Hi, Cass: SB is a friend of a local long-time theosophist and it may be that he had read some of the theosophical literature as well as influenced by the conversations had with this theosophist. It should make some of to think for ourselves!!!

Great posting, I agree that there has never been a better time for the world to do the hokey pokey. (Seeing I am in it now) We must save ourself and stop looking for the Messiah or Christ who is going to die for our sins. But where do we start?
In the name of the 7 Holy Rishis, Tao and Christ, Amen.

Swami Beyondananda's New Year Message:
"Let's Declare a State of Emerge 'n See ...

In this dogma-eat-dogma world where fear is fueled by terrorism -- not to
mention antiterrorism -- I say it's time to declare all out peace. Those of
us who've been developing inner peace all these years, time to let it all
out. Time to affirm everyone's right to bear arms -- provided those arms
are used for hugging. And this year, instead of commemorating an attack,
let's celebrate an embrace.

Let's declare an emerge 'n see. Time to emerge from beliefs that no longer
serve us and see how we humans have been tricked into behaving foolishly.
Time to emerge 'n see beyond the dueling dualities to find solutions bigger
than the problem. Time to emerge n' see there's no escape. God has
us surrounded. Might as well surrender. We are all part of the inescapable
Oneness.

One Spirit, many paths. One Planet, great diversity. One humanity, each of
us totally unique ... just like everyone else.

I have often said that if we keep doing what we've always done, we will
only get what we've always gotten. It stands to reason that if we try doing
something new, we increase our chances of getting different results. So
while it makes no sense to take up arms against warfare, it makes all the
sense in the world to lift up arms and embrace anything that nourishes peace.

Now in this shrinking world that could definitely use a good shrink, it is
understandable to look upward in hopes of the Messiah. But I say, we need
to look at each other instead, and face the truth that we are looking the
Messiah in the face. We have met the Savior and he is us! Here are all
these children of God praying for Jesus to intervene, but we cannot expect
to be fed intravenously forever. Time for children of God to grow up, for
Goodness sake, and become adults of God instead.

I have a dream, so allow me to tell a vision. Each year at Passover, the
Jewish people affirm the possibility of the Messiah: "Next year in
Jerusalem." Next year always comes, and the Messiah never seems to come
with it. Maybe it's time to make a break with the past and actually act as
if the Messiah is already here. You know, fake it till you make it.
Hold this vision with me please: Leaders of the Christian, Jewish and
Muslim faiths together in celebration -- doing the Hokey Pokey. They put
their whole selves in ... that is commitment. They pull their whole selves
out ... that is detachment. They turn themselves around ... that is
transformation. And that's what it's all about!

Now this may seem implausible to you, ridiculous even. But I tell you
what. It beats the heaven out of what we've been doing.
