Macrobiotic Life

Energy future:

From vast discussions at theoildrum.com

Everything is based upon some form of our current BAU or BAU Lite or Green BAU. No one seems to be willing to come to grips with the probable reality that any form of BAU is dead meat.

Take the arguments for public transportation: The underlying assumption is that these millions of non-productive people will have jobs to go to. Sure, let’s spend billions of dollars for these systems. About the time they are completed I’m willing to bet that society finds it can no longer afford people who do not produce. And, by “produce” I mean exactly that – “stuff” whether it is new practical ideas or physical things.

Further, all of this leads to what shape education should take because it is trapped in the same BAU mind-set as energy. If it isn’t changed now, we are going to end up with another generation of useless people who have skill-sets that are no longer appropriate.

If those of us who are not sanguine about the future and have prepared are wrong, we hurt no one. However, if those of you who believe the future is rosy are wrong, it is likely that you will destroy society trying to survive.

Question from Joe Waxman at Facebook was:

What will life be like in a year or two from now? Pretty much the same, or drastically different? What do you think?

Here’s my shot. Retelling the quite proliferated story of oil depletion, well spread by John Michael Greer (to name my favorite doom & gloom writer).

Less of unpolluted natural environment, hence less quality water and soil. Less oil = less of everything oil based, which is 90% of the present system. Economic growth of China, India, Brasil, Russia (more machine produced stuff), economic downfall of US, Europe (more human production again). More nuclear factories worldwide (because of energy depletion from cheap fossil fuels and no other option acceptable by the (lazy, spoiled) society – they can’t accept the only real option, to use less energy, because it’s going right against the present economic habit of continual growth, continual consumerism, continual hedonistic lifestyle, we are all in this interwined by being addicts of the present comfort). In US, Europe – more human produced food, with less use of oil based products, hence more natural. Back to local economy models. All of this is logically resulting from my basic presumtion, which is “less of cheap fossil fuels”. If not in two years, very soon anyway.

How can we find ourselves in the culture of capitalism?
We are determined by the idea of ever rising GDP.
We are tied by the artificial value of money.
To grow GDP every year, it’s totally necessary to consume, to throw out things for the reason that you can buy new – without consumerism, the present economic system couldn’t continue/prosper.
And we are totally determined by this present economic structure.
We agree to study deliberately, to become professional, to get a good job, to earn money, to spend money and to fulfil the dream of the stupid logic of the few idiotic leaders.
We are sheep, domesticated to create other sheep, to accept the present logic of the humanity, to accept the growing GDP logic, to accept the illusionary value of the paper money, to be stressed by the rules of the capitalism, to accept the masquerade of the political game.
Only when you have enough time, to study, to read, to question everything, you can start to see behind this curtain.
But it’s still very hard, because you are not learnt to question thinks – the educational system is in the favor of remembering facts, instead of critical thinking. When you do tests from the remembering of the hard facts, it’s also easier for the teachers to give you a grade, but it’s very hard for them, to grade you based on your critical thinking. So, just learn the historical facts, biological, economical… and repeat them – ok, a little bit freedom is given you to think, but this freedom is nothing compared to the totality of this Universe – we are still confined in the barriers of the dogmatic belief systems around us – the brain is able only to repeat the old.
It’s a very devil trap put upon us right from the beginning – that’s why I say, we are poor sheep – but I don’t blame us – who can blame the poor people that hadn’t time, or God given interest to ponder about things.
It’s like a Matrix and very few are lucky to see through it.
But when you start, when you get more glimpses, you can’t retrace – it’s impossible and you will struggle… you can get mad, or you can get braver, healthier, but only after a long inner/outer fight with the System – but return path is closed in the moment, you realise the basic logic, the core Truth that determines you – the Nature laws.
In the present families, they are making wars against each other for totally stupid matters – about proper education of their children (which is really devil education from the perspective of Nature, but your life becomes much harder without it in the present System), about brand of car, television, whatever… giving energy to maintain their phony social status, copying whatever is the present modern way of behaving – this all eats a lot of energy and logically, you have no energy left to question it all – you are lost in the Sheep land.

