What is wrong with the world?

[bogeyman]

Today the dialectic is active in every political issue that encourages taking sides. We can see it in environmentalists instigating conflicts against private property owners, in democrats against republicans, in greens against libertarians, in communists against socialists, in neo-cons against traditional conservatives, in community activists against individuals, in pro-choice versus pro-life, in Christians against Muslims, in isolationists versus interventionists, in peace activists against war hawks. No matter what the issue, the invisible dialectic aims to control both the conflict and the resolution of differences, and leads everyone involved into a new cycle of conflicts.

ANOTHER DIVISIVE DIALECTIC – ARE YOU ‘PRO’? OR ‘ANTI’?

Probably many have been through this and sadly taken too, too long to realise that it is another ‘discordance trap’, a mental doorway that opens the mind to a kind of antagonistic, confrontational energy. If unwittingly tapping into this energy, we are coming under remote influence from some kind of chaotic force-that seeks to divide us.


I woke up to this recently. Sitting at a dinner table with a posse of Doctors and Physicists, my poor wife suffered the embarrassment of listening to me being shot down in flames over the vaccines issue. She told me afterwards- ‘you are not really anti vaccine – you are just concerned about safety.’. That came as a revelation.

For many of us probably, social media is a kind of running skirmish on various issues. Typical is the over simplified vaccine debate. We probably all have Medical friends posting one type of information, and more conspiracy oriented people posting something different.
If you look into the reality with a science meets spirituality mentality you will probably agree with the following:
1. You can inject denatured viruses as a way of conferring immunity
2. You can inject small amounts of live virus and achieve the same
3. Vaccination has played a role in the eradication of some diseases although this has been exaggerated.
4. Various adjuvants added to the vaccine enhance effectiveness but may very well be hyper stimulating children’s immune systems, leading to much higher incidence of auto-immune disease etc.
5. Some of the vaccine additives are toxic, and there is a correlation between a child’s ability to cope with mercury, and the incidence of autism.
6. The Companies that produce the vaccines have a vested interest in people getting sick.
7. Vaccines are NOT subject to rigorous double blind placebo controlled testing as other drugs are.
So an enlightened position would be- yes to vaccines, but more testing, transparency needed. Oversight on whether all of them are needed, particularly for infants, is needed.

The above statement is not PRO or ANTI.

But I fell into the pro-anti paradigm before and participated in a process of increasing the discordant energy channelled within that medium.
Who does the discordant energy serve?

Well, if there are issues that the prevailing corporate paradigm are hiding or resisting, the greatest way for the ‘Bastards’ to entrench their position is to divide their potential opposition. On the pro-anti vaccine debate, they have 100% won at this point. Any Doctor or scientist with legitimate concerns about vaccines can easily be ridiculed, struck off and stopped, and they can be portrayed as having joined the looney crew.

Distractions from refining the soul.

Ahhh, the pains of birthing love in the world again. Such a broad and noble yet humbling task at hand.:muscle::highfive::heart:

Oh, it's probably just simply a sense of dis-satisfaction (or lack of contenment) with one's lot in day-to-day 'life' eh ? ;)

There is quite a bit about this via the link
Alan Watts talks about Hindusim but thats only to relate it to how culture and society has change from the hunter-gatherer to the crop grower-- from the craftsman who taught his son everything about his craft from the age of seven and how now Dad is now mainly seen as going out to make money--ie materialistic society--where is is the vocation now.

Anyway the talk worth well listening to.

The predictions are by 2020 America will no longer be a super power, China will take that title... Also it is foretold we will have two civil wars the second shortly after the first, and the country will be divided into five sectors, religious sectarians will play a role...

I don't know about the rest of the world, but two big things wrong with the US are

1) A huge percentage of people won't think. It's easier and safer to regurgitate what they're told to think.

2) A huge percentage of people apparently have "acquiring as much access to protected corruption as possible" for their main goal in life.
