believe what you want I address what you write, when it is coherent, and dignified. I choose to converse with the Nungali the Man. Not Nungali the jackal, not the Nungali the hornet. Not Nungali the two-year-old.

It doesn't matter... You and I both gave the same answer. Judaism is my knowledge base. I declared it as a qualifier. I didn't make a universal assertion, because, I don't know what I don't know. I knew its approx. origin in the Jewish record. So I shared that information. I was asked a question. I answered it the best way that I could without over-reaching outside the area of my expertise.

You're a bit fixated on this?

A perfectly valid point of view. There's other ways to feed the mind... or not. Daosim is great because it has a physical exercise component which many practice. Some consider it religious or spiritual, but, it's not necessary. It also has a non-religious philosophical component.

The first year will be important milestone. But after that, you will have probably anchored and sealed your recovery.

Look at that beauty. It's weird and wonderful. When you were mentioning getting myself some strange parts I was thinking back to my veggie-mobile. A 79 Mercedes 240d. Trashed, totally trashed, I bought it for practically nothing. It was recovered from a flood. But I rigged to run on veggie oil. It ran for about 3 years before the transmission died. But it was strange, for sure. It smelled like french-fries running down the road. I used clean peanut oil. From Costo.

That was the only point I was making to Nungali. You and I agreed it would be good to look at both sides. Regarding Unity in Diversity, that gives me an idea for a thread topic.

NN asked when it appeared in the Jewish record. The answer I gave was correct. It matched yours, except mine was not so irrationally certain. But that didn't stop you from contradicting yourself, because your attention span is stunted, probably more-so while you are online ... hunting.

You didn't agree that it would be good to see both sides of the issue?

That's because you've lost touch of the conversation OldBob and I were having. He and I agreed it would be good to present both sides if possible. Do you disagree with this? If so, do you want/need me to review with you the matter which we were discussing which very likely has 2 viewpoints?

I have a choice? He's not engaging. What are my choices?

Do I have a choice?

Theosophy

He replied. If he didn't want to engage in conversation, that's his choice. If he replies, I'm probably going to take that as an invitation to engage.

OldBob was quoting: "Mahatma Letter – Number 59, Received London about July, 1883."

boring... You seem to have missed the point.

Please remind me? Lord Ganehsa is happy? Unusually? Friendly? Please share what's significant *for you* about Lord Ganesha?

Perky. I see the resemblance. "Ready to serve you, madame."

It's beautiful. No body mods needed. Natural.

Well. I agree, to an extent. But there's a problem. It's like we're both climbing up the same mountain. And we're climbing higher and higher. As we are going, the terrain gets steeper and more precarious. As the two traditions are approaching the summit, one of us slips and falls... Alllllllllllll the way down. The conclusion of the mystical tradition in Hinduism is the realization that all is Brahma including the Hindu adherent. The conclusion of the mystical tradition in Judaism, is completely opposite. I'm not God and neither are you. There's a corresponding similar conflict between pantheism and panentheism. On paper they look like they should be similar. Panentheism is just an extension of Pantheism? No. Not at all. Panthesim is a closed system. Panentheism is an open system. The point is, this isn't a linear progression where the two paths can walk along together and then their points of departure are superficial. The point of departure is taking a step off the cliff. Not that I'm right and they're falling off the cliff. I'm not evaluating them as wrong, at all. I'm just saying they are very different where it counts. And that's the destination. The two mystical traditions are going to two totally different places but are taking the same road to get there.

Sure. It would still be better to have both sides represented.

Did you quote a kabalist? It would be good to hear from an insider, a kabalist, whether or not the 6 pointed star is a "seal" of solomon. Lots of people talk about kabalah without practicing it or being taught.

It's impossible to know for sure where it came from. Agnosticism is rational. Gnosticism is a farce. You don't know what you don't know. It's absolutely true.

That's what the ignore feature is for. You want to bury your head in the sand? Go ahead. You want to make work for the moderators? Do as you will.
