Honestly I'm with you. I'd absolutely love nothing better than to set it all down, and let someone else clean my house. Who wouldn't.
That's how not how we get freedom. We will get equally dependent on the house cleaners.
Hello 9eagle9.
Allow me to offer another perspective, using those ideas as a starting point.
I would agree if sentient beings had a real chance to clean their own house, knew how, and refused. Even if I (and my family) were among them, I would feel that our group lesson/karma was unlearned/unpaid.
Let me set this scene:
Hundreds of bleak, gaunt, starving people within the confines of a tall fence, with razor wire above. A prison camp. Resources are not really scarce, (guards and jailers are well fed, healthy, and well-equipped), but the keepers allocate resources to the prisoners as if scarcity was true. Deep despair from years of brainwashing, failed attempts to escape is rampant. A guy who appears to be a preacher or shaman, or maybe insane, imprisoned as well, walks among the prisoners, calmly, confidently, telling them - each of them - that they have the power to transcend the cage. They can break free simply by metaphysically refusing to be bound.
The starving prisoners shrug, some are annoyed and move away. They have heard this before, they are tired of hearing it. A few have listened, but no one has escaped. The hunger is deep, immediate, painful. Water is scarce, and what little is available is filthy. There is no indication that they will ever get out of this prison. As far as they know, none have gotten out - other than those who have died...
A few of the prisoners send whispers through the prison: they have a plan! A plan to escape! They have been working on the plan in secret, but now it is time that everyone knows, so that everyone will know the way to run when a section of fence comes down. There is still hunger, but, among some, a bit of hope. Other prisoners are convinced it will never work - whatever the plan is, it simply could not work. Still others believe they will all be severely punished
when the plan fails, as they are certain it must. They add fear to their hunger...
A few prisoners know the "lay of the land", and have figured out a way to end the imprisonment of all. All can escape using this plan - those who suspect the plan will succeed, those desperate yet hopeful, and even those who are positive it will fail. The jailers will be jailed in the process (it is a brilliant plan, not just an escape) - it is also a guarantee that at least
these jailers will not be able to ever do this again, to anyone.
Just as one woman among them is amazing with taking disparate scraps of food and making the meals more palatable, another woman is the best healer - the 'go to' person when there are scrapes and cuts and diarrhea - she knows the healing herbs among the weeds. There are other prisoners who are very strong physically, and are able to help out with the work so the weakest prisoners are not conspicuous. One man is amazing at capturing the dew, providing everyone with just a bit of the freshest, cleanest water in the camp. Within their equality, there is differentiation, there are honed skills. A few are strategists. They really do have the best chance of providing a strategy for escape. The plan will involve just a few of them - they have gotten closest to the guards, they have gained their trust...
Now, are the prisoners weak who would listen to the strategists? Maybe the preacher is a Christ-conscious Buddha, and is correct that the prisoners do indeed have the metaphysical power within themselves to escape. Even if it is true, can they all learn to do it? Should they tell the strategists - who have declared that there is a small window of time, and they are going to try within days - "no thank you, we're going to figure out how to do this using metaphysics!" Are the prisoners in danger of relying on the strategists forever, or will they learn enough about the strategy as it unfolds that they could lead another escape, if ever necessary again? What about the group using specific honed skills of a few to help the many? Isn't that merely wise use of willing human resource, ingenuity, and compassion? Or, is that the weakness of everyone, because none have mastered all the skills to be totally independent of the group?
