After studying hundreds of spiritual documents and doctrines, I find the
core central truth is there, and is basically the same among a whole lot
of the non-left handed path doctrines. I believe it is those core truths
that are the actual truths, and those core truths are the most simple,
basic things, without any parables needed, you know? Such as "Love, Be
kind, Respect Others and Creation, Law of Reciprocity, etc".
Also don't discount dark forces, they can impede a lot of pure doctrines
or mess up a person promoting them. I think it was Joseph in the Bible
that illustrated this point quite well when he said in Romans /*"So I
find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at
hand."*/. That may be what he was referring to, in that they never
really give up, and are waiting for your weaknesses to be exposed. This
certain would help explain priests that molest children, or Christian
Evangelicals that pick up prostitutes. Once you accept the mantle,
there is no turning back, from that point forward you are in warrior
mode, or you've lost.
There are countless examples of this "Fall".. Lynn Grabhorn wrote one of
the most gorgeous, life affirmative books. But later she wrote a
depressing, dark, and emotionally draining book of hopelessness against
evil. Culminating with her own serious emotional/physical illness, and
suicide. Mother Theresa was filled with love and grace, but for long
periods of time struggled with doubt of faith, and her own dark times.
(Dark Night of the Soul) Anyone on the path will find something very
common, they can't damage you spiritually, but they will try their best
to hurt you physically.
It's a treacherous path at times.. If you beat your wife and kids, go
to the bar every night, hate your life, hate God, and hate creation,
then 'they' really don't care much about you, you've ruined yourself and
you automatically screw up all of the energy around you. Your soul is
asleep, you won't help anyone, and you'll be serving their agenda. If
you take up the armor of God, and carry the Shield of Grace, and Sword
of Divine Power, then while you exist physically you are a soldier for
the Most High. The more you do, the more protection and power you are
given, you become extremely valuable to the powers of good, a whole lot
of things converge on you to ensure your path is reasonably clear of
obstructions and malefic forces are placed in stasis.
Many Christians seem to have this view they cannot be influenced or
possessed by Evil. In my experience this is absolutely not true. They
sometimes also have the view that they should "Do nothing, wait for
Christ", in my experience this is absolutely not true. I meet Christians
all of the time with many energies and entities in their fields, and
they are often in denial of the existence of Demons and their own power
over them. As such, they can be the most heavily oppressed people I have
met, and trying to educate them of this is often a lost cause. It's
difficult to bear witness to it.
I feel orgonite is a valuable tool, similar to how a mechanic has his
tools. Orgonite raises the bar just enough that we can take our focus
off constant defense, and work toward helping ourselves evolve
spiritually, and helping others around us have healthier/safer and
happier lives. I consider it a paramount tool in this regard, far
surpassing crosses, holy water, and incense the churches so revere. For
everyday folks its a no brainer, but a spiritually evolved warrior
probably doesn't need it, but would /still/ benefit from it. A lot of my
customers are Spiritual adepts, Christians, Yogas, and peopel I would
consider "Saints". Every good warrior has a shield.

Hi
I'm sure you know tons more about the world's religions than I do
The early peaceful verses of the Koran that you list are from the
Meccan period of Muhammad. When he preached and preached but gained
few followers. In 622AD Muhammad made his great hejira to Mecca with
the few adherents he had. Heijira means flight and is the title of
that old Joni Mitchell album. Muhammad fled to Medina and this is
where he gained followers and became the great warlord. This part of
the Koran has the verses about conquering and subduing infidels. To
confound anyones research the Koran is not in chronological order. So
you will find peaceful Meccan verses near militant Medina verses
Muhammad amassed an army and many followers in Medina. One could say
he preached peace when he was weak but preached war when he got much
stronger. The Koran is very contradictory. More so than any old and
new Testament. The real kicker is the later aggressive Medina verses
abrogate the earlier peaceful Meccan verses. You can go google the
Islamic principle of abrogation. When Osama Bin Ladin dropped the WTC
towers he cited the later Koranic verses to justify it. In most of Bin
Ladin's messages he cites the Koranic verses that justify his actions.
And like I said, these later verses are superior to the early Meccan
verses. They get the last word in any debate on the Koran. Tim McVeigh
is inarticulately called a Christian terrorist. But never once did he
refer to the Bible or cite it for his actions. Not in court, not anywhere
My 2 cents,

It's called "A Fall", it happens. Mohammad early on was clearly
inspired by the Most High. After his fall, he was clearly motivated by
the lusts of flesh. The early books of the Qu-ran are an amazingly
positive, loving construct. The later things, are not so. Same with
diets, and lifestyles, people can "Slip" into materialistic love from
a higher prespective. It doesn't mean their early theories, or
principles were false.
In the early books you'll find gems such as this;
1. Respect and honor all human beings irrespective of their religion,
color, race, sex, language, status, property, birth, profession/job
and so on [17/70]
2. Talk straight, to the point, without any ambiguity or deception [33/70]
3. Choose best words to speak and say them in the best possible way
[17/53, 2/83]
4. Do not shout. Speak politely keeping your voice low. [31/19]
5. Always speak the truth. Shun words that are deceitful and
ostentatious [22/30]
6. Do not confound truth with falsehood [2/42]
7. Say with your mouth what is in your heart [3/167]
8. Speak in a civilized manner in a language that is recognised by the
society and is commonly used [4/5]
9. When you voice an opinion, be just, even if it is against a
relative [6/152]
10. Do not be a bragging boaster [31/18]
11. Do not talk, listen or do anything vain [23/3, 28/55]
12. Do not participate in any paltry. If you pass near a futile play,
then pass by with dignity [25/72]
13. Do not verge upon any immodesty or lewdness whether surreptitious
or overt [6/151].
14. If, unintentionally, any misconduct occurs by you, then correct
yourself expeditiously [3/134].
15. Do not be contemptuous or arrogant with people [31/18]
16. Do not walk haughtily or with conceit [17/37, 31/18]
17. Be moderate in thy pace [31/19]
18. Walk with humility and sedateness [25/63]
19. Keep your gazes lowered devoid of any lecherous leers and
salacious stares [24/30-31, 40/19].
20. If you do not have complete knowledge about anything, better keep
your mouth shut. You might think that speaking about something without
full knowledge is a trivial matter. But it might have grave
consequences [24/15-16]/
