I trust Muslim that you will not be paying too much, if any, attention to Happeh's remarks. He thinks that because I have challenged him on his belief in a Jewish plan for world domination that I am pro-Israeli. This will come as a significant shock to my Muslim wife. I am for peace and I am opposed to extremism. Trite, but true.Happeh said:Careful Muslim. Ophiolite is pro Israel.
I should like to echo a remark by spidergoat: the introduction of the 'third eye' is muddying the waters. My reaction to your earlier thread was hostile because you appeared very much to be a typical new world nutter who believes in the physical reality of a third eye. [I have had my fill of chakras and kundilinis.]
I think Duendy's objection centres on what she sees as an inappropriate criticism of things material. Christianity talks of the sins of the flesh; you are speaking of purifying oneself spiritually, as if the corruption of the soul has come from the physical. Duendy believes that the physical is important as a positive route to the soul, whether this is through hallucinogenic drugs, vigorous sex, or simply being. She does not wish to purify some of the material that has, from your viewpoint, corrupted her inner being. She believes some of it has strengthened it, and that the guilt that is being invoked is part of a patriarchal conspiracy inherent in the three Abrahamic religions to suppress and oppress humanity in general and women in particular.
[Do I have it correct Duendy?]
