[quote:26 5854390:MV8xODM2NDU5XzMyNzk4MDE4XzUyMDhGMkU0] [quote:Jonny Blaze:MV8xODM2NDU5XzMyNzk2MTg2Xzg1NkY3OUFF] [quote:26 5854390:MV8xODM2NDU5XzMyNzQwNTI1XzNDN0JGMzJG] [quote:Bea Nameless:MV8xODM2NDU5XzMyNzQwMTUzXzlENTA2ODAx] [quote:26 5854390:MV8xODM2NDU5XzMyNzM5OTMwXzkzMzg1QzFG] [quote:Bea Nameless:MV8xODM2NDU5XzMyNzM5ODI0XzhDOENDMzcw] Having caught a glimpse of those things our ancestors would have called evil... they seem to me something unknowable, so strange and alien in their very nature they're incomprehensible to humans. They don't feel "evil" to me as much as "indifferent to the plight of humanity" as in they have a different type of morality... much as our actions toward those things like insects and "lower life". [/quote] Morality is morality, it does not vary in type. An indifference to the plight of humanity means that whatever entities you encountered are prioritizing their own needs over another group of spirited/soul vessels, humans, which is immoral. We are very different from animals, although housed in an animal shell, and still subject to instincts, we can choose differently. Moral relativism is a concerted centuries long disinformation campaign. [/quote] Agreed, but what would you do if a colony of ants set up shop in your home. Would you smash it, spray it or nurture it? Do we not prioritize our needs above those we consider lesser every single day? Is that evil? Is that moral? I'm not defending things that think of me as an ant, by the way... I'm just positing something very real. Because of our biological makeup, we constantly destroy life to feed our own. This entire system is set up so one thing feeds on another. How are we moral and good when we do the same thing? It's all about range and scale. [/quote] Because we are simply biological avatars the house our real being, our souls/spirits. Whatever happened on Earth 25-30000 years ago, all these creation myths, language, art, mathematics, kingship, agriculture, are the direct result of the introduction of souls to primate biological organisms. Our origins are veiled in mystery and metaphor. But the end result is that we as a species transitioned to soul vessel status 30 Thousand years ago. And this means that we now "know better", even though some forget this. This is speculative on my part, obviously, but I believe this is the correct medium for speculative alternative histories. Animals are lower than us, we have dominion over them. This is not a license to be cruel or destructive, as many of our fellow humans take out their frustration on animals that don't know any better. Although they are, as everything else, connected to the spiritual, they just aren't on our level. Yes we have to kill in order to eat. I don't think slaughterhouses are particularly moral or the terrible conditions our livestock are kept in. But we can cull animals humanely in order that they serve their purpose, which is to provide us sustenance. I understand that I am leaving myself vulnerable, to the why can't higher beings use us the same way? But I think that once we came "online" as a species, we entered into a new existence with more complex rules, and that higher beings, by definition, would not regress to destroying us. I am at work, wasting time, so I am not sure If I made myself clear enough. [/quote] I don't agree with this at all. Animals are not lower than us. We are animals. Plants are not lower than us...it is merely our reason that makes us pretend that we are somehow superior to them...that we have dominion over them. Power plants (drugs) have the ability to propel us by way of spiritual force to points of perception ordinarily inaccessible to us. The spirits of these seemingly docile and vulnerable lifeforms have the power to cater to our indulgences...injure our spirits...and enable us to destroy ourselves. Don Juan had Castaneda talk to plants for a reason. One might think that it had something to do with curbing Carlito's sense of self-importance...but that isn't the whole story. [/quote] I commune with plants on a daily basis, and just because consuming them has the potential to injure us, doesn't mean we should fear them. They also have remarkable healing properties. Drinking too much water can kill you too. Yes we are all connected and animals, never denied our animal side. Should we allow rats to overtake our cities because we are all equal as animals? Dominion simply means that because we know better than they do, then we are responsible for them. There is always a hierarchy. [/quote]

Spiritual Hierarchies rule the day, waiting and prepping manifestation of one that they looked for and found. They founded the bases of a Godlike Production within the embodiment of Trinity, their own play of archetype manifestation and word play. They had knew someone had arrived, and it was a someone that they were expecting. This individual surpassed their wildest expectations in the speed of his growth and abilities of understanding knowledge and thinking thoughts far outside the common ideologies. Ripples were sent out, and they manifested within the entire psyche of the forum, saturating vibrant thoughts with clarity and ease. They wanted him to slow down as he went way ahead of their timeline they had planned for him. The vastness of his abilities and nature ease of dissemination was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.
