America , Atlantis, Icarus

The WHOM is karmic law. Even the “IT” is contained within the system. LOL!!
For example, perhaps the act of killing millions would produce a greater benefit then leaving those millions alive, but he who kills must still pay for the killing.

So the complications and deceit we see all around us are a form of karmic hedging.

The little boy is playing tricks again.

I think you missed an important point about responsibility, yes it is about economics, but how can you separate economics from the humans involved? Are they not responsible for their actions? Are they serving the whole or are they promoting separation, fear and conflict?

My point is that there is really no separation between either side: it is the fault of BOTH sides who are involved and are supporting the negative situation, but someone in there has the financial means to benefit more from the transaction, and has long term interests in the continuation of the situation.

(is free trade free?) If the individuals involved actually started taking responsibility for their actions, and realizing the impact on the human consciousness, then maybe their motive would shift.

Drug use is actually another good example; in this field of export, who ends up with more money, the producer (farmer) or the mover/seller? Who would gain more from promoting poverty and addiction; the subsistence farmer? The interests are closer to home, there is a market demand, but is the supplier the producer? The point is that it IS “about economics, and about the lack of morality in international capitalism”, that is the point! Of course it is the fault of the user and the producer, but look who is making the most cash (the one in the middle)!

Let us ponder for a moment the lack of morality in the mad rush for profit. In whose interest does it lie to ensure that petty conflicts, racial tensions and civil wars are aggravated, fed and nurtured with lethal technology? The antagonists, who may be profiting somewhat from sales of natural resources such as diamonds, or the lethal technology producers? Who will benefit the most financially in the long run from ensuring a steady supply of weapons, the manufacturer or the antagonists? Once the US involves itself in a conflict, they set up a military base in that part of the world, and extend their field of influence, effectively putting a real face on what otherwise might be just economic coercion (just in case that is not bad enough).

Who benefits the most from world bank loans, the country that privatized all of its services and is now indebted more than it can pay back, or the ones collecting astronomical interest? Yes, there is corruption, but this sounds suspiciously like sharecropping.

A good resource is the book “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” by John Perkins.

Anyway, what is the solution? Money is not a bad thing, but ethics are important. If nations were all promoting sustainable agriculture, energy, resources and technology so the goal was not to gain the most profit before you die, but to maintain a steady level of quality living we would all be much better off.

The problem with atlantis is that it destroyed itself with excess yang, or excess fire, patriarchalism and war. Does that ring a bell?

you dont follow the money. japan calls the shots. soon, it will be china. if they can acrew more US debt than the japanese.

It seems most people have energy drainage when they are sitting around using technology if I follow.

Perhaps the Healing Tao should produce a sitting qigong similar to Sheng Zhen Healing Qigong?
