    Re: The Role of Mankind

    What is the Role of Mankind. ?


    Maybe mankind's role is to do nothing.
    Except to surf the mystery of the moment.
    What ever happens in that moment will happen.
    I know this sounds obvious.
    But if we don't change our thinking patterns we are going to extinct ourselves.
    And we don't want to do that do we ?
    After all we are quite clever little bunnies aren't we?
    Did our brain get too big?
    Do we need to go back to the drawing board.
    Start from scratch, dearie me, that'll spook the Quantum Mechanic people.
    We've been given this awesome planet to live on, and she's a beauty,we can't deny that.
    We must start thinking about what we are doing to her.
    If we are to stay with her.
    We need to treat her and all her other companions with the respect they deserve.

    NOW
    What and Who are YOU ?
    You are the unchangeable Awareness in which all activity takes place.
    Always rest in peace. You are eternal Being, unbounded and undivided.
    Just keep Quiet. All is well. Keep Quiet Here and Now.
    You are Happiness, you are Peace, you are Freedom.
    Do not entertain any notions that you are in trouble.
    Be kind to yourself.

    NOW
    That is the role of mankind.
    If he thinks there is another role,
    it's because his brain got too big.
    Not his fault, However.
    No honestly
    This really is the role of mankind.
    If man wants to think otherwise,
    then he's going to find himself in a lot of trouble.
    We cannot achieve and maintain extraordinary and revolutionary leaps of evolution.
    Until we first learn to love each other unconditionally without fear.
    What on earth do we possibly lack.
    We are perfection, already.
    SEE the miracle of the human body.
    What an achievement that is.
    That's not our doing, nothing is our doing.
    Doing is just done, by no-one.

    When are we going to realize we are both life and death simultaneously.
    AWAKENING, to that realization will be our only salvation.
    We are the divine.
    All we need to do is be it.
    Which is a contradiction i know.

    Just as we tend our own back garden well, so must we tend each other well.
    For we are ONE BEING being human.
    First we must get our own house in order.
    The rest will be automatic.
    Heaven will be restored on earth once again.
    The place it never left.
    Heaven is eternal presence.
    We are it's witness. AWARENESS
    Amen.

    melanie.

    Re: The Role of Mankind

    Melanie from the choices we have to pick from in the United States, I'd vote for you. We'll have to change our Constitition however. You could just talk the terrorist into submission.

    Best,

    P.S Drifter would make a great VP candidate for you, when you got tired of talking he could take over. The UN might consider this as torture though.

    Yes, they definitely had a purpose in preparing the stage for Man. I've always thought that their over-scale proportions gave them the "range" that at that time would not have been possible any other way. From a mechanistic point of view, it's as though they were giant "distribution" machines...

    If the current position of a planet depends on the state of the motion/matter density that makes it up; and all other densities and motions are innertwined throughout the entire universal framework and are relative to each other; by us redistributing this resource and causing shifts within our planet (possibly orbital; due to the appearance and current state of a planet appearing to determine its position from the sun; as our sister planets appear to be a progressive state of decay); we are also possibly affecting the rest of the system as well.
    What's happening to our planet is one of my concerns. There are several cycles converging. We are overdue for a pole shift. Our magnetic field is incredibly weak and this affects our atmosphere and protection from the Sun. The Sun is in a period of increased solar flare activity. If it weren't for pollution the planet's temperature would be AT LEAST 1 deg C higher! Have a look at an item titled, "Global Warming: A Convenient Lie" by Andrew G Marshall dated March 15, 2007 on www.globalresearch.ca.

    Two different environmental researchers took measurements when all the aircraft were grounded after 911, expecting the temperature to decrease. In fact it increased by 1 deg C, proving that just the con-trails from aircraft alone are providing protection from the Sun's increased activity. All the planets in our solar systm have experienced temperature increases in the past 10 years, some by 10 deg C.

    I've also noticed of late that the term "Global Warming" has neatly been replaced with the more accurate "Climate Change" title. The impositions of our stupid politicians (advised by even stupider, should-know-better, self-serving "experts"), like the Kyoto Protocol, however remain in place world-wide. It's all a power game and you and I are the dupes...Ah, good to have a little rant every now and then.

    Yes, and in so doing are we accelerating our "Universal clock?" There are a growing number of people who are very aware of the need for Mankind to realize who he is and role he has to play...

    Just pulling MY head back from the quantum world for a moment and looking at the really big picture.

    Re: The Role of Mankind

    Hi leskey;

    The Mayans may be right when their calendar, and they believed the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012 at 11:00 AM.

    If that is the case you may at 10:00 on that day want to grab your ankles and kiss your beautiful sweet ass goodbye.

    Best,

    Pat

    Huh??? Austin all that's missing here is a "thingy-whatsy"...

    Do any of your sources have any further ideas?
    About time? I'm not sure what the question is exactly...

    There was a "beginning" to this particular dimension/existence. But after the drum roll and the big "Ta-daah!" there was something missing, US: both the actors and the audience.

    The infinte scale of the Universe is proof of the eternal realm. It has always intrigued and challenged Mankind. It provides stimulus in this material existence and has to date also served to contain us. Mankind is but the blink of an eye in the scale of time, yet we're already "poking holes" in the void.

    The limitlessness is a source of inspiration, awe and wonder. If, instead, the world was housed in a giant, cardboard, "cosmic box," can you imagine how different WE would be? Actually, would we still BE at all?

    Infinite scale may be confirmation that we are destined to be "cosmic" creatures, that we have yet to "realise" our purpose.

    The missing "thingy-whatsy" was your SCSPL theory.

    Thanks, Pat. I think I'll arrange for someone to do that one last time for me...being "the end" and all...
