Whatever I might agree or disagree with, I am obliged to point out again, WHERE YOU PUT YOUR ATTENTION ... that, you become.
"Where attention goes, Energy flows."
The solution to a problem is not to focus on, curse or otherwise talk up the problem itself. It lies in accepting the impediment, raising ourselves to the next higher plane of awareness, and working Constructively, Creatively and Lovingly to effect the proper solution. And that will always bring out the best in both ourselves, and all others involved. At worst, we may be required to express our disagreement, or our dissent, through SILENCE.
Was the Silence of the Christ before Pilate an indication of HIS approval, or of HIS condoning of what the F. was going on?
Alright then. Don't feed me a line about "silence indicating consent." You don't know JACK ... if you ain't the one who's being silent. Indeed, you may safely and wisely assume at least some degree of DISagreement, as otherwise, why not simply nod, or speak your affirmation?
My point is, you will never advance your *own* cause, while you are busy trying to fight, snuff out or put down what another has accepted as his own. Only when there is armed, violent conflict does it become necessary to defend oneself or one's compatriots through a like, hopefully superior, show of force.
I do not witness violence resulting from our discussions at INTERFAITH, fortunately ... even if some here would as soon SNUFF OUT the ecumenical motives and actions which I am trying to let define & characterize my presence here. And as any of you may witness, or might have witnessed, when I cross the line and cease to live up to my current Ideal, or that of an earlier identity [TAIJASI] ~ how then can I justify my words, my actions and their repercussions?
I cannot. Thus at any point at which I recognize that I stand corrected, or otherwise `set back on the proper Path,' it behooves me to thank those who have pointed out my error ... and if I am sincere, I will follow this gratitude with further and renewed effort to be truly Christ-LIKE in my future actions.
Never might I imagine the Christ spewing bile or speaking in a tone filled with hatred and rage. Nor would He condemn entire religions or their followers, EVEN when there may be some dead-ends that He can, and could, plainly see or otherwise point out as being precisely such.
Thus the Christ came not to destroy but to FULFILL the Law ... and in the last two passages of the Hebrew Scriptures as presented in the Christian Bible, we see all the evidence we need [if we are sincere, with eyes and ears open] that Christ taught Reincarnation to his Apostles directly [if not also to the masses] ... as by Elijah's rebirth as John the Forerunner, the indication of Malachi came to fruition.
Nor will the ignorant of the LAW of Rebirth understand that in subsequent incarnation, as best I can tell, John the Baptizer appears as Mohammed, while today, his incarnation further proves that Christ's lesson with Nicodemus is worth paying attention to, heeding and otherwise accepting IF WE dare to call ourselves Christians.
Jews tend to reject their own Messiah, and Muslims pretty much do the same ... at least when they fly planes into buildings, or destroy property and the lives of innocent civilians in the "name of Mohammed, or worse, of ALLAH." I assure you, the Messenger Mohammed in his present lifetime has and wants NOTHING to do with that kind of crap ... even as Christ Jesus must, daily, give further expression to those five familiar words, "I did not know you."
