With one significant and important difference that some on FFL cannot seem to grasp: When certain sectarian beliefs of Christianity proclaim that we can only be saved through acceptance of Jesus Christ as the Saviour, there is an unmistakable implication that those that don't are somehow less, or doomed. All I said was that Guru Dev and Maharishi are the catalysts for the spiritual regeneration of the world. Period. Unverifiable by each and every one of those reading this? Sure. Similar to whether the earth revolves around the sun, or the sun revolves around the earth. Also unverifiable. However the thing that is quite different between what I said and its comparison to the beliefs of Christian sects is that there is absolutely no implication or assertion I have made that anyone who doesn't believe this is wrong, or a lesser person, or doomed spiritually or otherwise. It is a significant difference, and yet several on this forum cannot decouple this possibility that Guru Dev and Maharishi have brought about the spiritual regeneration of the world, from some implication that lack of belief in this possibility means that I think they are lesser beings in some regard. Marek, you as a lawyer must surely see the logical inconsistency in these few posters' assertion? I consider this inability to decouple what I said from the stories they hold in their heads and hearts as neurotic- in other words, not fully in touch with the here and now. Why should that be made to appear as anyone else's problem except theirs? It sure ain't mine.:- )
