Brigitte Vollmer-Schubert, ombudsman for woman's issues in the city of Hanover, said she was appalled that the restaurant used naked women as huge " platters " for the Japanese dish, dubbed " sushi ala Jungfrau (virgin). " But the restaurant owner was quoted by Bild newspaper as saying the dish had been a huge hit and the evening-long meal, costing up to $250 U.S. per person, was booked out for weeks in advance. The models, usually students in their 20s, wear nothing but see- through veils over their heads and a thin floral decoration between their legs. They are required to lay motionless on the table in the extra-warm room. The sushi is spread out over their bodies. Bodyguards dressed as samurai warriors make sure nothing gets out of hand. " The aren't entirely naked, " wrote Bild. " Caviar is stuffed into their belly buttons, swordfish sushi is stuck near their armpits and between their legs is raw tuna fish sushi awaiting the hungry guests. " " It's a great way to earn some pocket money, " a model named Kim told the newspapaer, saying she could earn up to $500 a night. " Reuters, October 9, 1998 " As the television panel discussion proceeded on some absurd sexual topic or another, the male host casually reached over and, uninvited, began massaging the breast of a female guest. On another show, viewers could watch women standing over air vents. Whenever anyone's skirt was blown over the waist, revealing her underwear, the camera zoomed in for a close-up, while the ubiquitous male hosts laughed uproariously. Switch the channel, and there were more crotch shots, this time of mini-skirted young girls sitting revealingly on small tricycles, much to the merriment of hooting spectators. Men, of course. Such scenes are regular fare on late-night television in Japan, filled with strange, low-IQ panel and games shows devoted entirely to sex. But the sex on Japanese TV is not healthy interaction between consenting adults. Rather, it more closely resembles something akin to a sophomoric male wet dream gone wild — such as leering looks at women's panties, women squeezing tubes of ketchup in their cleavages and female contestants asked to strip to their underwear for failing to hit a target. . . . " Dignity and civility. These words are disappearing, " said Akiko Yamanaka, one of the few women elected to Japan's national assembly, the Diet. " I feel a kind of shame when I see these programs on TV. Almost all the stations do the same thing. It's embarrassing. " . . . This is a country where uniformed Japanese schoolgirls find a ready market in middle-aged males willing to shower them with yen for a bit of their " time. " . . . Men in Tokyo think nothing of openly flipping through pornographic comic books while riding the subway, " Nipple candies " shaped like female breasts are sold over the counter and vending machines can be found dispensing panties used by teenagers.

The symbolic form of Kalki is on a white horse wielding a sword. The Name Kalki literally means " The Annihilator of Ignorance. " His Divine Mission is to close Kaliyuga, the Iron Age (one of 4 Yugas or time zones that mark the spiritual progression of mankind not the technical iron age), and usher in the Golden Age, a new period of peace prosperity and harmony. The current age Kaliyuga also called the age of darkness and ignorance. It is the most degenerate and fallen of the ages, characterized by a hardening of the spiritual core of mankind, an almost total lack of sacredness, and extreme materialism, as humans can no longer determine what is essential for living in this fallen age and what is irrelevant. The Antaryamin, or Indweller has been put to rest in the heart of mankind. Those of you with a New Age background may think of this Antaryamin as the Higher Self. An avatar is a being that comes to change the " truth " . Edison was an avatar of science. The Beatles were avatars of music. A Celestial Avatar has a definate Divine purpose. One can see how the Christ changed the " truth " just in the first 2 words of the Lord's Prayer: " Our Father " . In the Golden Age, in a gesture of Supreme Friendship, this Antaryamin, through an externally stimulated action awakens the heart. Many have already been having such Profound Divine Mystical Experience. This experience, this personal encounter with Divinity in one form or another (Moses and the Thorn Bush is a well known example of such experience) is the one common denominator in the lives of all Saints, Sages, Mystics, and Prophets. It is so important to the evolution of the consciousness of mankind, for it is belief (ignorance and speculation) that separates, while discovery unites. Just see for a moment the sufferings of the saints and discoverers throughout time. How the nature of belief (ignorance) is to destroy anything that will shed a light on it for what it truly is. Kalki's Divine Mission is to close Kaliyuga, the current age of darkness and ignorance and usher in the Golden Age, a new ten thousand year cycle of peace, prosperity and harmony. He is to liberate all of mankind from suffering and to bring enlightenment to all of mankind. This picture will be very meaningful to those of you in touch with the dawn of the Golden Age which is a shift in consciousness as well as an astrological occurrence. The advent of the Kalki Avatar is a necessary component in this phenomena. It is also interesting to note that in Siberia, there is a culture that closely mirrors that of Tibet. There is a ceremony where a statue of a horse is pulled through the streets. It is said that when harmony returns to mankind, Buddha will return riding the horse. The question is this: Will Buddha or the Christ return when harmony has returned to mankind? If so how can will this harmony happen? Previous interventions from the Kingdom of Heaven can be likened to putting a lump of fine gold in a glass of water. The gold remains gold, and the water remains water. The next incarnation, which is called the Sampoorna (total-meaning the incarnation of God or Supreme Consciousness on this planet) Avatar can be likened to putting a drop of yogurt in into a glass of warm milk. Soon all of the milk will be transformed into yogurt. Man cannot transform himself. He can become highly reformed however, in his practicing of concepts such as love, kindness, honesty, etc. But true transformation is a result of Mystical Experience. You might say that transformation is a benediction. Another look into the lives of the saints, prophets and mystics would reveal all. We are now in the throws of a mighty spiritual awakening, unprecedented in the history of human kind. People from all walks of life are walking and talking with God in a tangible form. Their hearts have truly flowered, and for them, Heaven has met Earth. They have entered the Golden Age which is a state of consciousness as well as an astrological event. Other would say that this is not possible. That the old calendars say that the Golden Age won't " be here " for thousands of years. Currently there is heated debate in India as some experts have claimed to have found errors in the ancient calendars. This puts the date of the Golden Age very close to the end of the Mayan calendar.

When thou hast passed from Self to being naught, gird up the loins of thy soul and set forth on the road, when thou standest up with loins girt thou hast placed a crown on thy soul's head. Set then the crown of the advance on the head of thy soul; let the foot that would retreat be the companion of the mire; though the thoughtless man laughs at this act, yet the wise chooses no other course. Whoso turns not his face towards God, all his knowledge and possessions deem thou an idol. Who turns away his face from God's presence, in truth I call not him a man; a dog is better than a worthless man who turns away his face, for a dog finds not its prey without a search. A dog that lives in ease, though it gets fat, is not therefore more useful than a greyhound. He will not take hypocrisy and deceit and lying, but looks to a man's belief in the Unity and his sincerity. The eye that is fixed on wisdom chooses the Truth; the pleasure-regarding eye sees not the Truth. False is what delights the eye; the Truth enters not among earthy thoughts. Infidelity and faith both have their origin in thy hypocritical heart; the path is long because thy foot delays: were it not so, the road to Him is but one step,--be a slave, and thou becomest a king with Him. Know that the different names of the colours are illusory, that thy sustenance is to be sought in the river of the Absolute. Leave off thy talk, and come to the pavilion; loose thy heavy bonds from off thyself. Perhaps thou hast not tasted the true faith, hast not seen the face of truth and sincerity; so that thou thoughtest the mystery was plain to be seen, and things thou sawest plainly have been mysteries to thee. I see in thee no rightness of belief; if there were I would be the true dawn of religion to thee;--I would have made the path of the true faith plain to thee hadst thou not been a fool and a madman. http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/egt/egt25.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
