what you believe is wrong, what I know is right

The image above is a representation of some posters on zaadz. This is what happens when dogma says your way is wrong.

Recently there was a post in a pod it said "calling all mystics." The title intrigued me, so I went to read the various posts. At the time I hadn't picked up on it. This post was more of a clever little advertisement for a group on msn groups. The person posting decided to tell other mystics that they must do something. A dangerous path to take.

Initially I responded to this post. I shared some of the powerful aspects of spirit. The reality of things that go beyond head knowledge. Philosophy, and Theology are nice. Most often those systems stomp out the creative aspects of G-d. This frustrates me a lot. Often people think of G-d in the black and white world that they project. G-d in my opinion is not left or right brained. If we are in the image of spirit. Then I think that spirit definitely has the same duality of the logic and creative. If this didn't happen I doubt the big bang would have ever happened. Spirit would have never said "let there be light."

The thread I speak of at first glance. Represented mystics and their experience. After Someone thanked me for my entry on that thread. I followed the link and read some of the posts. I am amazed how many people expect others to adapt their philosophy. This is just wrong and dangerous in my opinion. Rather than speaking of their own mystical experiences. Some rigid religious doctrine was inserted. Telling people what they need to do or believe. Even the initial poster of this thread gave orders on how to be a mystic.

Mankind is connected better than ever before. News travels in minutes rather than days or months. One can talk to a relative on the other side of the globe while both are in a park. But we still can't come together and meet in the middle. We don't have to all think alike. That is fundamentalism. A draconian form of thinking that many Americans pretend to not be a part of. I speak for Americans because I am not intensely familiar with other nations.

I rarely tell others "you must do this." It is an arrogant position to take. to decide what is best for other peoples paths. Zaadz message is "out to change the world." I fear even this motto. I do understand what Brian and fellow zaadzters meant by this. The problem is it in itself could become a rigid form of thinking. Telling others how to change the world. Rather than inspiring one another how to make their communities better.

This is why I am single today. Every time I try to date someone. They want to control my mind and spirit. Telling me how to think. Rather than just coexisting and appreciating each other. Just two days ago I was in a chat room. A guy sent me a private instant message. I gave him my links for my music. He immediately started telling me how he could make it better. He had no music experience. Did not perform in public. Never took the time to learn an instrument. I doubt he even would have had the stamina to rehearse daily. Yet  he still thought himself an expert on the topic.

A person with no experience, has no right to tell another. That what they are doing is wrong. That those feelings and experiences are rooted in devils and hell. These same people generally follow the teachings of Jesus. Problem is, they haven't taken the time to look at the gospels. To see that he both was mystical, and told others they could be as well. If Jesus were around today teaching such things. Those who claim to be followers, would have hung him instantly. These types destroy others spiritually. Jesus had to make a bunch of holy believers to leave the room. They didn't want to believe that he had the ability to do a miracle. I find that odd. That A Christian, which means to be Christ like. Doesn't believe in the awesome power of Spirit. G-d can do anything with anyone. So Please get off your high horse and let spirit work in others. Leave them alone, you won't have so many arteries blocking up inside your body.

It happens spiritually in conversation. you mention something that happened in spirit. Then that person craps in your ear, telling you it wasn't real. Just because they never experienced it with G-d. This modern dogma is the downfall of man. When will we learn that this is why war exists? Could this be a major reason that we are in the middle east right now? Forcing our ideals on another nation or sovereign country? No matter how you look at it. we have implemented a modern Coup on  them for our own selfish interests. That is the problem with folk who want to make others believe their way. Self centered narcissistic high chair tyrant believers end up attacking others.

I've witnessed some of the more subtle approaches too. Recently I spoke of some of the variables between Israelis and Palestinians. A poster responded with her political beliefs. Rather than what I was speaking about. That the average Israeli and Palestinian wasn't at war with each other. It was based on a friend's opinion after she lived there. I doubt the responder was ever in the middle east. But seemed to be an expert on the topic. I had to remove the comment. It was more a political statement than an thoughtful response.

I've noticed this trend. People posting their opinions on what others are saying. Generally ignoring the questions or expressing how they are. Instead they would rather tell another how wrong they are. Welcome to your war. Go ahead and destroy each other. But please, don't ask how we got to that destruction.
