Besides, the universe would have used someone else even had you not volunteered. In that sense, there are no mistakes. In the long term, it all fita together like a puzzle from the future.
Cats can drop things from high up when figuring out puzzles.
Another area that has been overlooked, are the teachings of Madam Blavatsky and Alice Bailey. The "Missing Link". Compared to the current strata of thinking, both parties seem to be Primordial and not current, (yet), the information they acquired at the time was phenomenal. Their teachings and philosophy is. (indirectly), related to current day thinking. In the writings of Madam Blavatsky, there are indirect connotations to Ra and Higher Beings, (implying otherworldly). Has anyone read Isis Unveiled" or the "Secret Doctrine". Highly recommended reading. There are more things in Heaven and Earth than you realize. Once again, everything is connected, (is it not). Don't look at the obvious, but the sublime. The God(s) work in mysterious ways?
When I started reading ISIS Unveiled, it seemed a natural course. Or, a naturalistic flow of Spiritual Knowledge. Although at the same time I was studying under the Zen Master, and I think the understanding came as a bridge. (is not Theosophy Eastern Philosophy). Even then I could see the unification between Religion and Spirituality, (all Religion). There is an underlying essence that permeates all Religion, (and yet), the average person cannot see it, because they are brainwashed and indoctrinated by their separate Religion. I had a friend, (a Fundamentalist Christian), and his standard answer was, "If it is not Christian, it is counterfeit", (a childish response). That sounds hypercritical because before I turned my back on Christianity, I was a Fundamentalist. It appears as if the God(s) had other plans for me? Thank the God(s) of Knowledge and Wisdom? Meanwhile, sometimes I mock the God(s), perhaps its adolescence, (in the Spiritual sense)? My other love is Qawwali music, and there is a certain amount of mocking God when they are praising him.
The "Art of Mocking the God(s)". Another concept that the West has difficulties with. The myriads of God(s). Perhaps three hundred million God(s) is too difficult to comprehend, and it is more simple only having one. Then you don't need three hundred million shrines. I prefer watching Shiva and Shakti dancing in front of Brahma. Apart from the fact such sentiments comes back to personal taste. So ends the discourse...
Peace and Shalom.
