2013 Man not Prosecuted for Animal Abuse after Blowing up Dog

(Watch the News Report below this Blog Post for context)

 So, here's this news report about a guy in Washington who blew up a dog, for personal entertainment purposes and was oddly enough not charged for animal cruelty and animal abuse. He was charged however for illegal possession of explosives. The reason why the court did not find anything 'animal abusive' about this case, was that the dog, as they stated, 'did not suffer' and so somehow there was no 'animal abuse/cruelty' going on - because, it would be 'cruel' to let the animal suffer before you kill it for no good reason.

It's fascinating now how human beings want to place a 'label' on this case and this man - many people are up in arms because this guy was not charged for 'animal abuse', that he was not labeled by the court as an 'animal abuser' and was not sentenced/prosecuted for 'animal abuse'. They're angry that the court did not accuse the guy for being 'an animal abuser', because now they don't have an excuse to channel all their personal pent up anger and frustrations about the abuse in this world towards this one guy. After all, that's what human beings are constantly looking for, a scape goat, someone to nail to the cross, a 'bad guy' to place all the blame on so we can avoid collective responsibility for all the shit that happens in our human society. No! It has to be the individual! There's just some individuals that are possessed by the Devil and they need to be locked away - the rest of us are Good, god-fearing creatures!!

And, I mean, while all the so called 'animal lovers' out there has got their panties in a knot about how we can or can't label/blame this guy, isn't it interesting that no one seems to notice that when it comes to what is actually best for society and the individual, this whole labeling/blaming/accusing/prosecuting thing is really irrelevant and only shows how humans care more about their ego as their 'right to feel angry and blame another' than about the reality of the situation and actually finding solutions for these such problems so that there will be no more 'dog-blowups', for instance.

Because, even if we could legally accuse this being for committing 'animal cruelty' and accordingly punish him with some time in jail and/or a fine, how would that change anything about the reason why this happened in the first place - why and how it is possible in the first place for a being in our society to get the sick thought in their mind that it might be fun to watch their dog blow up and to actually go and act out this thought in physical reality? The problem here is the mind of the individual, is how the mind of this person was able to develop itself into a very unhealthy organism that is a danger to the world and reality it resides in - and this my dear folks, is a collective problem that concerns all of us, one where we are each equally responsible for the acts that this one individual conducted.

I mean, the way we reacted to this News story with anger and blame and immediately wanting to point our finger at someone, but no real consideration of/for how this was able to happen in the first place - that alone reveals just how little regard and care we have for our fellow beings. How we will not take the time nor make the effort to investigate their life and specifically the events and environmental factors that contributed to the development of a specific mind-set within a being that would eventually motivate them to blow up another life-form.

The problem here is that WE don't care enough about reality and about our society, to educate ourselves about how the human mind develops for instance, and to understand how 'crime' and a 'criminal mind' can come into fruition. We don't Care, we just allow it, we let it happen as we hide behind our self-imposed ignorance - and then, when the tree of life as the individual that grew up in a rotten environment bears its rotten fruit, we use it as an opportunity to place all the responsibility of what is in fact a consequence of a collective problem unto one individual, the so-called 'criminal' --- so we can wash our hands clean of any form of accountability towards this reality.

What a neat little 'justice system' we have --- interesting, how, in the word 'justice', is already programmed our collective decision to never ask any questions or conduct any real investigation into reality so as to avoid facing our collective responsibility for the 'crimes' that rear their heads -- because it 'just-is' what we say it is. A 'murderer' is just a murderer and deserves to be locked away for good, and an 'animal abuser', is just an animal abuser and deserves to be punished in whatever way we see fit. We place our labels on people, so we can 'lock them up' in a box inside our mind where everything 'just-is' what we say it is as how we've labeled it, with the help of our 'just-is' system - so as to ensure that we will never do the necessary investigation and research to understand that all that exist in our world and reality is not at all so separate and 'boxed-up' as we like to believe that it is. We are in fact all connected in All ways and thus All responsible for All things in All ways. Quite the Reality nobody wants to see.

By the way, did I forget to mention that the reason why the court 'decided' to not charge this individual with 'animal cruelty' but to rather go with 'illegal possession of explosives', was because the latter would charge the guy with a higher bail-out, which means the state receives more Money - yeah, so that kind of proves how our entire 'just-is' system is in no way in the service of creating a healthy society, but rather all about making money.


