If I know that he is God and not merely a human being with a partial vision of the world. The faith I have in him is untouchable, I have experienced his presence in India and even here, in specific circunstances, as an answer to my questions, that is out of doubt. I thought that was the whole point of this website, the idea of God, and sharing our experience about God, whether it is positive or negative. You might not agree with me, and I respect that, then in turn respect my trust to him and his knowledge.
Thanks, Aimée. What you said is a perfect example of the BKs original sin, in my opinion: believing their knowledge to be infallible. Say it weren't right about the soul, or The Cycle, or rebirth, or karma, or even about God. All these to give reasons to the person what they should do. I respect you, I also see the danger of being absolutely sure of oneself. There is nothing more precious than allowing Life to prove to me that I don't know what the hell is going on.
It is a mistake of the BKs to think they know what's going on. Just as politicians do, the Seniors tell one story of what goes on, and there is another story you don't hear. Cautious thoughtful life choices are different that dramatic gestures. Just to learn to love is enough for a life.
This everyone should do this attitude and belief system is useless in describing the world, because everyone is doing something different than they should. Do we want to interact with the real world, or to try to make the world what it should be and then interact with it. That's what the US is attempting in the Middle East. To get Iraq to conform to its fantasy. Not seeing what is.
Can one accept that rather than remove barriers, it is possible, without spiritual disciplines beyond what's pleasurable to you can step out to and reach for whatever one wants in life directly? Or is it only after many years. Are we to wait for the Golden Age, or can life be full now if I allow myself to live it?
