You remember that old line about the Way between emptiness and compassion?” (from Engineman by Eric Brown)
Mind Programming and Compassion
[thoughts by ~Sha’Tara~ ]
I have it from impeccable “authority” (an authority valid only to myself – I don’t expect anyone else to buy it) that the race of beings called “man” and which my authority calls “Earthians” is in deep trouble. Of course there is hardly a thinking Earthian on this world who doesn’t sense this, but how many are working at developing an intent to use in combating this rising trouble? How many know but choose not to care; choose to let the whole thing continue to lie in the hands of those who are creating and managing this deep trouble? And of those few who do care, and attempt to do something about it, how successful are they?
Those who sacrifice time, money, even life, in various attempts to stem the flow of this coming disaster will continue to remain utterly ineffective despite Herculean efforts from some parties, and this is what I’d like to touch on once again. It’s important that as many as possible get the message as to why they are always and ever stymied in their efforts to guide man’s direction in a way to avoid disaster.
The people of Earth have been fighting endless and losing (if not futile) actions against an enemy they simply have never understood. The reason for that is incredibly simple: the enemy is within every individual; in their programming. Even if you knew that your social programming is preventing you from becoming fully human; from developing and using certain human traits that Earthians know about but can seldom access, how do you go against the genetically modified engineering of your thought patterns? How do you beat that? More, how do you close access to your mind’s thoughts when your mind is being controlled and directed on a 24/7 basis without your awareness, even if you know about it and accept that it is so?
The programming I’m talking about is deeply embedded. It was first developed on Earth some 350 to 400,000 years ago. That’s how old “mankind” known as Homo Sapiens is, give or take 50 or so thousand years. Man is a genetically modified organism designed to remain under the control of its designers – whatever name you wish to give them. To say “God” is of course highly inflammatory in a religious environment, but the Bible basically states that “man” was a created being made to serve his God in a place called Eden. Every work of fiction is based on truth, so there is much more to that story and some of it is now coming out, despite the servants of the System, the Matrix, the Powers, casting voluble and voluminous aspersions upon those working at discovering man’s actual roots.
Well, that’s a history that future generations of survivors (there will be some) will have to deal with. For the time being it suffices to see what is going on and to admit that as a species man remains a total slave to his masters. If he is not dying of famine and disease somewhere, he’s slaving for sub-standard wages and horrible work conditions or he’s becoming a bloated consumer who’s life has less meaning and value than that of an earthworm. The ultimate consumer is a blight upon this world; the reason so much evil is perpetrated by the corporate world in tearing out what resources remain upon the surface of this world – resources that include millions of people’s lives.
For the time being, until the planet comes under the jackboots of the New World Order fascist terror squads, capitalism is allowed to continue, stripping the planet of natural resources to force-feed bloated consumers. That exchange system won’t make sense for much longer due to man’s increasing numbers, so prepare for “the Dictator” – the charismatic “Voice” that will penetrate into your programming and make you dance to its death tune.
Man is a puppet – has always been nothing more than a puppet. Man loves conflict and violence because that is programmed in him. Man has no empathy – obviously! If man was empathic he would feel the pain and hurt he inflicts upon others of his own species and of the natural world. Empathy as a true “sense” was carefully excised from the original programming. It was necessary to man’s inventors that he be a ruthless, heartless, unaware creature that would perform whatever task given, no question even possible.
But there is good news. It is possible for an individual who desires it to effectively close down his original programming and replace it with one of his own choosing. Compassion is the “tool” that is used to defeat the creators’ program in one’s mind. Compassion arises through the difficult path of self-denial, selflessness, self-sacrifice. Compassion makes one aware of two powerful forces at work in a world carrying so much dysfunction; so much pain and hurt as this one: sorrow and joy. The compassionate individual can enter into the deepest sorrow and experience the greatest joy without the side effects that accompany those who seek happiness, pleasure and in diminishing value, fun. One of the common side effects of the quest for personal happiness is depression when it doesn’t materialize, or when it vanishes like smoke in the night.
Of course the path of compassion demands more than already stated – it demands total detachment and self-empowerment. The compassionate person stands alone – that state being the key to awareness and enlightenment – the last two being the endless aspects to carry the freed mind into infinity.
We all die. Therefore, within 100 years or so, we are all doomed… Individually. As a whole though, while there are and have been many prophets of doom, mankind has adapted to every threat (except near extinction events which occur on the order of millions of years) and somehow managed to increase in numbers while trying to exterminate ourselves through countless wars and disasters. I believe this trend will continue, and, by the end of this century, mankind will change on the order of our change in the last 2000 years.
We have had a period of enlightenment and consumptive growth based on 200 years of fossil fuels that are about to run out or change the climate… Whichever comes first. We will rapidly change when we have to. People will suffer…, But then, we have always suffered. Only now, it comes to us a nanosecond, worldwide, where in the past, disastrous information only happened locally. This acceleration of information has made us paranoid and blind to what life was really like in the past. Most of us lead normal, peaceful lives.
We have a bright future ahead of us, barring an extinction event. And, we may be preparing for that.
