Karma...

[cortez]

'The truth of the Buddha's understanding of the processes of kamma-as informed by this/that conditionality, dependent co-arising, and the four noble truths-was proven by the knowledge of Unbinding that followed immediately on his mastery of the fourth type of kamma.He found that when skillfulness is intentionally brought to a point of full consummation, as expressed in the direct awareness of this/that conditionality, it leads to a state of non-action, or non-fashioning, that forms the threshold to a level of consciousness in which all experience of the cosmos has fallen away. When one's experience of the cosmos resumes after the experience of Awakening, one sees clearly that it is composed entirely of the results of old kamma; with no new kamma being added to the prcess, all experience of the cosmos will eventually run out-or, in the words of the texts "will grow cold right here" ' The Wings to Awakening, I. Basic Principles B. Kamma -Thanissaro Bhikku

threads like this are what worry me about SHTF. if the .00000001% of people that realize what's going on can't even get along, then we are fucked.

I used to argue with my Father back in the 70's about Corporatism long before I knew of Mussolini's connection to Corporatism with Fascism.
He loved, absolutely LOVED his Corporate affiliations. According to the mind set of the post WW2 50's was that the "green revolution" was feeding and therefore saving the world. My contention was that it was destroying the world.

I dearly loved my Father, but we argued. And I'm grateful that we were able to argue, yet still respect one another.

If we aren't able to argue with one another, with respect, then we truly are fucked.

I do think though, our petty differences will disappear in a true crisis situation. For the most part, the .0001% are the like-minded type, and good people who see what's really going on..and how we got here. People will come together. Good people find each other when challenges are are met.

I think it depends whether or not they come together as people, or with monikers placed above their heads like Christian, Western European and the like.

Anytime they place a label on themselves heads start to roll.

Afterall that's the only thing that is being "defended" in this thread, a bumpersticker for the forehead.

You have a bumper sticker on your forehead that says "Book"? lol
After all, you were certainly defending him.
...and what happened to your "self imposed ban" Gaillo said you were on?

[Horn]

And as I defended you from him at one point, yes.

But since then you've taken the troll label they have branded you with.

[Horn]

Some will argue that a nameless & "labeless" crowd is what the jew wants to conquer,

I can only suggest its a matter of cycles that they control.

If I were in their shoes a nameless crowd right about now would have me running towards Adam.

Do you think we should refrain from discussing "karma" because it basically represents an early occult Pagan non Christian belief structure?

If you believe its ok to discuss "karma," then why not discuss other early Pagan non Christian religious cosmologies, such as Pythagoreanism, for example?

Why should that or many other supposed occult subjects be made taboo... today...in this cyber information culture?

The word, "occult" means hidden knowledge. Becoming well read and sharing information is the antidote to hidden knowledge.
Attempting to stifle certain others from reading and viewing any information at all is exactly what occult means. It means to control through limiting access to information.

The reason we're a flock of sheep at the mercy of an elite to begin with, is that they've always managed to control the information we have access to. At least until now.

And finally, I don't like or appreciate anyone attempting to prevent me from reading, studying, or discussing anything at all and Magnes or anyone else can kiss my ass if they try to limit the information I care to read, view or share on a forum.

Controlling information, and therefore controlling knowledge is THE
PRIMARY OCCULT PRACTICE in the world today.

Santa when someone verbaly smacks chritianity around then presents something non christian are they discussing or promoting? Looks like promoting an alternative to christianity to me.

Magnes appears to have gotten tired of it and he spoke up about it. He told you and others exactly what he thinks, how he feels and the reasons why.

I don't really think Magnes was trying to shut you up he was pointing out what you and others seem to be doing and like any real man he'd like to kick your asses.

I guess what "others seem to be doing" came between his suggestions of carrying a double headed Eagle flag into battle,

I may have missed it.

I've never seen bashing of Christians here, only people noting their vicarage towards Jerusalem.

My guess is they bash themselves quite a bit enough "as they do" after digesting the info..

Some may think or take, that if any other belief system other than Christianity is discussed about their merits and comparing those other beliefs to Christianity. Is an attack on Christianity.

There are some that are very intolerant in their thinking that it is ether their way or no way.

Some fail to understand there are other religions and belief systems in the world that are light years older than the one god Christianity belief.

It is believed that Hinduism is the oldest by + 6500-4600 + years young. There is nothing wrong in comparing the different belief systems/religions on their merits or shortcomings.

Just saying IMHO

Magnes wanted to kick some asses and verbaly he did just that. He won
