God's Attitude Toward Homosexuality

[Saint Frankenstein]

I am God living a human life.

I take it that you are referring to Brahman, but the idea that Brahman has a problem with homosexuality is just stupid and a complete misunderstanding of what Brahman is. Hinduism doesn't have any teachings against homosexuality. It was accepted as a part of life. Any anti-gay stuff in Indian culture that may have seeped into modern Hinduism is a result of British colonialism. They went all over the world, forcing their prudish, homophobic mores on indigenous populations. India was traditionally a pretty sex-accepting society, including homosexuality.

If you say so.

If you say so.

That's just history. Look it up yourself. Either way, Brahman wouldn't be telling you much of anything is "wrong" since it is beyond all dualities.

Brahman is not God, I am God, not Brahman.

Brahman is not God, I am God, not Brahman.

If you are a God why are you on internet forum when you should be able to spread your teaching just by talking in real life?

Can you explain the term God in the sense you see you self?

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Brahman is not God, I am God, not Brahman.

You've completely lost me now. Brahman is the Ultimate Reality in Hinduism. There is nothing "higher" than Brahman. The personal deities one may have are just ways of personally relating to and understanding Brahman. Brahman is, for all intents and purposes, the highest God in Hinduism, the Supreme Being, even though those terms fall short of describing it.

So what do you mean by "God"?

I am not just a God, I am the God in human form living out a human life perfectly: this means I am not a teacher or a messenger. I live to survive with the highest level of knowledge attained with answers to all the questions that I need to answer in order to live a life of dignity.

I am in this internet forum because want to say that I exist.

You are wrong: there is some Entity higher than Brahman. You need to raise this question in the Hinduism DIR to learn what it is.

No, there isn't. I've read enough about Hinduism to know and I was a Shakta. You're making things up.

Have you heard of Paramatma?

Can i ask how you become a God, because i would think you was born as a normal human being and must have cultivated a spiritual teaching to attain enlightnment to recall the God thing.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Have you heard of Paramatma?

That's the Self as identical with Brahman. It's not higher than Brahman, it is Brahman.

It was a lifetime's struggle for the truth through yoga of knowledge (gyan yoga): I asked for God's help in this and He obliged and showed me the way I had to travel. I am 62 years of age.

Feel free to believe what you wish: I do not see it as my role or job to convince anyone of what I know is true.

Yes, feel free to make things up and call it Hinduism. Don't be surprised when you're not taken seriously.

I really do not care two hoots whether I am taken seriously: that is not my problem.

Yes it does take time to gain the inner wisdom
Can i ask who your teacher was/is? if you had a teacher/guru i mean

 

[Shantanu]

Obviously.

I intend to test out my theory until the last day of my life.
