"How can you be so many things?"

I am a Thelemite, a Christian Scientist, a Hare Krishna, and sometimes a Muslim.

I am a Hare Krishna because I am a friend of Srila Prabhupada and his best godbrother, B.R. Sridhar Swami. Vaishnavism is like Christianity on acid, and I like that sort of thing, especially since it's all true. The difference is, Vaishnavism is inclusive whereas Christerism is exclusive. Small Protestant sects in particular like to exclude more and more of their fellow Christians until they become the only people who are going to be saved. The Vaishnava faith, on the other hand, tries to include as many people as possible--Christianity, they say, is incomplete Vaishnavism, and Islam is simplified Vaishnavism.

Christian Science is Vaishnava philosophy. It has a few peculiar points of its own, but basically agrees with the acaryas. I find it very helpful in dealing with illnesses, physical or mental. Some find it odd, but I have a utilitarian attitude about religious philosophies, and this one is highly utilizable.

It is, some assert, impossible to be a Muslim and a Hare Krishna--no way! But I find Islam such a rational and simple religion I cant help---well, what I do sometimes is say the Prayer then go out and eat some beef!

So far a Thelemite--Thelema is a religion of freedom--it does not have any prohibitions except "enough of because!". I am a Thelemite because I happen to have joined a Thelemic organization some years ago and reached the rank in which you cant get out anymore--you're in forever!

And that's how I do it! Questions?
