Re: The Sadistic Nature Of Earth-life by wirinet(m): 5:47pm On Jun 21, 2022 |
Image123:Good. I really hope you try harder. The future of this country lies with the youth. The youth between 18 to 50 years constitutes half of the whole population, while the over 50s constitutes less than 7%. The over 60s constitutes less than 2%. But what do we have, the youths are wasting their time and energy on religion and Yahoo yahoo, while the over 60s hold the country to ransome. At best the youth becomes political thugs, agberos and cultists. You guys can make here and now the heaven you desire instead of waiting to die to enjoy life. Japan has done it, UAE has done it, Norway has done it. You too can do. All it requires is hard word, courage and sacrifice. |

HellVictorinho4: i don't feel special, i am special. Abi is your name written in the book of Life? Do you know my Jesus? Does God love you like He loves me? Have you experienced the joy and peace that i experience every day? Do you have any hope of eternity? These and more make you special, not the silly things you think of. |

Jomonix: How do you know this please? I suppose you believe in Karma? |
Re: The Sadistic Nature Of Earth-life by Jomonix: 8:44am On Jul 01, 2022 |
DeepSight: Yes, I believe in Karma. My suggestion to anyone in a quest to know more about the material world and beyond is to have an open mind. Keep it simple and stay childlike and honest; not holding tenaciously to what you know already. You will develop the 3rd eye and to your surprise things will be opened to you at the time you least expected. It will be like recognizing a glow of light that was always there but was not seen because the individual has his eyes closed all the time. No one can do it for you. For me I look at nature and see the Love, Mercy and Justice of GOD. I also feel a sense of gratitude because everything was provided in endless quantities, in abundance. GOD is great. |
Re: The Sadistic Nature Of Earth-life by DeepSight(m): 9:40am On Jul 01, 2022 |
Jomonix: I can only assure you that I have held this view before and cherished it deeply. I have walked this path of a "seeker" for a long time - at least 30 years - I am not a young man. However, I feel certain today that there is something within us which has a survivalist need to attempt to "believe" in and have a greater hope out there than what we are faced with. I trust you know that hope is critical to survival, to any meaningful existence, and indeed to soundness of mind. In this way, if you are truly open minded you will also avert your mind to the psychological impact of hope in the way mankind constructs ideas of a benevolent, loving and merciful God in the face of a harsh reality which volubly speaks the contrary. We are compelled to do this because we cannot bear the spectre of a meaningless life, of randomness, of injustice and brutality as parts of nature, and we also cannot bear the spectre of death - something we know nothing of whatsoever. It is therefore in our psychological interest to construct such pleasant and comfortable notions of reality even when the bare face of it tells most evidently of something manifestly more sinister. All of this does not mean I do not have my private spiritual ideas of the universe and reality: its just that if you are truly open minded as you say, then you would not take and insist on a one dimensional story of beauty and justice and love and mercy even when there is more than sufficient evidence for the contrary. |

DeepSight: I think you are speaking about your personal experiences chiefly. My own experience is very different. The paths we work to higher knowledge is not necessarily the same for everyone. Don't worry about the length of time you spend or your age. I wish you all the best. |
Re: The Sadistic Nature Of Earth-life by DeepSight(m): 12:02am On Jul 02, 2022 |
Jomonix: The nature of Earth life is not my personal experience sir. It is the general observable nature of Earth life as a whole. What animals do to one another to survive in the wild, is for example, not my personal experience, is it? Do they go about cuddling one another or is it a fact that it is a brutal and competitive battle for survival. Is that my personal experience or is it a fact? Is it also not a fact that there are parallels for this in human society. The paths we work to higher knowledge is not necessarily the same for everyone. Don't worry about the length of time you spend or your age. I wish you all the best. Whilst appreciated, sometimes these types of high sounding responses which reach for a noble tone can be very tiresome because they say exactly nothing. 1 Like |
Re: The Sadistic Nature Of Earth-life by Jomonix: 7:52am On Jul 02, 2022 |
DeepSight: There is a big picture behind what you think to be brutal and competitive battle for survival. If you have developed the 3rd eye you will make a sense of it. There is no magic in nature. Don't forget nature developed over several billion years. It took quite some time but it had to be because everything is deliberate and planned. Nature did not materialize from the blues. |
Re: The Sadistic Nature Of Earth-life by DeepSight(m): 2:12pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
Jomonix: I really squirm at your need to refer to the third eye in order to justify the competitive nature of survival in nature. You do not need to go that far to see that it has its plusses. Elementary things such as the activity of predators keeping prey populations active, fit and trim are just one example. None of this takes anything away from the sheer brutality involved. It also does not suggest it could not be any other conceivable way. What appears obvious to me is that the architects of this reality have a vested interest in sadistic activity and that there is probably a sense in which they engage in some perverse cosmic masturbation over the manifestation of evil and sadism. 2 Likes |

