September 3, 2003 Greetings dear subscribers of: http://finalbookofdaniel.com I hope you are all making an attempt to live in the spirit, with peace, Joy and Love. I promised to keep in touch with readers so here goes something which has been on my mind. I've been in a state of spiritual depression which involves a spiritual warfare between the forces of darkness and the forces of light. I have not yet attained ultimate ascension. All of you will deal with this in due time and it is my hope that I can make your travels less burdensome. I strongly suggest to those who "have a problem" with reincarnation to visit Kevin William's NDE site at: http://www.near-death.com and read what he has to say on the topic. Specifically go to: http://near-death.com/origen.html . Reincarnation is a divine reality folks...accept it. Some things are true whether you believe in them or not. Take it from people who've been to the other side of life and death. I know because I've had more than one NDE. The top recommended scripture I give you is not the Bible or Koran, but the Bhagavad Gita. It is the diamond of all scriptures in the search for God. It is from India. Below is chapter 16 of the Gita concerning divine versus demonic natures and qualities of men. I hope you are one born with the divine natures listed here. It took me a while to type this out so enjoy! ************************************* THE YOGA OF DISTINCTION BETWEEN LIBERATING AND BINDING CONDITIONS Chapter 16 of the Bhagavad Gita The Blessed one (Krishna) said: 1. Fearlessness, essential purity of being, perseverance in the yoga of wisdom, Charity and self-control and sacrifice, study of the Vedas (Indian scriptures), austerity, rectitude, 2. Nonviolence, truth, freedom from anger, Relinquishment, peace, lack of malice, Sympathy for beings, freedom from covetousness, Gentleness, modesty, absence of fickleness, 3. Vigor, forbearance, firmness, Cleanliness, loyalty, absence of overweening pride: These belong to one whose birth is of a divine condition, O Bharata. 4. Hypocrisy, insolence, overweening pride and anger, Harshness and ignorance: These are the endowments of one born of a demonic condition, O son of Prtha. 5. The divine endowments are said to lead to release; The demonic to bondage. Do not grieve, O Pandava, You are born with divine endowments, (Best circumstances for gaining freedom) 6. In this world there are two kinds of beings, the divine and the demonic. The divine has been spoken of at length; Hear me now, o son of Prtha, concerning the demonic. 7. Demmen know neither action nor its cessation, Neither purity nor good conduct, nor truth is in them. 8. They say that the world is without truth, Without a foundation, a Lord; That it is not produced by orderly complementary union, But that it is produced by (the pursuit of) pleasure. 9. Relying on this view, such men, Lost in self, small in mind, cruel in deed, March forth as enemies, Pledged to the destruction of the world. 10. surrendering to insatiable desire, Full of wantonness and arrogance and hypocrisy, Holding obscure views through delusion, These men act with impure resolve. 11. Clinging to innumerable concerns whose only end is death, Completely dedicated to the enjoyment of desire, They are convinced that this is all. 12. Bound by hundreds of fetters of desire, Dedicated to lust and anger, They strive for the gaining of wealth even unjustly For the gratification of their desire. 13. "This I have won today;that desire I will obtain; This is mine; this wealth will become mine. 14. I have slain that foe, and I will slay others besides; I am lord and enjoyer, I am perfect and strong and happy. 15. I am wealthy and well born. Who else is like me? I will sacrifice, I will give, I will rejoice." Thus speak those deluded by ignorance. 16. Bewildered by many thoughts, enmeshed in the net of delusion, Given over to the gratification of desires, They fall into a foul hell. 17. Self-deluded, hard-headed, full of arrogance and pride of wealth, They offer sacrifice in name only, Hypocritically and against all the prescribed rules. 18. Taking their "I" literally, full of might, insolence, desire, anger: These malicious men show hatred toward me (Krishna) In their own bodies and those of others. 19. These men, hostile, cruel, foul, the lowest of men, I am forever hurling into demonic wombs In the cycle of existence. 20. Having fallen into demonic wombs, these deluded ones, From birth to death, having failed to reach me, They go to the lowest of place, O son of Kunti. 21. This is the threefold gateway to hell, the ruin of a self: Desire, anger and greed. Therefore, one should abandon these three. 22. The man who is released from these three gates of darkness, O son of Kunti, Goes to the supreme destination after practicing what is good for his self. 23. He who, dismissing the rules of scriptures, Acts according to his own inclinations, Does not reach fulfillment, nor happiness nor the highest destination. 24. Therefore let the scripture be your standard In settling what is to be done and what is not. Here on earth you should do the deed called for by the rule of scripture. ******************** Until next time, God speed and peace, Daniel
