It is clear that the human race can do things that no other animal on this planet can do. It is like a gift, but it is our choice to use it or destroy it. Scientist say that the probability that a species such as ours coming into existance is extreme. Why not use our gifts to drive ourselves to become better through non physical evolution? When will we become one of the view species to ever colonize another planet? That fact that a human can question is what makes us so unique.

Don't save the world - live as part of it. Which is ment in a similar vain as the saying of Mahatma Gandhi, "Be the change you wish to see."

When I was beat down by the world around me it became very easy to respond with hate and contempt. Just letting those emotions take over preserved ("saved") the environment which lead to those emotions. Talk about a perpetual motion machine! It is a struggle when the wounds are fresh or the scars a constant reminder.

If you want the human race to be other than you see it - be that change and the world will follow. Not to say the human race won't end, but to do nothing is to let others choose for you.

Nothing in literature can get this point across to you. Nothing in our words or others. You can read all you want about making spaghetti, but nothing will replace tasting it live. You will know when it is time. When you meet the perfect smile. When you see your own come into this world and how they cling to you, you will know.

When you put all your anger into something positive as you have lived through more than most at your age, you will become your own example of why there is a worth.

The option is death. So try to lie down on your back. Close your eyes, close your mind and pretend that you are dead. No more movement, no more feeling, no more effort to survive. Just leave your mind and lie dead forever. Try it for just 15 minutes. Now how fun is that?

But if you ask me the answer is very simple. Don't ask yourself such crappy questions. One day when you will die, you will then be dead for eternity and you will have all the time in the world to ask yourself all sorts of questions. But now that you are here, it is your choice to be the best person you can, not to make the best world you would like. If you become the best you can, and if others do the same, then you will know that you cannot save humanity. You can only save yourself from yourself.

Last thing. Your mind and the way you tune it will attract the very conditions you convey. It goes above and beyond any other power. The power of the mind to create the reality that it is continuously thinking of. So, change your thoughts and YOUR WORLD will change for you. And that is all that really matters. Be aware that your mind is not your best friend. It will torment you, it will make you ask so many crazy questions and give you so many phobias, and for some, it will make you jump off a bridge. Now what kind of friend is that. So your own mind, this powerful magnifier needs to be controlled. When you learn to control it, you will know you are saved.

Yawn.  Not convinced.  Sorry.  I've been abused by teachers, pinned down and strapped to a dentist's chair and had teeth pulled, beaten and permanently maimed by a bullies, beaten by parents, uprooted and moved to a different city 5 times, operated on, come to be addicted to drugs, and even had a gun held to my head by a gangster, all before I was 16.

Then, I escaped to college and university, got qualified to obtain work visas to teach English to stupid rich people in foreign countries so I could go and see what it was like other countries.  I realized it was worse everywhere. 

What irony!  The world is so f****d up that it has ended up conspiring against the very creative geniuses that could in fact actually come up with the solutions that would actually save the world.

LOL

What irony indeed.

Does anyone else see the irony?

LOL

I'm having a great time laughing at this irony.

Of course, I have no desire whatsoever to lift any sort of proverbial finger to help humanity.

In fact, humanity should be glad that I am, in fact, such a nice person as to not seek revenge.  Humanity should be happy with me for that.

I will be glad to sit back and watch humanity spiral down around the proverbial drain, unless someone comes up with a better argument than "there is a little bit of something worth saving in everybody".

BAH!

That's normal and not unusual.  There are millions of people doing the exact same thing, and millions of others who'd like to do that if they could, and still more who are doing it but not within the confines of their rooms.

The difficulty is, you are human too and also exhibit, in some form or another, all of the repulsive features you see in others.  So, really, all your struggles are struggles with yourself.  It's perfectly natural to want to run from that fact, but even if you do there is no escaping from it, not really, as running from it only perpetuates it.

The question I have in relation to your fantastical journeys is, what is a journey without a destination?  It is pointless, meaningless, temporary wandering.  At best, a scenic tour.  So then, is that what you are, a tourist?  If not, then you must have a direction or purpose, a destination beyond the scenic views.  Go to that destination, via your train of thought, through the wonderful landscapes of your mind.  That is where the answer to all your questions awaits.

I don't want to say much more than this because this isn't really the place for it.  I've said what I said because in your words I see a kindred spirit, a fellow traveller.  You've made me smile and I wish you all the best.

Les.   

lol...

 

Ok than why are you posting here? You asked for an explaination several people responded with their views. I personally don't see where this thread has anything to do with research of unity, over-unity, free-energy or any kind of mechanism to produce such an effect. You say your content with bieng seporated from society but you come into this forum looking for interraction from society.


Why bother? you ask.. DOGMA!!!
