"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." You are really good at this! Now that you are exalted you better humble yourself again! It does seem kind of strange that the reward of humility should be the very thing that was condemned! I think the idea is that he who accepts that he has faults and is mindful of his own shortcomings, will find a reward while a person who is mindful only of the sins of others will never find the peace of understanding. perhaps I can explain another way.....In order to change and become accepting of any Spiritual Path, one first must accept the need for change the reality that one is not walking the path that one aspires to. If a person is busy feeling like he or she has found the path and knows what is right for other people, it is not possible to accept and understand your own problems, so that change is impossible, as is enlightenment of any sort. But look at it this way: Don't touch women here on Earth. That is adultery. In heaven your wife will not be there. But 72 VIRGINS are in heaven waiting for you! After that they are (I guess)...throw-a-ways. No, I think the word you lack is Wives...... Imagine 72 wives....... Ohhhh the Alimony Moses kept the virgins for their "own use"--and he saw God's "hind parts". The bible is so swift that it forces one to study endlessly over it. This is unfortunately true of any book that one considers Holy.... I read Atlas Shrugged 15 times so far.....
