Sahaj NEW AGE Mart(tm) and Quantuum Mysticism!

I received this comment to the previous article. ( I add all the hyper-links)


Hi Don,

just wanted to point your attention to a flawed attempt to justify SRCM's nonsense scientifically.

In European Echoes April 2011 newsletter the article below appeared:

--------------------------------------
Nice, France

Lecture “Science and Spirituality”, March 20
The abhyasis present at Nice Ashram on Sunday 20th of
March, followed enthusiastically the talk “Science and
Spirituality” given by Charles Thomas, Researcher at
INSERM (National institute of Health and Medical
Research).

After the presentation of the subject and the definitions,
essential for the layman to follow, the features of divergence
and convergence between Science and Spirituality were
focused upon to conclude on a balance between these two
perspectives.

This presentation was endorsed by scientific studies (namely
Einstein and the present Quantum Physics) on one hand and
spiritual masters on the other.

Charles brought these notions to our level by using simple
sketches as well as extracts from the videos “What the bleep
do we know
” and “Down the rabbit hole”.

He had proposed this theme in January in Toulouse, Vienna
(Austria) and Munich (Germany) and has continuously
improved it after each session. Presently, he is preparing a
version intended for general public use.

This lecture lasting one hour was followed by a session of
questions and answers, and then a debate for about one hour.
More than fifty abhyasis participated. They came from the
local region or other more distant centres.

The morning finished with an improvised meal, which was a
continuation of what we all shared.

Now notice the teaching material used:


"What the bleep do we know"
and Wikipedia's take on it:

The Disposal of Religious Sacred Books and Individual Right of Ownership!!

Comment of April 1, 2011 on: The Imprudent Observer to an article by Fred Stopsky: Afghan Mob Goes Beserk.


The article above (see link) is about the mock trial and subsequent burning of a copy of the Qu'ran in Gainsville, Florida, USA, on Mar. 20, 2011 by Pastor Terry Jones and others from his Christian religious community.

But the comment can also apply to the sacredness of any and all so-called "holy books" and/or scriptures, be they the writings of the original founder, the current leader, a holy man (person) or a Saint of a TEACHING, or the post-humous or channeled messages received by a Medium from an alleged "spirit" from beyond the grave!!

The secular or the profane, which can be bought, sold and/or traded, and hence has material or monetary value, is not SACRED!!

Great article …

If one buys a book, even a copy of a so-called “sacred” book, the original having allegedly been written by some alleged “holy person” in the past, and thus is now being considered “sacred” by some, then that copy of a book which is now sold for money and/or profit, becomes a “commodity” and is not sacred as the ORIGINAL is claimed to be. If anything is to be considered “sacred”, then it should not be sold and bought by anyone. COPIES are not the “sacred” ORIGINAL.

The rules of the marketplace does not make for anything that is bought and sold to be considered “sacred”, and hence having to be protected for infinity/eternity from any form of disposal by society at large, or even by a GROUP or a SECT. Even the laws of nature and/or the Laws of ONE (what some call god), do not permit that.

Whatever one BUYS, by law one has really bought ownership of that item in exchange for money, and one can dispose of that item as any other item one buys in the marketplace. Would a “garbage dump” or a recycling depot, show more “respect” than a fire, shredding, recycling, etc…?

This is an example of the FREEDOMS which we have availed ourselves in the WEST. Some of these FREEDOMS we now enjoy were gained by the blood of our ancestors, as they fought our also once-tyrannical religions. The Muslim community (or the EAST) will have to also FREE themselves so as to be a FREE society. Free from our own institutions (religious and secular).

The Muslim ORIGINAL book can be protected as “GOLD” or as sacred by the collective, but not all the copies which are sold for MONEY (to Satan?? and/or his western “acolytes”??)

The more Bibles I burn, the more Bibles are printed, bought, sold and/or given to replace them …

Don