There are core things much more important than a good job, than a University education, than a proper marriage….
These things are hidden in a very simple things, so much simple, that our rational mind can’t accept them – again, because we were trained up so.
The simple things are found on the way of Heart – in the intuition, in the feelings, emotions – without questioning them with the mind if they are good or bad, if I can feel them or not, because it’s appropriate by the measure of present Sheep’s behaviour.
We need to trust in Ourselves, our feelings, emotions – but it’s very hard, it’s risky, we fear to stay immersed in them for a longer time – everything from the System gives you message that you are Unique, you are Different and causing you to fear, to return to the average behaviour.

Ahh.. what a Trap put upon us.. from our nearest to us – from parents, grandparents – we are poor repeaters – but you must still find hope in all of this, even when the logic says there’s no – as I said, the logic is very constricted, thinking in the barriers of the known only – the Heart sees much father and the Consciousness is the total Truth.

Who am I talking to anyway?

The most negative scenarios come about when you study actual human behavior. The reason societies collapse is because humans evolved to seek advantage. They do not cooperate for the common good. That’s why all these suggestions for one-child families, etc. just get ignored.

Here is a quote from THERMO/GENE COLLISION: On Human Nature, Energy, and Collapse

FALLING NET ENERGY, OVERPOPULATION, AND COLLAPSE
The “collapse” of a country is caused by “too many people competing for too few resources”[16]. When a country can not supply enough resources to satisfy its members, that country becomes unstable and subject to fundamental change.

The human mind serves “fitness” – not “truth.” Since every individual is programmed to pursue personal fitness and lie about intentions, no civilization has ever been able to convince its members to cooperate enough to survive the depletion of the energy resources which gave it birth. When confronted with ever-declining resources, the preservation of social order requires more-and-more cooperation, but individuals are genetically programmed to reduce cooperation and seek advantage. This genetic legacy sets up a positive feedback loop: declining common resources cause individuals to reduce cooperation even more, which reduces common resources even faster, which leads to collapse even faster.

LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, RAPE, AND KILL
Society only directs our behavior when we perceive that it is able to reward or punish us. A “collapsed” society has no influence over our behavior. That’s why cultures disappear and people revert to more violent ways of life. Our present society began to collapse years ago because of the rising energy costs of energy.[17]

We include others in our society when we feel that it increases our fitness to do so, but we invent excuses to kick minorities out of our society when resources are insufficient. Allies can become enemies almost overnight. The collapse of Yugoslavia is an example of neighbor slaughtering neighbor.

Jay Hanson gets derided as a hopeless doomer but his research has been backed up by the likes of Garrett Hardin and Jared Diamond and books like Constant Battles: Why We Fight. If we want to avoid the worst we had better take human nature into consideration.

The agriculture of the future, like agriculture in any thickly populated society with few energy resources, will thus use land intensively rather than extensively, rely on human labor with hand tools rather than more energy-intensive methods, and produce bulk vegetable crops and relatively modest amounts of animal protein; the agricultural systems of medieval China and Japan, chronicled by F.H. King in Farmers of Forty Centuries, are as good a model as any. Such an agricultural system will not support seven billion people, but then neither will anything else, and a decline in population as malnutrition becomes common and public health collapses is a sure bet for the not too distant future.

The Archdruid Report – Riddles in the Dark

Worst drought in a millenium creates severe food shortages in China

A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest; A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. To free ourselves from this prison, to embrace all mankind indiscriminately and the whole of nature in its beauty is a task all too necessary yet all too difficult to achieve. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. However, the foundations of our separatist institutions had deliberately displaced even the thought of such achievement from independent consideration long ago; generations of social conditioning have distorted our understandings of humanity and lead us to devalue it, thus we devalue ourselves. Time is accepted as a linear process pressured with social deadlines and an irreversible biological clock that we’re labored to work around; we’re kept so busy that we’ve come to accept that there’s no other time to learn our ways as any other. Prejudice continuously emerges in all its manifestations as history repeats itself in more sophisticated manners because of that defeatist belief. There is something very profitable and empowering about the mindset of ignorance which only those who observe and manage society from outside the box can truly benefit from when they’ve learned how to invest in it; when the value of a human being is measured in financial worth. The inner conflict’s humanity suffers is nothing short of a tragedy but it’s nothing that we can blame ourselves for. Through the eyes of the powerful, there is no order without chaos.

