..yes, sounds fantastic indeed...!
...Wow !,
..and humanity goes on butchering eachother and keeps it
on 'expanding infinitely' as they have done from the begining of the
kundalini/truth of ancient times.
After millenia
of thousands of mahatmas, swamis, rishis, tantricas, cosmic avatars,
and mini-yogis, Ascended and descended Masters, lamas, gurus, tulkus,
bodhisatvas, psychotherapists, healers and channeling
mediums, "positive"-thinkers with their 'Affirmations', mini and
SatGurus and other expert-preachers of 'truth and divine energy peace
and love', after millenia of these 'spiritual blessings' and
..humanity suffers more than ever, and is crazier than ever.
(..good now that there is the Net, so we can let out
the "positive/spiritual"/hopeful Screams about the situation, in
a "civilized" way..and battle heads with words, or become stimulated
with sentimental/romantic hopes for "spiritual development"..'One
day, I will...not be a savage any longer, I will be 'enlightened' and
High for ever !' and in the meantime, we can design prety little mind-
blowingly divine web-pages to satify the dreams of heaven.
As for many og the 'expert-Guides', I wonder how 'sane'/loving they
are,.. considering the cases of sexual abuse of disciples and
children and other despotic cruelties and manipulations, practiced by
these representatives/messengers of the 'how-to' of 'divine truth'
and 'spiritual development'.)
Amazing indeed !
Do I sound fed up with the whole circus ?
Yes Sir !
Indeed !
