Light? And what is your/the Freemasonic symbol for that Light? An angelic Light-being? ============= Familiar with your previous postings I had the impression you were a person knowledgeable in spiritual matters, even if I don't agree with you. What I now find is that you have not only managed to totally miss the basis for all religions as viewed by the TMO, the Absolute transcendental field of life (that which is unborn yet omnipresent) - but actually have missed out on the basic tenet of all eastern religions/spiritual practices. Therefore I think that your claims to have experience of TM false. In fact, it is like your world view is turned upside down and stands on its head. A quote from the Internet: "It is a mark of the evil spirit to assume the appearance of an angel of light. He begins by suggesting thoughts that are suited to a devout soul, and ends by suggesting his own. For example, he will suggest holy and pious thoughts that are wholly in conformity with the sanctity of the soul. Afterwards, he will endeavor little by little to end by drawing his soul into his hidden snares and evil designs" ... and, finally, a Chick link: http://www.chick.com/catalog/comics/0109.asp