Re: The Sadistic Nature Of Earth-life by Anormalguy(m): 4:49am On Jul 09, 2022 |
Hello Deepsight. People have mentioned what I understand to be that there is a big picture in this which accomplishes something good such as the animals remaining active and the population of the animal being kept fresh. Perhaps the apparent brutality to achieve this is mostly in our eyes. Aside from that they feel pain and similar emotions, we do not know how the animals really find this. Are they disgusted by it like we humans, repelled by it even or are they pleased in having to act on their instincts of fear in running from predator or pleased with the pain they go through in being killed by a predator when it comes to that? Likewise for the predator too. Inconceivable for a human to take pleasure in that, I know. But a human is not an animal, and is the animal not really very inconceivable to man? What I am saying is that perhaps the sense of brutality is personal to the species and not the same for all. What we humans call brutal in the animal kingdom may be normal for them. And what we humans call civilized, the angels in Heaven may look at as brutal. As for why we see the animal brutal behavior in humans as well. For killing animals for food, I agree with the explanation Justcool gave. In other areas like war for competition of resources, my answer is that every or at least most human beings know that these things are wrong, are innately repelled by them and are capable of doing what is right, if the person still decides to do evil then that is their choice and not what they are forced to do by nature. I believe that this world can be much better if we human beings pulled ourselves together and stated striving to do what is right. The idea that we are forced by nature to do evil is an excuse in my opinion because the reality is that the nature is for us to decide. Many people have been tempted to do evil before and successfully resisted, why did nature not force them to do evil there or does nature just force us to do whatever, how senseless and aimless is that and inconsistent with the sense and purpose we see everywhere in nature? Thanks. 1 Like |

Anormalguy: We are also animals and can apply the same big picture principle to one another. Perhaps killing one another in wars also helps to keep the population alert, active and fresh. What I am saying is that perhaps the sense of brutality is personal to the species and not the same for all. What we humans call brutal in the animal kingdom may be normal for them. And what we humans call civilized, the angels in Heaven may look at as brutal. Maybe you should understand that I am not necessarily condemning that natural order. I am just saying that we do not need to assume that it is kind or loving or merciful. We need to see it for what it is and accept it as it is. As for why we see the animal brutal behavior in humans as well. For killing animals for food, I agree with the explanation Justcool gave. In other areas like war for competition of resources, my answer is that every or at least most human beings know that these things are wrong, are innately repelled by them and are capable of doing what is right, if the person still decides to do evil then that is their choice and not what they are forced to do by nature. Nature itself is set up for competition and strife. And in that very fact rests the foundation of evolution which causes improved forms of creatures to thrive: the survival of the fittest. I believe that this world can be much better if we human beings pulled ourselves together and stated striving to do what is right. The idea that we are forced by nature to do evil is an excuse in my opinion because the reality is that the nature is for us to decide. Many people have been tempted to do evil before and successfully resisted, why did nature not force them to do evil there or does nature just force us to do whatever, how senseless and aimless is that and inconsistent with the sense and purpose we see everywhere in nature? I hope you do not have to be at the scene of a famine or drought or Plague or Earthquake or Volcanic Eruption or Flood or other natural disaster to understand that nature often pushes people to take extreme measures to survive and such can involve killing other people or forcefully taking their resources. 1 Like 1 Share |
