Re: Anibanerjee

It is indeed an overwhelmingly sad occasion to be even coming close to bidding goodbye to your home and my heart goes out to you both. But as you rightly say Time and Season, when they come converging, man is helpless and has to accept reality. I had a very fne Guru at my college from  whose unbelievable teachings I draw strength from. One day someone came to meet him at the class with a grave face. He listened, became serious only for a while, and continued with the class. After it was over, he wept uncontrollably. We later learnt that the person came with the message that his young son had died of a mishap. Although he did not say anything, I couldn't but admire his commitment to his sense of duty, and my head bowed, still does, in obeisance to that great man who is now no more but the lesson will live with me for ever as long as I live.

Anibanerjee

Thanks very much for inquiring about my mother,  and praying for her.  I took her home from the nursing home yesterday,  but sadly only to get clothes and other items for her to take back to the nursing home.  It was very sad and traumatic for her, as she does not think she will go back home to live, even though I think she could.  So she was basically saying goodbye to her house and all the familiar things in it.  We emptied drawers and found things she had not seen in years,  and they made her sad, and overwhelmed her.  It was difficult for us both,  but it was a necessary task.  I told her that,  as it says in the Bible,  there is a time and season for all things,  and it is time for this.....    ..... thankfully, she is getting along better in the nursing home,  and might move to a better room next week, where we can make her more comfortable with clothes and furniture from her home.

Hope your mom is doing better on the health front, somewhat. I've kept her in my daily prayers.

Re: Re: Re: Anibanerjee

I have given an article based on your interesting query yesterday, Scoundrels turning Saintly, the how of it. I did not have enough time to investigate on the subject but your question did intrigue me a lot and I just started writing on the spur of the moment from whatever I knew. Hope it has turned out well.

...and also...

what a shame it is,  that those of us who diligently seek the truth,  are not given more clues by our cosmic superiors.  These are vital issues of life and death,  and we are left in the dark,  to grope and stumble and fall.

Re: Re: Anibanerjee

Now that is a poem I can relate to.  I agree that it is logical and likely that predatory spirits are goading all of us to be predatory ourselves,  and those humans who take that path of abuse and destruction are somehow supported and strengthened from the spirit realm.  Also, the same process is occurring on the opposite side, among those of us who value love, compassion, and helping others....  we receive support from spirits on the side of goodness and light,  or so I hope.  

What intrigues me is the "cosmic physics" of all this.  What types of energies are being given or taken between entities?  Can we gain physical strength from psychic or spiritual energies that come from other entities?  Can evildoers forcibly take these energies from us,  by abusing or destroying us?  These are my questions of the moment,  though I do not have the time to properly investigate them.

Re: Anibanerjee

Evil doers attract evil spirits, those that have departed and have yet not a bodily form to act out their own evil. They are the ones that lend support, motivation, energy, to the living evil doers of today. A man, otherwise unable to lift a stone too heavy for him, lifts a doubly heavy stone to hurt someone when in extreme anger. Where does he suddenly gain this energy from? Likewise, do gooders attract good energising forces from Nature for a just cause and become revolutionary freedom fighters that does a yeoman's service for his countrymen. But this is just something I feel very strongly, it's my take of which, evidences I have found in my life. I'll try give a write-up on the subject soon. Here's a quote from Dryden's absalom and Achitophel which says:

But, when to sin our bias'd nature leans, 

The careful Devil is still at hand with means; 

And providently pimps for ill desires: 

The good old cause reviv'd, a plot requires. 

Plots, true or false, are necessary things, 

To raise up common-wealths, and ruin kings. 


Cheers

My wish for Paddock to burn in hell was mostly rhetorical, and I did not mean forever.  Something like karma is more likely,  but with the huge amount of evil he did to so many people,  working off that huge amount of karma might seem like forever. 

I am curious what you thought about the theory that evil people/spirits actually drain some type of energy from their victims,  that strengthens them and weakens their victim.  The evildoers could be benefitting from this,  without even knowing about it,  as they do their abuse, domination, and destruction.  Is there something in Hinduism about this?

This is such a well-written account, interspersed with your commentary which makes it a beautifully coordinated article of what cosmic justice should be. I think that perhaps our cosmic superiors take time before the news reaches them and then the investigations, gathering of evidences etc. Jokes apart, I only visualise and concur with your point that may he burn in hell and get lasting lashes for ever. Actually such evil souls, when they are alive and scheming, evil souls already departed give strength and motivation and all support to such people that satiate the spirit-demons. This is because they don't have bodies to act out the evil of their minds. I am researching on this theory as a means of perpetuating evil, so, in that way it is irredeemable. My take, of course. Cheers .

Naut (revisited)

My good pal Naut.....  whether or not Paddock was associated with ISIS in any way,  you cleverly side-stepped my main point:  that Paddock should be considered an evil (irredeemable) human predator,  who had a predatory set of moral values that are the opposite of the normally accepted moral values.....  that Paddock was fully aware of his evil and embraced it,  as an alternative path in life,  to abuse or destroy others,  instead of helping others.  Paddock was NOT a victim of anything,  regardless of bad father, bad childhood, abuse,  brain tumor,  undiagnosed mental illness, etc.  He acted from his own moral autonomy and evil moral choice,  to be a predator,  to abuse and destroy others,  for the pleasure that it gave him.  That was the vital point of this post.......

I did not know that Paddock traveled in the Middle East.  Which countries did he visit, if you know?  I doubt he shared ISIS Muslim beliefs,  but he may have admired their predatory example of mass killings, and saw how he could do it in a way unique to his skills.  No doubt, what he pulled off was a wet-dream of the ISIS predators.  He is their brother in predator-ship and in murder,  if not in religious beliefs.  But, as you say,  even if he was doing it in association with ISIS,  we will probably never know.

As always, a very interesting post. Having said that, I don't think we can as yet totally dismiss the ISIS claim that he was one of 'theirs'.. He did travel in the Middle East, and even that wouldn't of course be necessary. There is no formal 'enlistment procedure' required - all you need to do is believe and act out your faith. And while there is no solid evidence so far, keep in mind there are many with strong motives for suppressing such evidence, should it be found...

I agree with you. Some people are out there to cause as much evil as they can. I cannot imagine what possessed to do that with his life.
