With your derogatory remarks about someone you do not know in the slightest, it is clear that your "experience" is worthless in terms of soul maturation and true enlightenment.<br /><br />Contrary to your erroneous and insulting remarks, I have experienced numerous things in the many years I have been alive on this planet - most likely much more than you, in fact.<br /><br />Moreover, your experiences certainly do not prove the truth of the Bible in any way, shape or form. Plenty of people have such mystical experiences with their own religions, including many Hindu people having visions of their various gods. I guess their experiences "prove" the veracity of their Hindu holy scriptures and their gods. <br /><br />Thousands of years ago, Egyptian religionists - of whom there were many hundreds of millions, quite a few of whom were undoubtedly just as pious you believe yourself to be - had experiences with the gods Osiris and Isis, among others. They believed they were visited by their gods and that they knew what the Egyptian afterlife was, so much so that they portrayed "heaven" in massive HOLY TEXTS that are every bit as valid - if not more so - than you believe the Bible to be.<br /><br />This "appeal to mystical experience" fallacy has been addressed many times in the past. Insults and superficial retorts will not nullify the fact that it is a logical fallacy.<br /><br />What you have displayed throughout your post is a nearly complete ignorance of history and the world's cultures. And THAT'S what your bibliolatry has done to you, as well as to encourage you to come to my blog and sling insults at me. <br /><br />Thank you for exemplifying why Christianity has been harmful to the human mind. It obviously makes people nasty, conceited and insulting.Acharya Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091289754963053674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-68118902421900339762009-09-26T12:54:41.309-05:002009-09-26T12:54:41.309-05:00Sorry to burst your bubble, Anthony, but it's ...Sorry to burst your bubble, Anthony, but it's called EUPHORIA.

I do not claim to be a scholar of anything. I do know; however, you cannot argue logically with a person who has an experience. I have been an ardent student of the KJV of the Holy Bible and have seen and experienced thousands of scriptural "truths" to be, well, true. The best way to test any scripture is to put it to the test and see if what the passage says actually manifests itself or comes to pass. I have personally read of casting out demonic spirits in the Christian Bible and have personally been involved in casting out demonic spirits just like the scriptures instructs us. The same goes for reading about people being healed and, praying the prayer of faith and watching people healed...some, raised from the dead after being certified as dead by medical personnel. In addition, I have personally received the infilling of the Holy Spirit as outlined in the book of Acts. So, to me, I have read the scripture, put it to the test, and have been actively engaged in the Word of God becoming TRUTH. I am sorry that so many professed Christians 1) have not read the bible in the proper manner, 2) refused to believe the words, 3) exercise true FAITH, as given by God to every man, and 4) experience signs, wonders, and miracles throughout their entire life. Please do not discount something you have not completely tried, proven, and hold as true. I have seen too much, felt too much, experienced too much of the Holy Bible's declarations to allow an unbelieving, inexperienced "scholar" to take away my personal, verified, qualified experiences. God bless you and I trust you will allow yourselves to believe the Christian Bible for what it says and prove it in your life. Without faith...it is impossible to please God...<br />Thanks for reading...I look forward to your replies, if any.<br />Anthony (at agjudene@aol.com).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-84881509295483984062009-03-21T11:54:00.000-05:002009-03-21T11:54:00.000-05:00Scriptures translated from one language to the nex...Scriptures translated from one language to the next can loose much of the intended meaning.