There is discrimination in the world and slavery and slaughter and starvation. Governments repress their people; millions are trapped in poverty while the nation grows rich and wealth is lavished on armaments everywhere. These are differing evils, but they are the common works of man. They reflect the imperfection of human justice, the inadequacy of human compassion, our lack of sensibility towards the suffering of our fellows. But we can perhaps remember –even if only for a time—that those who live with us are our brothers; that they share with us the same short moment of life; that they seek –as we do—nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and happiness, winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can. Surely, this bond of common faith, this bond of common goal, can begin to teach us something. Surely, we can learn, at least, to look at those around us as fellow men. And surely we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and to become, in our own hearts, brothers and countrymen again. Of course, initiation of this course objective riddled with idealism doesn’t come without question or ease.

The answer is to rely on youth –not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. The cruelties and obstacles of this swiftly changing planet will not yield to the obsolete dogmas and outworn slogans. They cannot be moved by those who cling to a present that is already dying, who prefer the illusion of security to the excitement and danger that come with even the most peaceful progress. It is a revolutionary world we live in, and this generation at home and around the world has had thrust upon it a greater burden of responsibility than any generation that has ever lived. Some believe that there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world’s ills. Yet many of the world’s great movements of thought and action have flowed from the work of a single man or woman. They were unique in their individualism as they had found a way to operate their agendas while the powerful pulled their strings from behind the curtains. And as their sense of self had come into focus with the public array, they let it be known that their breakaway was the result of heightened awareness and not luck; a capability not limited to singled-out demographics.

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. For it is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues; the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world and its societies which yield most painfully to change.

Society is a cruel dictating entity which carries a simple-mindedness reflecting the people within it. Among the essential unspoken “ten commandments” embedded in our subconscious are publicized rules and norms; a sort of life orientation. We all have our roles in society and we are expected to follow through with the tagged responsibilities. Early on in life we are taught to love our neighbor yet destroy the competition; a lesson symbolizing the roots of our conflicting “pick a side or shut up” ways of thinking. Success, failure, manhood, womanhood, maturity, immaturity, beauty, ugliness, strength, weakness, rich, poor, smart, unintelligent, young, old, good, bad; these are the major critiques which under judgment measure a man or woman, determining their level of acceptance in a community. Constantly pressured by demand, we are also stressed with social deadlines and biological clocks, leaving our lives narrowed down to a linear timeline that barely gives us time to think or make thoughtful judgment, so our institutions think for us.

The ironic nature of these institutions can’t be recognized by first impression and particularly so, the average person wasn’t meant to understand it beyond what’s masked on the surface. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroys information, and religion destroys spirituality; not to say that those passionate about these fields of study share the intention. I acknowledge the sensitivity that comes with such a claim that may be perceived as radical, but this is what I’ve come to understand. I don’t know the meaning of life, but I do know that it wasn’t meant to be dictated by the investments of special interest groups.

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power I our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested largely by men we have never heard of.. we are dominated by a relatively small number of persons.. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind and who harness social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world. With that said, it’s considerably easier to understand why most people decide to follow the “in-crowd” and why so many when looking at the consequences of transgression and how complex peer-pressure is distributed so sophisticatedly by those above and beyond the “need-to-know” basis.

The norms of our society were not designed for equal opportunity, and nor do many of us start from scratch. It’s easy to find a person who has had their head start in life, but not so easy is it to find one whom would not impose their inheritance or whom understands the struggles of those on the lower end of whatever social hierarchies. For the fortunate among us, there is the temptation to follow the easy and familiar paths of personal ambition and financial success so grandly spread before those who enjoy the privilege of education and wealth. But that is not the road history has marked out for us. Like it or not, we live in times of uncertainty. But they are also more open to the creative energy of man than any other time in history. The infrastructure of social conditioning that had persuaded our society for so long is at its most vulnerable thanks to advancing technology and the suggested opportunity should not be taken for granted. All of us will ultimately be judged, and as the years pass we will surely judge ourselves on the effort we have contributed to building a new world society and the extent to which our ideals and goals have shaped that event. Modern society yearns for change, but time and time again we habitually place our faith and that burden on the wrong people; time and time again blinded by the illusion of change, unaware of history on its course to repeat itself once more. The old ignorant mindset milked of its profit and power to the last drop, a new one is born and the cycle continues with those who had not yet broken free. The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

