wow, all these religions and not one word of untruth yet.

the human memory be the only thing that keep total peace and unity from humankind, which restrict all the data in the world from being rolled into one story, and this delimiter no human first knowingly made for itself???

it does appear mankind has been manipulated to create a reality, a plan, that is 100 billion times bigger than all the secret plans of human man itself???

how can one access all data, to make wise decisions, if it cannot retain all data in it's conscious mind???

each human thing is as a rat in a baby crib, a cage of delimited ability and insight, controlled in every essence by unseen forces, by things beyond itself, held captive to what it can remember at any second in time, tied and manipulated by the electromagentic pulses and gravity of the universe herself, and each other person's energy on the planet, all such added things added together into a collective energy, but at the same exact time, the human self must accept and take full responsibility for each thing it enteract with, and for each reaction, as if self indeed created it, seeing all it ever did or created as still the present "now", all as one piece of time still existing, deeming itself as the sole envoker and creater and power of all things ouside of itself, never seeing another outside of it's steel barred cage as making self do what it does???

this indeed seems to be the great paradox the human brain cannot grasp, nor accept, simply from not having any point of reference within itself to know how to, as two opposite states existing at the same time, the human logic has never known???

there are only two logic's available to human man, how all things outside effect self, or how self effect all things outside itself???

it is only the wiser logic first chosen by self, that free the human perception to collect all data, as from equal entities, from all living things outside of self, which good discovery from each discovered, freeing from the very delimited memory which bar any human thing from escaping the self prison, which only be limited memory and therefore limited data available???

there is nothing spoken in the universe, that was not spoken for a critical reason, but if the logic deem self as greater than many things, it cannot allow it's own brain to recieve the data it so need to reboot itself to freedom from the rat cage???

to think of truth or not truth, first create a divided logic, which will then still divide all data into two, which will then divide all people into "two groups" in the mind???

"they and self" as "two" different things, imprison the logic, so all spoken for a damn better reason than what self speak, open the perception to more, so the logic to more, than the perception has any point of reference to know even exist, and why anything, if it base all things on itself, and what itself alone think, or know, delimit itself???

just thoughts from reading this thread...

The Caste System for Hinduism

To some, Plato's Republic might have a relevance to the early Hindu doctrine of dividing society into groups, each of which had a role and a place. Brahmins were the priests; Kshatriyas were the warriors; Vaishyas were the merchants; and Shudra were the craftspeople. This division was the beginning of the Indian caste system. As it progressed into Indian society, the castes multiplied, encompassing a vast rane of occupations, rules, and traditions. The Laws of Manu (circa 100 C.E.) provide the text that explains all the complexities of this system. One's caste and one's station in life determines one's dharma, or life duty. Members of one cast would not socialize or trade with another. Certain professions were limited to certain castes. Intermarriage between members of different castes was not permitted.

Eventually, a group who called themsleves Dalit formed. Members of this caste did what we might call the dirty grunt work, the menial work, such as street cleanign and clearing away dead bodies, either human or animal. They became known as the "untouchables."

In 1950, a law was passed outlawing the pracice of "untouchability," nevertheless this group remains socially and economically the dregs of the caste system. It is said that some members of the caste deny that they are Hindus in an effort o overcome the stigma of Dalit.

Those who support the idea of the caste system argue that it provides a strong sense of belonging and identity.

more to come...

Very interesting

Well there is alot more on Hinduism, but I think that will cover the basics. Check into your local library or type it on your webbrowser for more information.

Next up is "Buddhism".

From my limited research it appears that Hinduism is generally considered to be the oldest formal religion.

It sure seems like it, but I am sure there were more belief systems that have existed at a even earlier time that have never been mentioned or written... lost forever.... buried under the Earth beyond anyones reach. What ashame they would have been interesting to see.

but yes some of the oldest if not oldest documents have been preserved by Hindus, which is a amazing task considering the wrecklessness of humans and conquerors throughout the centuries.

Just imagine if Alexander the Great would have managed to conquer India or Napolean would have swept through the continent. Would these writings still exist? The feeble minds of humans can be quiet destructive at times.

Also the Hindu's worshipped 33,333 deities! This means it was quiet a complex practice at its time. Today they only mention up to 33 deities, yet still only celeberate 9 main festivals.

It is amazing what the mind can produce isn't it and it is great information for my imaginative fantasy writings for the future.

May Vishnu endure in all of us as long as we deem to want it.
