"not being at the expense of others" leads to judgments that karmic processes in accordance with law are both unnecessary and childish and that we are better off in the long-run by being our brother's keeper, so to speak.

Not clear to me, are you saying thoughts to avoid mistreating others leads to discounting or misunderstanding karmic process?

If we are what we believe,



...then it is fundamental that we are subject to the consequence of perhaps existing under an oppressive authoritarian regime

If we want to sift for a high message in it, I think it is a rebuking of not being "married" to the most high aspects, for our own welfare, for we know that engaging lower mayas leads to suffering, if for no other reason than impermanence.

Marriage addresses the problem of jealousy amongst the masses imo which harkens back to authoritarianism.

Or maybe in this case, the jealousy of God. And mentioned about the lower qualities of the pantheons, we can see them how we will, but to me it is not a sattvic, or pure, or a particularly useful view of God. What use is God if we don't take useful views of Him/Her? That I agree with. The qualities of the archetypes we largely paint ourselves. How we see them reflects our desire and how we can see to make use of them, or dismiss them. No judgement on not using archetypes.

If variety is the spice of existence then we could perceive a God willing to experience vulnerability.

John 10:34 "ye are gods"

Perhaps Thuggery would blossom amongst his associates while in the vulnerable state.

As a test of allegiance this would have some value.

Not really original but I have thought this is how universes may be created - spiritual powers rising up with aspects of desire. Increases in powers of imagination with meditative practices brings new light to the thought. Imagination is just that, however it is said creations are not different from imaginings in the nature of consciousness.

Creator intellects saying, whoops! I think that is among the reasons why Brahma got in trouble, not having temples and such in these ages. Perhaps not for creating itself, but bringing in desires about it.

Who is not enchanted and tied in to the psychic knots?

Thank you. So you reveal you are a Zen person? I will read from that school.

The elven king Thranduil said it was real. He had become without love, absorbed in selfishness for his kingdom. He sort of came around to acknowledge love seeing it in his children, but apparently not for himself, though he appeared to shed a tear.

The Light of Eärendil



Navigators on the melange spice from a world where dreadful worms can be controlled = Dune

Gollum regrets the loss of the 'spice' and perhaps the perspective of the story is the denunciation of the Light by those who prefer control thru bloodshed.

Certainly the innocent mushroom seeking Merry from the Shire rejoices in the opportunity to be a fighter.

The Dark Lord Soar-On is then God from the perspective of the thuggees.

The light of the Two Trees, or the sun and the moon, ida and pingala. The star must also be the sushumna nadi, or the third eye where they join.

Predating spinach Popeye the mariner received his power from a magic Whifle hen. Perhaps whiffle is derived from wife and being kind to the wife brings good luck.

There can be a difference between what I believe and reality. I'm shuffling thru associations in the dark.

There are gods guarding the gates. My coffee and barbecue chips do not convince them. But it reminded me it's good to be in a mood of offering.

LOL, I moved to an island to escape temptations and discovered abandoned homesites where tools lay gathering rust for decades and gathered them up to put to use fixing roads and drainage. Needlessly to say my wickedness was discovered and retorted by "Private property" to which I responded "My house is your house, what's mine is yours and if what goes around comes around then your house is my house and what's yours is mine." They were not convinced.
