May I ask what *source* you are speaking of? Just curious.


<<<But can I ask you to consider: if it were possible that HP 
actually and really does give hidden instructions for total human 
liberation, what an explosion of rapture that should cause? Just 
imagine for one second, a book that is being read by HUNDREDS of 
millions of people all over the world - is a secret code for 
liberation from death, from sickness, from suffering, from karma, 
from reincarnation!>>>

And that secret code is coming from the *source*?

<<<An entrance into another universe where Love is the atmosphere you 
breathe, where your heart is constantly and incessantly filled with 
(to us) unimaginable selfless ecstasy, bliss and rapture. Why? 
Because when Voldemort is dead that's how we feel. We are then united 
with the original Spirit, who IS Love.>>>

Who is the original Spirit? Love? Where did this original Spirit come 
from?

I'm asking these questions to try and understand what you are saying. 
I'm not saying you are wrong on what you perceive the HP books are 
about. For instance, I'm guessing all Harry has to do is rid his 
heart of hate, fill it with love, and Voldemort will vanish. Harry 
has now shown us the way and it's up to all of us to do the same. Am 
I close? 

 
<<< Well that's how I see Harry Potter.>>>

  
I will say we see HP in a different light. I don't see it as the best 
thing since chocolate. They are just very enjoyable books. That's 
all. Harry Potter doesn't even exist. I love the books but I don't 
see any hidden message by some hidden power. If the books are 
supposedly given by some divine nature for the total human 
liberation, why is it in hidden code? 

I promise I'm not trying to argue with you over belief systems. I 
have read your posts and have enjoyed them. I might not agree with 
many of your ideas but that isn't what I want to discuss. I'm just 
interested in your take on where JKR might be leading us, which is 
love conquers hate?
