i have read the Bible in a few versions - original King James, NIV and Good News version (modern simple English)

i have read the Quran in a literature-style translation (non-religious) and straight literal from its Arabic text (religious)

the problem is that every one who believes in Christ most of them haven't red the Bible,
everyone who believes in Krishna haven't red the Bhagavad Gita, it's hard to imagine how they deal with their imaginable truth" of holy books if they just don't know what they are about ? i started reading them, getting close, then i started reading esoteric and theosofical ones, like Lobsang Rampa and Madam Blavatsky. I wanted to say more but i don't have the rights )

I'm just wondering, with all the religious discussion on here, how many people have actually read the holy books of other religions to their own (if they have a religious ID at all) or studied the culture, theology and background to those religions.

It just seems that there's an awful lot of misunderstanding going on about some religions (especially Islam) which could be sorted out by some basic research into that religion or that particular theology.

I can say that I've read most of the major religious texts, including some in their original language.

What about my fellow MBers?
I must say that I have read just about everything there is to read. And, not exclusive to all the major religious texts. Truth is everywhere. In every Word ever written. So, I guess I would like to know what you have learned from your studies? Do you understand the concepts. Logos. Do you understand the Book of Tao? Or, even Mary had a little lamb?

Can you pinpoint Truth in the messages delivered through the brilliance of lyricists in rock n roll?

Let me post a song I wrote. The lyrics apply to a few problems. Let me know how many messages do you find that apply to everything you know through all the texts you have studied? And, the last line. What is the name?

The Score

In this world of numbers and digits
an endless supply of useless statistics
winning or losing the game of life
means life for your death, and death for your life
The powers that be love their numbers and digits
utilized for handy labeling kits
manipulation of numbers create deception and lies
And, with the labeling kits, they destroy men's lives

So they tabulate to stipulate
and recalculate to manipulate
but sadly they underestimate
the fate they await on the Judgment date
and all the numbers and digits that these men create
serve only to abominate, desecrate, and teach us to hate

In this world of numbers and digits
and labels created to suit us and fit us
to categorize us as an end to a means
And, we wear them as proudly as designer jeans

So they tabulate and calculate
to manipulate and validate
to amass a wealth that bears no weight
for bread that means nothing at the narrow gate
and on the great and dreadful judgment date
nary a man can manipulate his fate
because, judging oneself is a tough debate
The Powers that be want conformity
with numbers and digits they form strategy
and we follow along like little lost sheep
to be bound in a place called gnash and weep
Numbers and digits is the name of the game
But numbers and digits cannot form a name
and in this game there is no hero
cause man's final score is always on zero
So keep on following on the broad and wide path
use numbers and digits and keep crooked math
Use those numbers and digits for your son and daughter
for with numbers and digits you lead them to slaughter

So stand by while they calculate and tabulate
the numbers used to manipulate and dominate
and while numbers and digits for some seem to stimulate
death and destruction is what they perpetuate
by man's actions and words he seals his own fate
for numbers and digits not a single name makes

Because, this is exactly why I joined this site. Is to try to inform people that they must do exactly what you have done and more. If they want to seek and find what is incorrectly perceived as a name. god. And, the religions created from the messages of Logos that were altered and misinterpreted.

See what you think might the message here. There's several that apply to all the scriptures, and the teachings. How many can we find? I hope some of you participate, and please post anything you would want to see interpreted. I would love to see some original poetry, or songs you have written.

peace

steve

Welcome to MB, Steve.

Try this one:

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

[The Square Root of Three by David Feinberg]

Too easy?

Too easy?
Thank you for the welcome my brother.

Actually it is not easy for anyone who does not know Logos. And, the concept of worship as it 'defined'. So, allow me share a couple of Words that prevent David Feinburg from seeing any thing beyond the Sun. And, Logos was with god and is god. And, the Word is the Name, and the Name can only be known. Those who have the Name know it, but, do not speak it. And, those who do not have it, do not know it.

But, when it says 'father', think Mother. It is not Dad and Mom, is it not Mom and Dad?

Here is David's problem. Worship. "to become an worthy of equal state of being. Indivisible, having nothing with which to measure it. Exist yet not exist at the same time, so that it satisfies a theist, and A-theist.

And, perfectly at rest defying the laws of motion. Since, an object tends to stay in motion, unless affected by an unbalanced force, we have to become an object that cannot be affected by an unbalanced force.

David likes the number 9 not because it divisible by 3, but, because it can make One turn, and be reduced to the number 1 only by dividing itself. And, since the Spirit is divides by two, good and evil, we have the divide and conquer by division and multiplication. 9/3 =3 That would be the trinity, and it is false doctrine. One turn, it becomes 6. 6/3 = 2, 2/2 1 = 1. The Father and the Sun. An unbalanced force. And, since we see it, it can exist yet not exist. It's still. So, it is not the Name, or the Word. It is not at rest. Only absolute Truth cannot be measured, has no equal or opposite, indivisible, and has the Name above all Names. And, the Word and the are Nameless.


"If you want to swim on the ocean of the bosom of Truth, you must reduce yourself to a zero" Gandhi gets credit, Logos actually delivered the messaged.

Universe - One turn. One turning. One psalm or line of poetry, One song, One verse. We simply have to turn it around, because, you advance from front to back. That is retreating. You must start the back, and advance the front.

'Have you the beginning that you are looking for the end? You see, the beginning is where the end will be"

Light and Darkness, life and death, right and left, are brothers of one another. They are inseparable. Because of this neither are the good good, nor evil evil, nor is life life, nor death death. For this reason each one will dissolve into its original nature. But those who are exalted above the world are indissoluble, eternal.

