Question #839: Tolkien - LOTR - Boyhood Fan

[Ask Satya Operator]

To my dismay, I see that Tolkien is not looked on favorably by the SS here in the forums. I understand why if the things claimed are true, but is it okay to still love LOTR and the Hobbit? I grew up on this content and my heart is breaking to think I have to abandon it. I always felt that LOTR was influenced by Pagan Mythology, which is why I was so attracted to it as a young boy.

Thanks

You are not required to like or dislike things, no one is policing anyone's feelings. As you advance your Soul you might come with terms with your true self by your own advancement and starting liking new things, or apreciating more some things you took for granted, or abandon old ones and old habits that you thought were your own but were ingrained there by upbringing or society, on your own accord.

Reading LOTR isn't going to do anything bad to you, so there is no need to be worried about it. You are free to love what you love.

If you like fantastic literature, I recommend Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. I don't know much about the author, but he has interesting references on spirituality such as void meditation, mental powers and the protagonist is called "the dragon reborn" there are even covens
