What TAOIST energy workers could bring to the table is the sorely neglected study of the ENERGETIC nature of money and wealth. Particularly in seeing the parasitic, debt-based, fractional reserve, fiat money, crony capitalism system for what it is -a global vampire squid, leeching the life force out of humanity, actively impoverishing the majority…[Read more]

Who is it that deliberately sets up this “perfect storm of conditions”?
These things – Rwanda, Nazi Germany, Khmer Rouge or Stalinist Russia are deliberately socially engineered situations, set up by people who understand the dark side of human nature only too well.

I meant service with a smile, thats on all day!
Although, these days air stewardesses are becoming more like sick, unhelpful organs!

You could find no better start than the writings of Plato himself. Easy to find on the net. I can come to no other conclusion that he is talking about a real place and people that once existed and not some Utopian/Distopian metaphor.

I agree with you that thats where we are now ( and have been for the last few thousand years) but does it always have to be that way?

“For hate men seek a weapon, for fear they seek a shield —
“Keener blades and broader targes than their frantic neighbours wield —
“For gold I arm their hands,
“And for gold I buy their lands,
“And for gold I sell their enemies the yield.

Yup, sounds like the military-industrial complex at work in ancient times too.

Can’t a Yogi of his level continue onwards after death in some form. It may not be th last we have heard of him.

The question is what is truly left of any government these days? They have nearly all been hijacked by the military-industrial complex. We, the people. fit the bill.

Its important to remember that these people have always played both sides of the coin, they supply weapons and other equipment (for huge profit) to all sides concerned. They foster…[Read more]

Seventy years ago a highly decorated Marine Corps general, disturbed by his participation in various military interventions, declared that WAR IS A RACKET and that we need a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT to guarantee everlasting peace to our nation.

Thanks Michael, they were good answers.

I guess our sense of outrage and corresponding will for justice is also part of the natural order.

Regarding Immortality as a form of service, perhaps by continually renewing the life force within ones body, by resonance, one contributes to renewal of the land. Grail legend. No need for the old king to…[Read more]

To unfold who we really are sums it up for me.

There is a reality behind these seemingly superhuman exploits. The growing up is not about dismissing them as fantasy but realising that they are side lights along the true path.

The blood, sweat and tears mentatlity actually intereferes with fighting efficacy, and dropping that and learning to truly focus,centre,root,align and integrate your body, mind and spirit in the midst of turmoil is the true work in martial arts as in anything else. Its not laziness and flowery hands and its not beating your head off a brick…[Read more]

Would you include war for profit as part of the “natural cycle of expansion and contraction of the human population”? Basically thats the reason along that thousands and thousands are dying not just directly from conflict but also as a result of displacement of populations and disruption of agriculture, lack of nutrition, medical supplies etc etc.…[Read more]

“Thus, billions of organisms die early so that a few
better-adapted individuals can grow.”

This raises the possibility that the same process happens in humans, and
that, as a result, many people are dying earlier than they need to.”

This sounds unnervingly like justification for one of the agendas of the NWO, global population…[Read more]

Lost my respect for Crichton after reading “State of Fear”, full of straw man arguments. Just a running lecture basically, depicting his hero, an omniscient MIT professor indoctrinating a lawyer throughout the story. No true representative of the enviromentalists is given a chance to take the floor. Overall a shameful performance.
What I find…[Read more]

It pulls in the tides and stuff!!

Well, yes you are right, they are definitely part (but only a part)of the natural order.
