Would love to learn about the 'other perspectives'. I am of the firm belief that no one can ever grow/evolve spiritually within the narrow confines of fundamentalism.
Peace unto you too.

He doesn't see us as ugly but perfect as He sees Himself


When we can take every set of opposites and make them one there is no fundamentalism.

I agree with your second sentence.

When Ram asked Hanuman, are you, man, monkey? Hanuman says, when I don't know who I am, I serve you. When I know who I am, you and I are one.

Didn't Darwin figure that one out (maybe not literally!) {God made monkey and then it unfolded and attained its potential and became human! Kind of like the transformer toys that kids play with these days}.

Until the Creationists came along and now we are back to square one!

By the way, in Hanuman Chalisa Lord Rama called Hanuman His brother! However, he called Hanuman equal to his brother Bharat but (by implication) not equal to His brother Lakshman who accompanied Ram to the 14 years of Exile while leaving his family etc.

[the CaSeS used in the last paragraphs are significant!]

Happy Holidays!
