Toward a True Kinship of Faiths.

I participate in many religious discussions in the internet, recently. (not only paganism & wicca).

So far it's going well, finding common goals and common language.


'Truth is what brings together instead of separating, but honesty is also important'.


Need to find time for reading this:

Also, I do not know much about him, but I like St Augustine.

'Saint Augustine and Buddhism share surprising similarities in how they view human suffering and the desire for peace. The Buddha taught that suffering comes from human desire. Augustine, an early Christian philosopher, taught that human suffering comes from misdirected love and free will.'

Symbols of Truth, what they are?

Purpose.

... to interpret visions, insights and skrying attempts, i wish to use 'Symbols of Truth'.

See also, if You wish: Wish for Mental Skrying Tools, in Service for All Buddhas, Skrying in Service for All Buddhas.


What is truth?

... i like to say that 'truth is what brings together instead of separating, but honesty is also important'.

There are many truths, as many as there are beings.


Symbols of Truth.

... i think Symbols of Truth are symbols that invoke view of certain beings into my view, that these symbols say what is beneficial and what is harmful, that these symbols say who is friend and who is foe.

... in buddhism worst foe is ignorance, the root cause of all detrimential mind states. Ego is foe in Buddhism as well.


What Symbols of Truth i should use?

... i wish to use the Symbols of Truth that:

* include view of All Buddhas,
* include view of All Sanghas,
* include view of a Buddhist woman i Love,
* include view of the Rosicrucian Golden Dawn,
* include views of other Esoteric Groups - including Wicca, Witchcraft, and Luciferianism,
* dispel distractions - awaken clear and calm mind, awaken clear awareness, awaken discriminating wisdom,
* bring beings together, instead of separating,

Yes, i know - my visions will be interpreted through biased lens - but i tell about my preferences openly, at least.

... i fight for people & ideas i support, that way - and prefer to not fight too blindly - 'Symbols of Truth' are just a tool for that.

... feel free to criticize, if You wish.

'Monopoly on Truth' ?

What is Truth?

i like saying: 'Truth is what brings together instead of separating, but honesty is also important'.

Truth can be either relative or absolute.

i think too many - not only of the faith religions - are too exclusive in their beliefs, or too politically correct in following stupid ideas spoken by attractive people.

i think every religion and view has a role, fulfills needs, and i believe that there can be mutual understanding and respect based on compassion.

i think that saying 'Only Buddhism leads to Absolute Truth' or 'Only our God is True', is a sign of being too exclusive.

Too much of stupidity, exclusiveness, fundamentalism, spiritual intolerance, envy or greed leads to conflicts.

In modern times the internet breaks boundaries between cultures, there's immediately available direct contact with very different people.

Without tolerance, understanding, compassion and respect it's too easy to argue, to react emotionally, to enflame dogmatic differencies and view differencies.

It is a responsibility to see each of beings as worthwhile, to understand that we are all interdependent - without each other we won't survive, nor be happy.

In modern times, with advanced weaponry - not only nuclear - lack of responsibility, understanding, compassion and respect can lead to catastrophes, even to destruction of our planet.

It is important to care for others, to support or help those in worse situation - as desperation brings desire for revenge, breeds terrorism, wars and other troubles.

No single religion or view has monopoly on truth - i believe happy families can be together in any society, culture, religion, view or nation. i believe anyone can learn wisdom and practice compassion, can try to develop good relations with other religions or views.

Truth, Does it Bring Together?

Truth is what brings together, instead of separating.

Word 'Religion' comes from latin 'Religare' meaning 'Reunion'.

... but it's said that religions are main cause of many wars.

Greatest spiritual leadeers inspire for Peace & Love, yet their followers are too often intolerant, materialistic, fanatical and stupid.

There are people who are afraid of word 'Truth' - fearing that someone's 'Truth' will oppose their own 'Truth', that someone's 'Way' will challenge their 'Way'.

People react emotionally to religious ideas, and while Peace & Love should be in center - minor details are causes of conflicts.

Too often people wish to steal resources from other Religions or Views for themselves & their friends - thinking it's noble, thinking it's beneficial from their Religion or View's perspective.

But such approach causes hatred & conflicts, it's far from beneficial, i think.


i am changing Buddhist Schools because i think too many beings in Lama Ole Nydahl's Sangha are irresponsible sectarian worshippers - and this endangers my love & life.

i do trust Lama Ole Nydahl still, i wish to learn from Lama Ole Nydahl's still, as well as from all of Buddhas, no matter of which School.

i wish to learn more about Non-Sectarian Rimé movement.

i offered gifts for Lama Ole Nydahl & HH Buddha Karmapa 17th Trinley Thaye Dorje - as well as for others. i do not wish to change mind in this matter.

i think too many call Lama Ole Nydahl a scam-artist, too many are violent - not only in Lama Ole Nydahl's Sangha.

i wish to find a Way that brings together Buddhism's Schools & Sanghas, as well as other Spiritual Views / Wicca & the Golden Dawn, for example / closer.


i wish to investigate relations between Interdependence, Equanimity, Responsibility, and Kinship, the Truth.

i wish to investigate how lack in Equanimity & other beneficial inner values is related with ignorance, with hatred & lust, with competition for resources and with abusing other beings. i wish to investigate why many in Lama Ole Nydahl's Sangha are Fanatical Anti-Islamists, at least at first glance, as well.

i wish to offer HH Buddha Dalai Lama this pursuit of Kinship, Responsibility & Truth as my most important Buddhist Practice for his School, for other Schools as well.

i won't hesistate to criticize, if i feel it's needed, even if it's not politically correct. When i'll be in doubt, i'll try to state that, as well. i'll welcome critic & consequences as well.


We'll see how this will develop.
