“The Western worldview says, in essence, that
technological progress is
the highest value and
that we were born to consume, to endlessly use
and
discard natural resources, other species,
gadgets, toys, and often,
each other. The most
highly prized freedom is the right to shop. It’s a
world of commodities, not entities, and economic
expansion is the
primary measure of progress.
Competition, taking, and hoarding are
higher
values than cooperation, sharing, and gifting.
Profits are valued
over people, money over
meaning, entitlement over justice, “us” over
“them.” This is the most dangerous addiction in
the world, not only
because of its impact on
humanity but because it is rapidly undermining
the
natural systems that sustain the biosphere.”

Well said...
That made my bosom glow?
'Twas sweet, but neither sun nor wind
Could raise my spirit so.
Was it some feeling of delight,
All vague and undefined?
No, 'twas a rapture deep and strong,
Expanding in the mind!"
- Anne Bronte, In Memory of A Happy Day in February.

Fr Edgar Cayce's reading
The appearance of man - of his consciousness
in this world - was in five
different places, as
the five different races, at the same time. The
white race appeared in the Carpathian
basin, the yellow in Tibet,
the red in Atlantis,
the brown in Lemuria, the black in Africa. The
difference in color represented an adherence to
laws already set in
motion for the earth. The
world of the earth was to be cognized by five
senses - five methods of awareness. Thus the
earth had to be
experienced, and perfection had
to be reached, in these five methods of
awareness.
The races represent these five.

U learn to see the need behind people's actions and respond with compassion, even if just in your mind.