The strength in our ability to make change comes with the sense of awareness, and the measure which our society is in need of is by no means easy to reach but by no means is it impossible. The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of new ideas and bold projects. Rather it will belong to those who can blend vision, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals and great enterprises of a free-will society. Our future may seemingly lie beyond this vision, but it is not completely out of our control. It is the shaping impulse of the human spirit that neither fate nor nature nor the irresistible tides of history, but the work of our own hands, matched to reason and principle that will determine our futures. Mankind can be as big as it wants; no problem of human destiny is beyond the divinity of human beings; Power through knowledge, composure through wisdom, understanding through awareness, focus through spirit, compassion through soul, and aspiration through heart.

Man is the rational animal, so to speak. He alone can say “I”- and can contemplate his own existence and behavior and actively seek to affect the world around him or her. This is called independence; the opposite of which is collectivism. But this unique capacity is threatening to the Establishment who do not wish man to become aware of the various forms of manipulation which contravene his independent thought and action. The most strongly enforced of all taboos is the taboo against knowing who and what you really are behind the mask of your apparently separate and isolated ego. Many will be convinced that we will never find the answers to burning questions regarding the meaning of life, nature of the soul, or the arguable existence of a divine higher intelligence- otherwise nicknamed “God”. Many will also enclose themselves within their safety bubbles in spite of fear, denying themselves the profoundness of experiences which simply cannot be offered by an orthodox lifestyle. Society tries to convince us that life as simple as a drawn out plan; that you are to graduate college by this age, that you are to marry and start a family by that age, that you are still young and just starting life because you are however old, that you must make this much money to be considered successful, that you are not beautiful because you are not perfect, so on and so forth.. But if you were to follow the paths constructed and influenced by society’s shallowness, so would you be submitting your will. And because they have self-prophesized their failure, they will never make the attempt to journey outside of the social pattern they were scripted to improvise.

There are testing moments in life that make or break a person which are irrelevant to our biological clocks or sociological deadlines; they are moments usually lived through unexpectedly, unpredictably, and uniquely. They are what I believe trigger our mental growth and build our individuality from the ground up. Whatever trials and tribulations we all may go through in life, the most difficult test which it seems to all dwindle down to is the challenge of overcoming death, for harmony doesn’t come without balance. When life is treated and valued in the deepest sense, not just as a captivation of experience, but as an exploration of truth, a test of awareness, a challenge of logic, an innovation of human potential, the maturity of intuition and most importantly an opportunity of knowledge humbled by wisdom, then consciousness can eventually be understood as an entity grander than the reality we perceive before us. Energy, unlike matter, cannot be destroyed. Awakening to such a realization makes it absolutely capable for us to overlook, if not overcome, our fears of death. If triumphant over the irrational subconscious within, it’s then that we are truly opened to the opportunity to know what it is to be alive in all its potential; to be purely free and independent, to be human.

This is my reaction to the Rosine’s article – How to Solve the Problems in the World:

Even when I will start to express my objections now, it doesn’t mean, that I don’t like the article, it’s very beautiful one and with many things I concur.

Right, at the start, it reminded me of my writing – Whatever is happening is right and perfect

Now, my few objections:

1. What does perfect harmony means in practice? For me, it’s stillness, no action, no reaction, no happiness, no hate, even no love, just nothing.
So, we need to be disbalanced a little? I think so.

2. What is actually positive thing? When you immerse enough in the substance of each phenomena, I am afraid you can see no positive/negative. And each action is combination of many thousands phenomenons, each action is a mix of them and each action has reaction, cause and effect. And when you trace the effects of each individual action, you realise, there’s never pure positive or pure negative effect. It’s a big dilema for any life decision I think. Things are not always black/white.

