In the mean time... you look at any major religon today and all formally teach peace, some compassion, loving kindness, some not even to kill other animals or bugs.... some teachings are downright scientific... allllllllllll kinds: “Religions are different roads converging upon the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads so long as we reach the same goal?” - Mahatma Ghandi * The difference between the Feeling Function and Emotions can be understood more clearly. The Feeling Function is a cortical capacity to recognize the presence or absence of harmony – between colors, tones, or human beings. By contrast, emotions are a limbic capacity to experience delight, anger, fear, grief. “In Zarathustra’s philosophy, everybody has the liberty to choose the right way, out of his/her good reflection and since human wisdom is more related to good reflection, thus the followers of Zoroastrianism should precede by each other to the propagation of science and education. In this manner, Zoroastrianism becomes the forerunner of knowledge and enlightenment.” - Dr. Bahram Varza “One may conquer a million men in a single battle; However, the greatest and best warrior Conquers himself.” - The Dhammapada (The Path of Truth) translated by Ananda Maitreya “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.” If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich. If you stay in the center and embrace death with your whole heart, you will endure forever.” - Lao-tzu , Tao-te ching “The Book of the Way and Its Power” Jesus said, "If you bring forth what is within you, what you have will save you. If you do not have that within you, what you do not have within you [will] kill you." “Do not despise the world, for the world too is God.” “Whoever knows himself knows God.” – Muhammad Yea, kill everyone... yea... right. More likely 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. DAK
