[QUOTE="Satyaban, post: 109524, member: 1692"] Namaste I don't know a Punjabi greeting for a group so I went the way I did be cause I it is safe and not offensive to say "I recognize God in all of you." Although it is used as a catchall greeting today. I was attracted to this site while knowing very little about Sikhi I thought we had much in common and still believe so. I was raised in a Christian family my paternal grandparents were Catholics from Germany and my maternal grandmother was a Methodist but my mother is a Southern Baptist but Christians all. I started having problems with all of that after I started school and learned some science. I became perplexed by the events claimed that flew in the face of natural law like the "great flood and the Ark", "Adam and Eve" and so on. I had no belief in a devil but I had a firm belief in a creator and wanted wanted contact. Like some others LSD opened up the possibilities of altered states of consciousness and my world changed. I attended a lecture by Baba Ram Dass, read Autobiography of A Yogi and later joined The Self Realization Fellowship and I was on my way. I have in the past learned much more and had great experiences. All I have learned I already knew but I had lost contact with it like having a ream of paper between a light bulb and my eyes. As I removed obstacles like sheets of paper I could see the light better. I had to dump anger, selfishness, put ego in its place along with lust, greed and attachment all of which I am still working on but I rarely get angry and it is gone in seconds. I have no problem at all with the potter also being the clay. I have had conversation with some Muslims who have a problem with it. They looked upon God as separate from his creation and could not see the divinity in creation as I do. It is also well known many of them see things in polar opposites that is either good or hateful without much inbetween. I believe that seen, unseen, and the spaces inbetween, from the infinitesimally small to the infinitely big is a constant manifestation of Lord Shiva, my name for the Absolute use your own, and the essence of Lord Shiva. This comes natural to me I did not need to learn this from anyone but I have to say that confirmation was reassuring. Bhagat ji asked of Susan ji "[COLOR=blue]and how does the author reach this conclusion?[/COLOR][COLOR=black]" which I will apply to myself although he was referring to a shabad which is light years beyond my humble offering.[/COLOR] As I have mentioned before perhaps elsewhere we are born with a priori knowledge which I believe is "God consciousness". It is there most are not aware of it but it whispers to us in altered states of consciousness, maybe chanting, dreaming, when in extreme pain, in our mythologies but there are those who go there in samadhi everyday. Susan ji said "[COLOR=blue]God is everywhere and in every life force[/COLOR][COLOR=black]" which I would amend to read [/COLOR][COLOR=blue]"God is everywhere and God is the life force."[/COLOR] Again I say this is what I believe I have no empirical evidence and am not trying to influence anyone else. I love speaking about it but not debating or arguing because it is faith and all faiths deserve respect. After all aren't we all on a spiritual path? Always Peace Satyaban [/QUOTE]
