Quote:Where did the FI begin? Pandora's Box?
Don Jaun said that human beings are in a sad state everywhere.
Can that be denied on this very day?
Acording to Don Juan Matus:
"We are back again," he went on, "harping on the most important topic of the sorcerers' world; the position of the assemblage point. The old sorcerers' curse, as well as mankind's thorn in the side."
"Why do you say that, Don Juan?"
"Because both the old sorcerers fell prey and mankind in general falls prey to the position of the assemblage point: the old sorcerers because, although they knew all about the assemblage point, they fell for its facility to be manipulated; mankind in general, because by not knowing that the assemblage point exists, we are obliged to take the by-product of its habitual position as something final and indisputable.
"You must avoid falling into those traps," he continued. "It'd be really disgusting if you sided with mankind as if you didn't know about the existence of the assemblage point. But it'd be even more insidious if you sided with the old sorcerers and cynically manipulate the assemblage point for gain."
One is not born with a flyer eating you. The flyer starts eating you after you get your AP fixated in a morbid position and he get a gap to make you his meal.
Quote:I once read a magazine article in a Krishna magazine that I remember to this day.
The argument was that India society was fairly harmonious, little starvation, until--
The British arrived, began Industrialization, drove the People into the cities, and sure enough created chaos out of THEIR self-importance.
I hear this theory to, but it wasn't the first time for India. Greeks, muslims, and many more took a bite of them. In recent history some people are marveled that China didn't overrun them.
The universe is predatory in nature. Playing the blaming game on a national scale is not going to solve anything.
India isn't, nor wasn't ever in history, a perfect enlightened society. India (and Tibet) is, incidentally, a land where the most of the greatest souls of the world made (and make) their mark.
And I'am not talking in this case of anyone known of any tradition.
Other than that India's population is as materialistic as any.
But we should not worry of the karmic issues of everyone. Our own are more than enough.Excuse my english, it's not my mother tongue.
