Thank you David and John for your welcome. The struggle must be there if we wish to effect change. And, as you said said John ‘If one isn’t dead then one must be alive’ – it depends on your definition of dead, but that’s for another day. I’ll be back after Monday when reality sinks in. In the meantime, I wish you both a very happy, healthy, thoughtful New Year. Have fun and be safe, Robert
P.s. Plato wrote of this “Dangerous Creation” (in his Allegory of the Cave) but as education no longer teaches humanities they will never know.

Thank you David

Maybe far away but still with you and your struggle, if possible, more than a 100%.

Happy New Year to all of you.

If one isn’t dead one must be alive!

Hello David!

back on DangerousC.
hope you all are well.

suddenly this mail came into my mailbox (I am very buzy on Facebook (my name there is=”John Jensen”)
? – how did that happen??? some days old…but the situatio hasn’t changed much since then.

“That Iraq is now a chaotic mess, worries the Yanks not at all!” right it gets worse day by day
wonderful to read your (still) precise discription by the (zionist-led) aggression against Iran.
———-
“America and Israel are the true enemies of the Free World. They both need to taste some Shock and Awe, don’t you think? – it could be really nice”

PROTEST OR PERISH!

And so I do…

Happy new year to all of you wonderful people on dangerousCre…

Grace, that I have been able to help you makes me happy. Our little community here has mutual benefit for all who contribute. Aspects of your journey have a connection to Buddhism which, as a philosophy, guides much of my own life. To accept that we will grow old and die, that we will get sick, that people will abandon us, etc, means that we can accept things and not let them spoil our lives. Then, when good things happen, that’s a bonus!

Sending things to Haiti shows your depth of character, Grace. You are well named.

Anger is appropriate, David. I think I need to read, Stranger In A Strange Land.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_in_a_Strange_Land

Also, read some very interesting Aldous Huxley on human nature, The Ultimate Revolution. Unfortunately, I found it at ICH! But interesting reading, nevertheless.

Personally, I waver between outrage and just wishing the bad would go away – while I take steps to move my life in a better direction, That is the best I can describe it. I wish I genuinely felt more hopeful, but I want to feel positive and enjoy this gift of life.

P.S. I just cleaned out my house and gave more than ten large boxes and bags of clothing, medicine, blankets to be delivered to Haiti. These things will be brought directly, by a parent at my son’s school ,who has family in Haiti – so I know those things will go directly to those that can really use them.

It feels good to let go. It is like losing psychic weight and the spirit becomes lighter and Richer!. That is the best I can describe it. I mean, we will have to let go, one day, in death. I will tell you a secret to why my realationships are strong. Because I have to be willing to walk away at any given moment. Not hastily or spitefully, but in the sense of preservation of what is right and true. When I had to walk away from my family and be all alone in the world, I found out that some people will abuse that knowledge and think they have me prisoner – because I have nowhere to go. I am only a willing prisoner of love and life, not one kept by violence to the soul. To trust that I won’t fall off the edge of the Earth if I venture beyond the horizon. That is the faith I have chosen to live by.
Thanks David for giving me a place, where I am not a total stranger, to vent and process the stuff of a planet and a life.
Peace all.

Wow, excellent link, indeed. This subject has not only become relevant to – every person on Earth, but in my own life, this subject of psychopathy is deeply important, something that I seek to understand. They say it is a genetic trait, mainly. Especially for the hardcore 1% and then the other 5% (6% total) who learn through early exposure and weakness, to go along with psychopathy. Then there are people who are exposed and at the mercy of a psychopath, who will never be at heart – a cruel, ruthless person, they will be victims and that is a big chunk of society. It is the right thing to promote: the general knowledge of this subset of society. Sheeple CAN wake up, but they have to stop being under the spell of their Master. I have personally experienced this separation from a psychopath at least twice in my life. We have to be willing to let go – at any cost. For me, it has been to live without a family. To be all alone in the World, except for my husband, son and now again, my mother. I did not speak to her for nine years at one time because she always put the protection of my psychopathic brother above my very well being. To the point that I had to leave my home that I owned, because he was in it. My mother did everything along the way to ensure “Damien’s” existence. It is deep. And, I belonged to a certified cult for 6+ years.

The situation in Israel is one where the general masses are victims of psychopathic leaders. it creates a cult situation. One described well in the above link.

Thanks for the links.

Morocco, because of our genetics, we inherit many predisposition/instincts: lust, fight or flight, the will to survive, etc. Human behaviour is a combination of nature and nurture. People still argue about how important each is.

I agree that it is a difficult task to clear peoples’ minds of indoctrination. But I don’t believe it is impossible. Children are born with an innate curiousity and that trait must lie dormant somewhere inside each adult. To start the process going, all that needs to be done is to shatter a few of the major indoctrinations that people hold: that some God exists or that our nation was born to rule the world. Once that process begins and people begin to think for themselves, anything is possible.

Your five year plan sounds marvellous. When I complete my Degree I did some education courses and looked at various educators who have tried different ways to educate rather than indoctrinate. I wish you well in your endeavour but, if you haven’t done so, do some homework. Reinventing the wheel is rather futile!

A rain forest of critical thinkers! If only.

Cheers.
