JESUS please tell me what page it ends on I am getting very tired and only on like page 36 maybe good lord it is long but so interesting.
Now I want to make a board just to comtact an alternate Earth beng (honestly I have tried in the distant past, already, with no luck!)
Also I don't have any understanding why no one has reached the conclusion that the Vedantic Mysteries are not somehow related to the "Vedas" Under
which fall the "vedanta" Which is also known as the Upanishads....I think there's a connection, but yet mommy says it isn't for our world. Perhaps it
isn't and the text just hasn't really been translated correctly?
There is a story in Mundaka Upanishad that runs like this: Once in a tree there were two birds, one at the upper branch, serene, majestic and
divine, and the other at a lower branch, restlessly pecking fruits, sometimes sweet sometimes bitter. Every time, when the restless bird ate a bitter
fruit, it looked at the upper bird and climbed a branch up. This occurred a number of times and eventually the bird reached the topmost branch. There
it was not able to differentiate itself from the divine bird, and then it learnt that every time there was only one bird in the tree, the upper bird,
which is described as divine, the real form of the other restless bird. This is the thought of Vedanta. The fruits in the story are Karma, the
restless bird denotes a human soul, and the majestic bird denotes the Absolute.
This kind of goes with the storry as well.^^^
Vedanta