So, if You are someone that really Cares about life, about this world and about this Reality. If you are really dedicated to stop Animal Cruelty - Investigate the Equal Life Foundation and the Desteni Organization, where we do not shy away from finding out how things really work -- because we realize that if we want this world to Change, Common Sense would be that we should Understand how it got this way in the first place. So, Join us!

2013: Massive Deaths caused by Antibiotic-Farming, Why are we Allowing this?

Following Excerpt was taken from the article "Scientists call for ban on antibiotic given to chickens which 'causes 280 deaths a year in Britain'"

A type of antibiotic passed between chickens and humans are to blame for 280 human deaths in Britain per year, according to a new study. 

Billions of chickens are given antibiotics to treat E.coli bacteria but this has resulted in several strains of superbugs developing which are, when passed to humans, resistant to treatment. 

Scientists have documented their findings in the Journal for Infectious Diseases and described the number of deaths as 'staggering'.

They believe that as many as 1,500 people die a year across Europe.
Infection rates of one particular strain known as G3CREC tripled between people and animals between 2007 and 2012.
The scientists used data from the Netherlands and concluded that there were 1,318 additional deaths across Europe.
'The number of avoidable deaths and the costs of healthcare potentially caused by third-generation cephalosporin use in food animals is staggering.

'Considering these factors, the ongoing use of these antimicrobial drugs... should be urgently examined and stopped, particularly in poultry, not only in Europe but worldwide.'

Richard Young, policy advisor at the Soil Association, said: 'This is the first detailed estimate to emerge of the human health consequences from the use of antibiotics in European agriculture. 
'It indicates that large numbers of people die of resistant infections due to the over-reliance on antibiotics in intensive livestock farming.' 

So, basically, chickens and other animals, are being treated with antibiotics as a 'precaution' in case they ever get infected with E. Coli. So, what is E. Coli and why is it harmful?

According to the Agricultural Division of the University of Arkensas:

"E. coli is a normal inhabitant of the intestinal tracts of animals and is harmless as long as it is kept in check by other intestinal bacteria (Barnes et al., 2003). When an imbalance occurs in bacterial flora of the intestinal tract, E. coli may grow and cause an outbreak of colibacilliosis. Chickens of all ages are susceptible to colibacilliosis, but usually young birds are considered more susceptible."

This tells us that normally, healthy chickens who receive healthy nutrition and are being taken care of in a proper manner, should not become infected with this 'colibacilliosis'. The E.Coli bacteria should do its function in their bowels, digesting stuff, just like it does with us humans, which is its job -- to have it break out and cause illness in the bodies of the chickens is not something normal, it is a result of the farming industry that somehow is not doing its job in raising these chickens that eventually end up on our plates.

"E. coli is normally present in the birds and the disease can be triggered by numerous events . Immunosuppressive diseases such as Infectious Bursal Disease, Marek’s disease, and Chicken Anemia may increase susceptibility to E. coli infection. However, other countless events or diseases can also increase susceptibility. For instance, an E. coli infection may appear if birds do not have regular access to feed or if their litter is too wet or if they are exposed to another disease. Generally, anything that causes stress in the bird may provide E. coli with the opening it needs. 

Once on E. coli outbreak happens, conditions may be right for the disease to “feed on itself,” and affect the entire flock. For example, if a significant number of birds develop diarrhea, litter moisture can increase, infecting more birds and, in turn, causing more wet litter. Consequently, the best approach to E. coli infections is prevention rather than control."

So, the fact that the farming industry is using anti-bacteria to kill the infectious form of E. Coli before it has even formed, when this infection can in fact be prevented by simply taking good care of the chickens, shows us that they're definitely not planning on doing the latter. After all, it's soooo easy to pump these chickens full with anti-bacteria that give the farmers the freedom to cut back on staff that shovel the chicken-poo or that keep the chicken-feed dry and healthy for the chickens or to reduce the space that the chickens have to move in and so drive up production  --- the anti-bacteria will kill the diseases that the chickens will develop as a result of the stress they experience from living in these unlivable (for any normal life-form that isn't hopped up on drugs) conditions.

Another point to consider in how the anti-biotics given to the chickens is to mask the abusive environment and practices they endure in factory farming, is that to give this anti-biotics to the chickens is not a decision made lightly. As we can read in the above article, the anti-biotics in the chicken-meat that we eat, gets into our bodies and will have a very harmful effect.

According to Medical News Today:

"There is concern worldwide that antibiotics are being overused. Antibiotic overuse is one of the factors that contributes towards the growing number of bacterial infections which are becoming resistant to antibacterial medications. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), outpatient antibiotic overuse in the USA is a particular problem in the Southeast.

