religions

[Bereta_Eder]

I've been to a seminar about religions and I was thinking

christianity is one thing but also the eastern religions are so interesting


buddhiosm and hindiusim thorugh meditation claim that you can reach the divine though meditation within you


this is fascinating


orthodoxy always had that mystic tone of the orient but ok thank you next


buddhism. to reach the divine through meditationa practise within you


of course hard core orthodocy claim this is a gaetway for demons


but come on

[Bereta_Eder]

that approach looks a lot like protestantism and they don't even know how to have sex

we do because of the communist influence

[Bereta_Eder]

meditation can make you come closer to the divine

orthodocy claims these are mere demons


and I hear dprotestantism claims the same


so all is orthodocy and all others are demons


the ancient gods are demonds


dionysus is a deamon (but also a saont satyres are demons

everyione is a demon

what is a deamon

israelite piece of sh!@t religion


in ancient greece demon merely meant yourself within


like jim morisson's grave writes "κατα τον δαιμονα εαυτου" in perfecf greek


acoording to my self demon


also his grace is saint piere la saize is short

morisson must have been short (for an irishman?)

[Bereta_Eder]

ALSO THE GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH CONDEMNED THE GREEK REVOLUTION AS DID ALL THE EUROPEAN POWERS


ONLY GREEKS WON

[Bereta_Eder]

So, what won is being Greek



Let's explore wthat that means

[Bereta_Eder]

(as a side note, I have a french girlie in france in some frenchie village bothering me constantly. and she has some frenchie guy. what does she want with me? I do home chores alone.

also a huge greek revolutionary was married toa frenchie girlie . I visited their house. pretty neat it was/. made of wood placed at half the height of a mountain

The mystic branches of Christianity share some with the Indic religions I think (Shinto and Taoism are influenced by the Indic religions, but are maybe not Indic religions, which is why I don't say Eastern religions). Shared includes the emphasis on meditation and even God within you.

I do agree with one big difference, which is that Christianity insists on the importance of God outside of you. I think that this is an important difference.

I can also see the point of seeking within you giving you your internal demons and not God. People who get really deep into meditation say it can be dangerous.

[Berzerker]

I think church dogma created that difference so they'd have the job of intermediary

[Bereta_Eder]

that's stupid JM which goes to show chtistianity hard ciore is stupid


in order to reach the divine you'd need to be an hard core orthodox monk in the holy mountain


budhism meakes this far more accessible to the masses


and demons come on

[Bereta_Eder]

the bactrian kingdoms

the osmosis bewteen greece and india

greco-buddism

[Bereta_Eder]

protestants are hard core christians like orthodox

funde,mentalists

[Bereta_Eder]

budhism offers a way to reach the divine within you


christianity is jsut afraid she'll lose clientelle that's why it says sh!t about demons

[Bereta_Eder]

and actually JM

(really if people are not greek, why do they even bother)


the thing that pulls christianity appart is the front cetner ikmportance it gives to the body

eastern religions focus on spirit like the bodfy is like some shirt you change


christianity upholds the vast importance of the body at the same level as the spirit/soul


not knowing what happens in barbarian lands but in greek christianity the second coming will reconstitute your BODY


anyway

this is too tiresome to explain

[Bereta_Eder]

also it is hilaroious that buddhist churchs exist in all european countries


not in turkey though (it isn't a european country but close ot them)\\
the little muslimislimistics are scared of the buddha

[Bereta_Eder]

The God within you is of immesne poewr if you think about it


probably why alexander thiought india was cool

God is within you and you can reach HIM through medication


imagive that

I will never become an ascetic monk but I can do meditation
