Very interesting , and that feeling is a good one .
If it wasn't too late , I could write just how that
fits in with the theology of Saivite Hinduism
as well , which if Christians actually knew the depth
and subtlety of the Hindu's true beliefs, they
would simply be filled with
an amazing grace.<g>

It is a process we go thru , and fathom more . Not
a waiting for "judgement" , or sitting in a car wash
called Limbo . We are meant to distinguish ourelves
thru action and deeds , and by developed use
of higher functions . Not necessarily extinguish .
But our nature is a layered
one , and there is where the mystery begins.

It is an exciting thing to live so that you become less
ignorant of the truth of your own existence, and dare
to know more.

Look around at the world and the universe...surely we
are part of something extremely
rare and beautiful , and something deep
within tells us all that
this is so .

Know thyself , is one of the universal prescriptions,
and the Hindu sees God/SIVA at center waiting just behind
the veil always . Not enough time here to describe
that in any depth.

AS an aside , I always like the way the history writer
Will Durant said goodbye to his wife ,
when he was dying :

Grow strong , my comrade...that you may stand
Unshaken when I fall; that I may know
The shattered fragments of my song will
At last come to a finer melody in you;
That I may tell my heart, that you begin
Where passing I leave off...and fathom more.


we are all agnostics looking to fathom more ....

...it is delightfully convenient for some to believe
that some are saved , and others are not...
but that is not the way
a resplendant, all loving Creator,
filled with Pure Conciousness and
Absolute Reality , set things
up. The old Sages tell us so...
