We are complete but we have defected. And so, we chase ourselves to remember. This is the cause of creation; our perfect classroom for recovery.
Each seed must grow its own flower and there is only one flower for all.
Instinct and Intuition
All being One means, quite simply, that we are God. We are already complete. In the meantime we are moving about trying to remember who we are without knowing that the very movement itself conspires against our possibility of remembrance. This is the great debacle of life, our catch-22. Because we are complete we naturally facilitate remembrance by bringing to bear all that is necessary to bring about our return to memory. The world is a classroom, alive only for our need. It is filled with all the teaching tools we call nature. Instinct is a lower form of intuition. Nature is instinct bound and its constant recurrence is our lesson to learn. Our archetype is God and therefore cannot be bound to instinct. Our archetypal commitment requires intuition.
Because of overpopulation and its associated diseases, we are once again in a state of critical imbalance. We are not animals’, we do not honor the natural laws of reciprocation that place balance as a priority in all events. In the natural world, death is the unquestioned common denominator with complete authority to perform its balancing function. Consequently, the natural world is a state of efflorescence without compromise.
The world is the classroom for us to learn who we are. But, over-breeding has destroyed its purpose. The point of no return has passed and the objective now is damage control. The culling has begun. Destructive elements are poised and as the posturing transfers to confrontations, these in turn will initiate a domino effect of fear that will run rampant causing more and more borderline interests to react. This momentum will continue to gather speed until the planet is once again returned to useful purpose.
An important difference between humanity and natural life is that nature pays as it goes whereas we pay only on the way out. It is not hard to figure out who is smarter in this equation. We need to re-evaluate everything we think about and align it with a balancing equation that honors the ongoing reciprocation necessary to maintain a balance that will harmonize with nature as a priority that offers no compromise under any condition.
Obviously, we are not going to ritually kill our children or offer ourselves on the altar to be sacrificed as some ancient traditions have done. We must achieve this balance by rationalizing procreation as the domain of animal and plant life alone. They are our teachers and we must learn to observe them closely and realize that the very reason they always reach their best possible potential under any circumstances is because death is not their master. Each teacher by honoring the prerogative of death is describing to us its perfect advantage in terms of the universal truth: all is one or each one is all.
They answer to their archetypes without a thought and repeat this activity so that we may take notice; they say to us, “Look, it’s easy, all you have to do is accept that death is life and let go!" The archetype of humanity is God and every single person on the planet knows intuitively how to achieve this. It only requires the disciplined and practical awareness of getting out of one’s own way.
Humanity is buried in thinking and to simply not think at this point is hardly a reasonable possibility. We require a process and there is no magical formula. We must use the same vehicle that got us here in the first place; we must think our way out of the mess by applying a more aware reason and logic to approach the new objective.
The journeyer coming back through thinking must accept that humanity’s archetypal commitment requires the power of complete intuition. Any level of instinct can only meet the archetype designed for it. We are not the teachers and can not respond to any archetype other than our own. Consequently, any level of instinct measures to a false promise. We control that which we do not understand and in our ignorance we claim the teachers as our own, forcing them to bend to our will, to respond, to think! We bully them to a submission they have no awareness of and as a consequence we end up, over and over again, being thrown out of paradise to pay for our mistake on the way out.
The Thing to Win
Natural rhythm is not ours to win
We are not trees
Or flowers
Or birds of wing
We are just lost in nature’s thing
We are God
We have no-thing.
Repeat: God is One: All is One; one is All. In other words, each and every one of us without limitation is God. We must journey back from our deception by using thinking instead of allowing thinking to use us. As we move out of our tendency to control we join with others on their own paths to increasingly merge to a common event. On it goes until all paths have merged to the heart of One; common archetype realized.
By accepting the separate agendas of instinct and intuition we recognize the teachers and finally hear their message. As a consequence of this awareness we begin to move in opposition to our evolutionary path. We finally recognize that we are going the wrong way and turn back to face the journey home.
A point is reached during this ongoing involution when ecological balance is restored. But, if we remain conscious and focused on our archetype, we will not remain at this level. We will continue to harvest as the teachers reduce in due proportion to our assertiveness. Soon, the universe itself begins to dissolve until finally all will be gathered up into the completeness of One. The harvesting will be complete.
To realize our archetype we must ‘stop the leaves from falling’. We must gather up and not scatter out. The true direction is not outside, it is inside. The only child to be born into the world at this late stage should be one’s own inner child. This must become the intention and the new purpose for procreation. Jesus said: “To enter the Kingdom one must become as a child”. These are not idle words. Each must pay attention to their own process by aspiring to who we are.
Application to the process of self purification, even at this late stage, can reduce dramatically the level of culling now required before the teachers feel their effectiveness return to an acceptable level of reasonable possibility. It is time to see things as they are and not as we choose them to be. The end is near.
Instinct is a reduced level of intuition. The teachers meet their divine prerogatives to provide for us an ongoing efflorescence of life and death. They answer to their archetypal commitments in an ongoing dance of love. Nature is our guide, there is no death. When we become as nature, things will find their way and all will cleanse. All will gather to love and the ongoing cycle of re-washing our dirty laundry will be broken.
If we only let it be, love is there to free.
Rationalizing procreation is the basic requirement of involution.

