Esclarmonde & Rixon,
You guys are giving me the big head. I am very happy you enjoyed that post. I thought it might be time for me to work on my ying feminine side a bit, as I do have a tendency to become strident at times. Since you like it, I will try and work up some more stuff you might like.
I would strongly recommend if you have not already, to read Stitchin's Earth Chronicles, The Twelth Planet, Wars of Gods and Men and Genesis Revisited. I promise you will not be able to put them down once you start.
Of all the religions of today, I think the East Indians, and the Budhists are probably closer to the American Indian and Jesus in recognizing the essence of energy. All the great masters were really saying the same thing. Most countries have experienced their own great teacher. Thor comes to mind in the European countries. Have you ever noticed that energy is always the focal point? We see Thor throwing thunderbolts from his hand, but what do we see in Chinese movies if not the masters doing the same thing.
It is interesting to note that Nietzsche was very hostile toward societies that relinquish their own great masters & substitute the masters of other nations. He called such societies sick and headed for destruction.
I must confess when I was younger, I took it upon myself to practice the Essene Gospel to the Max. I commenced a grape diet for 19 days and began high herbal enimas. My family was convinced I was nuts. I must say I have never felt better than the day I finished this process. It is a thorough cleansing, I must have cleaned out my very bone marrow. I was determined to find the earth mother. I have slacked up alot in this practice lately, perhaps it is time for another go. The people I work with are aware I do this from time to time. When I break out a bag of grapes at lunch there is alot of chuckling.
