You know what invisiblewoman, my thoughts exactly!
Why would a supposedly 'enlightened' or illuminated (by knowledge) being, human or otherwise, be part of a centuries old plan to subjugate, murder,
destroy etc etc. In fact, most of what we read about these people or beings, is that they really are not the sort of people to invite home for a nice
civilized cup of tea!
But why?
Is this the pinnacle of human advancement? Is this what the buddist monks strive for? The perfection they seek is mayhem and destruction? No, of
course it isn't!
Calling one's self illuminated (or in other words, lit by the light of knowledge) and subscribing to a philosophy that encompasses all of the
negativisms associated with them and written about them, is illogical.
It makes no sense, it's a contradiction in terms. Illumination that embraces the darkness??!
If they truely were knowledgable and illuminated, they would be working towards bringing all of humanity towards that goal, not keeping it for
themselves. Selfishness is not an illuminated ideal - full stop.
spikey.