Are its writers returning, to speak to us now as though they were queer and outcasts, but who in their day suffered all variety of calumnies and usurpations of their souls (which pain goes contrary to the modern historical lie, which springs invariably from the lies of Marxist materialism), and who even in their own day searched for the reason for existence, and could find none except for reason alone, and who by reason alone can again become the required and estranged, giver of our laws? And can this odd stranger now amongst us be somehow unstrung from his originating idea, which was amply set forth in the Declaration of Independence? And might not that have been called our Declaration of Independence and Sovereignty -- were it not that the origins of sovereignty are to be found only in the powers of harmonics and choice (re-read that), which by predestination, as God’s first act of creation and love, were deeply implanted in the natural substrates of each individual and powerfully creative human mind? Can that originating idea of this stranger amongst us, that a government might be instituted amongst MEN, who are men because they recognize the harmonics of their duty to love and protect women and children, who because of their affinity for poetry and music have brain organs knowably worth protecting, wherein a nation might be born where “live, liberty, and choice” are openly defended as natural rights of man? Have we, as men, by our cowardly and sullen usurpations, fallen so low that we cannot see the Unconstitutional and Unharmonic wounds that are now inflicted on the souls of our women and children, but on the souls of these strangers amongst us? Are wounds of injustice, which steal happiness from the harmonics of the whole to remain forever unresolved, as with the slave trade, and its successor racism today -- do not the woundings of the human soul, and there is only one, begin with an unlawful restraint somewhere, on the desire of each of us to be harmonically fulfilled by our choices, which the Philadelphia fathers expressed as “pursuit of happiness?” And what is pursuit of happiness other than the right to make choices that augment the multitude of harmonic congruencies and similitudes in the entirety of the Universe, which were long ago implanted in the mind of man, as the replication child of our Creator?<BR/><BR/>I have drifted from Constitution to Choice, with happiness as an expression of harmonics and reason, for a reason.<BR/><BR/>Is it not the case, that democracy is nothing other than a form of surrender -- as if defeated in a war, we surrender reason, to a vague collage of lies that daily spew out from the main, and unaccountable, heads of today’s “talking stream media?” Might there not be an alterative to usurpations of political harmonics and reason, otherwise known as surrender of choice to a “Media-controlled Democracy?” Did not our estranged forefathers, now returning as if to be amongst us, foresee the inherent danger of surrender of choice, and of political reason, to the hollow collage of lies by enemy propaganda artists?<BR/><BR/>As strangers amongst us, our founding fathers gave us an alternative to the collage of media lies that is now destroying us, and they put it in writing, right in our Constitution, and yet we are still too blind to see it. Might it not be that to restore our Constitution, as the stranger amongst us, the main-stream ideas that we have lived by, of Democracy by surrender to Mass Media, and the bizarro-world Choices “it” makes for us, we have to turn over still deeper soil?<BR/><BR/>An Elector is someone who is himself, or herself, also elected. But that is where the similarity ends, and the beginning of reason and sound choice begins. Because the idea of an Elector is so strange to us, permit me to first run through a few basics. Before your parents were married, let us say that your father, then a bachelor, said his name was “Mr. Smith,” for example. Then, after your parents were married, and had given birth to you and were raising you as a child, he may have used the same name for himself -- but that name referred to an entirely different person, because he is wearing a completely different hat, if you will. After your father was married, every thought that he entertained (while he was healthy) simply had to include the consequence of his choices on his wife and his children -- in a society not distrained from the natural rights of man, he would have been too fulfilled by the obligations of his family to have excluded them.<BR/><BR/>Let us say that we are all very busy making magic wooden horses, or wondrous mechanical fishes, or whatever. As we get together and start talking about politics, we soon realize how ignorant we are. We are all too busy with our families and our day-by-day economics, to exercise due diligence and do competent and faithful investigations into the backgrounds and potentials of the candidates who are offering to be our future representatives and leaders. But the time was when, that we were cautious enough to realize that anybody who shows up on our doorstep (or in our living room) uninvited, and anoints himself as “faithful political investigator” or even as our “trustworthy elector,” who was never elected by us, is both incompetent per se, and untrustworthy per se. He sees himself not as the stranger amongst us, but rather as the stranger apart from us.<BR/><BR/>So, hypothetically speaking, we get together and ask ourselves, is there anyone amongst us, who knows about these things, and who is in contact with lost of people, and knows about advancements in science. Let us say that we identify the host of this board, to be our Elector, because she has a general reputation of being reasonable and trustworthy. If Acharya S agrees, then much like your father in the example above, though Acharya S may still use the same name, she has changed -- now her brain organ is burdened by the higher question, which candidate will be the best for the nation? In short, as Elector, she has to put on her hat of higher reason, that is of reason higher that her own so-called “self interest.” (In a real world example, we would also know where she worked, where she lived, where her children went to school, etc. etc. And, we would give her a small budget, to travel, and to make proper investigations, for us as our agent, and we would give her time to organize a forum, called a college, wherein she could in a collegial way, discuss her findings with Electors chosen by other districts. During the deliberations of this college of Electors, there would be discussion and arguments, and voting, as juries do, to find the best candidate. Notwithstanding that there might even some name calling and some fist fighting, reason, there would still be the possibility of reason, rather than self-interest, carrying the day. This collegial forum of Electors, is known as the Electoral College. If the various districts were to choose Acharya S-type personalities as our Electors, and she were to participate as best she could in her political deliberations with her fellow electors, there is the possibility that, as a nation, we might end up with a better set of representatives and leaders than are now being chosen for us, in the collage of propaganda and lies which is otherwise known as the “Talking Stream Media.”<BR/><BR/>The alternative to democracy by surrender to media, is a college of Electors, each of whom lives in our communities, and was elected by proper voting for their honesty and their trustworthiness.<BR/><BR/>My apologies for the length -- I’m sure that someone out there could say it better in fewer words. Democracy is a form of surrender. The better alternative is a college of Electors, each of whom was elected by our choices, as provided for in our Constitution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-3255426862298795212008-04-28T13:40:00.000-05:002008-04-28T13:40:00.000-05:00Please remember that the constitution was written ...Please remember that the constitution was written by patriarchal patricians (mostly masons and the rest being christian dupes) who lived in a society that condoned slavery and second class (practically) citizenship of women.

