Beijing, already charged for spying against the 17th Karmapa, has banned the reincarnation of HH the Dalai Lama. China has also banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission.

#20  I seem to remember that Joe lives in ether Guam or Samoa... I can't remember which one. In any case, if the virtual community that is Rantburg has an oracle, it's him. He sends us desperate, hard to understand messages ==>FROM BEYOND!

#19  Poor Alaska Paul. It takes a lot of energy to be JosephMendiola. I notice that not a single one of you made a television or film reference, and not a peep about Madonna or his other fave singer -- I'm sorry, JosephM, but is it Beyonce that your friend Osama bin Laden is so fond of?

If you consider an 'inside-out' Hawaiian shirt as "regular"...

(which is why I have a half-dozen)

#16  Forgive them, Joseph Mendiola, for they knowest not what they do.

That's one of the coolest things about Joseph M -- he is among us, yet not with us. He advises us from afar. He watches over us, but does not directly respond to our entreaties. He is the Oracle of the Laptop in the F 150 (just a guess).

#2  SCIENCE = THE CAUSE, SOLUTION, + PROOF OF RELIGION.

#1  RELIGION will likely argue that BEIJING = CHINA's new regulation will fail because neither the State nor the mortal = Human Individual can hope to ever defeat GOD = HEAVEN.

As for SECULAR SCIENCE, a leading theory suggests that paranormal Activities, i.e. GHOSTS-N-SPIRITS, etc. tend to occur during INTENSE SOLAR + EM ACTIVITIES, i.e. TEARS/BREAKS IN THE SO-CALLED "SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM" OCCUR SUCH THAT THE DEAD, AKA "COLD ENERGY", IS ABLE TO CROSS FROM THEIR DIMENSION BACK INTO THE EXISTING ONE, AKA "LIVE/HOT ENERGY", where they can be physically seen, "communicate", move objects, etc.

JUST BECAUSE ONE OR MORE CAN'T PHYSICALLY = VISIBLY SEE THEM DOE NOT MEAN THEY DON'T EXIST, NOR DOES IT MEAN THEY LACK THE INTELLIGENCE = ABILITY TO REASON, ETC. THEY HAD IN LIFE.

NUTSHELL > IOW, SCIENCE itself makes the covert proposition that RE-INCARNATION MAY INDEED BE POSSIBLE.

And iff RE-INCARNATION, WHY NOT JUDEO-CHRISTIAN "RESURRECTION", OR HIGHER???

IFF GUAM TAOTAMONAS + BUDDHA, Etal. CAN DO IT, SO CAN JUDEOCHRISTIAN ANGELS, DEMONS + of course JESUS CHRIST DO IT.