According to the ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control), antibiotic resistance continues to be a serious public health threat worldwide. In a statement issued in 19th November 2012, the ECDC informed that an estimated 25,000 people die each year in the European Union from antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections."

Now, the reason why antibiotics over-use will actually enhance the risk of becoming ill and/or dying, is that:

"Antibiotics stop working because bacteria come up with various ways of countering these actions, such as:

• Preventing the antibiotic from getting to its target When you really don't want to see someone, you might find yourself doing things like hiding from them or avoiding their phone calls. Bacteria employ similar strategies to keep antibiotics at bay. One effective way to keep a drug from reaching its target is to prevent it from being taken up at all. Bacteria do this by changing the permeability of their membranes or by reducing the number of channels available for drugs to diffuse through. Another strategy is to create the molecular equivalent of a club bouncer to escort antibiotics out the door if it gets in. Some bacteria use energy from ATP to power pumps that shoot antibiotics out of the cell.
• Changing the target Many antibiotics work by sticking to their target and preventing it from interacting with other molecules inside the cell. Some bacteria respond by changing the structure of the target (or even replacing it within another molecule altogether) so that the antibiotic can no longer recognize it or bind to it.
• Destroying the antibiotic This tactic takes interfering with the antibiotic to an extreme. Rather than simply pushing the drug aside or setting up molecular blockades, some bacteria survive by neutralizing their enemy directly. For example, some kinds of bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that chew up penicillin."

This means that humans that eat antibiotics infested meat will be less resistant if and when an infectious bacteria hits their immune system. Should, for example, the E.Coli bacteria that resides in the bowels find its way into the blood stream or god knows where else in the body that it doesn't belong and cause illness, it will have 'evolved' itself to be able to counter the antibiotics used by the human as prescribed by their doctors and medical advisers in the above described ways. And so other types of antibiotics will have to be found, and if they don't work, death ensues.

This regular antibiotics intake also cause the general functioning immune system to become weakened and this because:

"Antibiotics stop or interfere with a number of everyday cellular processes that bacteria rely on for growth and survival, such as:

• crippling production of the bacterial cell wall that protects the cell from the external environment
• interfering with protein synthesis by binding to the machinery that builds proteins, amino acid by amino acid
• wreaking havoc with metabolic processes, such as the synthesis of folic acid, a B vitamin that bacteria need to thrive
• blocking synthesis of DNA and RNA"

It is not only these bacteria that rely on those everyday cellular processes for growth, it is EVERY cell in our body that relies on these processes for growth -- which means that if the antibiotics mess up these processes just to target and attack the growth of one bacteria, it is disrupting the entire function of the human body. That is also why, when you are prescribed antibiotics by your doctor, usually you only take them for a few weeks, that's how long it would take to kill that one harmful bacteria that was making you sick. The process is similar to spraying your entire house with pesticide to kill a few cockroaches, you're not only killing those few bugs, but every other life-form, good or bad - plus, you will not be able to live in your house for at least a month. So, basically, taking antibiotics on a regular bases through meat ingestion, would be similar to constantly living in a house fumed with pesticides --- you'll start thinking that that continuous weak feeling in your legs is 'normal' and one day you'll just collapse without knowing why.

When our food industry is not feeding us anymore but in fact slowly but surely killing us with its practices, that should be an alarm going off telling us that something is seriously wrong here. And I mean, these practices isn't something that is generally covered up, many people know about this and it is a legal thing in the farming industry. The thing about this that is so alarming though, is why we failed to put two and two together - why did the medical industry, who must surely be aware of the harmful effects of antibiotics on the body, not raise the alarm?

And, why aren't chicken/meat-farmers educated enough to understand how what they do to their animals will effect their customers' health? After all, it's these people that are feeding us, so we are literally having to trust them with our lives to make decisions that are best for us.

Or is it that in a way they have no choice but to choose personal profit through producing things as cheap as possible over Life - because that is how our economic system is designed, where only the greedy and self-interested survive --- which means that at the end of the day, they simply don't give a fuck about what happens to their human customers who eat the meat, just like they don't give a fuck about the animals that they're pumping full of drugs in an attempt to keep them alive throughout their stay at the factory farm?

Aren't there laws that say that animals have to be treated well in the farming industry, laws that are supposed to counter abuse? But then, if there are laws that legalize these antibiotics-practices, how is that not an implicit approval of the abuse that would create the necessity for the antibiotics in the first place? I mean, isn't the way that our entire economic system is set up, making the abuse of animals and nature necessary - there's just no other way that the human can 'win' if he doesn't in some way abuse other life-forms to create the cheapest products, in the fastest way, with the least costs?

