What is the Root of all evil?

[Mikal]

A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred......quote by SB...


A valid statement about the death toll due to war and occcupation of a foreign land and its people.

I have examined the affects of the war on those surviving. Pharmacuetical drug use has skyrocketed due to the affects of anxiety, fear, panic and depression about a long-lasting situation which persists among the masses...when viewing the war its wise to take the war equation to the question..."at the end of what is occurring...who is benefiting"????...the answer reveals alot....Cheney's ammunition company, corporations involved in private security, stockholders investing in disaster scenarios, and the pharmecuetical giant corporations....

Most of those who appear to "succeed" within the current system, do so at great expense to the majority: both morally and materially.

exactly -
it's why the majority cannot turn the other cheek -
- certainly for the best for the majority
and just as certainly -
- for the best
to the minority who'd are actually incapable of understanding this argument -

- in the case of those who're obscenely rich and believe themselves to be powerful, one need imagine them as small children who have just soiled their trousers
- lead them upstairs and help them to change -
whilst being careful not to make them feel bad for their own incapacity to exert self control for net benefit to society -
offensive anti-social stink from the seat of their variegated pin-striped pants.

Those who altruistically realise their specific, individual talents will truly "shine," regardless of the amount of payment. They will happily continue to contribute for the good of all, which is utlimately to their own psychological, emotional and spiritual advantage.

- is the only way forwards -

- there is no room in society for those who would concentrate their efforts in any vista other than those which

contribute [to] good [for] all

- it's

for their own psychological, emotional and spiritual advantage.

- sole problem though that only at a certain stage in our mental development,
at the stage at which wisdom beckons -
at that specific stage can we ~actually~ feel the nature of this argument

- accordingly -

society need be reformatted to prevent the excesses of abuse exerted by confused immature minds on the rest of us -
that animal desire to have that which another
does
not

- such that when the time comes and

~ ~ ~ wisdom ~ ~ ~

that the transition
made without
pain

pain which comes from being prevented from making the change through subservience to materialistically enforced legislation which cares nothing for intelligence
and
everything for dollar$ a'crude
- barrels of laughter,
it is not -

oil companies, car cos, bank cos, insurance cos, pension cos, plastic toy cos, alcohol cos, cigarette cos, cola cos, battery farming cos, pharmaceutical and agrochemical cos, construction cos, tel cos, tourism cos -

politi cos with talons into religi cos
- with their bureaucrati cos and militia cos
corporate lawyers

bureaucrati cos in science, publishing, housing,
a species of paper pushers

- a synopsis of modern man 30,000 years after speciation -

how we've come on ?

all domains mentioned to some extent previously -
most of which will either be decimated or completely eliminated by post-ToE cos -

post-ToE communities
- or is that singularly
- a one world community ?

closed standard closed system
manufacturers
closed door closed gate
ring-fenced,
perimeter guarded

- the land of the free who've taken to peculiar
re-appraisal
of the
notion
of

liberty.

how hard will it be to explain that the profit$ which they're making are not profitable -

not to us
not to those who they steal their profit$ from
and
not even to them

- pushing the idea of credit and debt to one side
(methods which I believe are insupportable)

- there's a fixed size pot -
and some with too much and some with too little -

what is one to do?

define physical, mental and spiritual needs and ensure that all people have their needs met

- we cover our collective present and future and ensure our own happiness, a better future for our children

a dream worth living for
and
principles worth dying towards.

In the past there has been a drive towards living in urban centres -
I believe that we're going to observe a reversal in this pattern as people grow claustrophobic in cities.

The network allows geographically distributed work patterns.

A reduction in population and increased self-sufficiency -
always on communication lines courtesy of ultra-fast wireless connectivity

- life will become a holiday -
work will be what we do to make us happy -

and whatever it is that we contribute to community -
we'll understand that everybody else is contributing similarly -

I wish you believed in life
- believed in fate
believed you were lucky
and worth the wait

- imagine what we'd see if a couple of billion people aimed their sight on making life better for all of one another
'all for one and one for all'
once and then for all -
and all
concomitantly.

believed in life
- believed in fate

because
... ... well ... ...
life could be (just so) lovely
Oh (hell yeah!)
life could be just so
really so
just so
really
so

great

We all struggle with the constant battle to understand device categories. UMPCs, netbooks, MIDs and other labels that, on the whole, are simply there so that the manufacturers can produce multiple similar devices with different target customers, pricing, and marketing strategies. If you look back at every term we use today you’ll find that it came from a sales/marketing/PR group and I bet that all of them have their roots in generating new revenue. Wouldn’t it be nice if you were a computing company that didn’t have to worry about existing product ranges though. You have a completely free and open remit to make a device that spans as many markets as possible and would end up with something at the limits of technology, not at the limits of shareholder acceptance! OQO did it with the 02 and now Raon have done it with the Everun Note.

Wheeler's
Theory of energetic evolution by emergence
- geometry by numbers

[eriqinmos]

the reality of what is percieved and known... as EVIL

Saṃsāra (it's like an experience, perhaps even predisposed by previous incarnations of ourselves)

the ONLY cessation.... is to stop perpetuating it

yes, like the momentum of Adam and Eve---affecting us today!

[Mikal]

Hi eriqinmos...welcome to the TOE....
The ability to perceive evil is called "the evolution of social consciousness". From the 1960s to the 90s we have been evolving through to that level of consciousness where it has accelerated to millions of people becoming aware of environmental degradation, social injustice and other human atrocities. We have been calling this an "awakening" but it is really the evolution of social consciousness and it is a metamorphosis affecting all gradually.....

where Mikal's

'metamorphosis'

state 1 -> state 2

requires state 2 to take state 1's place thereby witnessing

Eriq's 'cessation' (of state 1).
