          Now children.....

          I've read your posts here and frankly, they're very boring.
          Here you are on a website devoted to finding out who was
          and who wasn't Jack the Ripper, and you post rubbish that could be on
          any ordinary, childish site.
          When I first decided to come here, to tell you priviliged information,
          which I thought you would discuss like humans with an inquisitive
          and intellectual mind,
          I gave you the benefit of the doubt and thought I would trust
          that you genuinely sought the truth.
          Seems I was wrong.
          No-one can tell the truth here as you don't seem to care of that.
          Some think I am here just to yank your chain and be someone.
          Others make up reasons,any reasons to satisfy themselves
          that what I have been saying is just lies or self-deception.
          Life will always be full of fools and there are a lot here.
          Your cheesy quips and Mickey Mouse quotes belong in kindergarten.
          Why do I stay here and not seek the grace
          of being banned from this kiddie site?
          maybe I'm amazed at watching you delude yourselves with your opinions
          that have no substance, like a reeking smell of rotting vegetation.
          There is also another reason I stay, and that is there are some people here
          who are elevated beyond your limited imagination that are worth staying for
          It is to them that I speak, not the foolish children.
          Carry on little ones.

                  Superb, indeed.
                  I love Verona, although some parts are ruff...
                  Venice...what can I say ? Been there 5 times and still miss it.
                  Lake Garda... Desenzano, Salo, Limone...
                  I even had the chance to visit the house (but is it a house?) of d'Annunzio.

                  You're a woman of taste, no doubt!

                            That is zoroastrian too.
                            The stage being a battle opposing good and evil.

                            ...but the answers aren't that simple...unfortunately.

                            Hence H.S. Nyberg saying : "Whoever have dealt with these texts has resigned himself to translate differently in the morning from what he did the night before."

                            Or Kaj Barr : "The more I study the Gathas, the less I understand them."

                            To start understanding what it is all about, Jean Kellens' works are essential, especially his "Zarathustra and the old Avesta" (1991).

                            Keep the fire burning.

                            Amitiés,

                            Hello David,

                            I used the quote 'all actors on a stage' as in my head was a song ..
                            that has a line it it .. "We're actors on a stage"
                            And in reference to the many quotes from Shakespeare on the subject,
                            Here's another to add to the above post ..

                            "Tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow,
                            Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
                            To the last syllable of recorded time;
                            And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
                            the way to dusty death.
                            Out, out, brief candle!
                            Life's but a walking shadow,
                            A poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
                            And then is heard of no more.
                            It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
                            ~Macbeth~

                            And even this from a modern play ..
                            "What you don't realize is that we are all just little bit players,
                            in a little bit play, in some little bit universe.
                            We're actors, playing actors, playing actors."

                            I know very little about Zoroastrianism .. my reference to 'actors on a stage'
                            is as you can see from above .. refers to,
                            The illusion of this world appearance,
                            It's transient nature ..as is also shown in Tibetan sand Mandalas,
                            and in so many ways .. by so many traditions, and people ..
                            'All Things Must Pass' .. George Harrison.

                            I do believe though that Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Hinduism and all
                            authentic teachings/traditions/paths .. are ultimately the same.
                            I am not referring to religion .. which is further removed from the source
                            and corrupted, full of dogma and causes wars and strife.

                            But the esoteric, the spiritual meaning .. the Truth behind the form.

                            From Zoroastrianism,
                            The Creator Ahura Mazda is all good, no evil originates from Him.
                            One 'uncreated Creator'

                            From
                            'The Upanishads'
                            "That is perfect. This is perfect. Perfect comes from perfect.
                            May peace and peace and peace be everywhere."
                            The Vedantist view is also ultimately of one 'uncreated Creator'.

                            The book you mention sounds interesting 'Zarathustra and the old Avesta'
                            I shall add it to my future book reading list.
                            All the best to you David

                              • Hello Victoria,

                                From Zoroastrianism,
                                The Creator Ahura Mazda is all good, no evil originates from Him.
                                One 'uncreated Creator'
                                Exactly ! and I love the idea so much...


                                The book you mention sounds interesting 'Zarathustra and the old Avesta'
                                I shall add it to my future book reading list.
                                You'll enjoy it !

                                "Zarathustra and the old Avesta (four lectures at the Collège de France)" is actually the main section of the book (which is a collection of Kellens most important articles and lectures).
                                Kellens denies any biographical backgroung of the prophet in the Gathas, which, in his view, are purely ritualistic.

                                Here is the reference :
