Re: "My message is that I am telling you to be yourself...
"Seems you must be living in a bubble, or something, not to have noticed, but this is what 99.9% of hypnotized humanity is doing and has been doing for at least a couple thousand years now. It is ever on-going cyclic process. Those individuals of which Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity had arisen from, they were also living in an era in which the masses were bogged down in tradition and share belief systems, conditioned to live like their parents, and their parent's parents... conditioned to be slaves to vested interests. Its an old game. And humanity continues to get ensnared by it over and over and over again. Language changes over time. For example, what Buddha had spoken in Pali, the translaters have shredded into bits and pieces over time. The message that Jesus delivered has been warped into something quite different in meaning"
No bubble living, and I fully agree with what you said in this paragraph.
As for humanity being different from what it was thousands of years ago, or even ten years ago, this I do disagree with. Human beings remain the same, just the level of technology changes, our environment changes, but on a spiritual level humans do not change.
"Btw, there is no 'following'. Being oneself does not have anything to do with following another. This is also another of your interpretations concluded through the filters you live by. Seems you and your partner (butthead) are continually layering your own interpretations on a number of different subjects and topics. You both have a habit of "believing" what is written by others (mostly gossip between each other) as you are far removed from having from any actual experience on many of these matters you are critiquing. Examination of oneself takes some guts to see the hypocrite that lingers within. This is also part of remaining asleep and unconscious."
This paragraph is just assumptions, accusations and name calling. No one here is attacking you personally, merely providing information that disagrees with the information you posted, by all means defend the information, but it would be better for all if you didn't use personal attacks to try and achieve this.