I mean, if there do exist laws that say it's illegal to feed healthy live-stock antibiotics, I'd say they're not working:


"In fact, up to 70 percent of all antibiotics sold in the United States go to healthy food animals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention all testified before Congress that there was a definitive link between the routine, non-therapeutic uses of antibiotics in food animal production and the crisis of antibiotic resistance in humans. This position is supported by the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and other leading medical groups who all warn that the injudicious use of antibiotics in food animals presents a serious and growing threat to human health because the practice creates new strains of dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria." (PEW Campain on Human Health and Industrial Farming)

I assume we can all agree that these are, to say the least, Evil practices taking place in our food industry - and not even that well covered up. And the sad thing about it is that we all allow it to take place. When we hear or read about this, it's like we shrug our shoulders and go 'yeah, well, what can we do about it - I'll just eat less meat', as if we can trust anything else that's on the shelves of our supermarkets to be good and healthy for us. In an economic system that is based on personal victory, gain, power and success above everything else, and abusive situations, even children starving to death, is justified by the principle of 'Competition' - it's impossible to trust anything made by the hands of Man anymore.

At what point did it become normal for us to give up on our own life like this? To just roll over and die? Because that's exactly what we're doing by letting atrocious acts like unhealthy and abusive industrial farming take place -- because, this isn't just a matter of 'competition' between farmers/business-men like in a game of monopoly where 'anything goes' to get the prize, this is our livelihoods we're talking about. And from that perspective, the only perspective that is REAL, this situation is Not Acceptable -- and we should really consider re-thinking the function of our Government when we have laws that say that it is.

2013 Psychology: How do we know if our self-image is real?

All judgment/interpretation/understanding with regards to 'reality' and 'who we are' in terms of 'good/bad', 'positive/negative', 'right/wrong', 'better/worse' or 'inferior/superior' is always subject to the 'eye of the beholder' as judgment is always personal opinion/experience based. Within this, the question of 'what is the 'truth'?' is invalid as long as the 'truth' is defined within judgments about reality that are made in the mind of the individual. A valid question would be 'what is Reality/Real?' - where we look at what it is that can actually be trusted by all, which is for instance the physical laws that bind us all here on earth --- and 'self-image' is not a part of the physical reality, as it only exist in the mind of the individual.

What is fascinating within this is how 'humanity' - in how we have built 'relationships' between each other based on judgment, and how we have come to collectively accept these judgments within and as the 'mind' to be 'real'/'truth' - has essentially been living a complete 'lie'/'illusion', losing all touch with what is in fact actually real as the pure, simple, physical laws/constructs --- and thus have placed itself in a constant uncertainty/doubt/search with regards to 'who we are' and 'what is real' as the 'judgments' that we've used to define reality and ourselves do not stand stable like the physical reality, as they constantly change dependent on the 'eye/mind of the beholder'.

Thus, the only way to know/see what is in fact 'real'/'truth' is to stop trusting the mind and to investigate what is physically here in and as this world.

2013 Social Psychology: Is it true that we all have the potential to kill?

A question i would ask myself here is - what makes a killer? In other words: To what extend does the environment shape, form, define and determine who a being is in word, thought and deed?


I think we can all agree that, whether mostly defined by 'nurture' (cultural/environmental programming of the mind) or 'nature' (genetics/reflexes/instincts) - the human being is a 'program'/'organic system' of which the entirety of the 'Who I am in this world' is a combination of predetermined/predesigned/preprogrammed factors (considering we leave out the belief in a 'Soul' - as such a thing cannot be scientifically underbuilt), which the scientific community would term 'nature' and 'nurture'. This essentially implies that none of what/who a being that is born in this world becomes, is or can be anything other than a result/consequence/product of the 'variables' that make up 'who' the being is (>as so determined by the predesigned/preprogrammed factors of 'nature'/'nurture').

Thus - yes, we all have the 'potential to kill' as we could have ourselves been born into a 'life path'/'constitution'/'environment' of which the 'variables' of the 'input' that make up the 'who' the being is in this world result in us killing another being, for whatever reason that may be. In this, there really exist no such thing as 'free choice', an excuse that many people use to make themselves believe that they are 'better than' the 'killers'/'criminals' in this world - as 'free choice' would imply that we ever had any say what so ever in the 'input'/'variables'/'factors' that constitute all of who we believe ourselves to be and how we experience ourselves. And considering that human beings do not in any way understand where exactly their mind/thoughts/feelings/motivations/reactions comes from or what the mind actually really is or how it was created and by whom - it would even be sheer arrogance to compare oneself to any other being in this world and state that we would not walk the same life and make the same decisions as them, without firstly investigating and understanding how the mind and the physical reality as that which constitutes all of who we are works exactly.

