It isn't possible to avoid suffering. Truly moral agents suffer on behalf of so-called 'moral patients' - namely, those others who are entitled to moral consideration, such as the disabled and animals, for instance.
The attractiveness of bubbles... |
As individuals, assuming we are of the kind 'who both hear and understand' and therefore are the only ones able to reach this 'other place,' this place of 'nesting in the branches thereof as birds of the air...' ...we cannot personally always sustain the required energy of continuously thinking about the welfare of all other 'moral patients' who are inside our view.
For those of you who have been reading here for some time, it will at some point soon, or it perhaps already has, hit you and hit possibly quite hard, that as soon as you grasp the available power - the power of high speed geometrical maths, futuristic maths, inside your mind, the power that could be there from, as the Taoists say 'consorting with the powers of Heaven...' - you will be turning around, turning back to see what you can do, what you are able to do, for the rest of the world which is in a kind of darkness.
This is typical of those who are applying their moral agency.
There will be odds and ends of things one may be able to do though not much, I would think.
You look at someone like David Wilcock - he may not have everything exactly correct, and I'm sure that he doesn't - but he has a few clues; he got permanently kicked off Wikipedia for 'not being a notable person.' LOL
The complex reflections of life. |
The world is intent on staying in permanent darkness. And that is because although 'animated,' as I suggested somewhere recently before, it is not actually alive in the same way as true moral agency in intelligent form, is.
Nothing goes up, which hasn't in the first place descended from the 'up' to the here...
Sadhguru (and I don't agree with him on this), says that human intelligence and intelligent consciousness springs from breaking through some kind of threshold along the curve of natural organic expansion and complexity - and he appeals to the Theory of Evolution to support his premise. I think he is being swayed by the need to sell books and events in the West and to avoid the trouble that Deepak Chopra once got himself into, arguing with Dawkins and various Western academic concepts.
Frankly, nothing could be further from the truth.
And you will realize this as soon as you have the experience of encountering any kind of 'community mind' (this concept itself comes from the academic literature on 'Moral agency' in which there is virtually a political statement being made about people all agreeing together that they are seeking the avoidance of suffering, hence becoming a 'community') which is of a genuinely 'advanced' kind.
You see, what is very clear is just how rigid, rigorously self-defined, organized, unswerving, not bribe-able, these people all are!
As humans we tend to do this kind of 'moral suasion' thing: 'look, if you could just...'
But can I just tempt you...? |
But if you could just...
If, and/or when, you ever get to 'encounter' anything of the kind of thing that I have been talking about here recently, my advice is the immediate next thing you do is stop worrying about the rest of the world, the rest of the planet, the whole planet - just take a break and go where you are being led. They know what they are doing and they have more and better information than we do. If the world is going to hell in a hand-basket (as my dad used to say) it's none of our business and none of our concern and there is moreover nothing we can do about it. If the thing we are working on now eventually comes out, it is going to be very very frightening - not your problem, though. And not mine, either. It is not our problem. So what if these weirdo sci fi futuristic humanoid plague locusts... You know what I'm saying.
We are 'the middle children of history; born to late to explore the planet, too early to explore the stars...' And way too late to effect radical change - to pull the chestnuts out of the fire, as it were; the fire is already burning, and hot and strong.
I'm very much afraid to say, 'it is what it is' now.
'I don't know, John - can you?' |
One of the reasons I post some of these EDM trance music items here is that behind what you hear is an awful lot of structure and musical tradition - although it might not immediately seem so. Here is an interesting example. This is Giuseppe Ottaviani. He is a completely classically-trained musician behind it all, behind all the modern technology. These guys are the people who interface with mainstream people like Hans Zimmer, who is one good example of someone who absorbs a lot of their work in order to score big time Hollywood movies.
Ottaviano here is using the Ableton Live 10 computer system, which is effectively an AI processing algorithm, which takes what he inputs, and creates some dynamic, live 'progressional' flows that fulfill his own style of composing, on top of which he then plays after these patterns have been established. This is real AI in partnership with the human being.