3. The more abstract the words are, the more disturbance people created in their explanations/understanding. But the more they pretend, they are sure of them. I am talking about love, peace, friendship etc. Ask anyone about definition of the love and you’ll get thousand answers.

4. About the negative words. What’s more important, inner being/feeling or the outer expressions? I am not waiting ultimate answer, just giving another look, how it is actually all interconnected and hard to decide what is right/wrong.

5. The same for food. Christians will tell you, really deep from their hearts, with big love (as they would describe it), that the meat eating is perfectly in congruence with the God’s rules, hence with Love. Eating something and checking how I feel inside is quite misleading, people can really feel big loving satisfaction with many “unhealthy” things.

I am not trying to make you create arguments against me, I am not creating arguments also. I am just philosophying about the Universe and people. About complications that I face daily. About constantly arising utopian versions of how to save the world, all based on the lesser understanding of the bigger Unified Laws. The more I study and learn, the more I am inclined to the taoism, to understanding that things need to oscillate, they can’t be in harmony and that world is full of paradoxes and one of them is, that even the horrible things are needed, to World be the perfect place for our learning purposes – big school. If there would be harmony, we would be reincarnated somewhere else, where the disharmony dominates. But maybe this is our purpose? To repair one world after another? The last sentences are not meant too seriously

Thanks for the nice article!
I am definitely with you in the thinking process of “why don’t we join finally?”
But ideally, I am for the real-life joining – in time and space – real, physical community, but this is very big challenge for all of us. I think we are not ready to undergo this challenge successfully, until the outer conditions will not press us a little bit harder.

“You have to be grateful to existence that it has chosen you to be a passage for a few beautiful children. But you are not to interfere in their growth, in their potential. You are not to impose yourself upon them. They are not going to live in the same times, they are not going to face the same problems. They will be part of another world. Don´t prepare them for this world, this society, this time, because then you will be creating troubles for them. They will find themselves unfit, unqualified” Osho

Stop self-identifying with your opinions.

We waste vast amount of PersonalEnergy in holding our self-conceptions.
It’s all about the available energy in the end.
Either you have enough for living fully, living your dreams, or you are running the rat race, in the circle, spending the energy to everything else but your dreams.

Self-identifying with your opinions is one of the biggest PersonalEnergy eaters!

You are not your opinions, realize this.
This is what Buddha and many others taught.
We are not our body, we are not our mind, hence we are not our ideas, opinions.
Easy up with yourself and don’t take yourself so seriously.

You invest a lot of available/potent energy to holding your self-identity.
You are trying to behave consistently, to have the same face each day before the world, before all the people that know you, but especially before yourself, before your EGO connectedness.
You are afraid to behave another way, to really follow your inner feeling, inner emotions.
You are stuck in the dead world of ideas about yourself.
You nurture your SelfIdentity daily, you feed it, like a personal Pet.

But you know what? This Pet theory, it’s not a joke.
Your SelfIdentity is really a living entity.
It is energetic being and it needs to eat, it needs attention.
Read Toltecs (Castaneda, Ruiz – Beyond Fear) – and you’ll get perfect explanations that our emotions are alive entities, feeding on our emotions.

Stop feeding it, nurturing it.
Stop identifying with your opinions.
Start to embrace other people’s world views, ideas, concepts.
Don’t feel attacked if they attack your old views, they are not attacking you, but your coat, your WorldViewGlasses, just your opinion.
This is how the people should think – to embrace these, that are different, that think for themselves, that are not part of the sheep herd.
Don’t be afraid to change your opinions from day to day, if it seems reasonable.
Think logically about other people’s views, be critical, open minded, allow yourself to think differently.
Try to ‘wear’ other opinions first before discarding them, before attacking other world views.

We are living in a big stupid DreamWorld.
Full of close minded people, holding their opinions, stuck in them.
Feeling attacked by other people’s ideas, religions.
Projecting fear around and poisoning other relatives, raising own children in this way – to fear, to feel lack, to take energy from others by the method of fight and fear, not by the method of love and courage.

