| THE BATTLE... continued ( 2 ) Imagine, if our Creator is so powerful and so brilliant that they can create a self-sufficient race of bio-mechanical and self aware individuals like ourselves and allow them to live and function on a celestial body ( earth ) that is also fully self-sustaining and nurturing to us- then one can't help but wonder of our own complexity of being. Of course, they may even be so simple... Also, if you will, try explaining to a cockroach ' the meaning of their lives and of all life'... Hehe...sounds pretty inconceiveable. Of course, being as curious as we truly are, do you really believe that life would be as worth living now if we truly knew all that there is to know about it? Pretty predictable and boring if you ask me. What would be the point of exploring? Why is it that we can be so foolish to believe that if we can easily be influenced by the negative, that there is no positive influence also trying or already is influencing us right now? I, myself used to believe that we were left here with no instructions and no ' how to ' manuals or any kind words to help us understand ourselves and our existence as human beings. Sounds pretty convenient and presumptuous and also arrogant. Maybe we were left with instructions and ideas to help us in our daily walks as humans - only we have just forgotten how to interpret them. Just because we can't grasp the concepts within our hands or see them with the ' weak' eyes that we have learned to trust, doesn't mean that we were left with nothing to work with. If we were born with the power of thought transference (esp- yes...thoughts are also made of energy) and are capable of transmitting thoughts outwardly- who is to say that we can't reverse this process? Who is to say that we can't venture inward and ask within ourselves our most valued and precious questions? There are those that believe that we can, but in most cases when we get the truthful answers to what was asked, we don't necessarily always like or want to accept the answers that were given. Why would a truthful answer be ignored or overlooked? Fear. Fear of the truth. Why is it that people fear the truth? The Truth shatters our comfortable illusions. It is within our own non-acceptance of the truth that makes us weak and fearful. Our own non-acceptance of the truth also stops or retards our capacity for our maturing and learning process to become who we truly are. Where do we learn to deny the truth and fear it? The very ones who helped bring us into the world and sheltered us from it. We are raised to deny and be fearful of the truth and to teach others the same. We are not used to hearing the truth, and therefore fear what we haven't had the chance to face for ourselves. If we also fear the truth, it is because we don't understand it. Why is it that tribes- people can live comfortably within the jungle with so many other dangerous creatures? Can their parents always be there to protect their children from the dangers of the wild? Of course not. We were not raised in such an environment, and therefore might think that it is truly dangerous to us. What makes them so different from us? They live within their environments and are taught to respect, live with and understand the other creatures who also call the jungle their home. This may be inconceivable to us, but how do you think they would cope in our cities? They might believe the same as we do and fear everything arounds them ( Ex: cars, lights, noise, buildings..etc...). Of course they could learn to live in the cities or towns as we have done, but how long do you think it would be before they would want to return to their own environments? Now, here's the clincher... Out of each of these two worlds, which do you think is more powerful and natural? Hmmmmm...... Sure, we could believe that we are more powerful by what we have built, learned and gained. But in all of our masterpieces, comforts, trades, material possessions - what have we destroyed and sacrificed in order to obtain what we have and maintain it? We look at the tribes in this day and age and we would like to think they are savage and primitive with nothing much to offer. Have we truly taken a good look at what we have sacrificed in order to gain what we have? Where do we get the materials to make and build our cars, buildings, clothes etc...? Must come from somwhere... I don't see a ' material and possession fairy ' flying around and making materials just magically appear so that we may use them. How many tribes have been lost and how many animals have we mutilated and killed to create all of our ' things' that we have acquired? Who ever stopped to ask the forest if we could just ' clear -cut ' an entire section and use its precious contents for our own personal gain? Just because the trees and the earth do not speak our language, doesn't mean that they don't have life or a form of commuication of their own. Seems to me that we have over-stepped our bounds and taken what wasn't in our rights to take and what wasn't truly ' ours ' to begin with. What of the animals???... |
