Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Dear M n S Thank u for that awful reminder of "hell" in this world! What is the solution? It can only be done, 1 by 1 by 1. lLet peace begin with me ( Message from Iona). One long-term solution is to teach the reality of karma in every school on earth. As we sow, so shall we reap. Cause and effect. It works on the personal and the collective level. If you lie or cheat, you end up trusting no one. If you steal, you fear being stolen from, etc.. Basically, it is not what we say, it's what the other hears; not what we preach, but who we are. As a kid growing up in 35 countries, I learned that! Collectively, for all our past mistakes, the USA proved a good example in the past. States asked to join! And Europe in the EU has replaced wars of conquest with the same basic principle. The ultimate goal for the coming Age is Love thy neighbors, they are yourself! But we shld stop boasting that we want to lead the world. At the moment, we are a very sorry lot. Gandhi freed India with his policy of ahimsa - non-violence - influenced by Thoreau's On Civil Disobedience, which came to Boston via Germany where the first translations of the Hindu Upanishads occurred in the late 1700's. Bec of American Revolution, the Bostonian fathers chose not to send their sons to Oxford/Cambridge. When these few returned to New England, the result was the Transcendentalists of Concord. Gandhi read Thoreau in South Africa n used this pragmatic American twist to free India from the British! This, in turn infl ML King! such is the power of an idea.....n thus we now have Obama. So, and this is for Steve Hoon, please consider reading my THE HEAVENS DECLARE, the subtitle is On the Evolution of Consciousness through the Astrological Ages . In it you will find Jung's concepts clearly spelled out in the collective development of humanity's coll psyche n clearly demonstrated over the last 10,000 years n the 5 Ages of +/- 2000 yrs apiece. I started w/the Age of Cancer because the archeological proof of Mother Goddess worship is there n fully present thru the subsequent ones up to the present. "Yes, Virginia, there seems to be a menu to history!" Please, u of all people read that Sect II in the bk! THE HEAVENS DECLARE Been a long day, up at 4:44 am, grp meeting 7 am-8:45 n on n on. Desk, a nightmare! do time for ish Communion. Love ao .. Life should be easier. So should your homepage. Try the NEW AOL.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 If you lie or cheat, you end up trusting no one. *you also end up with your word having no weight and your actions, no matter what they are, suspect. If you steal, you fear being stolen from, etc..*and can never gain wealth - even for the benefit of others - no matter how clean your present activity. Basically, it is not what we say, it's what the other hears; not what we preach, but who we are.*These are very different things: the fact that what you have to say is often (mis)interpreted is one thing, the fact that actually walking your talk speaks louder than talking your walk quite another, but yes.. At the moment, we are a very sorry lot*yes... unfortunately........,___ -- As within, so without~ Alice O.
