Dearest Raka,

Like it or not, RIGHT or WRONG, every child that has parents (and even those who do not, one or both!) are destined to DEFINE their parents ;-)

The LUCKY ones (Shall we call them WISE? We can discuss that when possible on OUR time :-)) manage to go beyond the definition, at least the initial ONE!

I am sure that the unread part of your offering/post, as you lovingly suggested holds truths and answers and I shall read them, once you answer the questions that really bother me more immediately, given my limited cognitive capability.

{hugs}

[quote="Mlady Raka"]Dearest Rohini,

When we begin to "define" Creator we walk on very shaky territory and it borders on unforgivable arrogance, for how can Creation explains that which Created it?

Having said that.....we are allowed to ponder the origins of our existence and "wonder" about the One who Created all this...  and in this light I would like to say the following:

To me  Creator is neither Male only or Female only but a UNIT of some sort working in concert, whether this UNIT is enclosed in one BEING or split off and are two seperate entities I do not know....  I do sense though that the Male part of Creator is dominant and therefore I call Creator "He"....  

To me Religion is a Dark Creature who has capitalized on the gullibility of the human kind in order to enslave them with Dogma and Ritualistic Structures.  It breeds fanatacism, fear and intolerance and its only purpose is to CONTROL the weak and gullible and its agents profit from the fear they distribute....  More people have suffered and died on this planet because of Religion than any natural disease or disaster that ever hit this third rock from the sun....

Faith on the other hand is a spontaneous and instinctive belief which encompasses all which is felt toward Creator and His Creation and is exercised in love and tolerance....

Perhaps you can read the rest of my previous post now?  (winks)

Dearest Raka,

If I may very gently introduce another possibility?

FAITH is the PORTAL through which we humans enter into RELIGION!

I pray and hope that you are with me on the same page when viewing REALITY through that perspective!

Dearest Rohini,

(Why do I get the mental picture of you stamping your foot and saying....I wanna know, and I wanna know NOW....LOL).

Read my posts carefully....and then read them again.....

What you understand from them now, is what you should understand from them...nothing more...nothing less....

Okay dearest *Teacher*, let us try it another way ;-)

What am I missing from all that you wrote, already? Or that in your judgment you think I missed?

Dear Rohini,

Through our human existence we are not able to fathom reality....only our perceptions thereof....   For to know Reality, would mean to be able to take control of it and alter it, and Creator won't take that chance given our contaminated psyches....  

Look what we have already done with just the few revelations we stumbled upon....  Since the road to hell is paved with good intentions, I believe we should also not actively search for "reality".  

We are on a need to know basis, and there are some things we don't need to know....as we grow...we will be entrusted with more, but it's not going to fall into our laps, and neither can we demand to have it....

love and rainbows

Raka
