[QUOTE="JimRinX, post: 106470, member: 6872"] Mai ji First let me warn you; some of the opinions that I'm about to express may irritate - even anger - many of you; but I'm compelled by my own personal relationship with the Divine One, to try and perform certain deeds that I agreed to at least try, in whatever small way that I might find to have been made available to me, to make happen. The most Important of these deeds is to attempt to contribute to the Unification of ALL PEOPLE; by reminding everyone that we were ALL, at one time, A SINGLE TRIBE, with a single belief, a single pantheon, etc.; in the Name of Saving the Earth from our having been 'pooping where we eat' for far too long - as this can only be accomplished in such a manner. And, you see, War, Strife, Conflict - no matter what there reason, purpose, or objective - all have way too Big of a Carbon Footprint! Thus while I curse the British Cartographers who got YOU, the Kurds, the Marsh Arabs, the Palastinians, etc., into the MESS we're ALL IN; to harp on - let alone make war over - 'split milk', is an impulse we must all deny ourselves; even those who foment for 'Sikhistan Lost' (Surprised that a not-so-ignorant American even knows this stuff?). Thus, now that you know just how 'Buddhist' my feelings are vis a vis conflict; who was really wrong? Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale or Indira Ghandi and the Congress Party? Because I've always hoped that India would hold it together - for the good of all who call themselves Indians (I HATE the Partition! Look what it's brought us!); I'm going to (be Politically Correct ala SPN) and say that they both wrong, wrong, wrong - since it was people like YOU, Mai ji, who [B][U]lost[/U][/B], while [B]NOBODY [/B]who was invloved in the whole mess [B][U]won[/U][/B] [I]anything at all!!![/I] As far as the 5 K's are concerned; I just re-read the Sikhipedia entry (I did study Sikhism [I][U]before[/U][/I] joining SPN; but it's all still rather new to me), and I once again see the Beauty in the Symbolism of these Customs; but then I've always, quite instinctively, felt it wrong to cut my own hair - despite the red-necks and their, "Was that a Man or a Woman....." BS! Mines just comming back to shoulder length, after my having had Surgery to remove a Cyst from my Brain in 2007. Piri/Miri actually sounds kind of strange - coming from Sikhs who are so adamant about their abhorance of a 'Priest Class'; but since Sikhism developed in a Monarchical World, and you wanted your Best and Most Enlightened to be Respected Leaders - again, the symbolism is appropriate. But it's just that: symbolism. And symbolism is not worth Hating, Fighting, Killing, or Dying for!!! Neither are lines on a Map - especially not when, if the Earth DIES, the space between them will become unihabitable! In the Sikh world, I know, fighting has often been unavoidable acts of self-preservation; so please don't think that I'm being overly critical; I'm mostly Germanic (Low), and to use a Star Trek reference of my own (The Andoran Ambassador), "My People are a very war-like people." As for Tao; I've always believed that the all-infusing, all-aware, all-encompassing 'thing' that Lao Tsu was alluding to, [I]is[/I] Naam. Would not Naam - like a Rose, by any other name, not smell as sweet? It's ALL Energy Fields, Mai ji; why, my right hand only fails to pass clean through my left one for the same reason we can't push the North Poles of two magnets together! That God, Naam, Allah, whatever Exists - that it might have layed all of this out for the edification of us 'pupal souls'; it doesn't sound so unlikely when one looks at it that way. (I've been bantering with Atheist Scientists and Christopher Hitchens-types!) As far as the 'Mighty Whities' are concerned....WHEW! That was a CLOSE ONE (they tried to get ME killed by Black People, by making it look like I killed a Mentally Retarded Black Girl!); and it's not over yet! All this happened in 2003 - and I haven't really even begun to mess with them back; though, this time (I, and my Mom, started this fight in 1982!), with 'W' and (former USAG [U][B]and[/B][/U] former Ku Klux Klansman) John Ashcroft on their side - I may not get a very satisfying return from my counter-Klan attack efforts; as they've already raided my Personal Files and Safe Deposit Box to steal my (largely documentary) evidence of their own wrong-doing. They may have even destroyed the evidence of my having gotten an Air Force SSgt Court Marshalled, in 1982, for trying to force me and his son (one of my best friends, at the time) to join 'The JUNIOR KKK'!!! Damn the Patriot Act!!! I KNEW that if the Grandson of an unabashed NAZI sympathizer (Prescott Bush, Sr.) - not to mention a former Klansman as ODIOUS as Ashcroft - ever got ahold of that kind of Power, that there'd be hell to pay for anti-Klan, pro-Civil Rights activists like me! They hate me even more, because I'm White - like them! They say that, with my complexion and red beard, I'm their 'Model Super Human' (such recruitment tactics!); so I tell them, "SUPER, Maaaan! NOW, since you look up to me so; stop being such a bunch of racist red-necked jerks! Hatered and Violence are INFERIOR Traits, worthy only of Untermennen!" (Remember your friend, JimRinX, the next time someone calls you a 'Towel Head' - or a 'Sand N-word'!) I haven't begin to litigate this - yet; so I'm going to leave it at that, for now - even though I KNOW that THEY already know all about whatever evidence that I have to use against them; why else would they have raided my Files?!?
