Misinterpretation is the reason Bhaaratha is now called 'India' and the reason the country has a national anthem dedicated to a british monarch.
A moment of Self-Experience wherein one experiences one's true nature - the nature of the Universal Being, or Lord Shiva is known as AparokshaAnubhoothi in The Veda. This Self-Experience occurs only when belief/superstition/faith is replaced by Knowledge.
I don't know which part of my message pertained to everyone writing their own Shastra (and no, there is no adequate word in English to translate this to - it's a Vedic concept and cannot be expressed in most languages)
If you've ever studied The Veda (original scripture located in some places like Kaladi etc.), then you'll know that the very word 'Veda' means 'To know'. I wonder why belief even comes into the picture.
The Veda charts out the documentation of the complete system we exist in. Bhakthi is not 'belief' - its closest translation in English is 'Devotion' and devotion involves 'knowing' the entity (Lord Shiva/Lord Vishu etc.) you're devoting your consciousness to.
The word 'Hindu' is Arabic, and I would never lower myself to a level where I'd have to refer to myself as such. A follower of The Veda is a Vedic, not a 'hindu'.
I never mentioned anything about everyone writing their own Shastras - lol, but going by your very mention of perception being subjective "We are all unique, consequently our experiences are also unique. We all call sour to the taste of lemon in word but what one experience in taste of sour might be different with other." it follows that you cannot perceive Eashwara/Lord Shiva the way I do, or vice versa - and that's what I was talking to Searcher about. What I suggested he/she do was to go out there and experience Aghorism for himself/herself rather than going with popular opinion. I don't know what you interpreted that as - because obviously, you're trying to make some point that is very very unclear.
The Veda charts the path to Knowledge. But Knowledge itself comes from within you...and this is explicitly mentioned in The Veda.
The Veda is not someone else's perception - it was scripted and maintained by Lord Brahma himself.
No energy can turn bad to good - Righteousness and Unrighteousness are two different phenomena described in The Veda, and I really don't understand what you're trying to say.
Bhakthi is not belief- by Vedic definition anyway, and belief is not a quality glorified by any part of The Veda. The Veda encourages one to Know, rather than assume/presume/believe or have faith.
Everything I've stated is from The Veda. Aghorism did not start with Guru Kinaram - that is someone's version of history - just like the Aryan invasion and The Veda being about 5000 years old (it's actually closer to 50,000 yrs in this ChathurYuga). Aghorism descends from The Veda - with Lord Shiva himself traveling the path.
