Living ENERGY
 Life
also entails
non-sustainable and virtual states beyond dealing with physical matter that seduce us,
but also allows us to understand the context of matter. We now live at a time where we can no longer afford
to give in too much to seductions, since they tend faster and faster to have
more undesirable global
consequences. On the other hand we have created the means to reframe our problems
and solve them. For that purpose we urgently require meta-problem solving capacities
that clearly discerns what is available for manipulation, and what has to be acknowledged
as a basis for a sustainable world. Life as such provides this capacity, and
the time has come where humanity needs to rediscover it rather than go
on competing with life and reengineering driven by simplifying
philosophies justifying greed, in lack of understanding.
Since the beginning of civilization it has been characteristic of human
beings to develop new forms in their collectives, e.g. in the shape of language,
inventions and cultural interests in order to maintain further development. These cultural
energies helped one group of men exchange with another. Groups also specifically
developed diverse cultural energies. To ensure these developments could be continued, and in
order to adapt readily to the necessities of life, men had to raise their children
carefully and entrust them to teachers. While representing their people, rulers were able to channel the
cultural patterns through time and space. Priests and other religious
leaders also continually induced men to interact with magical, spiritual and divine
energies, so individuals could know that aspect of life too,
pay service to it, grow, and even
attempt to become one with it...
Sensitive people, partly because they are aware of this
fact, look for the meaning of their personal life, and practice the art of living a fulfilled
life. It is only when we are conscious of ourselves that we can begin to live in a way
in which we no longer entirely live off the deaths of other lives. We then
discover that we want to find the non-tangible source of life
that allows us to grow
actively beyond our physical material selves. This in turn encourages us to support life as such in
return for the life we require to live. It is an undeniable fact that it is only
self-conscious humans who are able to do that. Sadly right up until today such individuals
are usually hindered in doing what has to be done in time, by their fellow men
entrapped in mere
organizational forms, the modern form of idolatry..
We see that it is quite
possible to enjoy life in a humane and meaningful way together. We can increase the
joy of life within ourselves and together with others, gain the fulfillment of wishes and
reach goals which are more than the sum of the individual contributions. Then we may grow
out of the deadly fragmentation which in the best of cases can only allow us to rule in
the short-term, and go beyond that we loose ourselves in the whole. Humans have the
freedom to choose between the creation of
lifefulfilling synergy, and the continued use of
"divide and rule" strategies, death- technologies and other short-term survival
attempts, at the cost of other lives and our own beings and its life-fulfillment. That is
the real choice we have. |