As children we are lead to believe the version of history we are handed by those in control. I think many are finding out that our blind, childlike faith in our elders and educational institutions have been abused and the truth often hidden from our sight. Truth being the very mechanism that has the power to free us all from this very methodical and insidious slavery of the mind and heart. Some retaliate in anger from the fear of the unknown they feel welling up inside themselves. They often attack the messenger out of desperation and panic, like a drowning man grasps to overcome his rescuer. So understanding and empathy become the guiding rule of thumb in realizing their plight. I think we can all appreciate the sense of betrayal and fear of the unknown they find themselves in. I find myself there from time to time too. I also share an interest in ancient cultures to gain an understanding of the point of origin of many of the theological ideologies that affect myself and other interpersonal relationships to this very day.<BR/><BR/>I have often wondered myself about the Divinity of the Constitution of the United States of America. The creation of a Republic by imperfect men instituting Democracy within it's framework as the mechanism to ensure the liberty and freedom of the individual. This Demonstrates an aspiration and willingness to the betterment of all under it's umbrella in my mind. Although, I think often times these two terms are confused and misapplied Republic and Democracy, using them interchangeably as one and the same, creating a mob rule mentality due to a lack of understanding of these terms.<BR/><BR/>My understanding is: Our Republic recognizes our individual innate "Divinity" if you will. We are not granted these by our Republic rather our Republic is designed to protect what we already posses by the very nature of our individual existence. It is designed to serve us not enslave us. Our Republic is also designed to use "Democracy" majority vote, along with a series of checks and balances to ensure and bar any infringement upon these recognized innate individual rights. Now it's construction and intended design is one thing and its misapplication is another thing altogether. This is my understanding of our Constitution's intended construction and design by imperfect men to serve us all.JerryMychaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062408601324358016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-52539377157164206132008-04-28T12:00:00.000-05:002008-04-28T12:00:00.000-05:00The idea about "divine inspiration" you line out i...The idea about "divine inspiration" you line out is a bit superficial.<BR/><BR/>What happens with the people who write these works is that they get <I>glimpes</I> of the divine/God, yet they themselves are unchanged mentally (peak experiences do not need a regenerated personality).<BR/><BR/>So, normal, and even fanatical people, have a glimpse of something greater, something that definitely shines in <I>any</I> Holy Book, and combine that with their own bigotry and dogma, because they think that is the sole reason they had the glimpse.<BR/><BR/>The result being they become even more fanatical in their views.

I made that comment about <A HREF="http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_slav.html" REL="nofollow">the black spot of slavery</A> in order to demonstrate that I am well aware that some of the Founding Fathers of the U.S. kept slaves. I cannot excuse it in any way, shape or form. (Some might argue that it was a "cultural practice of the time," the same they do with the barbarism in other parts of the world today.) It is probable, however, that the institution of slavery was one of the main motivating factors behind the creation of the U.S. Constitution, at least for some of its signers:<BR/><BR/><I>Prior to the Convention in 1787, many "Founding Fathers" expressed opinions that condemned slavery.</I><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_slav.html" REL="nofollow">Constitutional Topic: Slavery</A><BR/><BR/>I am not an expert on the Constitution or its history. Nor do I know the minutiae of American history as well as I would like. My interests tend to wander farther back in time. <BR/><BR/>One thing we can say is that, while slavery remains rampant in many parts of the world, it has not happened in the U.S. on a large scale for a significant period of time. Naturally, the same can be said of Europe and elsewhere, which, of course, is a good thing and to be encouraged.<BR/><BR/>As we know, many people of the time used the Bible to justify slavery, so, again, the emancipators were butting heads with religious fanatics, just as we continue to do today in our attempts to free those who are <I>mentally enslaved</I> by depraved and hateful ideologies - which to this day are used to justify slavery.Acharya Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091289754963053674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-47369734380828649962008-04-28T10:36:00.000-05:002008-04-28T10:36:00.000-05:00Anonymous said...

