Hi Anna, In my Bible when I was sudying as a reasonably young person, the saying was 'Don't throw pearls before swine'. ECKANKAR teaches detachment to the things of this Earth plane because it is not the reality.!!! We are Soul and the pure spiritual planes are the reality. The physical plane has been created to allow Soul the opportunity to have experiences that would not be available in the spiritual planes. Another example of how cults brainwash people into being smug, insensitive and callous. It's very easy to harden yourself to the suffering of others. But it's anything BUT spiritually enlightened to be like that. Hi Big Lin, You are slow to learn by the looks of it, you are allowing yourself to be consumed by hate and that is not of God. Besides that, you are masochistic to boot. You must hate yourself.!!! When a person turns over a new leaf there should be no vestige of guilt left. A person can't undo what they have done in the past, but it seems that you are still hanging on to the guilt of the past. You don't seem to be a very happy person at the present time, if ever? You really have the choice to make each new day a happy one, but for some reason you are choosing to make it a sad time. WHY?

Even now you don't have the faintest idea of how insufferably disrespectful your attitudes are to my murdered relatives and the millions of other victims of the Holocaust. Your cosy idea that they all got reincarnated and that we should just forget about the past is no more than a theory. I know we all have lessons to learn in life; perhaps it's about time you started. All I know is that people who care show empathy; they DON'T patronise the suffering of others or regard it as being unimportant. You sound like Jean-Marie Le Pen who described the Holocaust as 'a detail in history.' I'm sure that's not your intention but that's how it comes across; callous, unfeeling and insensitive. Hi Big Lin, everything is important as it is happening because we need to learn.. The Holocaust was indeed shameful, but at the same time you shouldn't have to live the grief of thst horrible event year after year as if it had only happened yesterday. It is past.!!! And it should stay in the past. When we awake in the morning, each day is new, and a fresh start for everyone, we should be looking forward to the happiest day possible. IMO.

Hi Big Lin, I think it is time that you started showing some respect towards another person's religious denomination. ECKANKAR is a bona fide religion, and therefore is not a cult. No one is being brainwashed. The experiences that I have had since young, and long before I ever heard of ECKANKAR, is what gives me my belief. People of like mind will eventually find each other and therefore form a group. As it is spiritual, ofcourse they have every right to become a religion, just as what has happened to those who believe in Christ. We believe in God and naturally follow and listen to the Holy Spirit,so please mind your manners. I think it's time you started showing some respect for the victims of genocide. Hi Big Lin, I have nothing BUT respect for SOUL bacause we are a spark of God sent to this physical dimension in order to have experiences. I count it as a blessing. A person gains an attitude towards life according to what they believe to be true. I happen to see the bright side of life, no matter what happens. I know without a doubt, that whatever happens in my life I deserve it. It says quite plainly in the Bible that we reap what we sow and God is not a liar, so it WILL happen.!!!

Maybe you're reaping my irritation because you're sowing the seeds of disrespect, indifference and smugness. Perhaps you need to try some self-criticism and empathy. Why don't you ask yourself - why ARE people who are victims of murder or whose relatives were ANGRY and OFFENDED when someone tries to tell them it doesn't matter? To hell with 'respect for soul' - that means NOTHING when a human being has been murdered. If you can't show sensitivity and compassion towards PEOPLE, as Jesus said, how can you love God whom you have NOT seen?

Hi Big Lin, It seems that you are going through life with a big chip on your shoulder, and seemingly loving every moment of the experience. I'm not the one that is spouting HATE. As I said before, the dead have no need for your crocodile tears. The only thing that changes is your ability to cope with life. As far as I am concerned, you are wasting precious time when you could be a happy person, instead of wallowing in self pity as you are obviously doing. I thought I could help in bringing you to your senses, but you are too far gone. Satan is very pleased with the outcome, you are an exemplary pupil.

Hi Big Lin, I am not indifferent to people's suffereing, but when it is self inflicted and unnecessary then that is something else. Some people live in a sea of emotion, to the detriment of themselves and those closest to them. It doesnt't change a thing. Your unhappiness cannot bring the dead back, so why are you allowing it to happen?

It is certainly taking you a long time to see the light. You know ofcourse, that by YOUR understanding,you are now blaspheming Soul.!!! Hasn't it penetrated yet that when you and your lovedones die, that is exactly what you will be. It seems when your anger gets the better of you, you lose your memory as well as your commonsense. I don't let anger creep into my life that is the problem that is the cause of all the mayhem in life today, uncontroled anger, which is the same as being over emotional. We just can't do as we please, there has to be some restraint. Don't you think? You are apparently all for letting it all hang out, are you ever going to change?

To anyone who is interested? A cool, calm demeanor is much pleasanter to witness than to look upon someone who has lost it. I couldn't be around that kind of person for any lenghth of time. It would be too much for me.!!! When a person loses their temper, all commonsense goes out the window and anything is liable to happen. This is my sincere viewpoint for today. May the Blessings Be.!!!

