		<description><![CDATA[Just a couple of thoughts re comparing the violence of modern and medieval times: 

Let&#039;s remember the population was far, far smaller then than now so basing conclusions purely upon numbers slaughtered and/or tortured is probably very misleading!

And think of the advances in technology which has made mass murder a much more straightforward affair in our times.

Could it be that such comparison is a &#039;non sequitur, that the ignorance of the human mind is the real &#039;culprit&#039;, in whatever shape or form it has assumed  through the ages?&#039;

People - including us, of course - possessed by and obsessed with greed, power-madness, hatred and self-righteousness...based upon what?

Fear and lack of love, ignorance of our &#039;original face&#039;?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;How can you tell an old sannyassin?&quot;
&quot;That&#039;s the one who has learned how not to grow.&quot;

You know, Osho was not only a failure, but, sorry, what about his people?  Where is the love?  the  power?  the glory?   Osho used to say that where religion was alive that&#039;s where you would find the young people,  &quot;rebellious youth movement&quot;.  Well, by his own definition... that&#039;s not happening anymore

check out orthodox church...
again, like we all do...


13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hmm so where is the scientific study that prayer works? It is all about control with the the catholic church. As someone said they are jealous that something else will pull people away from the church. Oh they did that to me as a young kid. I didn&#039;t believe their crap then and I am sick of how they butt their noses into everything.

Reiki does work. We have have very good luck with cancer patients. and Wikipedia stated only 9 studies. I am sure they were studies that were greatly influenced if not conducted by the catholic church.....]]></description>

had to google that ..! 

Fascism portal
Politics portal


Crypto-fascism is the secret adherence of a party or group to the doctrines of fascism while attempting to disguise it as another political movement. It can also refer to an individual who admires or desires fascism, but keeps this admiration hidden to avoid social persecution or political suicide. The term is used in a similar fashion to crypto-Judaism or crypto-Christianity, referring to the secret practice of one faith while adhering to another religion publicly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Swami, I am sure Reiki brings relaxation which is good for overall health, but don&#039;t the Reiki people imply it can do quite a bit more than this.   That is what I would object to.   If they called it a nice healing massage,  they&#039;d get fewer punters.  It is just business, isn&#039;t it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[yea lighten up alok john ..if you want to ..or perhaps you don&#039;t even need to ..if you need to and I can help in any way ..I am here for you ..


mentioning the daily  mail ..they do have some good alternative med/therepy articles and this is from there...

Reiki

The word Reiki is Japanese, meaning Universal Life Energy. It is a totally safe and non-invasive system of natural healing, developed in Japan at the end of the last century but based on ancient teaching. Reiki is very simple and very powerful. When used for healing, it works at the physical, the mental and the spiritual level, giving deep relaxation, relief from ailments and a gentle and profound sense of release and well-being. The healing energy goes straight to the source of any problem. Treatment takes about one hour and you remain fully clothed. It is also very simple to learn Reiki for self?help treatment or to treat family and friends. It is taught by Reiki masters trained in the original traditions.

Reiki treatment during pregnancy has tremendous benefits for both mother and baby. It encourages deep relaxation, eases back pain, relieves nausea and insomnia. Regular treatment can lead to a smoother labour and delivery. It is also highly effective at calming distressed babies, though infants whose mothers received Reiki in pregnancy tend to be happy babies.]]></description>

whilst the anglican priest,as a white,law-abiding christian would be part of a genuinely oppressed minority in his own country.
