War and the Uld


The war in Iraq certainly goes directly against the principles of compassion and justice, as all wars do, and must. The rationalizations and justifications are very flimsy and somewhat transparent. The greed is just too gigantic and blatant to hide behind mere pretty words! Politicians will not change during our lifetimes to follow the Way of Love, although, in time, they must.

Those who are obsessed with greed have no room in their psyches for other-centeredness. One thing is certain: We cannot "liberate" others until or unless we are ourselves a liberated and free people!

Re our egroup: Even double Sagittarians need not fear being "caught" or "trapped," for people are free to join and unjoin and join and unjoin as often as they wish. We represent not any particular religion, but the Way of life called the "Way of Love," the "Enlightenment Tradition," "the Love-tradition," or, "mysticism." This is the farthest thing from a cult, as it represents the very best in universal spirituality.
Historically, it is the most ancient tradition of spirituality on our planet. It has included the greatest mastersages of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as of Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and various nature-based faiths. Again, it is universal, open to all traditions, and to all people, free of bigotry, exclusivity, and other
imperfections of religion.

We have zero political agenda, and no concrete or conformist dogmas! Freedom in spirituality is the essence of our entire message! We could not be compared even conceptually to any limiting philosophy or, much less, to an organization, religion, or cult! We have nothing in common with any of these.

The uld ("Universal Love Digest") is nothing more than a kind of education-sheet. It can be seen also as a sharing-opportunity on which you can place any psychospiritual idea. This allows others openmindedly to consider it! No hidden traps, trapdoors, or springs, no secret shackles, no limitations, no gimmicks!

But if you choose not to share, that, too, is, of course, okay. But at this present troubled time in our history, the words keep coming back: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing." The egroup recognizes no "nonmenbers," as it is universal. Anyone can send an email anytime. It is not something that you "join," except in the sense that you might choose to "join" a group of friends having fun. It is our way of not doing nothing!
