But exhausting. > " Take all obstacles as the path " . Namaste Joyce, No point in being angry at the monkey-people, although we all do. I remember when was on an ashram in India, I would go out to buy banananas and a crippled macaque would run up break the plastic bag. and steal one or two. So I was doing his shopping for him. We only get angry at the news, as they aren't doing what we expect so our projected ego is offended so to speak. That's why I talk about facts on the ground today, with regard to the Israeli-Hamas problem. If somebody fires a rocket then expect a response that's it. Hezbullah in the north is jealous of Hamas so they sent in a few today as well. It all boils down to religion----that is the main problem. We need an alternative to it. Everything is about one-pointedness anyway and realising we have to get out of here so to speak...But one cannot really calm the mind indefinately only rise above it..........Cheers Tony. If God made the world let him take care of it...ahahah --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If experience wasn't necessary we wouldn't be here. Awareness tied in a very simple but innacurate way to IQ. Obama and Bush both have IQ in the 125 range, kind of the upper college kids range. However those with a high IQ apparently are forced to improve their awareness by their experiences and observation...jnana I suppose...........Cheers Tony./ --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact there was one project going on where they were creating 'white' people. Possibly because the races were all almost wiped off the planet and consequently we have a 'white' race which is n't the same as the original but a form in the negative lacking pigment etc etc..........The original Adamics were brown, 'white', yellow, black and 'red'. Mainly concentrating on one major sense at a time, hence the colour difference. However there were hominids and mixtures in numbers far outweighing the adamis. Check Genesis, and the Bhagavata Purana for references and hinted memories of this time, not forgetting the Ramayana and tales of dwarfs and giants on the world.. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
