"As it is forbidden to Christians, Jews, you name the sect. "
Uhuh ...
"A Sufi fable tells of a young lout who presents himself to an Adept. "I wish only to serve you," says the boy. After a year the boy asks to speak with the Adept. "I have served you for a year. I now ask that you tell me the Secrets of Life." "
A good one ...
One of the many morals of this fable is that the blueprint for a new religion is never given to fools or louts. I could ask you, Aladdin, to tell us how it was that Mohammad received the Koran, and you would doubtless tell a tale ..."
Ummmmmh ...
"It does not happen like that. "
Phew! ...OK Oliver ...you had me worried there :-)
" Messages from God are given to those who prepare themselves to receive them, via yoga, meditation, ritual--all those practices we would lump under the general heading of "Magic." The messengers have always been practitioners of "Magic." "
Occultists.
There is a difference ...a fine point maybe ...but cud be significant.
It is "who you call upon ..." that is the point.
There are forces out there ...which ones do you call when you meditate?
Let us distinguish between these ...Magic and Occult as in calling upon something VS The Source.
"Their followers end up with the task of recording the teachings of the Master. "
"At this point the Agents of Control intervene as editors, in order to co-opt the original message. "
Yes in general this is what has happend in history and continues thru the present - that is - the established MESSAGE gets taken over by ...other forces.
We should all be well acquainted by now as to the cycles in this earthly existence.
Is this not the way it was meant to be - as a trial for us in our brief stay on Earth?
"How many "Christian" Lambs of God does it take to blow up an abortion clinic, how many Palastinians does it take to fragment a pizzeria in Jerusalem, before people begin to realize that organized religion of any stripe is more of a barrier between God and humankind than it is an avenue?"
Yes - ORGANIZED religion is one that has been taken over - be it Judaism, Christianity or Islam ...or the older Oral Traditions of Veda-Buddha, ...Tao.
Many Muslims today have forgotten that the Qur'an has instructed that there is to be NO Priesthood ...NO Imamate! (I'll have to lookup the appropriate references later OK ...) and it is for every Believer to go Go Direct to The Source.
In my understanding it is like a NEXT Generation Internet Server where ALL the Users can PLUG-IN to the Central Database ...!
Spriritually that is ...but the analogy is appropriate as more of us get online.
We all link-up with each other - Network! - such as here on RMN ...and begin to Understand
...as well as by-pass the Organized Control Mechanisms imposed by the Magician-Occultic-Satanic-Freemason NWO freaks.
Take it easy.