2013 What is freedom of speech and what are the limits of free speech?

Free speech and other concepts of 'freedom' as it currently exist is based on the neoliberalist Capitalistic view/ideology where basically you are respected in your 'freedom' to pursue your own interests - with a minimal of governmental or judiciary interference --- yet, within this, with the human being not living/existing based on principle, inner morality or integrity (as religion has also been separated from interfering in public institutions and education) and with a system that only feeds and supports the 'consumer/greed'- and 'survival of the fittest/competitive'-mentality in every way - there is much abuse going on within this allowed 'free speech' (just go through the comment threads below video's on Youtube and see for yourself).

So, what the human has learned in our system of protecting self interest above all - is that you do not have to take responsibility or accountability for your words and that you can pretty much get away with anything  that isn't downright violent. The problem with this is that we do not realize how the words we speak shape the world/reality we live in - and that, if we do not speak and express ourselves from a starting point of 'principle' (>considering another being as oneself) and integrity -- we are basically unconsciously shaping, creating and allowing a system/world of lies, deceit and abuse.

The solution here is not to go back to censorship and control - but to ensure that the human beings that we bring into this world, are educated properly to take responsibility for the consequences of their words and action and stand as inherently respectful beings --- only then does such a thing as 'freedom of speech' make sense. This thus means that we'd have to change our economic principles from the 'protection of self-interest' to 'the protection of all life equally' and create a system that is based on the principle of considering another as oneself.

Prevention as an Equal Money System is the Best Cure

What we are seeing in our current system, our Capitalist System, our Consumerism System, our Parenting, Schooling, HealthCare, Food-Industry, Military, Entertainment, etc.. -System is that there are a LOT of PROBLEMS - we are in a veeery problematic situation here on earth, and the foundation of our current systems is one of 'damage controlling' the consequences that have been created in the past and that we are still creating within not practically living the statement that 'prevention is the Best Cure'.

It's fascinating that not only in our personal lives, but also within the national and global major infrastructures, the 'official institutions', the laws, the businesses, the market systems, the justice systems, we are making small and big and huge decisions based on REACTION instead of prevention.

For instance, a recent example is how when the banks started going bankrupt, as a PROBLEM that was the result of reactive rather than preventative decisions made in the past, our REACTION was to 'pump tax money into the banks', so as to keep up our HOPE, as reaction to the despair that we experienced, a hope that would obviously only last for so long because of how the entire infrastructure of our monetary system is already undermined within this belief in 'infinite growth' within and as the consumerist/capitalist mentality, a belief that is a complete ILLUSION, which we now are seeing within the consequences of resource-depletion and global recessions that are playing out.

So, basically, instead of stopping for a moment and taking the road of common sense within investigating the system and coming to terms with its flaws and plain unsustainable nature, we went 'noooo!', reacting with fear of losing our 'precious system', somehow believing that 'change', whatever kind, is 'bad' - and chose to keep up appearances within trying to 'save' the system by making decisions that would in the long run only create more unpleasant consequences that we would sooner or later have to face.

This is an interesting point, and if we are self-honest and have a look at how we approach situations in our personal lives, we may notice that we do the exact same thing --- we will wait for problems to occur, and then, instead of investigate the origin point of the problem within making sure that it will not occur again, we REACT to the 'problem' with fear of LOSING a part of what we had come to define as 'our life' and thus 'who we are' - and would do just about anything to just 'make it go away' so that we can once again nest ourselves back into our comfort zone of good feelings as basically the HOPE that our lives will work out the way we want it to. But do we ever really consider the CONSEQUENCES of the decisions that we make within and as REACTIONS to situations as what will eventually play out later in our lives and in our environment? We do not!

And so what happens within this is that more problems start to come up, things that we had apparently 'not foreseen' - like our partner leaving us, our child rebelling, getting diagnosed with diabetes or any other type of illness, losing our job/house/money, war breaking out, entire countries going bankrupt, nature playing up with natural disasters... - on the small as well as on the big scale, things start to escalate out of control eventually because we had not for one moment taken the time to investigate the consequences of our decisions, investigate how reality functions, how the mind as the reactive system functions, how nature as a system functions, how the economic SYSTEM functions and therein investigate what would happen within these systems as a REACTION to our ACTION.

