What Is Appropriate To You

Because we as a civilization, are still coming out of vast eras of Imperialism and physical conquest in some form -, be it through choking supply lines by strategic political machination, or outright military battle - what is almost always reflected as the most prized social values, is valor and heroism in the form of literal fighting.

'Adam's Peak' in Sri Lanka, where 'Adam'
first lived, after he was set out from the
enclosed compound
called 'Eden;' according to several religious
traditions, and the folklore of many 
different peoples.  

It just cropped up with me this week, and even some people around me have been commenting about some things coming through their social media feeds too, even in places like Quora - something to do with what is being presented as the Christian ethic about women covering their hair or the heads.

The thing went as far as presenting this whole idea about women simply always covering their heads, because according to the fable being told, Paul in 1 Corinthians had a lot to say about it...

...You know, that whole thing about who is the boss of whom.

So I had a big fight with a bunch of people on-line because I said to them: 'no such thing exists in Christianity at all.'

Naturally, there was an uproar.

And so I said, why are all of you refusing to quote the next sentence in the stuff you keep shoving at women - this verse here (1 Corinthians 11:16), which says: "But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God." (Have any such custom or rules).

We have... ...no such custom.

That's what the book actually says.

The full meanings of the entirety of the passages in question are far away from the comprehension of those who wish to forces their ideas onto women, and I am not really going to go into it here.

Rubinacci 'Gurkha pants.'

But what I do want to mention, is that it seems to be a habit of human society at large, that not long after someone comes and frees people's minds up from something, certain people just go right back and even use that very liberation itself, to force the same old ways to creep right back in, this time under the guise of the rubric of the very liberation matter itself.

In our own times they've done it with Freud, with Newton, and they are close to doing it with Einstein.

The Gurkha Army was effectively cast away in one of the most disgusting abuses of people's goodwill, by the UK government in relatively recent times, to the extent that only Singapore and Brunei now have authentic Gurkha units. 

But even so, I don't personally agree they even are 'Gurkha,' but only an imaginary version of what 'Gurkha' means.

'Gurkha' means followers of one of the Nine Saints of India (Navnath) - and these are different to the Seven Sages (Saptarishi), but even so, they possess supernatural powers; 'Gorakshanath' being a particular 'saint' (holy man, master of Divine Yoga), who is the originator of the lineage therefore, of 'Gurkha' disciples (IE of his teachings.)  

Killing and fighting is in fact, not, one of his teachings.

How the Gurkha soldiers acquired their literally second-to-none reputation as war fighters, was due to the idea that the disciples of Gorakshanath, did not fear death at all.

And there is a saying that 'anyone who says they do not fear death, is either lying, or a Gurkha.'

However, the fact is, that Gorakshanath, was someone outside of the laws of time, and appeared in different eras and in different places all over the world, to demonstrate and to underscore the teachings of Krishna after Krishna left the Earth the first time - and to spread his message of Love and the overcoming of obstacles in order (for people) to unite with Mahavishnu or Shiva or Shakti.

I myself do promote the union with Shakti (Shakti-yoga), and in this regard I could say a few things about that passage by Paul in 1 Corinthians. The passage has to do with 'women prophesying' - and being originally a strict orthodox Jew, Paul was obviously aware (unlike many people today) of what that actually meant in terms of Hebrew customs.

Within the portable goatskin tent called 'the Tabernacle/Holy of Holies,' as I have made mention of here before not too long ago - the Shekinah descended following the ritual sacrifice of Frankincense smoke, and only certain priest class or caste people, some of whom were women, would receive messages from the Shekinah which then became the prophecies for the next year, to the Jews.

As you know, Joanna Lumley's
father's life was saved by this Gurkha.

At a certain point though, and due to some extended term of various Hebrew leaders disobeying the prophecies, the Shekinah left the Tabernacle and did not return.

During the time of Paul, the view was that the Shekinah had returned to the Christian 'sect,' as the rest of the Jews would have called it.

Thus, in all events, Paul was talking expressly about a specific occasion, and a specific 'ritual' in which certain things happened, one of which being that actual 'angels' were seen to  descend accompanying the Shekinah.

What is this 'Shekinah?'

Well, there is the Sun - this is a star in our solar system, and it burns and propagates light which you can see and which makes other things visible; then, the light energy also produces heat, which you cannot see, but which you can feel.

Now unless you are (that is, have been) in some place where you yourself have felt the heat - so to speak - of some actual Divine Source, you have not ever been to a Christian ritual...

And what does heat do? Well, it can warm food, cook food, boil water to make coffee -, in short, it produces thermal effects.

Divine effects, are supernatural things, such as miracles.

And unless you have experienced supernatural, that is, actual miraculous things, you have not been in contact with the Shekinah.

Or with Shakti. 

For that matter.

...And you are not a real Gurkha, unless you have.

Shakti and Shekinah are the same thing, because, as was just mentioned, 'Gorakshanath is outside of the laws of time, and appears in different ages at different places in the Earth, but to procure the same outcomes that Krishna ordered...'

All Christians MUST be yoked (is the actual term used in the New Testament), to the Shekinah.

This is called 'Shakti-Yoga' - 'yoga' as you know, simply meaning 'yoked.'
