What is Your Burning Life Question?

There are so many paths, sects, cults even within one religion or spiritual tradition that its is naturally confusing and worrisome for anyone to step into any path for longterm. But if you hold on to your question and trust your own mind and intutive guidance from within, you can surely guide yourself from moment to moment what is right for you now.

See my reflection page on what Bible, Buddha or Gandhi said about Truth.

Also see what Krishnamurty said about Truth and Buddha' Kalama sutra on this question of what or who to believe.

“Those, who shall be a lamp unto themselves, shall betake themselves to no external refuge, but holding fast to the Truth as their lamp, and holding fast to the Truth as their refuge, they shall reach the topmost height.” - Buddha's Farewell Message to Ananda

“How do we create more equity in this world without completely dismissing historically unfair acts?   it seem that the conflicts are always reactions to perceived injustices that have not been resolved properly.”

Here is the choice. If we are stuck in the past “perceived injustices” and victimisation that is what we will keep recreating and repeating - getting free of past is the begining of personal and collective transformation.

History or “His Story” taught in schools is only one version of many versions (minority or commoner's views often suppressed) that happened. That version is written by whoever is ruling or holding power at the time. ......

Do we care to know how many millions were Killed in the invisible third world war or about those not known to be enslaved.  If this is happening in recent times, can you imagine how much glorious history of humanity/christianity/Black and non-white civilizations has been distorted or suppressed, by burning the Libraries like the ancient library of Alexandria or kept hidden under secret vatican archives. Few of us care to look deep enough to know the whole truth.

And who amongst us can say that I have never felt violated in some way? Even Buddha and Christ could not escape it. When the movie Color of Fear was shown in a diverse community group, I was surprised ....

What we need to do is to emphasize the perennial philosophy and essence of all religions. ... shift our human existence from tribal perspective to planetary even cosmic perspective.
