Dear Quick response,

Science and religion have often been allies. "Pythagoras' Trousers" by Margaret Wertheim tells the story of that alliance in regards to physics. They part company when scientific findings challenge religious dogma. Much scientific study has explored the workings of nature to substantiate the idea of an intelligence behind it all.

Religion has often interfered with scientific research. However, to say that they are always in opposition is not so.

Diocletian,

Rosie didn't respond to your questions regarding taxation and forced labor, so I thought I might begin with a comment regarding your post:

The very act of having labor forced negates the necessity to pay. In a sense, after undergoing an "epiphany" of sorts regarding our evolutionary goal and status in life ( http://www.homestead.com/theosophy/ascension.html ), I often felt very much as if I was forced into these nearly 15 years of contacting others, always pursuing an outlet for my discovery. I haven't been paid a cent unless you want to include my worldly position as real estate appraiser as an honor for having come to the conclusion about the existence of a girasas kingdom. I cannot agree that taxation is in any way forced labor due to the recognition of the work done with pay.

Whether I am forced to work by a girasas kingdom (or not) and whether I am forced to work by my conscience that dictates an urge to make known to you what I consider to be an imperative for each human in making decisions about how to live and how to accept or reject this "greater kingdom" in them, it is an endeavor that I want to end. Take it from my shoulders in some way if you can.

Then, Quick Response, assails into religious activity with a vengeance on the part of science. In my own experience, I would like to alert Quick Response to the condition that those people who actively pursued a better life and a better "self" by the practice of religion are deserving of his respect, love, and honor, because the path that is strewn before them is unpredictable, full of deception, and often incomprehensible, if not falling directly into the category of betrayal.

When we seek a higher kingdom (I have named this kingdom: girasas.), we do so because alone we stand faltering to offer even goodness to our fellow man. And when we discover this "presence" within us, how many have determined it to be a living, breathing life form with the goal of removing all human life from the earth and instituting their own kind as a replacement of us? I think I yet am the only one. Jesus Christ taught us about this kingdom, although few have listened or deciphered it to mean in the fullest extent of its meaning that we will succumb to them in spite of our best efforts to prevent them from gaining foothold on earth and in human life.

If government and science shun them from "entry" (which they should not by any means do), then their practice will fall upon the mean and lowly, those currently demonstrating to be incapable of greatness (without them). If we could just open up to what is happening on a global scene and not resent that someone with very little talent can become occupied by this great kingdom to an unpredictable result, we can learn that we are all important in working towards a common goal of return to autonomy - or in the case of those who cannot conceive of this occurrence - a rejection of all similitude to each other. Can you in any way shape or form still find your brother human within the difficult combination of human-girasas?
