body/mind organism. Without the real I, there is nothing at all.

L.E: So in this mixed up mess, we have Chakras, Kundalini, Samsar, and

rebirth.

Such mysteries as the vaccumb of the field of energy. Some people can talk

that stuff, parade their concepts and think they are saying something.

L.E: Now we have three entities. The witness, oneself and the divine, and

making that hamburger for the next twenty years.

We are all children of Light,

Some innocent, and others, bright

Lost and confused at our own time

Been haunted by intelligents of men

Some were hurt, others burned into flames

Due to words or languages invented by men

Lost and wounded for the sake of forms or names?

May love and peace be with those who are victims of the intellects

 

" Understanding is all needed! " , Maharaj

Victim of the intelligents
