The Nobility of War

[montychandra]

Paula, you seem like a very wise and learned person. I have several questions about western society. Can I ask you those questions ?

Thank you for a response.

Thank you for refering me to this vid Paula! You should watch some videos of Prahbupada they are here on youtube many think he was killed by our great and wonderfull government! I think his wisdom was priceless!

Wow, wonderful intepretation and you are giving such excellent meaning to this ancient story in the modern context. Truly wonderful work ! Im an Indian living in Boston. I watched a couple of the videos you have uploaded about the Mahabharata, and its meaning in today's society and they are awesome ! Please keep up the good work.

i believe that whole thing was made simply to gain control over a powerful trip. but they, thats in my world, not yours. :)

well the vedas are both a record of how creation came to be as well as a method to maintain it. so our worlds do have vaster coordination aspects (otherwise how could we utube?) thanks for stopping by!

who gives a shit about that? its not spiritual practice vs drugs, its fear vs courage, thats basicly what it is.

fear will also make it look like it's intelligence vs studpidity, but hey, whatever works. i don't couldn't care less, i like to experience stuff before i make a final conclusion.

[paulagloria]

well my experience is that meditation can be very powerful although I respect that herbs, gems, and mantras basically the study of tantra is a perfect body of knowledge too. That would be shakti, the physical vs siva the process of intention

"somashamans d0t com" obviously goes pretty sure soma is the amanita muscaria, and shaman Hawk have been using this sacred mushroom daily for close to 30 years.

[paulagloria]

how about refining one's physiology so WHATEVER you ingest produces the bliss of the soma? This is the argument for spiritual practice vs drugs

[madspwn]

Soma = Amanita Muscaria

[paulagloria]

I've heard that. Any experience yourself with either the AM or the vedas?

[madspwn]

Yes! I have several masonjars of them, dried, in my basement. They give an ecstatic high for sure, as long as you keep a wise modaration on dosage. I highly recommend them.

[paulagloria]

have you heard of ingesting good thoughts? I think this is the idea behind the vedas....reading holy scripture

[madspwn]

Of course, but where did the to write the poetry and these sacred chants come from?

Leaving out or simply ignoring entheogens from holy scriptures is like driving a car to Wisdom without gasoline imo.

[madspwn]

s/where did the to

where did the influence to*