Names given to worldly things are very deceptive for they divert our thoughts from what is correct to what is incorrect. Thus one who hears the word God, he does not perceive what is correct, but perceives what is incorrect. So also with the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit and life and light and resurrection and the (Ecclesia, assembly not church) and all the rest - people do not perceive what is correct. The names which are heard in the world are meant to deceive. If they were in the Aeon, they would at no time be used as names in the world. Nor were they set among worldly things. They have an end in the Aeon.

The Sun is not eternal, or immortal. It will die out eventually, so, in order to evolve, we must devolve. And, thank your lucky stars that we live in a 'Galaxy', not a universe.

Ask David, how can you 'advance' from being number one? Not, number 2. Nine is a significant number, but, I it applies to a different book. Starts with a Q. And, since there is not good or/and evil, it is all a story of exactly how to merge the posts together, and, then the threads, delete and destroy them, then create a new forum on the internet. New heaven on earth. Because, the way books are interpreted as of now, your goal had best to go to hell.....)) It's funny, but seriously funny.

Does that make sense

And, Truth will never die, and cannot be upset by an unbalanced force, Truth is Truth. Truth has no opposite or equal. Wisdom can 'measure' Truth, but Wisdom can both redeem or destroy those who do not have the Name.

Truth is everywhere, yet nowhere. It exists in everyone, yet no one.

The Tao that can be followed is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the origin of heaven and earth
While, naming is the origin of the myriad things.
Therefore, always desireless, you see the mystery

Ever desiring, you see the manifestations
These two are the same
When they appear they are named differently.
This sameness is the mystery,
Mystery within mystery;
The door to all marvels.[B]

One single name is not uttered in the world, the name which the Father gave to the Son, the name above all things; the name of the Father. For the Son would not become Father unless he wears the name of the Father. Those who have this name know it, but they do not speak it. But those who do not have it do not know it.

But Truth brought names into existence in the world because it is not possible to teach without names. Truth is one single thing and it is also many things for our sakes who learn this one thing in love through many things. The powers wanted to deceive man, since they saw that he had kinship with those that are truly good. They took the name of those that are good and gave it to those who are not good, so that through the names they might deceive him and bind them to those that are not good. And afterward, if they do them a favor, they will be made to remove them from those that are not good and place them among those that are good. These things they knew, for they wanted to take the free man and make him a slave to them forever.

A lonely number like root three
He should have said like a root of a tree, and pulled it up by it's root, and took an axe to it. And, one "tree" will take you around the world in 80 ways.
Test it. Your names define you, and they also will tell you more about yourself than any 'psychic'.

Sorry for the length. But, the message is elementary, it's the logic that complicates it, and, the deception lies in man's 'redefining' the Words. And, I have names that link me to a lot of characters in that seemingly incomprehensible book of craziness. And, I am linked to a lot of 'beasts', believe me, it's a story, and not literal, and is the father of all Siamese twins.

I'll post somethings about numbers and names of mine that you might find amusing. There is no literal 'second coming'. It really is a story of how Truth has to revealed through myth, and it we cannot co-exist, or exist as a divided society. It a coming to Jesus meeting through an event that never actually happened literally. Very little history lies in that book. But, there are a lot of lies. Or, at least it appears that way, because, man put his grubby little fingers on it, and, put the heresy in, and the Wisdom out. So, look for the heretics.

I forgot about 1.7321. Notice that he understands that you have to shrink, not think. He was moving from back to front, but, he subtracted using the powers of ten, not nine, and he arrived at one, but, he is repeating the process. He didn't redeem himself, and when you are playing with numbers, you can arrive at a number of beasts. Because he may have thought he was subtracting, but he may have been playing some algebra here. x =7(3+2+1) x = 42/6 =7 and x is a variable that could = 7 to the tenth power, and that is one 7 horned, 10 headed beast. Or, he simply cubed it. using the power of to arrive at nine, or you want to be become 'whole', you better use whole numbers. Names and numbers are what men use to define the Word. And that is dangerous, especially when you use crooked math.

I could ask What one?: Which of these do you want? Which do you want? Which book do you want? Which one? Go which ever way you please, you'll end up here. At One. And, one to the tenth power still equals one. Any way you play will always lead you back from whence you came. It's only when you stop the game, can you realize the self. Study the Word, because, numbers always mark a beast, trust me. That was my message in my song. But, i turned it around with what man perceives to be the lowest number on the list, and doesn't exist.

peace

steve

Madame Blavatsky really gets a bad rap. There is nothing she says that I have read, that I do not know for a fact, or have disagreed with as being entirely possible. We don't know some things, but, the things she writes that I cannot prove, I have certainly had the same perceptions. The heretics are in, and the Spirit speaks as a beast.

It is all in the Word, it's just not in the book, or interpreted correctly. She is not a deceiver, I can personally guarantee that. And, she is spot on when she says western religion inhibits enlightenment. Read the Gospels that came from the Spirit of Jesus the Nazarene Christ, in the flesh of the Virgin whom the powers defiled. Mary....the Magdalene.

Please explain why you do not have the rights to say more? Is there a limit as it is applies to length? Or, is there a double-standard of what is good for the gooses, but, not for the ganders?

Thanks. I will post something that will demonstrate exactly what she wrote about. Believe me on that one.

I am curious as to what or why you are prohibited from saying.

peace
