"Correct me if I'm wrong but is it insane to quote Hitler for the purpose of stating that there are some wolves in sheeps clothing out there?"


Ok I'll correct you. No it is not insane at all. Hitler has become something of an evil icon in the popular psyche. Even those who know next to nothing about him will regard him as evil. Thus if we are looking for an example of someone who was almost certainly not divinely inspired Hitler is a good choice. I cannot offhand think of anyone else who receives such near universal condemnation.

"The same thing could be stated without using a Hitler quote."

True, but it is a question of dramatic effect.

"Maybe you should take some of your own advice- "respect for all." "

And where do I give this advice? It is anonymous who supposedly believes in showing respect for everyone, not me. In fact I believe that respect should be earned. I can see no reason whatsoever why we should respect some of the clear fakes in the Kriya world, or anywhere else.

Respecting someones right to hold a particular opinion does not mean respect for that view.

As for the prayer at the top of this board, it was something which I thought would be nice to have in the board header. A type of board anthem.

What does it mean to me? It certainly does not mean showing respect for all, and accepting every position as equally valid.


Let us all protect one the other

Protect, in the context of a messageboard means we are entitled to point out where we believe others may be going wrong. Not from an arrogant position of assumed superiority, but in order to help others. It is not protection if we do not challenge the claims of eg Norman Paulsen and others.

Let us all enjoy together.
Let us act valiently together.

Hopefully we can all enjoy this board. Not everyone has the same tastes, so those who do not enjoy the posts here should go somewhere else with our good wishes.

May spiritual knowledge ever shine before us.

Notice that it does not say "false knowledge". To get at the truth a little debate and exchange of views may be necessary.

Let us never hate one another.

Sound advice!

And let Peace and Peace and Peace reign everywhere

Perfect peace is not possible in this world. Hopefully our time spent here will encourage us to seek the peace of meditation. The peace that "surpasses all understanding." If just one person is helped to find such peace by this board, then it's existence is worthwhile.
