> Frankenstein never became a scientist.
Uh...actually...Frankenstein WAS the scientist. "Frankenstein's monster"
didn't have a name. *shrug*
Athiest: one who believes that there is no deity (via www.m-w.com).
I believe we all are the "deity" - all of us ourselves and collectively
"divine". I totally respect people who believe in Christianity, people who
are athiests, people who are whatever, and people who are none of the above.
I do believe strongly that all paths lead to the same place. It all depends
on what you find "digestable". I have formed my beliefs from a wide variety
of them, some accepted widely and some NOT accepted by anyone else I know.
I think the most important thing for any of us to learn, accept or take in
of a religious nature, is that there are SO many different belief systems
(do any two people REALLY ever believe exactly the same??)...and we should
have the wisdom and compassion to RESPECT everyone's beliefs and refrain
from trying to steamroll them or guilt them into believing our way. That
includes publicly insulting other people for not believing as you do (a sign
of immaturity as a PERSON, not just immaturity as a function of one's
K-awake growth).
One Man - I am seriously curious - what is your experience with Kundalini?
What are you hoping to get out of interfacing with this group? You are
totally welcome as any of us are, but I am having trouble figuring these
things out. I hope you did not come here just to proselytize, but maybe to
learn and grow with all of us as well.
When I was in my preteens, I figured out that if "God" really was so awesome
that "He" is above all and we can never be that good...who the HELL are we
to think we have "Him" all figured out? I have never understood that thought
process at all - the Christian idea that "God" is so above us, but some men
somehow figured out everything there was to know about "Him" from hearing
things and seeing things (don't we call these "mental disorders" or
"hallucinations" these days??) and wrote a book. *I could go on for days
about that...maybe in another email...* Now I have been awakened for a
while, and have had many experiences where I DO understand divinity and its
relationship to me. To ME. Not to you, or anyone else. But I totally respect
that everyone's path to there is different, but that we are all still one.
We are everything and nothing. :)
