COMMENTARY: DISCIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN IN RELIGIONS
Why?
It is irrational! It is illogical! It is very sad -
to find bigotry and blatant discrimination against women
in religious books. One of our subscribers points out
that, like the Christian Bible, the Jewish Talmud has
some writings against women. He sent me the following
highly
controversial morning blessing from Talmud - Menahoth
43b-44a. "A Jewish man is obligated to say
the following prayer every day: "Thank you
God for not making me a gentile... a woman or a slave".
That
does not sound at all spiritual. Is it not about time
that denigrating words about women be changed? In the
past there were were religions which perceived deity
as a loving and benevolent Mother Goddess (see
video).
Humanity is evolving to a point where respect for equality
of gender and race are fundamental rights to be observed
by everyone around the world. Is it not time for all
religions to remove any discrimination and language
which offends? Read

REPORTER SPEAKS TOO SOON
IN CRITICISING REMOTE VIEWING
An American remote viewer was given only latitude and
longitude coordinates of a location 'somewhere in the
United States'. He successfully described
a secret facility in Virginia whose very existence was
highly classified. He was able to describe accurately
the facility's interior and was even able to correctly
sense the names of secret code words written on folders
inside locked cabinets. A skeptical reporter heard this
astonishing story and decided to check it out for himself.
He drove some 135 miles west-southwest of Washington DC
expecting to find the base camp and military equipment
... Instead he found "just a spare hillside, a few
flocks of sheep ... No secret military outpost ... "
The reporter tried to report that the remote viewer
was wrong. Later he was extremely embarrassed when it
was revealed that the secret facility was indeed at
the very spot where this reporter went to investigate
- but it was hidden deep underground!!!! (from Dr.Dean
Radin's The
Unconscious Universe p.99)

THIS LIFE PAST LIFE
Keith Parsons examines the evidence for past lives and
reincarnation. Specifically he looks at three 'hypnosis'
cases with wonderful veridical evidence. This indicates
they cannot be based simply on fantasy. He also examines
the spontaneous past life memories of small children,
with reference to the work of the late Professor Ian Stevenson
of the University of Virginia, and in particular to a
BBC documentary on Stevenson's work made in 1992.
GUARDIAN ANGELS "From
the moment of birth into
your world there is attached to every incarnating soul
a spiritual being who is, in effect, the guardian protector
... But always there is a unity of interest that makes
an attraction. As to how close that association becomes
is dependent upon the spiritual growth of the individual
in your world." Silver Birch, The
Spirit Speaks.
ARE THERE ANIMALS IN THE AFTERLIFE? Swedenborg

eighteenth-century scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg’s
vivid descriptions of animals in the afterlife.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE - QUESTION
Victor, religions do not say anything about how we live
in the afterlife. Since I just cannot see myself sitting
on my bum or kneeling praying all day and night, what
really happens, what do we do when we go to the afterlife?
Bill
Victor: Mainstream religions - except
Spiritualism - know nothing about what we do when we get
to the afterlife. Let me share what a credible afterlife
teacher, a former Catholic Monsignor, Hugh Benson, tells
us:
"...so
many souls of the earth world are almost shocked to be
told that the spirit world is a solid world, a substantial
world, with real, live people in it! They think that that
is far too material, far too like the earth world; hardly,
in fact one step removed from it with its spirit landscape
and sunshine, its houses and buildings, its rivers and
lakes, inhabited by sentient, intelligent beings. This
is no land of "eternal rest". There is rest
in abundance for those who need it. But when the rest
has restored them to full vigor and health, the urge to
perform some sensible, useful task rises with them, and
opportunities abound." More

ANIMAL CRUELTY QUESTION
If a scientist with good intentions is using
animals in his laboratory experiments in order to
help bring about a cure for some disease, will the scientist
have to pay the price for inflicting pain and cruelty
onto the animal?
Victor: Good question! First, whilst the motive
to help
others may be a good one, if a scientist is fully aware
and fully conscious that he/she is inflicting pain onto
the animal, the scientist will pay the price for that.
There is no justification for wilful cruelty to animals.
We are informed by highly credible teachers that there
will be found remedies for all our diseases, but they
will not be found by experiments on animals. See
alternatives
to animal testing.
