Re: Re: Allegorically speaking.....

Objectively considered,  it really should not take  'aeons of time'  to learn simple moral lessons,  that a child can learn in months or years.  And yet,  that may be true.  If so,  there are important reasons that are hidden from us.  I will be addressing that issue,  in forthcoming posts.  Cheers

Re: Allegorically speaking.....

This is definitely not the right juncture for any sort of reconciliation. Just as you read ... Krishna says, let the ignorant do as they will and do not try to teach them the right way because, in their ignorance they will only misunderstand and will do more harm than good. They, in the kindergarten, will take aeons of time to get to some decent levels of maturity.

Re: Anib

Absolutely true I am in full concurrence with you on this.

Allegorically speaking.....

......  this ultimate reconciliation that you and RA speak of,  if it is even desirable or possible,  may occur a million or billion years from now.  From an 'education' perspective,  evil predators might morph into good,  after they have learned their lessons,  as you say.  It is like,  they might graduate from college in a million years,  but right now,  in kindergarten,  there is no reconciliation possible with them.  Trying to talk about reconciliation now is, to me,  pointless and distracting. Cheers

...... just as,  apparently,  there is no reconciling between Arjuna and his evil predatory kin,  over in your blog.  Krishna tried reconciliation,  it failed,  and now there will be war,  to stop the predatory kin.

I am not completely against this idea of  "reconciliation".  Between well-meaning people,  reconciliation is a good thing,  if they can achieve it.  And it will be some sort of compromise,  right? 

But between good and evil people or entities,  I don't think reconciliation or compromise is a good thing.  There is no compromise between God and Satan.  The desired result is for the evil ones to stop being evil,  and become good.  We try to change them through loving them,  but when that does not work,  we must defend ourselves.  In the case of the extreme evil of ISIS,  we must not only defend ourselves,  but attack them and wipe them out.  There is no reconciling with such evil.

Yes, yes!  that is a great way to describe these rogues who call themselves RA,  spreading their moral "diisease" as "medicine".  I wish I had thought of that one,  LOL.  But the hapless humans who contacted RA were enthralled by he/she/it,  and think that they are spreading the ultimate truth.

Yes, that pharoah was Akhenaton (spelling?),  who has been called the first monotheist,  worshipping the Sun as the one life-giving God,  and rejecting all other Egyptian gods,  banning them and their priests.  It caused a huge upheaval and rebellion.  It is an amazing true story of history.

Good for you,  but I know that you are a loving and decent person.  Others not so loving and decent also have their own concepts of 'my God',  like Muslim terrorists for example.  We must try to question and investigate beyond our own concept of God,  and according to standards of love and justice.  He is his own truth,  and we must seek it

I must clarify that when I am talking of reconciliation, I am not talking about reconciliation of foxes and hen types; that is Nature's ways of maintaining balance, but the predators and prey in the 'so-called' human society. This transition is possible only in human species, but not until the predator has learnt his lesson the very hard way.

Firstly, interesting. Because I don't remember having rubbed shoulders with any Of the kind as RA. Probably also because of the statement we, collectively (and here it digresses) are not of the stuff of Love. How can that be, or is it that they wish to change the definition of Love? isn't love the glue that binds? Partly, again, I am in agreement with their reconciliation philosophy which, you do not seem to agree with. I agree because eventually it has to; there is no other way. But it is not only a very long drawn and a tedious process but the journey too, is very individual. There cannot be anything like 'collective'. Somehow, I feel there is a stench of a certain bunch of evil-doers getting together to spread the 'disease' as 'medicine' by convincing people by writing volumes of indecipherable language open to debate and misleading in design,  and take advantage of false currency which, over time starts doing  rounds as genuine greenback. I wll be wary of such teachings that does not have the sound of serenity. More discussions, i think. Will be there in the offing. Cheers

Interesting. The only God named Ra of which I know is the Egyptian sun god, Ra. Caused an upheaval back in the day for the Pharaoh who mandated the belief in only Ra, if I recall. Good post.

I don't go to church or belong to any sects or anything ever. I have my faith and me and my God are on very good ground.

There are some similarities,  but the Law of One movement is entirely separate from Scientology.  They have not yet butted their heads together.  I suspect they would attack each other as invalid and fraud.....  Kind of like gangsters fighting over territory.

The Law of One movement, starting in the 80's,  is much newer than Scientology, starting in the 50's.  I have been following the developments of Scientology, and I am very disappointed with it.  It had some great potential,  but it took a wrong turn and has become very abusive.

The Law of One movement is too new to tell where it will go,  but I don't think it will go anywhere good.  Cheers

I've never heard of RA... sounds a little bit like scientology?
