It does indeed seem that the planets and Stars revolve around the EARTH, doesn't it? Curiously enough, this is not so.

If you are wise, you will practice Karma Yoga gladly, joyously, passionately and RELIGIOUSLY. Once you have set foot, that is, once you have been so fortunate as to set foot upon the Path in the proper place and with & in the proper company {as we are all destined} ... we should do all in our...

Let's see, if I can recollect my own prior incarnations, who becomes the `expert' ... ?

Adityas (Sanskrit) Āditya-s [belonging to, issuing from aditi unbounded expanse] Sons of Aditi, space; in the Vedas a name for the sun; also referred to variously as five, seven, eight, and twelve in number. The eighth aditya (Marttanda) was rejected by Aditi, leaving seven son-suns, each...

bb, et al {as to address us `one' is to address us in group format, too} ... No, I don't necessarily disagree with you, were you to suggest that there is a future and Heavenly, as well as also an Earthly Zion quite well on the way. But while I may *seem* to wax Xian for a moment, bb, I think...

It is the Soul Itself, the vehicle of the SPIRITUAL Consciousness, which is the CRUX of our human evolution and the special domain of the Christ, or World Teacher, called the Bodhisattva in the West ... and `Messiah' by the Jewish people, Saoshyant by the Persian, Imam Mahdi by the Muslim, and...

Yeah, I figure the clock is ticking. Just an hour left to go to read stuff here on the East coast ... and thanks to those pesky Mayans, we don't get to have Christmas at all this year! ;) :p

Rofl, if Mohandas K. Gandhi didn't make his way to highest heaven ~ perhaps prior to a rebirth 3 decades ago, for all we know ~ then I can bet you all the tea in China that neither will you find radarmark, AndrewX/Taijasi/Ecumenist, skinker, a cup of this or that, nor ANY OTHER SOUL on the...

I recommend a reading of the Bhagavad Gita for luecy7. Once you read that (again, if you already have), you may realize that the viveka I speak of is PRECISELY what is referenced in the quote you provide where "allegedly Christ said" ~. And this is why I am on one side of the fence, and you are...

I have a long post, which I have basically typed up twice, and which has some merit to it. If you're bored and have a snack, you may decide to wade through it. Otherwise, I can save you some trouble, and just comment that I am not feeling charioteer-like at the present moment. I realize I should...

The sword of which Christ speaks is called `viveka.' It is discrimination, or Discernment. Read Patanjali's Yoga Aphorisms if you need to brush up. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is the Sword of Manjushi, and I recommend at least researching THIS (even if all you do is google an image). Christ did...

Also, yeah, there is karma between Kingdoms, I'm pretty sure. And in that, slight karmic indebtedness on the count of a 3rd Kingdom to the 4th is a small, small matter as we compare ours to them! Or to the 5th, or others. Yet watch this. If we suddenly, instantly [John Lennon-style and all]...

Biblical??? Who knows; who cares. This is academic. Either you're a vegetarian, and you know that eventually we will all be ~ and should be ~ or else it's a lost cause [till you come around]. ;) :) But yeah, the animals suffer, especially when kept in the deplorable, 12 inch by 12 inch type...

I'm kind of rushed ... but I would suggest browsing How Spirit Interpenetrates the Physical BUILDING THE BRIDGE in order to visit the idea of bubbles in koilon which Nick has described in these or other words. Also, note the Theosophical anu or root atom of physical matter, which Nick has also...

Well I'm glad you're here to sort it all out ... although I'd be worried about my own "faith and very little heart" ~ if I were you. In short, I'm not the one with doubts as to what I believe, where my faith rests, or what kind of discernment I'm using. Did it ever occur to you that I'm...

For reference, this is how I see it. I have studied certain particulars for 22 years & during several former incarnations since the time of Jesus: Buddha: History records Shakyamuni's incarnations as Vyasa, who gave us the Vedas ... the original Zarathustra ... Orpheus, the Lyricist ...

I think what mostly challenges some ... is the idea that God actually cooperates ~ with other parts of God's expression. If that's too much for you, just fathom that God expects YOU to cooperate ... with God, with each other, and yes, with ANYONE who demonstrates that s/he is able to lead you...

There is one further consideration, albeit a lengthy one, that I think might help if we're going to take a look at the Stanzas in any kind of linear order ... especially if we're beginning with Stanza I. There are what is called the `Three Fundamental Propositions,' and these need to be kept in...

Mentality, as radarmark has just pointed out, is the 5th dimension ... even if Higher Manas operates quite beyond [in terms of efficiency, as also with regard to Potency] what most of us are accustomed to experiencing. Some considerations: The Buddhic plane corresponds with the 6th dimension...

In the past ten or twenty years I've seen the quote by Mahatma Gandhi appear here and there, in signature files and Facebook posts, encouraging us to "BE the change we wish to see in the world" ... even as did the aspirant and initiate-Disciple Jesus of Nazareth, with other-than the warmest of...
