Upbringing and educatation have stifled the soul's proper turning towards the Divine. The turning will come late or not at all in the lifetime.<br /><br />On the other hand you utter a falshood, because souls are eternal and cannot be murdered. They can be submerged, minimized and covered over, but not killed. A distinction should be made between soul murder and soul obscuration, because soul murder per se, if someone starts to believe in it, will distort a person's thinking, make them fearful, and drive them farther away from the Master. An awareness of their soul's immutability, antiquity, and immortality is an essential step forward on the path. I might say one cannot be at peace until one remembers that one is eternal.<br /><br /><br />Parse your words carefully, wise one, for many innocent and naiive eyes read and your responsibility is to serve them well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-19955697876781723672009-04-30T19:50:00.000-07:002009-04-30T19:50:00.000-07:00Northern Bandit said "Government does create "weal...Northern Bandit said "Government does create "wealth" in certain ways.

An honest slactocracy, of the Classical Liberal variety, does create something - it creates the space (through its citizenry) where Law can exist, and where Individual Rights can exist between them. <br /><br />I hasten to add, govt does not CREATE Rights, and it certainly can't manufacture Rights (it only canibolizes true rights in the attempt), but political rights and objective law cannot exist without a legitimate government.<br /><br />There is no other earthly power as powerful as a government which upholds and defends individual rights, objective law and justice - I just wish that those who governed would realize that the attempt to expand its power only harms and weakens it, and us.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-55419844891257204302009-04-30T19:45:00.000-07:002009-04-30T19:45:00.000-07:00They LIVE!

But they're not, it's the con game they play on us all and their own selves first and foremost.