When you stop identifying with your opinions – the results are:
You start communicating on the web more freely, more often.
You start putting comments to your favorite blogs, to favorite forums.
You start connecting with people in the real world.
You start talking instead of listening only.
Because you are not afraid what others think about you – because you are not your opinions!!

I know, it’s easy to read, but harder to achieve.
I have been there, reading, believing, but still afraid to express myself fully.
I am still learning, but I have gone a long way.
And I can tell you and 100% assure you – be brave and start practicing this MindShift immediately, now.
It will take some time, of course, few months – but you’ll get there – but it’s not about the End, it’s about the walking the Path.
The mind will shift to the new world view (egolessness, energy abundance, love) – the living entity will be cut from the emotional fuel.

And you’ll start to have available energy – start living your Dreams.

There’s nothing wrong with you, if you feel lack of energy, still desperately looking on your Dreams and still not getting them.
You feel bad for yourself, you feel you are weak, useless, unable to achieve your dreams.

But realize this VERY IMPORTANT energetic concept!
This is not fault of your CoreBeing at all, it’s not Your fault.
Don’t feel bad for yourself!
This “feeling bad” thinking is the mind trap, this is the “running in the circle” protractor.
Realize how logical it is on the energetic level.
You have exact amount of available energy – this energy can be regulated of course, the incomes are in your hands how you handle them, there are many ways – I am now talking about the outcomes.
It’s completely up to you, where you invest the available energy.
Because we are domesticated by society, we have no other option to think differently than investing this energy to fear, stress, SelfIdentity.
It’s nothing to feel bad for, to criticize yourself for.
It’s really complicated to see through this SocietyGame.
All energy in this SocietyGame is taken by your mundane jobs, poor partnerships, concurrent relationships, stupid amusement distractions (tv), lot of commercials provocating in you the need for material things.
It’s just how things are, nothing to feel bad for.
Now, realize this – the only way to get out from this trap is to love yourself for whatever you are – especially for this stupidity, that you played the SocietyGame so long.
But, be careful, you are not out of this game at all by seeing through this Game, you just know the doors now, but you are not out yet – I am saying this to protect you from a new MindTrap before you – you think you grasped it now and nobody can stop you – yeah, if that would be so easy – but reality is, you have grasped it, you will do your best now, but you still haven’t enough available energy to go through this door, to close them behind, to lock them – you will be many times kicked out from them – this is how things are in the energetic Universe – I am just preparing you for these up/down periods, this is the typical spiritual grow – remember, love yourself for whatever you are, whenever you are on the way!!
If you not loving yourself, you are wasting a lot of the available energy and closing yourself again to the “rat race”.
Only way how to gather the energy is to start loving Yourself.

Meditate, start connecting to your RealSelf, to the Observer in you.

Play the life with easiness, with grace, with love.
Play the life like a game, which it truly is!
Don’t stress about other people opinions, moods, behaviors.
But don’t be also passive – change things, but with inner calmness.

You are not your opinions (and many other things)!

Start commenting to blogs and forums that you like to read.
Start giving instead of consuming – the more you give, the more energy you get.
Kick out the biggest energy eaters from your life.
Don’t hold the old relationships based on fear, based on the past times.
Or don’t kick anyone, just stop feeding them with your energy, don’t allow them to eat your portion. But when you do this, very probably, many of them will be angry to you, because they suddenly stop getting the feed from you.
Be kind with them – they are just addicts as we all are.
But stop prolongating this stupid SocietyAddiction.
Read Miguel Ruiz – The Four Agreements – it’s a perfectly practical set of things how to raise your energy. But most important, don’t only read, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
Express Abundance.

Love you

Following is too abstract text, I am learning how to play with English words, pardon me:

You can’t learn what Truth is, if you already know what Truth is.

Delete all the rules of society, all the rules of religions, opinions of other people, no matter how important they are.
What will stay?
Your true Essence.

It’s a big lie, that we need moral laws to behave right.
We are born perfectly moral and all the rules downloaded to our memory are creating the world of misery.
Everyone is repeating this lie, we are repeating it to our children and nobody questions if the assumption was right.

