Would a man who traded his soul for the world worry about what it gained him? There is no gain. No price. You have given your soul for the world. If all the world needed to survive was your soul and you could give it, would you not?

I work with a dude that is about a devout a Buddhist as they get. I call him the Bad Ass Buddha. I could go to just so many football games down in Mississippi , and meetjust so many "Bad Ass " Christians too... See? There you are , my "Muse" has returned , though I felt I was not lacking it earlier. OM. ;-) I find it comforting to know that I do not have to live like Gandhi in order to receive a reward. Why is it so hard to imagine living like Gandhi? It has been said over and over that the real rewards are non-material , and salvation comes from the renunciation of pride and arrogance ...and focus on the things of God ...well? I am just trying to help here ... As for fundamentalist science or fundamentalist religion they are both fairly useless ....especially with out the other two main living and vital branches and expressions of the human soul ---->Art & Philosophy. (and the Muse!) The first two are blind without the last . My Muse never left...God is a cosmic "Dancer", the rest is for you to find . When someone tells me that only thru Jesus Christ their Lord I will be "saved from decay", I smile gently usually and just move on . The world has grown beyond such dogmas and knows more of itself now than before . Though Jerry Falwells and Pat Robertsons should be always watched and counterbalanced with equal amounts of true enlightenment.<g> ;-) PS: again , thanks for posting the other "stuff" .
