...and I believe in the Invisible Pink Pony....really now. I really believe that you should think hard about these rather outlandish beliefs of yours - some being "outside of space and time" (I mean why aren't there groups of these beings? And who is to say if they like baseball or crickett? etc I mean really now - we are supposing quite a lot...based on? I don't know - a little birdy whispered it in your ear - I don't know really? Some sheep herder with a lot of time on his hands a few milenia ago came accross some jimson weed and sucked on it for awhile? I mean these are pretty perposterous claims you are making (and that all other religious people make) - WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE AT ALL. Yeah - I think that you are loony - diseased - sick - you should get treatment -who knows what the voices will tell you next - definate potential menace to society...

Additionally please equate for me the disparity between this "infinite and perfect good" and the realities of the Armenian Genocide. Enough said. Dream on....but I can only pity you.
If Man were more conscious, then there wouldn't be holocausts but since we are as we are, life is as it is.
the budding soul needs to "feel" somthing of more value then the result of terror. It seks to commune with something higher, a greater good. If true, you as of yet do not feel this.

It was precisely her direct knowledge of factory work that she voluntarily indulged in, that she was able to see the essential flaw in Communism.
Marx had said that "religion was the opiate of the masses to which she retorted that "revolution was the opiate of the masses." This of course means that without help from above, there can ever be any real change. Revolutions will eventually settle out into the same circumstance as those that caused the revolution accept with different people in power.

I can just picture them having one of their profound conversations that went over the heads of the majority. Those identifying themselves as Christians would be upset that he should talk to Blavatsky. Those asserting themselves as theosophists would be wary also of what they would consider the threat of Christian dogmatism.
They would talk. Those around them would fight and you, believing them all nuts, would probably jump out the window in frustration.
And people wonder why wars can make such sense to people.

First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

I feel your generalazation is dangeourus
putting people in a group and labeling them!
whats next after that? you should know better then anyone.
Just for the sake of simplfying life for yourself you sacrifice good and the bad lumped together?
Will you compromise your position (may it come late) on your death bed? or will you go with a clinched fist."All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
