I recently read an interesting article, (actually the title
of a book.) entitled:
“How Do You Kill 11 Million
People? Why The Truth Matters More Than
You Think.”
The author is Andy Andrews.
One of the things written in that article follows;
A quote from "Mein Kampf" in which Hitler wrote;
"The great masses of the
people more easily fall victim to a big lie than a small one."
In that book Hitler laid out his plans. People apparently
ignored what he said in it.
At least they seem to have ignored the parts indicating he
would rid the planet of people he considered inadequate.
The heart of such cruelty, violence, and hostility, lies in fearful
people.
Government is made up of people, and it is people who allow
"Secrets."
Little secrets seem harmless enough but they are the doorway
to larger and deeper secrets which almost always put someone at a disadvantage.
As secrets grow, the disadvantages increase until it becomes
lawful for ‘officials’ to kill, and do all manner of things to eliminate any
and all perceived threats and/or competition.
Competition is a way of getting the better of another while
the other is made into a stepping stone.
This may be especially hammered in when
the competition is based upon greed, lust, avarice, selfishness, and the like,
which create resentments and divide and destroy people.
The opposites of competition and warfare are cooperation and
affection, which strengthen and sustain people.
In a similar way, it might be said of work that;
Giving from an abundance of one’s
appreciation and enjoyment of expressing helpfulness and integrity is freeing
and strengthening while slaving to serve a harsh master who only seeks a larger
profit with little care or concern for his employees robs on of enjoyment, and
often creates feelings of helplessness, as well as creates an environment where
one feels ignorant and lacking in strength as freedom becomes merely an idea of
some era in the past.
Truth enables people to see, hear, and think reasonably,
clearly.
Lies and deceit confuse and blind people, blocking their
ability to hear, think and act reasonably.
People choose to endure lies
because they have little and/or large guilt’s buried in their past.
It does not matter what the cause of those guilt’s, it may
be simple and superficial or they may be severe! The results are the same. They
enable the demons of abusive contempt to become rulers and empower leaders to spread
corruption, deception, enslavements, fear, violence, and death in as many ways
and forms as can be imagined!
You dear
reader, are the most important part in the whole of this life expression. This
is completely true for each you reading these words. We
always want to think of ourselves as completely unique and independent from
everyone else. This would be true if we did not have a father, or mother,
sister, or brother, neighbor, or tree, sky or earth. . . Yes, everything we
know is an experience we cannot exist without.
That statement is taken to an extreme, but it is the little
things built up over time that make up the whole experience. We make little
choices, little like and dislikes, these increase over time and with time many
are forgotten but remain. What is forgotten retains a small influence over
choices made right now.
Have you come to feel, and realize that each choice made now
produces a lasting effect upon how your experience of life today will be? Not only
does my choice matter, but your choice matters right now. Each expression you
enact involves billions even trillions of cells, electrons, atoms, feelings,
sensations, light, and shadow, action, and perceptions, many seemingly beyond
our desire to know.
If you grasp my meaning, you may realize our experience
living and expressing in this instant is much more infinitely connected to
everything than we care to remain mindful of right now.
Why does it matter that we realize how connected we are to
everything we experience?
It matters because when we forget how dependent we are upon
each other and how much in need of cooperation each life expression in form is,
we tend to loose appreciation and caring. With that loss we separate our self from
a vital part of living experience that creates a justification for abuse,
resentments, competition, deceit, deception, and every form evil can take.
Now that I have used the word “evil” I guess I should use
the word “good.”
Such an assumption leads me to express some tie in with “sin”
and “wholeness.”
This brings to mind the perceptions of “consumer” compared
to “appreciating and giving.”
These representational words are commonly not understood in
ways that help anything at all!
In spite of what many think, there is a clear reason things
are as they are.
In other words, human expression as you know it did not come
to be what it is today by accident.
The difficult part to understand in this experience is that
what was accepted as “truth” may in fact be a “lie.”
This is something that cannot be understood while one
refuses to face anything in themself that is objectionable, that is, anything
difficult to accept, or forgive, or experience because it feels painful, or
produces any feeling of guilt.
Perhaps it is a good time to take a break.
Hopefully this shall continue at a later time.
