jacob you are a treat-

rabbi- im sorry i waited so long to read your thoughts-
it is always an edifying experience-
i love that cosmic-centricity

outstanding!

Jacob - I don't know about your politics but
your metaphysics probably has much truth to it.

Congratulations!!

That's because nobody really believes the Invisible Man stuff anymore, it's all just
revenue enhancer sales pitch for Jesus, Inc.,
Jehovah, Inc., and Allah, Inc., all wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Abraham, Int'l. That's right,
it's a global propaganda factory.

I had a spiritual experience, once, I spilled this
bottle of Vodka, and it evaporated into thin air.
I was mystified by this, and was about to attribute it to Divine Intervention, when I suddenly remembered science class, where they talked about evaporation and the 3 states of
matter etc. Now, I understand that it's mind over
matter, I don't mind, so it don't matter, and I kind of question the time I'm wasting on responding to this thing, but I'll keep on blathering on in the interest of equal time.
So, how's things at the Jesus shop, there?
Getting any good donations lately, got the Lexus
paid off, yet? What's your take on the Catholics
trying to screw with US border and immigration
policy? Are they over the line, or doing God's work? Also, I read that you have a carrier wave
in radio, and then you talk on it, and it
modulates the signal. What kind of propaganda
will they be broadcasting THIS week on JesusChannel? Will it be another James Dobson telethon, or the old Pat Robertson true believer shakedown special? I'm for seeing all you guys
audited, and probably most put out of business,
because I believe there's no accountability
for the monies that you take in, kind of like
the Pentagon, but without the rockets and stuff.
Anyway, on that note, I think I hear the Spirit
calling me again, time to mix up another
screwdriver and become One with a higher power!

Jacob Josevz, et al - at least one of your personalities is a pretty impressive typist...your feats in that category are beyond duplication, wherever you may be posting.

However, much like the Dalai Lama, you require an interpreter to get the message out ... may I suggest one of the non-typing personalities?

As to your choice of Mitt Romney, now that is truly a conundrum - good luck with your candidate.
Do you know something about Mitt that the rest of us don't know??

all the best.....

(Almost) All religions have the same basic message of love, but they all differ in some way. Some (www.osreligion.com) try to find the common ground in all religions. I think this is one of the best ways to discover the current moral standing of humanity.

Basically, I agree: At their core, all religions are very similar -- they are all institutionalization of differing faiths. As such, religions are mostly fossilized, hence, traditions, rites, rituals, etc., are central to their concern. When these "appurtenances" differ, conflict among them (religions) arise. One does not eat pork, another consider the4 cow sacred, yet another genuflect before a criss-crossed wood, etc.

It is faith that matters, actually. Even faith in there being no one to be faithful to.

People should look into the Baha'i faith that, for the most part, draws on the unity of the worlds major "revealed" prophets (Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Mohammad, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, etc.). Is there any other faith that has a principle of unity as strongly and explicitly stated as does the Baha'i faith? As a "seeker" myself, I feel a strong affinity to the beliefs of the Baha'i, although they still focus a lot on God and their guy (Bahu'allah). Still their overall focus is on community, at the global and local level, peace and harmony, and service to others. The Baha'i people of the world tend to be well-educated, a-political (non-partisan), and skilled at building houses and gardens. These principles and tendencies tend to point toward love, Dalai Lama.

Gaby: OK.. I [[[will[[[ GIVETH his postethes more Time(tick-TOCK);;;. :)

Hi Jacob, how've you been?

Is it time for a brewski yet?

Jay I, Jacob's OK. It just takes tome to decipher his style.

Good point, Gaby.

Jacob: HUH?

Dear Rabbi Kula,

You wrote: "Maps used with teachers, like the Dalai Lama, who are more developed than we are (meaning they clearly possess greater wisdom and compassion) and maps used while regularly and honestly asking ourselves whether the map we are using is indeed helping us become more wise and compassionate, can indeed make any religion a powerful carrier of a message and method of love, compassion and forgiveness."

I agree, but likewise I would say that a sound secular moral code would accomplish the same. As a non-religious (but spiritual) person, I tend to feel talked down to by religionists who claim to have higher moral standards than I by virtue of their faiths.

As much as I respect and admire the Dalai Lama, ultimately persons have to decide for themselves which path is the right one for them and organized religion of any sort does not work for everyone. That does not make us any less loving, compassionate or forgiving.
