Quote of the Day – November 19 2011

“When a baby is born it’s God’s opinion that there’s room for one more avatar in the world”
–Stephen Gaskin

Love the quote, even with the undefined (need for agreement on what the terms mean or at least an understanding for what they mean to each of the people present in order for there to be meaningful communication) terms God and avatar. I love the concept that every single person born has the potential to become a spiritual master, or perhaps is one already.

A quote or paragraph from a conversation on FB today. A friend of mind posed a question to the group about whether it was rich to accuse another of heresy or ostracize them because they disagree with what the other members of the group believe. I put my two cents in:

“It seems counter-productive at best to do so. It assumes not only that we know and understand all but that our assumptions are all correct. I would find that boring. One of my favourite books Illusions by Richard Bach has a book within it called the Messiah’s Handbook-Lessons that one would find useful on the way to Spiritual Mastery. The last page in the book says “Everything in this book may be wrong”.
No matter how much i learn, from books, from others, even from direct apprehension I add that tagline to.
I might not have the comfort of KNOWING all the answers but I find life ever so much more interesting that way.”
Namaste
