Guest guest Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 Hi, Book "No Way Out" by U.G.Chapter "Seeking Strengthens Separation"http://www.well.com/user/jct/index.htmlTHE COBRAWhen the body encounters a cobra, it steps back, and then you take a walk. The cobra is a marvelous creature. If you hurt it, you are hurting yourself. I mean it physically hurts you [back], not psychologically or romantically - because "it is all one movement of life". What I am saying is that "you will never hurt that". The cooperation there springs from the total selfishness of mutual survival. It's like the cell in your body which also can survive only when it cooperates with the cell next to it. Otherwise it has no chance of survival. That's the only way we can live together. But that has to percolate to the level of, if you want to use that word, your `consciousness'. Only then you will live in this world peacefully.It is that total interdependence for survival on the physical level that can bring about unity. Only on that level.THE NEUROTICThe intellect is created by culture and is acquired. The intelligence that is necessary for survival is already there in the physical organism. You don't have to learn a thing. You need to be taught, you need to learn things, only to survive in this world which we have created, the world of ideas. You need to know, in order to survive. You have to fight for your share in the cake. Some joker comes along and says that you should fight without expecting any results. What the hell are you talking about? How can you act without expecting any results? As long as you live in this world (this society) you have to fight for your share. That is why they teach you, send you to a school, and give you some tools. That is what society has done to you. But religion comes along and tells you that you should fight for your share, without expecting anything in return. That is why you are turned into a neurotic individual. Otherwise, you will fight only for your share. You don't grab the whole thing. You grab the whole thing because you have been taught by religion, culture, or something else, to do so. Animals kill only for their survival and leave the rest of their game. You can call it garbage or whatever you want. Every other thing survives on that. If I take only whatever I need for myself, the rest is there for everybody. There won't be any shortage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
