So...a "Maha Rishi" cognizing the "missing verse." Is that sorta like Benjamin Creme talking about the "space brothers" or Maitreya, or is it more like Lou talking about how the space aliens were going to descend on Israel this last summer and take all the "chosen people" away to a new home in the sky, or is it more like somebody channeling some supposedly-wise dead thing or being from some other plane? Just checking, because as far as I can tell they all have exactly the same two elements in common. First, they are completely unverifiable...nothing but "He/she said such-and-such." Second, they depend *entirely* on the level of FAITH that the follower or believer brings to the table. If the follower is *used to* suspending disbelief and treating everything said by the teacher as if it's Cosmic Truth, well...they're going to do so again when he claims to have "cognized the missing verse from the Vedas." Or when he claims to be in commun- ication with space aliens or some mysterious world savior, none of who ever seem to show up in real life. Or when he/she says that he/she is in channel- ing some high being from somewhere. In other words, what you're talking about is FAITH. If you've got it, and are used to suspending your discriminative faculties and just believing what you are told to believe, no problemo. If, on the other hand, you'd kinda like a little objective something to *back up* these extraordinary claims, you're shit out of luck. But, as we all know, anyone who *would* like to have a little objective evidence to back up extraordinary subjective claims is often characterized by you guys who work purely on FAITH as "less evolved" than you are. You are "more evolved" than we are, and can see the "truth" of the situation where we -- deluded, lost souls that we are -- cannot. Did I paraphrase your many posts to this effect here on FFL correctly, Nablus? :-) Bottom line is that you have chosen to believe the things that you believe. Very few of them have any- thing to do with any kind of measurement of reality. It is your *right* to believe in these things if you want to, and it is even your right to try to convince others that they are real, or "truth." But it is *our* right to laugh at you when you try, and to remind you every so often that you might benefit from realizing that you're talkin' crazy shit. You may *believe* in the crazy shit firmly, and you may consider those who *don't* believe in the crazy shit to be beneath you or less evolved than you are. But we low-born, lost, semi-skeptics outnumber you, and as far as I can tell, we also tend to have a lot more fun in our lives than you have in yours. So you can get as serious as you want to get, and you can look down on us all you want from your elevated, more evolved level, and we're *still* going to laugh at you. In fact, the more serious and the more elitist you get, the more we're going to laugh at you. Someday you might consider joining us, and learning to laugh at yourselves...
