Be as God intended you to be, a vehicle of His love for all of humanity. It's not new age, it's not religion, it just makes sense. We are in this together people, for better or worse. Humanity will come out alive and well, but we are about to experience some major pain as a planet because of this life we continue to lead. |

eyeDR3 (OP) User ID: 1802260 United States 03/05/2013 04:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like most of what you said OP, but 'returning to the ways of the natives' is the same as giving up and going for the easy way out. You will not be able to it anyway. The challenge is to incorporate all the things that have made the world 'too easy' as you say, and adjust them towards sustainability. Hell I LIKE my computer, it's a huge advancement for the human race, but the true challenge is to use it wisely. Same with all resources. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24470597 Giving up and going back to mud huts is living in denial. Rise to the challenge of creating a better world with the awesome tools we created. This is definitely an opinion, so don't think I'm trying to tell you how to think. Its not like that at all. My opinion however is that technology has done much more harm than it has helped. How? Well the way I see it, it was a measure of power. We talk about electricity as "power", we talk about speed as "power" and overall reach as "power." The idea of power itself is a manmade concept. No one human being has more "power" than another. If power at all is a real concept maybe it could work describing spirituality, but anything manmade can be just as quickly destroyed. Has your phone truly made your life better? Your computer? Your car? The tv box thing? Any technology? My point is that while technology makes communication easier and faster, prolonged lives with advancements, makes those can't see see, those who can't hear hear, those who can't walk walk, and most importantly, any one person can talk to another on the other side of the globe, it is all because of the false assumption of power. It can, no it WILL all come down just as fast as it rose. Our ultimate undeniable aspiration is to become our own personal god. It cannot happen. And think... At 20 years old, I grew up watching technology grow right along side myself. My first computer was one of the iMacs with the handles that cane in different colors. Awesome thing was I was in kindergarten and 6 years old. I now have in my hands a phone that has thousands of times more "power." Its an exponential growth. Humanity did just fine without what we see today. In fact, better. What structures have been built in your lifetime that will still stand 1000 years from now? If you give up the idea of control and power and popularity, you find the earth is a very supportive place. We have fresh and salinated waters, air, plants, animals, heat and cold. Its all here provided, we as humans just need to put work into earning our stay, not exploiting it. And this pin is BEYOND appreciated! Love this place. :memorybanner: |
Meadow User ID: 1560850 United States 03/05/2013 04:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, I bought it just so I could give it away. Some may think this foolish, but I know I'm on the path that is right for me. For the past several years I have taught classes on herbal medicine. I have shown dozens of people how to make salves, ointments, tinctures. Each came to my class with a spiral notebook and a black ink pen. Yes, they wrote by hand, their own hand so they could impart themselves into the healing and instructions. I have given away countless seed packets of herbs and vegetables with only one request- "share what you have to share with your brothers and sisters." I have been blessed beyond measure because I was given the gift of life on Earth. I live very simply these days. A warm house, loving family, gardens, a sense of accomplishment that I have completed the Earth assignment given to me. Love and blessings to you. |
TylerCasals User ID: 1339468 United States 03/05/2013 05:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I couldn't agree more with everything you said. I feel it too. Going to Target watching people collect Chinese plastic crap they will never need always makes me think. Why do we need so much stuff? Why do we need to work 80 hours a week for it? Why don't more people see the truth in the moment? Why can't kindness be as respected as violence and moral dysfunction? It's odd to me that our country hasn't collapsed yet. It seems like it will any day yet it never does. People all over the world are rioting over government forced austerity because they've given all the wealth to the crazed .01 percent or let them steal it from us. I have tried to simplify my life but it is difficult with two kids. I make good money or pretty good money but I quickly recognized I was much happier with 50 bucks in my bank account and time to spend with my friends and family. I can tell there is a change in people. You're post perfectly summarizes it and in a very lyrical way. However, some people simply can't or won't see it. To date, I have never been able to change people's mind about any of this. They think I'm a hippy, dope smoking conspiracy nut. Thanks for the post. It's nice to know there are people out there feeling the same way. TC I reserve the right to be ridiculous |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 17552394 United States 03/05/2013 05:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I feel it too.. Everything seems pointless.. We live, then we die.. The whole time feeding the machine through money channels.. The Matrix was not far off of reality.. A metaphor it seems to real life.. Yes, we live in a system except we are not pit against machines, but against the Machine, the complex, the ideas of those who control.. Sad sad reality |

We are batteries or stored energy for "THE" machine not "The Machines." We work for them. When business is good...they make more money, get more power and stack the deck against us even more. All the while they try their best to keep us sick, keep us tired and keep our minds soft. We are slaves for sure. I reserve the right to be ridiculous |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 35185903 United States 03/05/2013 05:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A huge key is that it is showing in all places and in all ages. Quoting: eyeDR3 I am 20 and feel older than my grandparents. Technology and the quickening has done this. The internet alone has made those with proper discernment nearly omniscient. The information overload is overwhelming and mentally aging. You see the elderly driving so slow as if the world around them moves much too quickly for them to fit in. They cannot keep up with the latest gadgets or crazes because they are worrying about medications or being able to walk another day. They also know money isn't everything. They've earned it busting their asses and it is still taken away. But the saddest part is in my retail job, the one thing all elderly have in common is they all are glad their stay is almost done. They "feel sorry" for me knowing I'm different than most my age. That's what hit me. Those who have seen it are warning us and we are too busy watching whatever garbage is on tv to care. I'm no religious man, but even I feel humbled before god, begging for just acceptance. I don't regret but take responsibility for my wrongs, and make them right. We can turn this world into the kingdom it was meant to be if we go back to the ways of our ancestors. Technology was created to make things easier. That was its sole purpose. But things have become too easy. Get right. The day and hour are very near. You're right on with part of what you're saying, but some of what you're saying is complete BS. I'm 66 years old. Working part time and planning to retire completely in a few months. Will what I have saved be enough, or will it even be there when I (possibly) need it? I don't know, and I don't even know if it matters. Life is not infinite here on earth, I do feel that it is infinite one way or another, but of course there's no way to really know for certain until the death of this body occurs. In the meantime, I'm doing my best to enjoy each day, each moment and to "do good" whenever it's possible. I think I'm as prepared (physically and spiritually) as I can be at this time, while continually pursuing a higher level. guess I'm just saying, Don't put us "old folks" down too much. A lot of us are on the same path as you. |

Amen to that OP, just a couple of days ago I was talking to my husband about feeling like I am trapped in this prison, I mean not just the prison we live in but the fact that there are only 2 people who I can share my thoughts and feelings with. The rest of the world would think that I should be locked up in an asylum if I was to share what I know with them. It is so difficult for me socially, it seems I cannot have an intelligent conversation with anyone. To the world I am just a number, but the Lamb of God He knows me by my name. |
