Edgar, Geez, you couldn't make this stuff up. Because Buddha didn't get a teddy when he was 5 he went out and rediscovered the Dharma... You're entertaining if nothing else. Mike Sent from Yahoo!

The so called 'spiritual aspect of humans' is just a projection by humans that feel incomplete and unloved of their notion of ideal parents onto the sky in the hope they might somehow find the love and completeness they feel they lack. The so called 'spiritual aspect of humans' you so glorify is actually a psychological aberration, a sickness. Animals, at least those that are maltreated as babies, experience the EXACT same longing for the better childhood they never had. In case you weren't aware of it HUMANS ARE ANIMALS and all the basic feelings and emotions of humans and other animals are variations of the same things...
