I am going to keep this brief and not allow comments. I cannot take most people here at face value anymore. To be honest I feel I am in high school when I read conversations and some comments. I say this with sadness, not judgement.
There is a difference between being honest and seeming positive. Being honest doesn't mean one is negative and/or only sees what is wrong in the world. It just means one has courage, love, honesty and respect for the truth, no matter what that truth reveals. Double messages are not loving.
Saying one is loving and/or forgiving does NOT make them that way. It is also not loving or forgiving to indulge madness and/or corruption.
This is a Spiritual Forum. One where people are supposed to come together and see the unity of all life in all the cosmos, and actually initiate change.
What do I mean by double messages and liars? Here are some examples:
I hear so much about love. Loving oneself and loving others. This is said in the same breath as people take sides and justify killing, destruction, forcing people from their homes and torture. Now honestly, isn't this a double message?
I hear we are all one, yet people separate others by race, religion and etc. We are all one, but depending on what group you belong to, other groups are wrong and/or no good. For example....Arabs don't take care of their own, Rebublicans are wrong, the Jews have always been persecuted, men vs women. Are we all one or not?
There is horror expressed at the site of sex and things considered pornographic, but invading countries without just cause, killing, maiming and/or raping people in other lands is talked about, rationalized and considered somewhat ok. Using up our natural resources, destroying the earth, children without arms in wars for no reason is spoken of, but without true action to make a change.... BUT DON'T YOU DARE SHOW ME NUDITY OR TWO PEOPLE ENGAGING IN SEX....OH MY!
This is supposedly the place to come to where people see beyond social norms, and the everday 3D. That has not been evident most of the time.
Yes we are all from the same source, therefore when do we start taking responsibility for that and coming from the love, potential, infinite/cosmic meaning of what that truly means?
Therefore one has to conclude that people here on NCN, are no different than the average person who does not do spiritual work. In fact, I hold you all more responsible, because at least you are on some kind of quest for a better world. Don't just get insulted now, take a look, think about it, and for all our sakes...take it seriously and take real action.
Unfortunately, as I write this, the question in my mind, is why am I writing this? Very few are going to take it seriously or do anything to change.....there is too much invested in the ego and image they hold on to so dearly.

this is quite a difficult situation as it is clear that real overwhelming change will not occur so long as we let the modern world sap our time.
My perception of this difficult situation drives me to the belief that we must create a foundation, a bedrock from which we can help develop each other. That means coming together as a community.
If an alternative to the modern world is proposed you make a doorway for people to step out of the community that they have come to find revolting.
It's important for us to regain the means to creation and production of goods as well as farming. If you build the alternative and it works, people will come.
The hard part is making it so everyone gets along.

I have never belonged in this form I wear. I refused my father when I let my younger brother die on the cross in my place. For this I paid a price you would and can not understand. The God of the bible is not the true creator of all. But mortals can not understand or comprehend this. The bible is a step in reaching the truth. All relegions, even the Satanic ones are a path to the truth. Most wear blinders and can not see the road.
