Are you a Radical Sage if you feel that you are, you might like to join other spiritual activists around the globe to create a brave new world for our children.

Re: Radical Sages

Cynicism alert: Interesting to see one of the site's main developments is it's own shopping and merchandising center.

First thought - let's do global good; second thought - let's capitalise on it. Hm, I don't see those two naturally following each other.

Re: Radical Sages

I've nothing against other forums or websites - it's just that when someone sets up a religious/spiritual resource, I don't expect commercialising it to be high on the agenda. Websites don't usually cost very much to run, unless on their own server.

Hello Sacred,

My own contribution to "children" hating the war is this:

A Specialist Medic (age 20)
A Ranger (age 19)

They observed and read and debated and even argued, then they made a choice that stunned me...you see the results above.

They wish to do their part to stop it, and though their choices may not sit well with you or me, they gave logical and insightful reasons to back their choices. What amazes me, is that for once I was against their decisions, but I am no longer the father of rules, but the father of advice. We know all about advice...

Our "children" seem determined to begin taking matters into their own hands...we must wonder, why?

v/r

Re: Radical Sages

Dear Brian

Everyone as to pay the bills and overheads people like us have sunk all our financial assets into helping humanity, so please do not be so quick to judge others for you do not know what others have given of themselves personally and financially. I gave up a six bedroomed house, my antiques, successful marketing consultancy and all my material possessions to fufil GOD's will and I know Robert personally and know how much he as devoted to the cause, the hours and hours without pay.

So let us praise others that have the strength, courage, dedication and devotion to do GOD's will and send them our love, compassion and good wishes with their missions.

Dear K

Roberts site is not a forum in the sense of CR so maybe you would like to view more in depth prior to making a judgement also.

Dear Q

Man must follow his own heart and they are hardly children when they can lift up a gun and go to war. Man must look within at why he war's with the self for no man who truly walks in GOD's name would ever consider hurting another. People can kill the physical body but nobody can kill the soul. But the soul carries its memories of hurting others and this as to be purified at a later time. So I judge not your sons for it is their chosen journey and may GOD protect them on their way.

Love beyond measure

Sacredstar

Hello Sacred,

Perhaps for some this is true, and others it is not. But one thing I do believe is that there is no greater love than he who lays his life down for his friends. And to the true patriot, his countrymen are his friends.

"These three, Faith, Hope and Love...but the greatest of these is love."

I know how much you abhore war. I don't like it either. The alternative to not fighting, however, is unacceptable.

Isnt that the truth. Brings to mind the deaths from Hitler's regime..Imagine what the world would be like if noone stepped in to stop THAT monster.

Re: Radical Sages

SacredStar, I'm simply pointing out that starting up a spiritual resource site that thinks of commercialisation as a priority is in danger of providing mixed messages.
