[QUOTE="JimRinX, post: 86816, member: 6872"] Gentlepeople! Such Vitriol! Such RUDE Prattle! Let me assure you, as a man who has been lucky enough to have had a couple of little 'visits' with 'you-know-who' himself, that the one truly 'false' dogmas are the ones that make Human Beings want to [B]Tear Each Others Throats Out!!![/B] God is LOVE - in it's Purest and Most Unadultrated Form, My Good jis; so if you want to Impress [I][B]ME[/B][/I], then drop the Combative Stylings, and do a little (or, in your case Dzokhar & VJ - a LOT!) of Meditating on The Evil Consequences of Giving in to our own EGOCENTRIC Tendencies, FIRST!!!;) Why, you may ask? Hows this: Do you have any Idea how many WARS have been fought - because of Hot Heads like yourselves - over Dogmatic Nit-Picking?!?:eek: I can assure you: GOD does NOT Approve of HATE or such Vitriolic Discord; no matter which Book you Favor, which Guru you Follow, or whether you wear a Turban or not (though I encourage you to do so, especially in America; as you'll help to broaden their easilly fightened minds a bit - which is something many Americans could use!). If you truly KNOW GOD - and wish to Please Hirm (Ching Mias neat Him/Her Combo word!); then you MUST [I]at the very least[/I] Agree to Love One Another!:yes: Now, as far as Creation is concerned; up to this day and age most of the Seekers - if not all of them - who've been fortunate enough to Commune with God, and ask Hirm such a Question, were - by our Modern standards - rather Primitive Persons who lacked the kind of Scientific Education that most of us now have (though this was not their fault, nor does it in any way detract from their Teachings). Thus, when God showed them a Protoplanetary Nebulae condensing, a Stars Core collapsing and beging to Fuse, a Planet Cooling Down and it's Oceans Formimg, Waves Laping at a Tide Pool, Lipids forming Fatty Spheres filled with RNA, and the First Cells Sparking to Life (if a Comet did not seed the Earth); most of them did not know how to describe what it was that they were seeing, so we get this "Let Their Be Light" and "God took up a Ball Of Clay, then Blew the Breath of Life into It", etc. (Sorry, I'm best educated about Christian 'Theories'; though I'm a Buddhist who really likes your Sikh Teachings quite a Lot!), as that was the best they could manage - metaphor-wise - with their rather primitive World View, and lack of Scientific Education. Now I believe - not be immodest - that I was fortunate enough to have been shown these things, myself; and since I DO have a pretty goos Education, I immediately understood what I was seeing - as well as what had happened when one of Our Ancestors Long Ago had also asked the same simple question of God that I did. "What is this Life Stuff all about, Lord?":confused: That's why I STRESS the 'Wars' being fought over such simple misunderstandings - which have often arisen over the use of different Metaphors by Equally Correct Seekers; for it's all too sad that so much missery and suffering have come about over such petty squabling in regards to 'Dinosaur Bones', 'Days of work and Rest', 'Which Day to Pray', etc.. Not to mention People like Giovani Bruno being burned at the Stake Alive - just for wondering if other Stars might, like our Sun, have other Planets with Other Life Forms like Ourselves living on them!!!! I mean; how would a seeker in - say - 2000 B.C.E. [I]KNOW[/I] what it was that he/she was being shown [I]if [/I]God [I]had [/I]shown them Lifeforms living on another Planet? Think about this when you read The Ancient Prophesies!;) As for me: I would be burned alive by 'The Church' too, if I would have to told [I]Them[/I] - in the 1400's -that GODS ANSWER to MY OWN QUESTION ABOUT LIFE had included a trip to a nearby Nebulae to see a kind of 'Cosmic Tumbleweed' (which was Gods way of answering a question I'd had about why Complex Organic Molecules have been detected in these Nebulae, even though Stellar Radiation MUST be Destroying them, which it is - only NOT AS FAST AS THESE 'COSMIC ALGAL MATTS' ARE MAKING MORE!), as well as a Visit to a Creature on a Planet with a HUGE Blue sun, who - like all of us - shares the trait of having a 'Clear Light Part' or a 'Soul'!!!

Keep that in mind, before you whip out your Kirpans and start going at one another, Dzokhar:inca: and VJ :mad:!!! PEACE, LOVE, AND THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT - [I][B]IS[/B] [/I]WHAT IT IS [U]ALL ABOUT[/U]!!!!:D Keep It Cool - HOT HEADS!
