Jane: I do not accept one basket of mystics for another basket of mystics -- or the mystics of muscle, the Atillas. You are defunct. You parrot a dead philosophy promoted by a crazed, but well-meaning mystic who learned his mystical lessons well by roaming a wasteland, following traditions and breaking with tradition by introducing more mystical claptrap which he picked up through spiritual osmosis in the foothills of the Himalyas. That it still exists at all is only a testament to the inertia of the many individuals that would rather have someone else tell them what to do and think instead of reasoning it out for themselves. In the vernacular -- Get a Job. Father Terrence

"Why don't you just refer them all to the Lucis Trust, and the writings of Madame Blavatsky, and all those like Bishop Pike who actually just say that they despise the sight and sound of Jesus Christ, the enemy of satan, and when Lucifer soon claims the earth as his own, we will all be like god, and "God" will be, what, banished? Satan will bring him in a kill him? Something. Oh, that's right. They, the incredible network of New Age megabuck institutions, societies, interwoven all, haven't quite worked that out yet. " Jane, Jane, JANE. The pharmaceutical companies have come a long way in their treatment of paranoids. I highly recommend you see a qualified physician and get yourself a prescription. One hardly needs to have heard of any of the people you mention (whoever they are) or to be a new ager, to agree in part with Father T. I am the gentlest and kindest of agnostics. I allow for beliefs of all stripes as long as those beliefs DO NOT INJURE others. I have found Jesus, as described in the Bible, to be quite a gentle, tolerant, and inspirational figure with a few quirks I disagree with, but for the most part, a good role model. Christians would do well to emulate him. HE would be the first to go to the aids wards and embrace the sick and dying. If you are trying to scare people away from Christianity please continue with what you are doing. If, however, you are trying to spread the gospel I suggest you remember that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar (or nuts).

Share! Spread the Ancient Mystery. Don't just tease. People hate being teased with hints of more to follow. They want to know now! Bingo! Indeed they do. And since you appear to know a great deal more about said "Ancient Mystery" than anyone else on this thread, why not enlighten us?

jane. The Tunati have records going back several ice ages. We have proof that your religious figure Jesus was not homosexual. He was not heterosexual, or even vegisexual. He had a documented fish fetish. Ichthyerotic, he was. He cared little for the fissures of men. Now he has left their souls to flounder and ask if there really is a Cod, or if it all was just a fluke. A final admonition from the endless grace of Those whose Fins Sweep the Cosmos. You might want to capitalize the name of our old bud Satan. The one who brought us our highest sacrament: Tartar Sauce. (His sister, Satay, is more suited to ...chickens. Fowl beasts.) Show some respect - because you don't want him Pisced off. <GULP> (pvt PS to Kal: fraid so.)
