Hello Kelly, we have not met before, but my name is Chen Lung. I am the Chief Administrator for the Brotherhood of the Hidden Eye. We are a small organization that is locally based, but we roam over a large trans-D area hunting those beats that would hunt in our home dimension. And, although I am ra...

Li - it seems as though you would like to attribute evil to the ways of men while allowing the good men do to stem the tide of the dark to those 'higher powers.' Men do horrible things to one another for horrible reasons. Men do wonderful things for one another for wonderful reasons. Demons never le...

I have been otherwise engaged in a holding action defending the mundane world from invading forces. Three thousand have sacrificed themselves to seal the breach. My own sad, everlasting condition has kept me from joining my brothers in this heroic action (don't get me wrong here, I stood with them, ...

It is simply the misuse of the word truth in the religious sense that causes the problem. Religion is not about "Truth" it is about belief where science is not about "Belief" it is about truth.

I would disagree, Cheng. If one doesn’t control her thoughts, she will find them being controlled by another. I didn't say not to control your thoughts. I said to shed learning and discover the Truth within you. Break your habits and escape your conditioning. Once you have discovered the source of ...

Kwan-yin (Avalokitesvara), the Goddess of Mercy, is sometimes represented with one thousand arms, each holding a different instrument. If her mind stops with the use, for instance of a spear, all the other arms (999) will be of no use whatever. It is only because of her mind not stopping with the us...

Why do you, as an individual, depend upon thousands of years of propaganda? Ideals, principles, the "what should be" leads to hypocrisy. Drop and dissolve your inner blockage. A conditioned mind is never a free mind. Wipe away and break down all your experience and be "born anew."...

My Brotherhood and I fight the same entities as you fight; however, I would not go to the "man on the street" with my tales of the supernatural for I would be thought mad. I too know what I have fought (and continue to fight), but without evidence (repeatable and scrutinizing proof), our b...

Try a book entitled: Misquoting Jesus, The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Way, by Bart D. Ehrman.

But belief is NOT proof that something exists. So your belief in heaven does NOT prove it exists. Stay open to the idea that it could, but don't become trapped in that desire for it to exist. If those who lead you say, "Look, the kingdom is in heaven," then the birds of heaven will precede...

Trying to stay scientific? Try this then: Theories should not be any more complex than necessary. Or as William Occam put it:

"(Theories) should not multiply entities unnecessarily."

This known as Occam's Razor.

Buddha shows A path to truth, not THE path. There is no path to Truth; it is a pathless road. A road that is not a road. It is total expression that has no before or after. How can there be methods and systems by which to arrive at something that is living? To that which is static, fixed, dead, ther...

I am reminded of the words of Mohandas Ghandi: "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." Too often Christ is misquoted so that a "Christian" can lead other people to do what he wants them to do not what Christ would have said ...

This story just shows that more people would rather believe in supernatural influences than in physical forces and social effects. It would seem that Americans would rather live in ignorance than in knowledge. It is, however, up to us to live in knowledge, to protect their right to be ignorant if th...

"Herd Mentality" is a misnomer. We are not herd animals, we are pack animals -- family animals. We desire to be accepted; we desire to be loved. We desire not to be outcast. The outcast is eaten by wolves. When we are outcast from one group, we quickly seek out a new group of which to belo...

Those of us who have chosen to stand in the dark and look to the light are like the philosophers from the Allegory of the Cave. We were once at peace with our knowledge of the world and our place in it, but something happened that took us away from that peace. Now, we have two options: go back to tr...

Multi-dimensional physics is a lot to try to fit our old mythologies into. Maybe we should all go to a local college and take classes on the primary subject before we attempt to squeeze a secondary subject into the first. Recently, I have been transformed into a creature of myth, something I never b...

"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." It is a nice idea, but all it does is make one blind to the probems of the world. It is my opinion that when evil is understood it will be seen; when it is seen it must be worked against; and that is when it will change itself so that it must be ...

Recently, I and my knights have returned from a dimension that very much resembled the Hell of Western Legend. Things there were absolutely NOT static. Here, at home again, I can tell you that much of the time when you think you have crossed a bridge a short time before, your perceptions and memory ...

The problem with this is that this person is merely reading into these ancient ideas and saying that those people of old had the knowledge that we are JUST discovering today. What they had was the same human brain as we have today. Science merely follows a system of discovery and examination it does...

Cybermancer, and anyone else willing to heed a warning.

I believe my earlier post is intimately related to this one.

Please do not disregard or trivialize either.

In my earlier post, I quoted my grandfather, Wei Hu Feng: "To meet one's fate he need but remain at home; to find one's destiny is as easy as going to the far side of the valley." In the end, humans all die (I hope to someday), but the question is: Do you sit idly by and let the problems a...

Recently, my Order was given information that a previously unreported magical "flare" had been sensed by a local medicine man in Vietnam. He said the energy felt like it was being used in the village next to his, but when he cast a spell to find it he seemed to feel as though it was much f...

January 26, 1971 – first mysterious death of fisherman. He was found in the water near his gear naked, with his clothes in a pile near the gear. There was no look or signs of struggle and most witnesses of the body said he looked extremely peaceful. April 18, 1977 – Second fisherman is found floati...

Just a quick stop. My Brotherhood is firmly entrenched in Southeast Asia currently, if all goes as planned I will brief the society in the next few days. Please forgive. In my homeland we have a saying, "To meet one's fate he need but remain at home; to find one's destiny is as easy as going to...

Sorry, it's another long one. Master Lung... With your definition of prophecy, I do not believe they exist at all. You are right; the future is always changing, always moving, always malleable. We determine our own futures, and shape and change them through our actions. There can *never* be any kind...

What space between "what is" and "what should be"? What is, simply is. How do we define "should be"? When a man buys a kimono and is angry because he claims the kimono "should be" blue, when it is in fact red, is he angry because the kimono is not as it "...

Li, is this how you show enlightenment, to challenge others to show their own ignorance? Is it not better to act as the universe allows, thereby allowing that they can find their own way without so many eddies in the flow? How does this stirring of the waters lead to greater enlightenment? The peopl...

I am Chen Lung of the family Wei, I am the Dragon of Change, I am of warrior blood a thousand years strong before it ever came to me. I have 2,000 years of training, combat, and learning. I have the Way and the Power. I have the Great Library of the Sages in the Hall of the Hidden Eye. I learn; I am...

Very well; I apologize for my misunderstanding Mr Caliburn. I only wish to reinforce that "Prophecy" is absolute and cannot be avoided, while those events that are foretold and never happen are simply bad attempts at fortune-telling. Until an event happens it is merely predictions; and pre...