I think maybe your investigative skills in this area could prove to be very informative and enlightning. <BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>JerryMychaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-68187017164305847502008-04-28T01:01:00.000-05:002008-04-28T01:01:00.000-05:00Acharya,Cudo's to you in keeping the torch lit for...Acharya,<BR/><BR/>Cudo's to you in keeping the torch lit for the truth. I have your "Christ Conspiracy" book and I loved it. <BR/><BR/>As you know, there are numerous authors who preceded you in this attempt to get the truth out; Gerald Massey, Alvin Kuhn, Joseph Wheless, Karen Amrstrong, Elaine Pagels, et al. You're in good company. Keep up the 'good' work.<BR/><BR/>I found nothing in this post to suggest that Buddhism was bad. Your quotes were specifically from the Koran and the Bible. <BR/><BR/>You should in all fairness include the Mahabharata, or at least the Bhagavad Gita. I take it you've read the Acharya's too? :-)<BR/><BR/>All the best in the new millenium.<BR/><BR/>Tom Z.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-40946734905997537652008-04-28T00:58:00.000-05:002008-04-28T00:58:00.000-05:00Anonymous said...I like the U.S., I like most Amer...<I>Anonymous said...<BR/><BR/>I like the U.S., I like most Americans I have ever met.

They and their endeavors were not perfect - no one is claiming that, and, yes, of course, I am aware of the very black spot of slavery.<BR/><BR/>However, at that time these profound and highly MATURE individuals set about to accomplish something extraordinarily enlightened and generous towards humanity, not to be denigrated by the mealy of mouth.<BR/><BR/>They may as well have been spitting into the wind for all the mediocre of mind who have followed their hard-earned efforts.Acharya Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091289754963053674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-60164178584360229212008-04-27T23:30:00.000-05:002008-04-27T23:30:00.000-05:00In this context, why are people not referring to L...In this context, why are people not referring to Lysander Spooner?<BR/><BR/>http://www.lysanderspooner.org/bib_new.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-72591032095948921232008-04-27T23:18:00.000-05:002008-04-27T23:18:00.000-05:00I like the U.S., I like most Americans I have ever...I like the U.S., I like most Americans I have ever met.

The only thing, really. At the end of the day the paper is irrelevent, and the hard facts of the lifestyle one has in fact been able to manifest on the whole is the only measure: reasoned against flowery rhetoric. I guess even the best of us has found slavery in his freedom , wanton violence in his sidearm, hollow victories in accumulation.

I'd been reading one of your other blogs from your Myspace page, the one about Islam & Europe (this might explain my comments about stoning homosexuals). I then found myself on this particular page, (where I am in the world, it was late & I really should've been in bed instead of trying to take part in serious conversations.) So having got it all wrong & all mixed up, I then felt the need to say my two penneth, I wrote my comment then had to join Google or something, then I thought it hadn't been posted, so I wrote it again, adding stuff (I really should've given up at this point), then I re-read your post & realised that I'd pretty much got entirely the wrong end of the stick, and was unable to retract anything that I'd written. I went to bed feeling a bit of a twat really. So this evening I thought I better check back & see how you'd reacted, I am grateful to you for not slaughtering me too much & I can assure you that I do feel somewhat embarrassed by the whole thing. I don't think I'll be posting any more comments for a while, not unless it's mid afternoon & I have all my faculties about me. From what I've read of your blogs & things, it's obvious you're a very intelligent person & I'm glad to hear, like me, if it came down to it, you'd vote for Buddhism or Taoism (can't someone please set up that election?)<BR/>Again I do apologise, please ignore my previous comments, if I could delete them I would.<BR/><BR/>I wish we had a constitution here in England.<BR/><BR/>By the way, (sorry to change the subject) do you know that whole thing about not having to pay income tax in America?<BR/><BR/>Check out this film - <BR/><BR/>http://www.freedomtofascism.com/Dillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147411781334780541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-61469925919878366182007-05-24T22:10:00.000-05:002007-05-24T22:10:00.000-05:00Again, where in this blog post am I "so down on Bu...Again, where in this blog post am I "so down on Buddhism?" Nor is my previous remark anything critical of Buddhism. In fact, I rather like the color and pageantry of Tibetan Buddhism, and Zen is certainly very sane. If there had to be a dominant world religion, I would vote for Buddhism or Taoism.Acharya Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091289754963053674noreply@blogger.com
