Johnny Be Good Galt.....!!! >>When options become limited, then man becomes deprived and will act accordingly. The imposition of static rules, of ritualistic practice, of burdensome taxation, and of ideas that punish him for his very existence, by religions, governments, and other collective bodies, render the individual absent of any viable future. The future, in this sense, has been hijacked by the few in the name of the collective. The absence of light, according to the poet Dante, is darkness…and the absence of hope is frozen hell. And likewise, to limit man’s options, to deprive him of his liberty… of his future is to bring hell on earth. The practice of depraving the individual is devil worhip.>> Thanks for sharing!! 119293!!

Nice post. Good observations! Here are a couple of related pieces from Adi Da! THE FUTURE <<<From the Spiritual point of view, the future is a creative activity, not a predetermined one. Very often there are mysterious indications that arise, perceptions of a tendency that is operating or of a possibility of some kind. But Spiritual sadhana is not a matter of your being determined by tendencies or premonitions. Spiritual sadhana in the world is always creative involvement with conditions. True action involves the transformation of time and space into the Conscious, Spiritual Event. Therefore, there may be indications of tendencies, of possibilities, of things that may occur, but all of this arises in relation to the Living Heart. Creative, Free, and Conscious activity, generated in Satsang with Me, the Most Perfect Realizer of the Heart, constantly breaks down the entire machine of destiny. There is no necessary event. It is all a creative activity. The more what is traditionally called "tamasic", or inert, the body-mind is, the more likely you are to experience and suffer the events toward which you are tending. But the more movement toward purification there is in you, and the more harmony there is alive in you, and the more understanding there is in you, the less your future is likely to be determined by karmas, within and without.>>> FROM: The Divine Siddha-Method Of The Ruchira Avatar AND: <<<Human beings must awaken from their solid pose of intellectual superiority and their irrational belief that knowledge about the process of natural phenomena makes a superior humanity. A superior humanity will not be derived from authoritarian scientific decrees, imposed through powerful technologies. People cannot live Happily, nor survive long, without the intuitive certainty of Divine Love, or Spiritual Communion with Divine Power, Love-Bliss, and Purpose. Without greater religious consciousness (free of the dogmatic nonsense of conventional religious beliefs), the future made by scientific acculturation is an abominable fiction, a mechanical contrivance in which human beings are, paradoxically, both satisfied in their desires and desperate in their hearts.>>> FROM: Scientific Proof of the Existence of God will soon be announced by the White House. These two quotes don't seem so far from your post, to me. What about to you? Namaste! Jim * * * * *
