Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 In fact I was not referring to the demi-god yahweh to whom mr. gopal refers here, i was making a broader reference to " the darkness on the face of the deep " at the beginning of creation or the immutable power of creation the precreation forces of Ma. I was not making a monotheistic patriarchal reference to the bible.
