Honorable Killing prt: 3rd...

So who is right? The Buddhist’s believe as the Jain’s in non violence, a yogi tradition for ones who seek enlightenment. The warriors have no limitation on killing, except to not harm then innocent like farmers, children, and women.

I see no problem is killing idiots who desire to only take life from others, and do immoral acts. I see no problem in killing one who wants to die, like Dr. Kevorkian. I see no trouble killing in defense - but where does this end? This takes great training as in a Shao lin priest.

The problem today is that folks believe that killing of the body is killing. I believe that I am immortal, I am the eternal spirit that moves from body to body much like I pick out a new car.
Therefore, who can kill me? It is a mistaken belief.

But one can kill my creations. My home, my cars, my gardens, my body and on & on.
I feel as the yogis and Buddhists, that not to kill is the way. I don't kill ants, anymore, or spiders, etc. but if I find a black widow near the house, I will kill it, just out of protection for the others that live there too.

President Lincoln was legally able to hold a duel, not any more - it would be considered murder. Abe handled it by a stroke of genius to challenger who he put off for a long time, wanting to duel. Pres finally agreed when the man gave him the option of time and place with choice of weapons: 'Ok I will duel in (this particular) lake with sledge hammers... Well the lake was 6 feet deep no problem for Mr. Lincoln, but the challenger was less than that.... end of duel Abe won with wits.

So this is not a cut an dry subject. Mahatma Gandhi practiced non violence, as did his student Dr King, who died at the hand of an assassin as did Gandhiji. The only conclusion I can come to is that one must decide for oneself, where question lies.

The Martial arts teachers- the best of all, know their skill so well that they don't have to kill, they can disable any attacker with any weapon. Native American Indians are said to be able to transform into animals to escape there enemies. Miracles do happen.

You have a temperament - follow your path. If like Gandhi or King it is peace - follow peace. If it is like Gen Schwarzkopf or The Green Hornet follow the path of war, in defense.

There are other paths too, you must find yours. Generally it must be up to society to decide this issue. As Clint’s latest movie about gangs, illustrates. Yea for Dirty Harry ! when we need him.

Yea for Gandhi when we want to live.

Honorable Killing prt: 2nd

Well, who am I to judge...

But, I do have to know what to do when I have to act. In the movie "Taken", an ‘A+’ in my book, the hero has to go an get his daughter who was 'taken' to be sold into slavery as prostitute, by a gang who is above the ability of the local law to deal with. There’s lots of killing of these ‘perps’ in this picture. Anyone viewing it would agree, they need to die.

Hindu history in the form of stories passed from generation, by generation as tales of villains so bad that God himself ( or her self) has to incarnate to come down here in order to put the creep back under control. The Ramayana, the story of a King, Rama, who has his bride, Sita, stolen. They were incarnations of God to trap the pesky demon, and have an excuse to kill him if he didn't want to behave.

Krishna in the "Bhagavad-Gita", the Song of the Lord - one section of the "Mahabharata" or Great Struggle or War, has to deal with the hero - Arjuna. (Etymologically he became Hercules to the Greeks. Arjuna had to face this same dilemma oh kill or not kill. There is every reason to kill his own teacher - by treachery, and even some of his own family members. But he can't do it, though is a master of martial arts - so much of a one the Hitler has special orders to gain the knowledge of Arjuna’s battlefield powers.

In order to get Arjuna to fight, to kill, to win this battle, Krishna - an incarnation of God, also a master of the martial arts, had to give Arjuna a divine view of God (Krishna) crushing these enemies in his teeth. The message was “fight Arjuna - you can not kill anyone as the soul is immortal, as you and I are. I, God, alone can destroy- so fulfill your destiny as this is preordained by me. Fight Arjuna, kill.” Gods Blessings.

What happens today when both sides in Iraq think, believe they are killing in the name of God?
The difference to me is that God tells one in the above situations, where man thinks he is doing it in the Name of God in Iraq.

So who is right?

continued tomorrow.

Giant Stones in Australia?...

Australia or not?

Right ~ NOT !

But this is what they would see right now if it were...

This the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge June of 2005.
Sunrise.... Credit:


This is one of the many Astronomical sites of the ancient world. Actually it was an Astrological site as the two were the same science until the church got involved.
Enjoy the day....

Happy Solstice...

Today is the day the earth stops tilting southward...
like you come to stop sign , look both ways then go on your way...

Today the Sun enters the sign of Capricorn...
Having looked far down the road...Judgin our effectiveness of the past year...
with sun in Sagitarious now leaving it...Capricorn is about setting down strong roots,
to grown tall and strong..
this in Western Astrology.

This gives us in the Northern latitudes, the longest day - 4 seconds longer than yesterday.
Tomorrow the Sun will appear to begin it's journey back north and the shortest day
~June the Summer Solstice...

Why do we celebrate this time of year?
probably because it is cold...and dark for a long time...

and until radio, TV, Internet came along we had little to do...

Couldn't even have much sex in the house with kids, grandma and all..
so my guess is having the holidays now got all these folks with something to do,
cook, decorate, make gifts for each other...
stories to tell by the fire...

But is it much different? energy wise?

Well for some it is difficult for sure ~ the lack of sunlight and vitamin D
really gets to them - more illness, more mental fatigue...

So we, in the Northern countries of the West,
are programed now for the celebrations we have grown up with..

What ever the real reason was
~ it is party time,
family time,
HOLY Time,
Buy Gifts Time
Make gifts time...
get sad time...(for some)
get drunk time (for some)
Meditation time
Prayer time...
Goal Setting time for the new year...

What ever you do it is your choice...
I celebrate your right to make that choice...
I celebrate your path in consciousness raising celebration...

Happiest of Days...
