)

>I was

:PPPP :)))

> Some would say it is meddling,

I meddle when I choose to eat instead of dying. So what. We're supposed to
do it. I just hope we won't fuck up too hard. :)

> Well, what an essay.. hope someone finds something useful in it.

Gee, I mean wow, you still can write loooooooong posts, I remember the
those 45k mails, brr, shivers, I'll have a cup of coffee thank you please.
:))

ps. :** :)
