Is the violence that is manifest in nature symbolic
too Tony? You see, one of the reasons that people do
not feel free is because they are willing to accept
certain manifestations of the LIFE; but they are
unwilling to accept other manifestations that they do
not understand.

11:31. Tell me who Thou art that wearest this
frightful form. Salutations to Thee, O God Supreme!
Have mercy. I desire to know Thee, who art the Primal
One; for I do not understand Thy purpose.

What persons do not understand they do not want to
accept. Some reject out right what their mind cannot
process and they want to go on a crusade.

Last week Tony you were "railing" against "do-gooders"
and "polyannas". This week its the meat eaters and
violence.

But the liberated find nothing to accept and nothing
to reject. The liberated live their lives in perfect
peace and freedom. They need not "understand". And
they need not crusade against one aspect the LIFE that
they can't "compute".

Dear Tony,
I place no man above myself for that is bondage. But
I listen to what men say, and I practice what seems
efficacious.

Beyond that I trust the true guru that is within and
without and everywhere at once.

Love,