If our ACTION is driven by an internal REACTION, we will never see reality clearly, we will only see 'what we want/need/desire' and our FEAR of not getting what we want/need/desire, and within this we will always take the easy road to get to what we want/need/desire --- and therein, we do not consider that everything in this world/reality is a system that have a specific reaction/response/outplay to our ACTIONS --- its like mixing chemicals, if you're not aware of the compounds of what it is that you're mixing and how they will react to each other as what the outcome will be of the mixture, you're gonna have an explosion or worse.


At Desteni, we aim at prevention rather than reaction - to create the CURE for the mess that we as Mankind have gotten ourselves into - through thorough investigation of all systems that currently exist here in reality, those within and those without. So join us if you are interested in building a world that is best for all in all ways.

Investigate an Equal Money System - a Monetary/economic Solution that is founded on the principle of 'Prevention is the Best Cure'

2012 Is it the Hand of God that Pushes us into Destruction?

"Sometimes the very things that we fight against are actually the hand of God trying to push us into a new season."

Interesting statement.
We humans have been fighting against many things throughout our existence here on earth, there have been many many wars and conflicts in which many many beings have died in various gruesome ways. Times have always changed through these conflicts, but can we truly honestly have a look at our changed world and say that it was 'for the better', that this was in any way 'God's Master Plan'?

Have the 'seasons' that changed through conflict and wars not only brought more conflict and confusion about the times that we are living in? Have the fears, uncertainty and insecurity about where we are going with life on earth not only risen along with our expansion in scientific research into exactly how much we have made a mess of our planet - because the only constant throughout 'Human Evolution' has always only been the steadfast deterioration of our environment and our lack of ability or rather will to co-exist peacefully with other lifeforms on Earth?

"Sometimes the very things that we fight against...."

In every fight there is a push or a pull, be it Hitler's army marching through Europe or parents enforcing their rules and patterns onto their children, we feel threatened and so we push back as a survival mechanism, thus war comes about. Though neither Hitlers' ideology nor most parents' education have proven to be what is best for life on Earth, so it is safe to say that those 'seasons' that the 'hand of God' is apparently trying to push us into indeed cannot be allowed. Because, really, it isn't the 'hand of God' pushing us, it is the hand of humans with power that WANT Their Will to be Law, humans who BELIEVE themselves to be 'God', the all-mighty and all-knowing, yet who unfortunately have no clue about or interest in how reality actually functions and what would in fact be best for all beings as they act purely out of self-interest, just like those that then push back act out of self-interest as self-preservation. These 'instinctive' ego-driven acts of survival then eventually give birth to WAR as both sides push and pull to 'get theirs'.

The 'season' that we find ourselves in at this moment in time is one of great conflict, just think of the 'Arab Spring', and this season came about through exactly the same conflicts. In fact, just try to think of one moment through human history that there was no conflict, there is none. Thus it speaks of great ignorance to believe that the Human has in any way been 'moving in the right direction' as if 'pushed by the hand of God' through the 'changing of the seasons', if it had, there would be no more wars, there would be no famine, no poverty, no children dying on the streets, no animal abuse, no exploitation, no sexual abuse,...

 

 In the above quote there is only the desperate search for a belief in a 'higher purpose' to the mess that we are clearly in here on Earth, yet no common sense practical insight what so ever. To believe that it is the 'hand of God' that 'pushes us into new seasons' is to basically deny all and any responsibility of the Human Being and its actions and to thus justify all that 'happens' as the Human sits passively and apparently powerlessly by while the world turns to shit, not doing fuck-all to bring about real and lasting change, as apparently it is 'the hand of God' that is 'doing this to us', and so all we can do is fight like a little child against the 'powers that be', only creating more wars and conflicts, never noticing that we are only fighting ourselves and the belief and feeling of inferiority that we have bestowed upon ourselves.

In all this, we have missed the simple solution to end all war and conflict once and for all, to end the ever changing seasons of misery, which is to stand up and realize that there is no 'hand of God', there is no 'divine intervention', there is only us here, which means that we realize our responsibility, collectively and individually. It is to stand up and see, realize and understand that we are God on Earth and that all that changes here is by our own hands, always. We decide, either we create war and conflict by remaining ignorant, self-interested beings or we create heaven on earth by realizing who we really are and taking responsibility for ALL that happens on this planet and directing it to what is best for all Life.
