Hi Gentlemen,
It is a tremendous privilege to share your company on this Forum.
I am glad to see that the discussion has meanwhile gained some even more quality.
I would like to begin with the observation of Zynox, for it is seems to me to be the core of the issue.
Survivor.
Why should the Life of a Human Being be reduced to a matter of pure elementary, physical survival?
Is Earth not generous enough?
Is there not enough food, water and the rest for all Humans?
Are sciences and technologies not providing us - through the hard and noble work and dedication of magnanimous scientists, who, most of the time, do not care about money and live a modest life - with means to eradicate most of diseases and improve the Existence of each and every Human Being?
But what is the current and real state of our affairs?
Allow me to quote a post i placed on another Forum, dealing with slightly the same issue:
"Some people, may be even 2/3 of the Earth population - our own fellow Humans - have every single morning to fight, to look for food and drinking water; those things we, in other parts of the world, take for granted.
I think that this situation is a painful and blunt illustration of the degree of disbalance in which we brought our societies, for the state of World Affairs is such that, in one part of the world, food and other commodities are being wasted, harvest being burned(to keep the prices high/make profit), huge resources are being invested in the military and the conquest of the space, while in another part, a piece of bread and a glass of water are a matter of daily survival and people can hardly keep their Human Dignity; Humans die here of diseases and other 'simple' bacteries, while the remedy is there long ago found - but not made available(also regarding the price) to the needies.
It is a shame; our ways of doing things are below Human Dignity and contain no trace of the Spirituality, which is supposed to be our genuine essence.
We need another, a completely new world order and the teaching of Herr Meier indicates the path to be consciously built and followed."
I would truly appreciate your thoughts on this.
My stance is that it could be a good begin if the elementary means of survival(education, shelter, medicine, food, water...) are made accessible to ALL Human Beings - i would leave the question of the ways and means to reward those producing these commodities for their work to the discretion of the Forum.
Another point.
Overpopulation is a fact.
But it would be, i think, appropriate to distinguish between two sets of problems:
- overpopulation, as a real and urgent problem to be urgently and wisely solved - certainly not the way the so-called 'Illuminaties' see it!
- and the change of The Human Society and the possible models for the future, which question we are here specially focusing on.
(No need to remember you of the 'solution' of the power-to-be or that of those from the shadom!)
In other words, what would be a rational, wise path forward?
Should be carry our past along? Some of the structures being currently issued? Some of those achievements - or as Historycircus put it:"Can we not take what has worked (in terms of economic behavior), what has been valuable to our existence here, with us when we cross the threshhold of whatever is coming? Must we throw the baby out with the bathwater, or is that a terrible way to conceptualize our potential situations?"?
Is it reason concevable to begin from zero?
How would we make it through the first - as a rule, always most challenging moment - steps without that 'backup'?
It seems to me that poverty and misery would arise from the second question only if we choose to stick to the status quo, to the current economic model(s) and the modes of production, distribution and use of created and/of natural resources, which precisely brought us into the ongoing tragic global situation.
The world we now live in is, after all, the world we ourselves created. We can always change, adjust or reject the reality we set up.
There is nothing that forbides us to wisely and with open arms welcome New, never tried Ideas, make some room for them in our Weltanschanschauung, use our creativity and the generosity of Mother-Earth to elevate ourselves, while sharing the opportunities we have with others and hence allowing them and ourselves to realize oneselves and the potentials we all carry within for the good of the New Society and Humanity as a whole.
It is hence a matter of choice, openness, solidarity, wisdom and management.
Bying gold and the like at this stage could be a good, pragmatic move, were the current structure to completly collapse the way Mr Green sees it: it would just be a matter of survival(once again!); a duty we all have towards ourselves and the Higher US we all carry.
We should first survive in order to begin anew.