Overpopulation? some wish to have children but they don't ever will have one, some don't want children and throw them out with the garbage, but many illiterate make a lot of children because some religious idiot has a dream about taking over the world by the sheer weight of numbers, even if those numbers are hungry and without a roof over their heads...they most continue to procreate.
When religion and politics are the dominant force of procreation it ceases to be the basic requirement of evolution.

A pleasure to read.

But... one has to wonder then what the Lord meant when he asked us to "Go forth and multiply"...sometimes I think, when man has it all figured out, that is when God decides to throw something else out at us just to prove that we will NEVER figure it out! :)
I take the Bible as truth and even if it seems like I'm getting the short end of the stick, or that it simply isn't "My way" of doing things, I will continue to read the insructions to HIS ways!
I have instinct, mind you, that has been slowly mastered through life's trials and tribulations, and in realizing this I tend to not fully rely on mine.
Intuition, yes, I feel that as we walk in God's footsteps we are guided...and I trust he has another plan, not known... where He will guide us through whatever we have managed to concoct in this wild and crazy world!
Thanks for sharing this Tom~ Excellent!

Thought provoking. I may question a few statements. 1. Procreation has become a problem because just like animals if it itches we scratch. In other words sex has become a sport rather than an act of love. 2. We are not God. That gives us too much credit. We are a small cell in the body of God. We are so small God surely would need a telescope to see us. All of us together with nature are a part of the power of creation.
The American indians lived giving back what they took from nature. The damage came with the travel of the Mayflower and has been eating away at the country and the whole world since the industrial age.
All and all, though... this is an article worth reading.

WE ARE NOT OVER POPULATED... We ARE OVER ABUSED and SUPER-ABUSING.
Very stimulating article. A true mind's striker.

If I have accurately stated your thesis, I would agree with it. It would be preferable to the normal and natural evolutionary outcome expected of any overpopulating species. However, I have to offer a pessimistic view of the chances of humanity achieving a ringing success in this endeavor. My reasons have to do with the lack of commonality of proplem recognition and resolution among the populace. Simply put, while humans have expanded their brainpower over other animals to the equivalence of a molecular phase change, these expanded capabilities are only exercised by a relatively few individuals. The others are "carried" along on the train of technology and scientific thought as unthinking passengers, often caught up in one delusion or another. The vast majority of individuals are numb to the forward thinking that occurs in the few. They take a local view as opposed to a global view, which, while tending to support the forward thinkers economically through mass consumption, has the inevitable result of fouling the commons. Education would help but enlightened teachers are too few and the task too daunting. The best teacher is experience. Unfortunately, experience is likely to be concommitant with "a too little, too late" experience as well.
Consequently, the odds are that the human race will fare no better than any other species faced with the internal tendency to overpopulate. We likely will succumb to the tyranny of mathematics that says that division of finite resources by too large a common denominator must lead to starvation of water, food, energy source. Or we will succumb to whatever detrimental force of opportunity that finds overpopulation a weakness on our part. Our population will inevitably collapse, perhaps to rise again or perhaps not, depending on the severity of the implosion. The only thing I would add is that I am truly sorry I cannot foresee a more optimistic view of our intermediate-term future.
