my main messages, condensed

[David Dalton]

Numbers 6 and 12 below may be of particular interest to
these groups.

Tonight I edited the main messages section
http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/messages.html of my Salmon on the
Thorns web page http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html .

I include the list below in case you don't like to
click on links, like me. Editorial and/or content comments
are welcome. I probably will edit it some more after I come
out of the low years.

Some essential messages for my people (the human species globally) are:

1. I don't care what anyone believes as long as they are loving, or
try to be as much as possible within constraints of life.

2. The fundamental is to love; however this can not be always
achieved and so one must at least strive to love. Messages that conflict
with that sentence must be discarded or edited to no longer conflict.

3. Loving behaviour should be both within our species (including to
other nationalities, races, spiritual paths, orientations, genders and
ages, and with no instigation of war) and, though we would give our own
species a "human family" edge, to members of other species and to each
species as a unit and to the environment we are part of.

4. If you communicate with a someone you must know the definition of
that someone. A corollary is that, for non-atheists: if you follow a
deity name (e.g. God) do not use the name blindly but know what it means.

5. There is no someone who is BOTH all-powerful AND perfect (or
perfectly loving).

6. There are many possible paths up a mountain, and many such paths
do in theory meet or exceed these messages and also my suggested
UN/derived messages, partially in place at The United Nations now, e.g.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (but note that I take the
"other status" of Article 2 to include sexual orientation, i.e. sexual
orientation is a form of "other status") already in place.

7. Don't take up a path unless it truly resonates with you, and have
an individual connection with the path and not just blindly follow.

8. There should be an individual responsibility to be a seed of good.

9. Believe anything that there is evidence for (but work to change it
if it is not loving) and don't believe something that there is evidence
against (but try to bring it into existence if it is loving) and feel
free to believe anything you like that is loving (not harmful) and that
has no evidence for or against it but don't shove such theories down
anyone else's throat but feel free to share the beauty of them.

10. We are part of nature and not above nature.

11. There are some similarities between the lives (and in many
cases message overlap to some extent too) of some past major pagan and
major non-pagan figures (including Jesus) and me.

12. Sex between incompatibles is an abomination, sex between
compatibles is not, such as a gay man is compatible with another gay man
but is not compatible with a woman so for him to have sex with a woman
is an abomination but loving consensual compatible sex between gay men
is not. And to have sex with someone while not thinking of that someone
and instead thinking of another is also an abomination. Other forms of
abomination are pedophilia, rape, incest with relatives closer than
second cousin, and bestiality.
