Why are we addicted to drama and violence?

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

First of all let me say I am compassionate to the survivors.

 

Our blockbuster movies are usually mindless violence.

 

Now we have the tragedy of people suffering from the effects of the

Tsunami. People and tv keep going on about the body count etc etc etc.

 

However the quiet deaths aren't noticed. The literally tens thousands

of children that starve to death every week, where is the attention of

the media? It it not dramatic so doesn't feed the media, and people's

minds.

 

(As a side note, I notice Cayce says that the earth changes will first

be really noticed in the islands north of Australia. If this is true

then this is just a straw in the wind of what may come.)

 

We shall have to be more aware and take precautions. A few buoys

would have given these countries up to 4-10 hours notice of the

tsunami coming. Living in Vancouver we are right up to speed on this

type of thing.

 

Donating a few million, whilst billions are spent on warfare is

another thing as well.

 

Let us pray for all the survivors of all these tragedies.........OM

Namah Sivaya.............Tony.

Sometimes there is is political motivation to sweep the bodies

under the rug too.

 

(100,000 civilians slaughtered in Iraq by October & closer to 110,000

by now)

 

 

Sometimes tragedies like these don't even affect me though.

 

Sometimes it's like there is just energy shifting form

but the energy itself is untouched.

Namaste,

 

I will answer my own question; It is due to the rajasic and tamasic

state of people's minds.

 

The dying children is not exciting or rajasic enough, even though

consistently more numerous, so the mind ,like the monkey it is looks

around. The tv talks of thousands then that becomes boring so to keep

the interest up they talk of situations and people and then finally

celebrities and how many Westerners were killed or are missing etc.

 

There is the feeling of 'for whom does the bell toll' also for we

imagine if it was us, and eventually we also must die.

 

There is no acceptance of it, even though it is karmic. So there is

the fear generated also. The Ego likes the drama and experience,

vicarious or not. It helps it convince itself of its own reality,

which of course is an illusion.

 

It is all part of the monkey mind craving excitement, rajasic in the

main but tamasic also. No going within here...........ONS..Tony.
