Re: No Need... *EDIT*

Enjoyed the dao videos -thank you.

Most certainly society is pseudo civilized, civilized only the surface, underneath it is quite barbaric. I have heard that this is really the reason why so many intelligent people, geniuses,  have simply dropped out and have become homeless. They are just not willing to participate in the insanity.

So it is already happening. Its good to hear that you have some friends like that -living in caves or similar settings. These people are the beginnings of the new era of humanity, the baby phoenix that will grow to rise out of the ashes of this so-called civilization that we find ourselves living in. It would be good to pay them a visit every now and again... just to keep in touch.... one foot moving out the door, so to speak. We are witnessing the present society as it is crumbling apart. Its been rotten through to the core for quite some time now. As it goes down it will increasingly wreak havoc on its members.

Please be careful with your expectations with regards to others. I, myself, have felt for the longest time like I'm living in village of blind people. When I tell them abou things that I see coming they think me mad, they ridicule or even get angry. They have invested much in what they have. A village of blind people, when they discover that there is someone amongst them that can see things when they cannot, they will become angry, hostile and ridicule, will keep their distance. They will not be happy with you until you become like they are, again blind. They may even try to take your eyes out so they can feel less threatened.

Most people love to give advice. They love to tell others what they should be doing. It strengthens their ego. It makes one feel they are on an elevated level to the other. There will never be a shortage of these people that want to hand out advice. Occasionally, you can run across an individual now and then that can be of help. But they are few and far inbetween to say the least.

I've been one of these people that has been a bit too sensitive to what has gone on around me, it has effected my body greatly. I needed to take a step back and take care of myself first before I could think about helping others. When this was pointed out to me, it made perfect sense. How could I help others when I couldn't take care of myself first. So, I've been taking care, that is my priority. Sure, occasionally, I make my voice heard but the primary focus for me is still to take care of myself. It was said to me that if I concerned myself with the whole world, it will not be of much use when I am not in such a healthy state. So the first thing is to change my being. First create a light within my own heart; try to create a luminousity. Then, maybe there is something that I will be able to do for others. This was the advice I got for myself. It may or may not apply to anybody else, as everyone is different.

Men and women have been living with each other for thousands of years and they still don't understand each other. It is something that will never come to pass. I have heard that the one thing that prevents this from happening is that on average man thinks of having sex once every four minutes and a woman - every seven minutes. That's it! That throws off the whole thing, the vibration, the thought process, everything is throw out of synch with just this slight difference. I think it was maybe a joke ; ) but it could also be true.

Everyone is made up of a man and a woman. Every child is conceived, created, by a man and woman. So each child has a bit of the parent within them. A person may be a male on the outside of his being, but inside there is a woman. And the same goes for a person that is feminine - outside she is a woman but has an inner man within. It is said when a man becomes older he becomes more feminine. Look at elderly people and you will see the hardness of a man is replaced with the roundness as a woman has. And the older a woman gets the more her inner man moves to the periphery.

The statues of enlightened men show them as being more feminine than masculine, with the exception of the statue of Buddha that represents Gautama Siddhartha. This is because at one time during India's history it experienced the presence of Alexander the Great who was a beautiful man, had a handsome athletic physique. The masculine physique of Alexander the Great had influence the artist mindset to the point that his image was superimposed over Guatama Buddha image. But if you look at the Chinese Buddha statues and they are very round, signifying the feminine qualities of an enlightened master.

Astrologers say the an era of sun dominance is coming to an end. With this new millennium humanity will be more affected by the energy of the moon. Sun is male energy and moon is feminine. The sun's influence has treated women with disdain, has brought much suffering. Woman is owed her just due. I am glad to hear and see that the balance will be tipping the other way more and more.
