Jesus was historical, and inspired too!

jesus said something that only our generation could provide an avalanche of proof.

he said: it is easier for a camel to get through a needles eye than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of god.

(mathew 19:24).

I do not harbor any “serious bitterness for the wealthy.” I have worked under some of the billionairs—one of them was very humane, whereas others were very mean, treating fellow humans as mere objects.

Here the point is not about how I view the wealthy, but why did Jesus say they will not inherit the kingdom of God? I do not think Jesus was expecting us to interpret what he said and to arrive at conclusion just opposite to what he had in mind. He meant what he said, and reason is most of the wealthy fail to treat the fellow humans as fellow humans.

To see the fulfillment of what Jesus said, I do not have to be a high-profile scholar. Just common sense is enough. I remember seeing a picture published in many news papers during Vietnam War—half of it showing the hapless victims who lost all their properties and became physically disabled, and the other half of the picture showing the bungalow and paradaisic surroundings of the owner of the Dow chemicals that supplied napalm bombs. This shows in most cases one can become materially rich at the expense of other’s suffering, hence rich man is convertible with disregard for others’ wellbeing, hence will have to be in the hell he himself creates for him and others (which means: disregard will never brings joy, hence gives hell, whereas regard and care for others make one feel as if he lives in heaven).

Which generation does not matter, what I said: our generation provides “avalanche of proof” which means other generation too provides proof, but not in the quantity of our generation.

Our generation has produced more number of rich people! Look at what they are doing and their attitude.

1) They filled the earth with arms and ammunitions;

2) They polluted the land we reside in, water we drink, and air we breathe—bringing climate change, sea-level rise, increasing number of diseases, natural calamities, wars …

3) They produce processed food and make us pay for eating their (false) food which fills our stomach with wastages and toxins which provide a fertile environment for disease causing organisms to multiply, inviting diseases.

Action and attitude of the rich is that ‘we are determined to create hell for ourselves and others’ (like the one who tries to cut the very branch he sits on). Degree of, or intensity of fulfillment of Jesus’ words is so overwhelming that it even neutralized another verse of Jesus: “Foxes have dens and birds of heaven have roosts, but Son of man has nowhere to lay down his head.” (Mathew 8:20) Look at the way the rich have created concrete jungles with skyscrapers in such a way that sons of men have place everywhere to lay down their head, but foxes and birds have less and less places to lay their heads (deforestation destroys the forest as big as Great Britain in a year)

Homo sapiens is also missing (let alone the missing links in between)

by iconoclastic in

the word sapiens (from latin, meaning wise) when applied to humans as final evolute, it is understood that humans manifest wisdom in their day-to-day living.

one of the features of being wise (which means having/showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment) is about replacing wastages with something better.

is this being done with regard to many of the greater aspects of our lives?.

Religions are like drainage (as they all teach to seek material blessings from God), hence are convertible with materialism, but spirituality without religions is like pure water body. You people have only seen drainage. Then you moved to evolution theory which is also materialism, hence not a pure water body. But the difference is that one who knows where the pure water body is will always be sympathetic to those who belittle him! In contrast to the one who thinks that he is this body and gets affected by every external happening, one with true vision faces difficult situations with balance and gracefulness. True vision means having a comprehensive view, seeing the immaterial reality behind this material and temporary body! That immaterial reality is where thinking, discriminating and recording take place, and those faculties (mind, intellect and sub-conscious mind) belong to soul. That means it is in soul that all knowing and experiencing take place. In other words, experience exists in the experiencer. If one remembers this fact, then no experience would grow more important than the experiencer at any time. This view enables one to position himself ABOVE the experiences which help him to view all experiences (pleasant or unpleasant) as road traffic being viewed from a building top, remaining totally unaffected. Even in a tragic event, people with this true vision will look for any lesson to be learned from it and move forward totally unaffected.

Many a time people shape their views unconsciously. Persons who come out work on their views consciously. If your focus is scattered by what you consider is `you' and `yours' (your house, car, wife, child, pet, education, position and power….) then, what you call yourself is what is spread around you. Right now, you're not an established being; you are a scattered being. You are not you; you are a crowd. In this situation, you see with the crown.

Once you act as an individual (from Latin, indivisible), the indivisible Self, can no longer be divided. Once you become a true individual, you begin to see things differently—things as they are!

If individuals or nations try to identify the wastages and find out better ways, instantly the brute in humans will manifest with all sorts of funny excuses. For example, see what happens if some vital suggestions such as the following are made:

1. Everyone on earth use one word for America. Let us do the same with other words such as earth, water, air …. Why do we need thousands of words to refer the concepts such as them?

2. Let us avoid all types of gambling (subtle and gross) which has made many rich people poor overnight

3. Let us do …… (we can make hundreds of such suggestions)

It is not God that thwarts the unification attempts (as being made in the God-dishonoring Babel episode where God supposedly confused the language of people). It is the brute in us that would resist all such unifications efforts. Brute has not evolved into humans. It is humans that have evolved,or are evolving into brute. This truth remains protected in some ancient languages. For example, the word for selfishness in those languages is swarth which is a combination of the word swa (soul) and rath (chariot) which implies that there was a time on earth when each one remembered that he was a spirit being clothed in physical body which was the vehicle (chariot) of the soul; then humanity evolved into brute thinking that they are just these physical bodies, and thinking in terms of my-ness and mine-ness which are at the root of all problems!

Theory of Evolution and humanity are moving in parallel, and in opposite direction too!

by iconoclastic in

proponents of evolution theory was comfortable with their easiest method of induction that says something like this: i saw a blind man in the us, then in russia, then in australian, then in africa ..., hence all men are blind.

yet proofs are abundant for the decline (opposite of evolution) we experience globally!.

1) most humans declined into greed, the result of which is climate change which has the potential to wipe out all life from the earth.

LisaRose,

Your one sentence tells that you are closing your eyes towards facts: “Religions have not "declined into divisiveness". More people = more religions. Also nothing to do with evolution. Nothing.”

Religion goes divisive once its founder leaves the stage (1 Corinthians 1:12, 13). It has nothing to do with population increase.

Also question arise—why should religion go divisive if population increases? Also, what did over 41000 Christian sects accomplish by being divisive other than giving a massage to their collective ego?
