A realistic recognition of the human condition is that it is corrupt beyond belief. What do you suppose would happen if the police all took a week off?
The vast majority of beings who incarnate on this planet are at the stage of their evolution where power is the dominant theme. They are learning about power. That is why we live in a world where there are so many wars and so much destruction.
The strong conquer the weak. The weak serve the strong and hope to become strong so they can conquer others who are weaker.
Its funny how human beings tend to think that they're the masters of the earth never realizing that the earth, for a time, simply tolerates its tenants and then, when the mood strikes, it shifts its continents around.
The level of evolution in this world is not exactly high.
They've destroyed their environment, by and large. They've eliminated most other species on the planet, which is just an indication of their sloppiness and their deadness and their oblivion - but even more so, they've cut themselves off from happiness.
The population of the planet is increasing at an alarming rate, and yet each day human beings manage to destroy ten species.
One nationality supresses another. One religion claimsto be the exclusive way to truth or god.
This is a place where the strong often victimize the weak.
Everyone has sunk on this plane to such a low state of consciousness, it is the natural state. We have deviated so far from the norm in this age of darkness.
This is a world that defines everything backwards, a world in which good is called bad, brightness is called darkness, up is called down, enlightenment is called abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior is applauded as reason.
Human beings are not so in harmony with the dharma. That is why they suffer so much. But you as an individual can reach a plane of attention and can become attention itself.
They don't understand the multi-life sequences. Anything they can't see in a laboratory, they think is nonsense.
Religion is either something we scorn because we are too rational or it's the realm of the fanatic who insists that their God and their religion is the only way and everyone else is dammed.
Human beings go to church. The guy in the front dressed in black is the guy you defer to. He is in charge of the mysteries of universe, which ordinary human beings don't seem to have the inclination to understand.
We live in a world filled with automobiles, highways of the mind, urban disasters, billions of people living on a tiny planet, sharing the diminishing natural resources of the earth.
The reason why there's such a rigid repression of the mentally ill is the psyche of humanity senses something. It senses that it doesn't want to deal with the unknown.
There's this cave and all humanity is in it and there's this terribly bright light at the other end and everybody's afraid of it.
Fear which has been embedded in your mind since you were a tot doesn't go away easily - it's conditioned in. And because we have fear, we fail to fulfill and realize our potential as human beings.
This world we exist in is populated by people who have really shut themselves off from life.
The way of humanity is to turn everything into a marketable product. But when we turn something into a marketable product it loses something.
How great seems human progress when we consider where it began, and how insignificant, when we contemplate the goals for which itstrives.
Robin Hood had it right.Humanity's deepest wish is to spread the wealth.
Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple are among the most powerful monopolies in the history of humanity. So, the problem is, is that they have tremendous ability to shape the way that we think, the way that we filter the world, the way that we absorb culture. And if they were just companies, maybe we shouldn't be so concerned about them, but they play an incredibly vital role in the health of our democracy.
Peace can endure only so long as humanity really insists upon it, and is willing to work for it and sacrifice for it.
