[QUOTE="JimRinX, post: 115899, member: 6872"] [b]Re: Meet Our SPNer in Focus - Lee Douglas[/b] Dear: Sikh Rolyalist I'm afraid you 'have me' - for I must admit that I've read MUCH of the Guru Granth Sahib, as well as a smattering of other Important Works of the Sikh Faith, most of this came to me in a rather abbreiviated form; in fact, the most informative book of them all was 'An Introduction to Sikhism' - written be a very loving Sikh Woman (sorry, I don't recall her [I]exact[/I] name; but it's probably in most English Lauguage Print Databases) - as it Truly Impressed Me; or, in other words, I've yet to get the [B][I]entire[/I] [/B]Guru Granth sahib off of my 'Read This' List - which is often dozens of books long. I was atrracted to SPN because of this; as I've read many, many books on Religion, Philosophy, Mysticism, Physics - everything! - and the Sikh Faith appeals to my sense of the 'oneness' of all Faiths - and my Belief that The Great Formless One was behind, at one time or another, the formation of All Beliefs; even if many a False 'God King' and corrupt Theocracy has sullied the orginal beliefs, inspired through mystic communion, of the Founding Saint/Prophet/Seer/Avdhoot/Messiah/Guru/Etc.. After all; I said that I've always considered myself a [U]MAHAYANA[/U] Buddhist - and we're not [I]properly[/I] labeled 'Atheist', like most Theravadas at least 'sound' when they talk about 'no clear light' or 'no Formless Realm'; as where, exactly, do you think the 'Great Formless One' resides? Where Mahayana Buddhist go - to be Judged - when we Die; it's where I KNOW I'll 'visit' long enough to select my next Incarnation - as I 'Made A Deal' with The Great Formless One eons of lifetimes ago; I have to 'Work For It' - a Higher Incarnation, that is. I've promise to read ALL of the Guru Granth Sahib [I]just for you[/I], Sikh Royalist ji; but I also want YOU to read Thomas Paines "Common Sense" & "The Age of Reason" - the influence that Thomas Paine had upon America is one of the main reasons we have suffered through [I]very[/I] [I]little[/I] [I]internal[/I] [I]conflcit (just one Civil War - which was very just, as it was not only fought to abolish slavery, it also make a point - about the Value of The Principles of Thomas Paine!)[/I], as well as why some of the less ignorant Americans - the ones who've actually read Marx, instead of cursing him out of pure ignorance, say - are so 'proud' of our Form of Governance. But then Thomas Paine was a Great Guru if I've ever read of one. Have you ever read The Avesta? The (better say "Holy" - so my Muslim friends won't get upset!) Quran? The Bible? Any Sutras? Lao Tzu? Confuscius? Plato? Any of the Ghitas? Vedas? Upanishads? I envy people who speak Hindi or Punjabi - that has to make dealing with so many very [I]un-western [/I]names so much easier! [/QUOTE]
