I see the 'caste system' as laid for in the 'Laws of Manu' and which are talked about in the Gita as a socialist system, ideally speaking. One where everyone's job matters to the other and there is a symbiotic realationship between them all.

As for the animal/human sacrifice part...man I just don't see that in there....metaphorica lly even.

Where you raised with these ideas or where did you 'realize' all of this, what spawned your thoughts?

I would true like to hear you pov laid out in a more linier manner.

Metta,
Sage
