Now that, is some good writing!
Ha! Thank you.
Now let's see what you think of my response to your post.
What do you really think happens after death?

Ha! Thank you.
Now let's see what you think of my response to your post.
You are missing my point as you still are working within the polarity paradigm I talked about in which service to self and service to others are in contradiction to each other. Yes, within the current worldly paradigm there are something you could legitimately call selfishness but I am stretching beyond the dysfunction of that paradigm itself in which that polarity don't exist.
Greed in the sense of taking from others or from what we in this world call "limited resources" and self-less service in regards to compromising one self for others are both unhealthy ways of addressing one self and other human beings.

They often are in contradiction with one another, though. That's not a false paradigm, but the real condition of humanity.
Thats why I said it is the current state of the world paradigm, and you should know that you cant create solutions that originates from a dysfunctional paradigm, instead you need to create a new paradigm all together.

The Astrological name for the new paradigm is, "the Aquarian Age". One local astrologer, Rob Brezsny, calls it "The mother of all paradigm shifts". I agree. The imaginary world we live in Now will be superseded by a much better one.

Funny you chose to post about this today. I have gone vegetarian a few times in my life, but it hasn't stuck. A few days ago I didn't finish a meal that included some meat. This has happened countless times, but this was the first time it struck me as cruel that a living being died for my dinner, probably inhumanely, and I didn't even honor that sacrifice enough to eat it.

Do you think that a world can exist where the individual and the group always need the same things? I think the fact that each individual is different means that individuals will always need to compromise (show a certain amount of selflessness) to get along in and benefit the group.
But I'm beginning to wonder if we really disagree or if we're just caught in semantic confusion.
Still, the way to integrate that new paradigm is to go through all of the old issues and heal them which is why both my and Witchyone´s posts contains equal value in that process.

If only we could plan such that old wounds could be healed during a shift into this new (age/paradigm)
Of course concern must lie with overdoing the stitching, so to speak, of old wounds, I'm thinking of trimming too far instead of taking steps back to re-evaluate work.
Emotional tensions can be clouding
I think if there is an afterlife we'd all sleep better in it if we were either to remain calm while planning, or trust in the aptitude of people who still show resolve towards planning the attainment of a better global society, rather than simply coming up with retorts.

I wonder if that Sadhguru is speaking of animals he's eaten, or if hes just getting off his chest the notion that he's given way to over extravagant lechery(Haha, wrong choice of word , perhaps. Had to keep it in for amusements sake) *Leeching.
It's amazing what you can plan for

Not sure how that's a response, could you elaborate?
Its about both healing and planning, but the consciousness of creating new models cant emerge until the old models have been acknowledged and healed since they tarnishes the clear sight.
I encourage people to start questioning why they are reacting and/or feel they way the do about certain things, since often that which they are reacting towards is something they deny within themselves.

People can either choose to be a part of the change that is now happening or resist it. Everyone is free to choose.

We have now entered that philosophical territory where everyone speaks in abstractions and koans. That's cool. I started it off in a place of existential crisis, but now I have cycled back around to my normal mood. And you know what that means for a Gemini...
