You can be as crazy as you want to be, with no feedback from the world. And with no corrective feedback, there is no way to learn and grow, so the mind parasites win by default.</i><br /><br />To be fair, I know at least a few people with personality disorders who, in spite of having neither money nor celebrity, somehow manage to evade responsibility for their actions on a fairly permanent basis. They don't believe the feedback, so they still don't learn and grow.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-25194957067151023232018-01-05T13:26:50.825-08:002018-01-05T13:26:50.825-08:00I do not think there were right and left in time o...I do not think there were right and left in time of Lot when the homosexuals cover the horizon when even Lot angelic visitors were not immuned from their aggression. I think our world will never stop enduring the excessive and the restraint, the good and the bad the faithful and the faithless nor will it be saved from the haters and the lovers,the bigot and the tolerant, the abuser and the protector, those who refuse to co-exit with others like the Jews who built a wall around themselves to avoid contacting the filthy primitive Palestinian and those normal people who share the earth space with others. It is a paradoxical cosmos and paradoxical self and in that reside the dynamics that keep things going. Embodiment of certain principle is not a good indicator to judge the principles because there are always the falsifiers of the best principles like the story of the left you keep citing as example of those who nave falsified the christian principles. There is a verse which says that we should not keep ourselves busy with other people faults because such faults will cause us no harm if we are honestly pursuing the truthful path of god the one that has no example, the light of heaven and earth , the non-describable. The universality of the spiritual experience which Schuon emphasized is a warning for those who want to make it the exclusive right of certain sects or groups. It is unhealthy to confine the ever limitless grace of the almighty to certain section of his humanity and deprive others from its unlimited benevolence. All religions need to remember the oneness of the source of their religion and open their hearts to others. Yes it is no longer a geographical or space exploration but a psychological exploration in the self which the west have neglected through pursuing their material power and lavish living on the expense of others. Our planetary new consciousness can no longer tolerate such mess and the laws of the divine are calibrating to help the awake humans to clean the mess. It is time that we read and study the messages of the hurricanes and other natural outbursts with open mind and with the understanding the close connection between the human conducts and the natural worlds responses. It is a living world that welcome the healthy and react negatively against the sick. It is a serious matter that tolerate no triviality and idle gossip.
