Following up on Nabby's claimed reasons for his hatred of Buddhists, doesn't anyone ever wonder why he never thinks any of these rationalizations for hatred *through*?
Yes, there is a history of ritual and ceremonial magic in Tibet, long pre-dating the arrival of Buddhism. It was (according to myth) common among the Bon shamans who ran things in Tibet before Padmasambhava arrived and kicked them all out. There is very little history of magic being used for "dark" purposes afterwards. However, that's not how the cultures that *feared* Tibet and its dwellers' facility with magic (at least in myth if not in actuality) saw things. Chinese "adventures tales" always cast Tibetans as the Bad Guys. Always. It's like they were so terrified of the magic that they could only imagine what THEY would do with magic if they had mastered it, so they assumed that Tibetans would, too. So Chinese legends are full of non-magicians beating black magicians from Tibet in wars that never happened to avenge magical attacks against China that never happened. Similarly, there is little question that some of the sicker minds in the Third Reich had an unhealthy fascination with "objects of power" and with ritual magic, thinking it would help them rule the world. Whether anything ever happened with such fascinations is debatable. Certainly Angela has all the credibility of Willytex, so *nothing* she ever says can be taken with less than a pound bag of salt. But what Nabby misses entirely is that in his imagined scenario it's the GERMANS who imagine dastardly things to do with black magic, and who import (supposedly) Tibetans to help them do it. If Nabby were sane, he'd see that it's GERMANS he should have an unreasoning hatred for, not Buddhists. But he can't do that, first because he's German, and second because *he* suffers from the same mind disease that the Nazis did. When he hears about "magical abilities," the first thing (and often the only thing) his mind turns to is how they could be used against HIM, or against people he identifies with, like TMers. His rantings here are FULL of such paranoia, whether it's CIA agents infiltrating the TMO or FFL, or the Dalai Lama paying people to badrap TM, or whatever. In other words, the person who embodies the sick, twisted aspect of this fascination with magic *to achieve the ends of one's ego* is NABBY. He is essentially the modern counterpart of the Nazis who did the same thing in WWII. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB <no_re...@...> wrote: > > Word on the street is that several famous Nazis > in Nabby's family had their faces melted off by > Buddhists during the war.
