My House Of Lords

When I spontaneously say or pray "Oh, Lord...," Whom or What do I address?

First, the source of all things. I do not think that it can be a person but it set everything and everyone else in motion.

Secondly, Indra whom the Buddha would have known as the chief god of the Vedic pantheon.

Thirdly, Krishna who taught Arjuna karma yoga on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.

Fourthly, the Buddha who taught meditation.

Fifthly, Vishnu whose avatars include Krishna and the Buddha.

Sixthly, the early Jesus who proclaimed the kingdom, not the later Jesus who let Peter convince him that he was the Messiah, then interpreted the Messiah as the Suffering Servant.

Three Kinds Of Trotskyism

Orthodox Trotskyism inside the Labour Party.

Orthodox Trotskyism outside the Labour Party.

Unorthodox Trotskyism outside the Labour Party.

When the first group was expelled from the Labour Party, some of its members remained inside but have more recently come out. Thus, there is an apparently new group in Universities and on the streets but this is its history. This probably means little to most of the few people that read it but, while we are here and to express a personal opinion, I advise anyone who is interested to give some consideration to unorthodox Trotskyism.