Smug, self-satisfied people who are indifferent to human suffering and treat it with contempt are an offence in the eyes of God.
You know, Scottish Lassie, if you were a volunteer for the Samaritans the suicide rate would skyrocket.
You have all the sensitivity of a wounded water-buffalo.
You have NO empathy with other people and are incapable of showing affection or sympathy towards them.
When you suggested that the victims of Nazi mass murder were guilty of 'self-inflicted and unnecessary' suffering I had to re-read it three times to believe my eyes.
So the Jews were to blame for being Jewish? The Roma for being gypsies?
After a comment like that the idea that you are in any shape or form spiritually enlightened rather than totally spiritually warped is a lost cause.
You are on the side of the enemies of life and that is the sin against the Holy Spirit.

Your sadness over the continued memory of those who lost their lives in the Holocaust is self inflicted you apparently love to wallow in self inflicted misery. These negative vibes are emanating from your mind affecting those in close proximity, which ofcourse is your own family. I wouldn't want to be around you as I am very sensitive to the vibes that some people give off. I'm only trying to inform you of circumstances of which you are evidently unaware. I'm not the one that is spouting words of hate. I just feel so sorry that in your ignorance you find it necessary to think such negative thoughts when it really doesn't change what happened in the past. As far as I am concerned wasting precious time on negative thoughts and emotions of events long gone so cannot be altered, IS superflous.!!!

Every person is important, and I do feel pity for all people who suffer, even though according to the Bible, you reap what you sow, so have actually brought it on themselves. I didn't make up that rule, I just happen to believe that it is true. I won't be replying to anymore of your posts, because you are misconstruing what I am saying and being very hateful as well.!!! Satan is doubled up with laughter as you have fallen into his trap so willingly even though I warned you earlier. It is people who hate that does the will of Satan and those who put the vices into action. I will leave you to name the ones that you are demonstrating via your posts.

It is people who hate that does the will of Satan and those who put the vices into action. I will leave you to name the ones that you are demonstrating via your posts. Socrates heard that the Delphi Oracle declared that he was the wisest man in Greece. He immediately declared that it couldn't possibly be true so he went around Greece interviewing lots of other wise people. Then he returned to Athens and said: 'Well, I'm surprised. Those other wise men only THINK that they know everything while I KNOW that I know nothing.' Maybe you should take that to heart. You seem utterly convinced that you can never be wrong and that your opinion has the same status as a fact. I find it terribly sad that you lack empathy with others and that you regard genocide in the same way as Jean-Marie Le Pen who described the Holocaust as 'a detail in human history.' Frankly, any religion that can't find a place for compassion lacks the spirit of God. And, as John Stuart Mill said, 'I will call no being good to whom I cannot apply the same word to one of my fellow human beings. If such a being can sentence me to hell for not believing in him, to hell I will go.'

It wasn't meant as a compliment. I forgot you're too bigoted to have been a lesbian in a past life Hi Gibby, You have got me all wrong.!!! I care about people, so I will always care about a person's best interests as well as my own. I have nothing against lesbians, I'm sure that a person can't help who they fall in love with. It is a shame that they can't be allowed to have some happiness in life because it is not lawful. If I had been a lesbian in a past life then that would be the case now, and my life would be different. I fall in love with men not women.. I may admire a woman, but they don't attract me in a sexual way.

Hi Big Lin, I don't think you are ever going to understand what I am meaning. You certainly don't know how I feel or you wouldn't be posting so many insinuations, which are not in the least bit true.!!!
Dwelling on the past and allowing it to affect you in a negative way, is pretty stupid in my opinion. Not because I have no empathy for others, but because the past is gone and nothing will ever change that.!!!
Life is too precious to be thinking back on any unhappy time especially when it make you sad. Some people hang onto unhappy events in the past for so long, that they become ill. A person doesn't become ill because they are thinking happy thoughts. Are you EVER happy?
A person should be living life like it was the happiest day of their life, as one never knows what is just around the corner. I don't like thinking of unhappy times so I keep a cheerful frame of mind. I have always been a person who looks on the bright side of life as it is so beneficial for good health. Try it sometime.!!!

You are on the side of the enemies of life and that is the sin against the Holy Spirit. Hi Big Lin, the insults that you send my way, I don't accept as they are too ludicrous for words. The words that you think up are manufactured in your head and will stay there, as I haven't accepted them. It is written somewhere in the Bible that you will be judged on your thoughts as well as your deeds, and besides that, every word that you think and every word that you utter you are saying it to Jesus. That's how much respect you are showing towards Jesus. Not the best behaviour for sure.!!!And talking about insensitivity, you take the cake.You couldn't care less about anybody BUT yourself.!!! I am so sesitive to how another person feels that I can pick up what they are thinking by the thought vibrations that they are emanating. When I walk into a room I can tell if the person who lives there is negative on a regular basis or is positive in their outlook. Negatiivity makes the surrounding atmosphere heavy and positivity makes it light. That is the ability known as the gifts of the Spirit which is given to people who are speritual, it cannot be faked. I have stood beside a person who I knew was thinking thoughts that were detrimental to my wellbeing. I carried on speaking with this person with no retaliation of any kind.and all because I care about people so would do nothing to harm them deliberately.
