Worlds Beyond

Hi Heretic,

thanks for your post.. firstly I want to humbly apologise, to Kassopia, if I came across as starting a fire.. (was I?? Gulp!) .. or being judgemental in any way at all... that certainly wasn't how I was feeling/intending when I wrote my post.... I really felt more saddened and shocked to be honest.. and really wanted to try and open up understanding/discussion (both ways) of what had been posted...

I tried to put across my feeling as carefully as possible, with my wording, to show that, and to explain that these are my personal views and beliefs, and that there are many things we cannot be so clear cut about... as we just don't know while we're down here... but I am really sorry if it didn't read quite as intended, or has caused any upset/offence.

Heretic, I agree with a lot of what you say.. we just don't know how some things work or why.. I think I was trying to make exactly that point.. ... I am deeply spiritual in some senses, but totally down to earth in others... and tend to speak what I'm feeling ... ooops!

I'm not religious, although I have at various points in my life read quite a bit of the major religious texts.. from Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, also Sufism, Gnostiscm and Essenes... but am not attached nor a follower/upholder of any religion or doctrine.... and wouldn't wish to come across that way either... but I DO care deply about the state of this world and humanity... and personally feel this is a part of why we are all here.. but like I said, that's just my views.. my personal journey...

I do have some understanding and belief in the concepts of non-attachment.. was trying to explain I don't think of it/apply it in the same way as Kassopeia... that doesn't make anyone 'right' or 'wrong', just different perceptions and interpretations...... but anyway..

I'm so sorry if my post has raised any tension for anyone.. that wasn't my intent.. I was genuinely feeling more shocked and sad by K's words than anything.. and I take full ownership of my own feelings/reaction to someone else's views... I'm no expert on anything.. at all.. and, like most of us, am trying to seek understanding as much as gain it!

Peaceful Blessings
