The Natural Life

Well, here's my take on it....and I realize that I'm answering this in general to the forum, not necessarily you per se, since in two previous threads you started you never returned to post, despite getting three pages of responses in one of them.  !  (the "Question About Cats" thread)  But nevertheless, here's my response:

...and perhaps the animals are looking at you and wondering the same thing.    What's the purpose of any of us when you think about it, whether a lady bug, dolphin, cardinal, human, squirrel, turtle, zebra, etc?

For the answer to that, simply look back at history.  Trace back when things changed, and what propelled those changes.  It's too much for my post, but the answers lie in history.   You just have to look back and study it.  A big clue lies in the 1800s.  With the advent of the railroad, steam ships replacing sailing vessels, and the Industrial age...when humans figured out how to get machines to make things so we wouldn't have to anymore.  What chain of events spawned from these things?

What happened once electricity was developed?  What happened once the car was invented?  What happened once Man learned how to fly?

That's just the tip of the tip of the iceberg.  There's so much more.  But it all boils down to technology.   Get rid of technology, and the rest comes crumbling down, and it's back to the basics.  It's as simple as that.  Technology has its benefits, but it came with a hefty pricetag, for humans and the entire planet. 

And that leads to the fact that the technology that developed in the timeline we're all occupying was the "wrong" technology.   Instead of free energy we have a petroleum based lifestyle.  Gas, oil, coal and tar, fueling our vehicles, airplanes, and being the chemical base in many products we all use....and destroying the environment and ourselves in the process.

And that is in itself a whole topic.  Why was the wrong technology promoted instead of the free and clean technology?

Well, that seems to have been purposeful manipulation.    When you read historical stories about the various big wigs in the days of yore who had a say in making decisions and shaping the direction that society was going, they always seemed to have the same traits in common:   

- Pushing the worst and most unhealthful things imaginable, whether it be with food/diet, a particular product/industrial invention, or a way of doing things;
- Going out of their way to squelch or flat out destroy the good guys around them who have a product that would be a better, cleaner, more healthful way of doing things;
- Being stubborn and bullheaded in their single minded persuit of pushing the unhealthy product/way of doing things, to the point of lacking reason and rationale, and showing no conern, emotion or remourse for the dire consequences that will result;
- and always within a position of power to be able to do this. 

So what does that tell us?   There's a battle between the manipulated bad guys - most likely OP-soulless types with occult ties that drive them up the ladder of power in life, strategically placing them at the top and giving them that posiiton of authority - and the good guys who aren't possessed and lack the occult connections that give them positions of influence.

Things really picked up speed in the 1800s, and once the 20th century hit it exploded.  But it was like humans became a prisoner of their own technological developments and the lifestyle it spawned.

I think what you're proposing is the typical false two choice dichotemy.  Either be a materialistic consumer with the stressful aggro modern lifestyle, or forfeit it all and become a homeless bum.  There may be a third choice compromise in there that might be even more effective.

But definitely, a majority of the population going homeless and refusing to play the game anymore might throw a wrench in their works.  The only problem though is trying to convince the population not to play the game anymore.     Too many people are wrapped up in it, fully invested in it.  This game of life is serious business, doncha know?!?!       "I have my big house, my nice wardrobe, my three cars in the garage, my 60" flat screen television and top of the line entertainment system!   My kids have to go to good colleges!"  Mortgage, tuition, car lease payments, credit card bills.....too many people are in too deep, believe they *can't* walk away. A hampster in a wheel. 

Movies that feature people throwing it all away are quite popular for that reason.  Deep down a lot of people wish they could do this, but are too afraid.   So they live vicariously through the movies showing them fictional characters who do this.

I think you very much Lyra for your response and for the previous ones as well about the cats. I haven't posted a reply because to tell you the truth I have been experiencing a lot of strange experiences, synchros and other weird things since I started learning a lot of the knowlege on this site and therefore gave it a break. I very much admire your insight Lyra and have read many of your posts as I have many questions and feel that I'm at a point in my life where I am not seeing things as I once have and it is a rude awakening, I now feel as if everything I once thought was neccesary was nothing more than a lie. I am totally fed up, stressed out and want more than anything to let go and be free. I have been taught as I'm sure a score of others have been taught to go to school, get a good job, buy a nice house, get married, have kids and teach them to do the same. Although there are those that ARE happy with this I see nothing more than a tragic trap for many others such as like you said a hamster wheel, the car note, credit card bills, morgage, ect and these bills keeps getting higher and higher and driving you to need more money thereore driving you to make more effort unfortunately some of us are not even happy with our jobs. I really don't want to complain too much as I could go on and on but I've had enough. I don't feel that this modern society and it's stresses (As it is now) are natural for humans and even though we may be living in luxury or abundance the medical field is booming and hospitals are filled with sick people. We're beginng to kill ourselves and each other to meet the demands and conformity of this greedy system and I wonder how long will it be before we decide that we've ALL had enough.

I'm not familiar with the quote feature yet but I don't like the modern stress lifestyle nor do I want to be a bum on the street. I just wonder how is it possible and where is that middle road that meets in between?
