so then upon what fixed medium exactly could pundits be working. Vibrations perceived in humanity about 5000 years ago, crafted on a then in vogue hierarchy of Vedic storm God's, etc. ? Of course you can argue that these were great rishis and they went "beyond time". But even so, 3000 BCE ain't 2007. We've evolved. Our nervous systems aren't even close. I don't buy the Vedic eternity-tradition bullshit trip any more. Although I did use to enjoy the story.
-----It obviously touches some nerves though. My own belief, and I do believe this, is that there are universal deities which are perceived through the apperceptual bias of the culture but those deities in no way whatsoever are changed, or diminished by their being worshipped through all cultuires, though all cultures are not understanding that they are worshipping the same impulses. Of course I'm talking about the pagan religions and not the monistic religions. Yeah, basically I don't have time to do 125,000 mantras for this deity or that so I will pay for it for the benefit. I think that's cool. Maybe others think that sucks or that the Vedas are misguided but that's their limitation. I also like having pujas done at www.monlam.org and other places. Give the spiritual a job. That's great! i wish I could have had a spiritual job, or been a TM teacher, unlike most of you fucking ingrates but they wouldn't have me.
