I'd go along with that [old Chinese] proverb.The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.
I had "new" in the title put in quotes,
as what I'm going to talk about, is not really new at all.
It's about old, seasoned ways of manipulation,
that have been applied to mankind (on earth) probably
for thousands of years.
Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.Michael Ellner
As long as "new age" is about making money and manipulation,
it is the same old paradigm, the same old ways, we "always" had.
Maybe there will be some new and controversial things for you after all. ;-)
Are you prepared yet?
I think, "unconditional love" and the perverted concepts of "forgiveness"
are basically tools of manipulation and deception as well!
They are used as a weapon against you, so you wont stand in the way of the manipulators...
They want you to embrace those concepts, but would not really do any of that themselves!
I'll take it, that this might suffice for the subject of "unconditional love",
once you start to think a little about it and compare ...
But this "forgiveness" nonsense might need some extra bashing
to give way to reason and love that may be helpful and actually applicable.
Why talk about "forgiveness" at all, and not about corrections and reason?
I take it, it is because, there is no intention to have any (significant) corrections or reason!
In former times, there was apparently some reason to the concept of forgiveness
as it was more an option, that could be applied, after all required corrections were done.
Also there is this bullshit idea that someone could forgive you for damage,
you did to another third person ...
This is of course a very useful concept to get your serves to kill and subjugate
your perceived enemies for no good reason (other than your lust for "power" ...).
"Go ahead and bring our enemies to their knees..., you'll be forgiven any sins [by us]..."
Isn't that a significant tool, that was applied, to bring about the holocaust to
native people all around the word? - Someone (but not the damaged ones!)
would "forgive" the perpetrators.
And of course it is even nicer and would show your true mastery,
if you could get your victims to "forgive" you,
even while perpetrating your crimes against them.
You'd even kind of have no guilt any more, as they gave their consent
and so are in with you in doing, what you are doing.
Do you see, what I mean now?
Just "forgiving" an [ongoing] crime means becoming an accomplice to it!
I'll pull another example out of the air, to try an show you my point.
Consider a ship and the person at the helm steering it towards the cliffs, reefs, ...
(whatever would mean doom, death and destruction to the ship and the lifes on it).
Let's also consider, there are many lifes to be saved on that ship,
not just a few penguins and sea dogs, that would take no harm going overboard...
- iceberg, would be something, that should be added above, right? ;-)
- How come, I'm now thinking about the titanic (1912) ...?
Would you think, you should "forgive" the one leading the ship to it's doom?
You would do that, or wouldn't even need to, if you yourself also wanted that ship wrecked,
that's obvious to me - in such a case you look like an accomplice to me.
But if you wanted that ship to be saved, you'd rather do something about it!
You'd do something to stop the active perpetrator.
I'd accept it, that you may perhaps get him on your side and stop his intention for doom,
by "forgiving" him...
But you'd better be sure of that and what's more important, be fast with it!
Otherwise, it seems better to me, to stop him any way you can,
depending on the situation, not excluding talking ...,
but if it would be the only working way, it may even be best to kill him.
After you killed him and saved the ship, you can ask his soul, to forgive you. ;-)
I'm not assuming, that the killing would be necessary, especially
in the given example, but as I said - depending on the situation...!
I tell you, we don't need "forgiveness", that's only mindfuck bullshit!
We need corrections and reason!
When everyone has, what he/she/it needs and wants...
there is no reason to attack anyone anymore
for any kind of past failings ...,
but if you had some, that still posed a real and actual danger,
you would [still] have some need for reasonable corrections.
Let truth and love be the most prevalent things!
I recommend you to have a look at Ron Van Dyke's videos.
ReplyDeleteHe talks about similar subjects and I find him very inspiring and mostly uplifting ...

It sounds like you are saying that to forgive is the same as accept and do nothing?
ReplyDeleteForgiveness to me is about understanding that we all make misstakes, have our weak moments and do "bad" things now and then. The forgiveness is about not judging or condemning that person for their weaknesses.
Forgiveness is not apathy. Responsibility is always needed.
I believe, I basically agree.
DeleteBut I call it: corrections and reason:
hostile and destructive acts from all sites must end...
OK, destruction probably has its place,
like, when you deconstruct a building to make space for a new one...
however, reason should rather be part of it.
