well, we can be of much greater service to our

fellow humans by telling them the truth --

 

otherwise, we become like ALL the religions of the

world -- building Triads (gangster networks) of

the immoral.

 

we are here to set examples of morality, ethics,

hygiene, nonviolence. not mindlessness.

 

 

so, speak the truth ... morality is not a word,

nor something practiced between drinks,

between meat-eating meals,

between daily (hourly?) episodes of

violence and dis-respect.

 

 

until we DEMONSTRATE morality, until

we PRACTICE morality ....

 

until that NOW -- we cannot spell out

the words of what morality, ethics, hygiene,

life in HARMONY with nature, is.

 

what IS morality? what IS 24-hr mindedness?

 

it comes, with love, AFTER transition to the

lifestyle of nonviolence -- NO meat-eating,

NO animal products.

 

only a life in the countryside, away from the

city.

 

only a life WITHOUT violence, never touching

or taking PHYSICAL advantage of another.

 

NEVER committing disrespect againt other

genders, against other cultures.

 

the 42 laws of Maat are ONLY a beginning,

a pre-requisite, a necessity for morality, for

the journey of enlightenment.

aye, truly, the jhanas (meditations, internal

postures) are a part of the whole -- as are the

yogas -- as is the rawfood diet (for higher

enlightements).

 

viz. Siddhartha Gautama -- perhaps a 'pos7tive' example

for a provincial kingdom 2500 years ago -- now an

example of the worst, lowest, morality to be found!

 

a meat eater. a man with total disrespect for women.

someone who advocated ignorance of nature, the

stars and cosmos. a royal prince without inner sight,

with anger against the sacred arts, the healing arts,

the seers and sages of all traditions.

 

a fraudulent 'buddha' who spoke constantly against

immortality -- in favor or mortality, and the endless karmic

rounds of mindlessness.

so let us be mindful, now, today ...

as this is the ONLY time mindfulness occurs.

 

 

that is, let us speak truly, and not repeat

(regurgitate) our provincial dogmas.

 

let us speak only in respect, awakeness.

 

 

globally!

 

 

 

the ONLY "Clear Comprehension" ...
