Today i want to put a thought that i got from the book "I was Carlos Castaneda"(sorry i dont remember who wrote it) i which the spirit of Carlos said to the writer of the book that there is a simularity between all the world religions and mountains; Of course the idea is from him but the reflection is mine.If you look closely at the begining of all the main religions like Christianity or Buddhism and so on , there is always a mountain associated with it; for exapmle in the Christian religion Bethlehem is on the side of a mountain, Moses received the 10 commandments from God supposedly on the sumit of a mountain and many more other examples you can find; if u look at it from this angle the pyramids in Egypt, central America or SE Asia just as an example of many they all are a very absrtact image of a mountain.In ancient Chinese philosophy there is yin and yang and of course nothing is absolut in it bit from this point of view that we are exploring now a mountain is yang and yang is masculin and if u look at all the main religions there are man controlling them .Is this just coincident. the female or feminine atributes to somethingis that they adapt things to the person needs whether the masculin or male atributes to something are rigidity, a person needs have to be accomodated to the rule. And this is the explanation of this what is happening today , i think.

Another thought that i have is that when i was diagnosed with having HIV 17 years ago, i went to the castle in Spain where St Dominic(the founder of the Dominicans) was born. And so i found out this that comes now. St Dominic was born to a nobele family in the north part of Spain;he was the forth of two more varons and 1 more female; as it was the traditional custom the first son would inherit everything, the 2nd was becoming a warrior and the 3rd son or a daughter would follow the religious way; so this was the apth that was left for Dominic to follow and he was so far right in religion that all the religious people in Spain decided that it would be good for his education in the religious path to send him to Rome, so he could have a taste of moderation by seeing the life of the Pope; however he had to go through the France where he stopped to help from a religous point of view the bishop that was fighting Hugo Notes and started by taking a costum that he got from the reconquest in Spain, this si a costum from the Muslim side in which the warriors before going into fight are being blessed and promised that if they die in battle they will go staright to heaven. as i said dominic took this and adapted this to the Christianity and from that moment on chaplency was created.His fame because of this and other acts grew so when he arrived to Rome the followers of his were called Dominicans already.

More or less this what i can think now about it, i might be wrong in some inforamtion but one thing is for sure if Dominic would have been the 1st born son to his family we would not have today Dominicans.
