Yes or an electric cattle prod ... that would be helpful.

I love that word psychopomp ... I don't know why but I keep repeating it to myself its so delicious. You can of course have a combined god Hermanubis ... if you so choose. The Duat is a fascinating place ... have a look at the Amduat for more information.

Please could you issue us each with a uniform including a peaked cap and a pointed stick to pick up litter as we go. Thank you.

A quiet day on the Gospel front so here's no. 14).

No what I am saying ... if you look at what I actually say ... is that the control now comes from unseen sources and our culture(s) have been degraded to a point where there is very little that people get energised about. We are kind of politically sedated. But its not fascism because with Mr. Hitler and others you knew where the power was and could attack it ... now our leaders are not our leaders ... they are puppets. Material prosperity is a kind of anaesthetic ... and so on. Anyway if you want to call it fascism that's up to you guys ... the OP title had a question mark which I thought meant this was about a debate ... but I guess you prefer to use this term ... so I'll go away and play with my chakras ...

It is bad ... its worse in some ways (i.e. more sophisticated control) but its not fascism. That's my position.

Ok I get it.

Not sure what you mean by karmakazi ... do you mean kamakazi? and why would you describe the crucifixion like this?

I live in the country that had a fascist regime until 1974 and I know many people who lived under this government ... what we have now is nothing like what fascism actually was like. That's not a text book definition its just an observation.

The centre of gravity of the human body is just below the navel where the LDT is. Dr. Yang actually regards the geographic centre of the body to be the diaphragm ... and the MDT to be located around there.

Yes, clearly the different disciples took Jesus on different levels ... an angel, a philosopher ... and 'incomparable' ... which presumably earned Thomas a special transmission ... three things ... why three things I wonder ... and those three things would earn him the enmity of the others who in their rage would throw stones at him ... which would then backfire (as in karmic redress) onto the stone throwers. Of course Thomas (as in doubting) gets a bad press in the other gospels ... he was a doubter and needed proof of Christ's wounds and resurrection ... as if that is something bad ... so maybe that's the others throwing metaphorical stones????

Yes ... good point ... James rather than Peter as the successor. I can only assume that James was the one among the disciples who actually 'made it' ... in other words God created the universe in order to produce enlightened beings and James is one... but that's just a guess really.

a post that takes some balls but is worth hanging around for.

I think if true fascism took over you'd get a real shock and realise that what you have is nothing like that. debt is irrelevant ... the British Empire in all its pomp was (nearly) always in debt ... China is still an inward looking culture and I believe will so remain.

You yanks are so gloomy. I grew up in a country which had lost its world power status and it became an obsession with the politicos. Decades of introspection and gloom. All completely unnecessary. To be honest the US may have lost its own self-image as the 'good guy' but it has not its world status ... and I think that is still unchallenged ... believe it or not. There has never been any form of democracy which did not amount to 'the few' dictating to the 'many'. What distinguishes the 'west' is that as individuals we have rights under law and essentially we are left alone with a lot of personal freedom. Neither of these apply in Fascist states ... so no the west is not fascist. The problem with the west and the world is the lack of a viable alternative to status quo ... and this in itself is tired and lacks any ambition for making things better. In the past in the 19 and 20 century different ideologies battled to prove that they had the answer to life's problems ... they didn't but the most successful of them is the one we have ... don't waste time trying to define it in terms of the old politics ... define it by highlighting the alternative to what we have ...

Another US centred thread about politics! American politics is so warped that you don't actually have a left wing ... the democrats would be right wing in Europe. The term Fascism is banded about in such a way that it has become synonymous with any system people don't like. And communism is completely misunderstood. In many European countries there are communists in the national assembly and they often run large local authorities successfully within a capitalist system. The same goes for Marxists and Anarcho-Syndicalists. Having a range of political philosophies makes a huge difference - or has done historically. However and I think this is the main point nowadays all ideologies and ideas about social organisation have been subsumed by global market capitalism which is actually highly successful in marketing itself as the ideal solution to peoples needs while actually being the very thing we don't need. But values in education and in the general consciousness from the media and so on have been so captured that we have more or less a zero alternative mono-culture which presents itself with liberal trappings of tolerance and so on but is actually highly intolerant of any other system or culture. It wants to wipe out other possible ways of living. This is not the old fashioned totalitarianism of the 20 century its something else ... its what two world wars and a cold war threw up for us to digest. It wants conflict to gain power but it doesn't want the kind of conflict which threatens its stranglehold on our lives - so it teeters from little war to little war but makes sure it does not get out of hand or break out into any kind of revolutionary movement. I don't think we have much choice about this and as cultivators we have work within the system 'in the world but not of the world'.

Two this time cos 12) is a bit straightforward.

Why would they be? The light/God is infinitely creative no need to create countless identical beings ... anyway it doesn't matter what I think we should proceed with the GoTh.

Hey your good with dem quotes ... sure son of god ...

Sounding wise is not being wise. yes ... the empirical ego is a kind of false-self (based on the lie of separate private purpose) and the light-self is the true self but it is a self in complete dependence (?) on the light of God but with its own unique value and destiny as a light being. Call it a Son of Light perhaps.

Yes alone and in communion. Light is information ... literally in - forming ... intention of form(s) ... don't you think? Jeff you are much more a master of light realms than I ... I am a creature of the dark

Which side of you is the blue light? or in front?

which bit are you?

God's light imparts to its created entities (creatures) each a unique form or essence ... a name if you like ... this is what makes us unique beings and not clones. Or that's how it seems to me anyway. A bit like a fate or destiny ... a message stream which imparts your purpose within the light.
