Thank-you for this thread, thank-you for your reply to my post, I will help you with some definitions to allow those that are stateing you are wrong
to think a little more critically of their own statements. These words are,
PERSPECTIVE and PERCEPTION. Depending upon our individual state of perspective upon that which we collectively percieve we will derive at a completely
different truth.
We are all one and inseperable. I am, you are, we are as one. We are a manifestion of our planet. Without our planet we are as yet unable to exist.
Yet at the same time the greatest threat to our continued existence is our own planet and the manifestations it creates. Our planet is a manifestation
of our solar system which is a manifestation of our galaxy which is a manifestation of our percieveable Universe. From this PERSPECTIVE we are the
Universe and are inseperable from it. It is us and we are it. I am you and you are me, we are as one.
Yet our reality is a CONTRADICTION. It is in the contradictions that we have derived purpose and meaning. When you state the obvious from your
PERSPECTIVE you frighten people who are just coming to terms with accepting themselves as individuals, seperate from the collective that justifiably
tries in vain to control them.
Remember PERSPECTIVE can get you killed in a culture that is still reliant upon short term control to attain it's COMFORT, CERTAINTY, SECURITY, and
STABILITY.
When you expand your PERSPECTIVE you can realize that what we see IS NOT ALWAYS what it is.
The simplest of all is the sun moving across the sky above an earth that does not appear to move. Change your perspective and you realize the earth is
moving and it is the one moving around a sun that appears to be stationary, change your perspective again and you realize the sun and it's system is
moving around a galaxy which is moving around a Universe which is....... Thank-you for that which I am yet to know.
It is the absence of knowledge that can provide you with purpose and meaning in life just as much as knowing it can. To all who read this try and be
patient with people who have a different PERSPECTIVE. Try not to be so quick to judge them as wrong. For your claims that you are right may be so, as
long as you stay within the PERSPECTIVE you have become reliant upon for your perception of comfort, certainty,security and stability.
For me I am thankful for the contradictions of reality so that I may have purpose and meaning in my life, I am thankful that I exist in a reality that
is bound by limitations so a single explosion does not continually expand until it engulfs the entire universe. I am thankful most of all that I am
part of a species that evolved a part of it's mind which has the capacity to define itself as a seperate individual yet at the same time know that it
is one with the entire universe it exists within.
NOW for a reality check, it is easy to stand before a blank wall and confess you are one with the universe, you have an entirely different PERSPECTIVE
when, you stand before an animal THAT WANTS TO EAT YOU.
It is difficult to chant I AM ONE WITH THE LION when it is eating you alive. When Humanity eventually evolved the statagies to kill the lion before it
was eaten it defined itself justifiably superior to the lion. It changed our collective PERSPECTIVE in a rather contradictory way. The greatest threat
to humanity after the actions of our our planet, is now ourselves. This has been screwing with our subconscious minds for hundreds of thousands of
years. Finally we have nothing to fear except the most dangerous predator of them all, our selves.
Remember our physical reality is a transferred reflection or projection of our internal thoughts. To change our external reality our internal
PERSPECTIVE needs to try and change so that we can change our perception of ourselves and each other.
How can you change your PERSPECTIVE and PERCEPTION when you state that you no longer need to, as you are one with all. What you are stateing to people
without meaning to is "I dont have to change", This is percieved as control and control is intolerable as it is intolerant of change and the very
reason people come onto this sight is that they want and need change even though most of them will never accept the loss that this change demands from
them. So the next best thing is to find someone to blame for thier frustrations.
It requires an exceptionally accepting individual to stand up to a justified rejective collective.
Why else would your ancestors evolve your capacity to seperate yourself from the destructive actions of the tribe in its pursuit of short term
comfort, certainty, security and stability.
Use your pespective to help others try and expand thier own....................
PERSPECTIVE, PERCEPTION, CONTRADICTION.