We are afraid to kill our Gods, our core beliefs!
It’s a very frightening step for our psyche.
But you can’t see the world as it is, when you are living in the world of man’s concepts.
You have to release all imposed knowledge, to get infusion of the True Knowledge.

When you get to know your Self, you can learn and do whatever you want and you will stay forever Pure.
Because you can’t forget your real experience.
You have to kill God to know God.

You like thought provoking books, don’t you? Drinking from another cup of someone’s illusionary perspective. Here’s a tip for a good drink

Years ago de Ropp wrote a useful and clarifying book on the subject of life paths called The Master Game. This is a very good book for youths who wish to examine their motivations and the deep desires and goals that influence their creation of lives that conform to (hopefully) their greatest ideals. Power, fame, wealth, family life, wisdom, experiences and freedom (jivanmukti) are all legitimate aims. If we make our choices from the handbook we are given by society, and usually our families, we have very limited choices. We do what has already been done, what is always done. This is what makes the world go round, perhaps. The salt of the earth, the propagators of life, the growers of food and new software, inventors, lovers and soldiers make this planet function as it must. These are the salt and the pillars, the men and women of the world.

We all ask, at one time or another, “What do I want to do with my life?”

On the one hand, we all want to do something that matters in some way, that makes a difference, that is meaningful, that is fulfilling. Something that’s worthwhile, something real.

On the other hand, when we phrase the question “what do I want to do with my life?” – and sit with it – it often seems like such a huge, vague, looming, slippery, cloud of fog, like trying to catch a cloud in a milk carton – a frustrating experience.

But one chap, Robert S De Ropp, has offered a few pointers, which might help us get a more sturdy handle on the matter. What follows is a brief sketch of a portion of his message.

The Master Game – Review by LiveReal

De Ropp was involved with the early years of the Gurdjieff-Ouspensky teachings.

What life game do you want to play ? This book suggests that there are deeper and more fulfilling options available than the default ones based on money, power or hedonism that education and social conditioning can sometimes provide us with. The master game is a life course involving a systematic attempt to develop self knowledge. Its hazards are not wisely ignored but its rewards are beyond the ordinary also…

I have found De Ropp’s idea of “Inner Theatre” a great help. Our minds seem to set up miniature virtual ego-work laboratories – one imagines oneself in situations and plays out scenes. To him this is an aid to knowing oneself. I still remember the feeling of grand adventure through seeking deeper awareness this book wafted my way.

It’s interesting for me to read Ropp’s connection to Grudjieff, who’s personality I presented few days ago. Synchronicities are such a fun

Beautiful, simple explanation of liberty principles in this flash video, click the picture.

Problems that arise from the initiation of force by government have a solution. The solution is for people of the world to stop asking officials to initiate force on their behalf. Evil does not arise only from evil people, but also from good people who tolerate the initiation of force as a means to their own ends. In this manner, good people have empowered evil throughout history.

Having confidence in a free society is to focus on the process of discovery in the marketplace of values rather than to focus on some imposed vision or goal. Using governmental force to impose a vision on others is intellectual sloth and typically results in unintended, perverse consequences.

Achieving a free society requires courage to think, to talk, and to act – especially when it is easier to do nothing.

Prof. Christopher Bache (Professor of philosophy and religious studies (Youngston, Ohio, USA): All of humanity incarnating as a single, fundamental organism, in a way that expressed a singular intentionality-the intentionality of the one being that humanity is in its totality, with generations coming and going, much as the body snuffs off skin cells, and gives new skin cells on a minute to minute, hour to hour basis.

Narrator: There is a substantial body of scientific evidence that clearly demonstrates that we do function as a whole, and yet we still do not experience our existence in that way.

Prof. Alfonso Montouri: Unfortunately, my feeling is that we’re not quite aware of the extent to which the world is already inside us.

Mr. Marco Bischof: In an unconscious way, has always existed. We are connected already, but the question is to be come conscious, to consciously live this interconnectedness.

Dr. Michael Laitman: So the ideal concept of living as one body will be the dominating force in how we relate to society. That’s why we have to unite and increase the awareness in the entire world.
