My perspective is that the system is what it is, the remedies that stay within the confines of the system aren't really remedies at all.  But, if anything is possible..what can you really think of as a plausible solution?  If you're the kind of person who gets upset with what seems like apathy (I was), maybe  you should commit your attention to the kind of plans that would involve you, your energy, your mind, and those few you would likely attract.  Joy develops power. You are more likely to accomplish your goals, and create your visions when your nerves are calm, cells are oxynenated, etc. etc. (fear interferes with the only likely solution we have to overcome physical circumstances-spiritual growth)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Tina</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 18:39:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Stoping playing into conspiracy theories and take real action</title><link>http://welikeitraw.disqus.com/stoping_playing_into_conspiracy_theories_and_take_real_action/#comment-756048</link><description>Thanks erez, you have a great daily routine. I know readers will be inspired by it.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Dhrumil</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:47:22 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Stoping playing into conspiracy theories and take real action</title><link>http://welikeitraw.disqus.com/stoping_playing_into_conspiracy_theories_and_take_real_action/#comment-753118</link><description>I hear ya Dru...and I do understand the desire to see things change...I understand the desire we have to figure out HOW to change things...I see lots of lost souls daily, and by lost I mean lost in the detail, or lost in the past, lost in hopes, lost in fear, lost even in love, lost in the news, lost in work, lost in conspiracy, lost in religion, lost in feeling good, lost in feeling bad...I see folks doing everything they can to be happy, to better themselves, and I see how that becomes as much an addiction as the addiction to something like sugar...I see it all...and I watch...for myself personally I figured out what works on the level of simple daily life...I have my smoothies, I run up the nearby hill, I do chi-gung with the rising sun every morning...I connect with something that feels ancient, ancient only because I sense someone once felt the same way I do today millenia ago...every day I share warm smiles with people who accept them and sometimes I"m an asshole and smile at folks who dont want my smiles...what I have learned from all my time is this- what matters most, what really really really matters is something that will happen one night, in the dark, alone...its in that timeless place of infinite darkness and depth, when there is nothing else around, no people, absolute zero distraction that the real and only fearful thing will really confront us...in that moment we have a choice to stare it in the face and surprise ourselves by what then happens, or go back to sleep. man that"s a scary place.  I know cause I went there. and i chose to go ahead and stare it in the eye, and i swear it nearly killed me. because it seems like an abyss we will never return from. really, just endlessly dark. but I fought every urge to avoid it. and I looked into it. and when I recovered from the shockastonishmentrepulsionfear i realized it, well, wasnt so bad. then i realized it was actually, well, kinda funny...and then I laughed, and soon I laughed in a way that made the dark less dark...the next day everything changed...the world was the same, the same as it will always be- a kooky place full of flux and challenge, but I found myself welcoming it with a smile and a sense of peace...what was so funny? well, the irony! i realized that the abyss, our fear of death and loss and all darkness is actually the most solid aspect of life...see the irony? what we fear is the very medicine for what we are experiencing today. we are so into the light that we forget how much we need the dark to really get our bearing. i am sure that long ago people spent a lot of time in the dark and were comfortable with it. but today we fear the dark. and that is the central mistake that got us into a whole mess of psychic trouble. so what do i DO now? I do something in every moment that reminds me that nothing lasts and that nothing lasting is a good thing cause it is what allows for something else to happen. just imagine someone pushing the PAUSE button to life and you will get a sense of where I"m going with this. so what do I DO?...sometimes I smile, sometimes I preach about the raw lifestyle, sometimes I am quiet and sometimes I  harangue someone about their weight or with another person simply touch them and give them space to cry. sometimes i touch a plant and send a prayer and sometimes pick up litter. sometimes I am in my garden following the crazy movement of an earthworm, and sometimes i watch the sky fill with chemtrails and wonder what parasitic entity infected the mind of the man who gave the order to dump barium on whole cities, and then in the next moment I will have lunch, or teach a class, but the point is it is always moving, changing, and then i remember to get my bearing by going back to the abyss where all is still...my point is the question "what to do?" has no answer because it is the wrong question I think...if you ask it you artificially box reality as it appears in your mind's eye into a mold, and molded we start to feel trapped, fearful, angry...because we cant help but do, and what we do will instantly morph; so looking to "sustain" anything is as foolish as asking the passing cloud to stop right there! so instead of what to do? I simply surprise myself as often as i can every day, coming from that place where in the depths of darkness I laughed at the silliness of how serious I once took it all...what to do? let go the question altogether and see what takes its place...</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">erez</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 09:34:56 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Stoping playing into conspiracy theories and take real action</title><link>http://welikeitraw.disqus.com/stoping_playing_into_conspiracy_theories_and_take_real_action/#comment-753085</link><description></description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">erez</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 09:30:08 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Stoping playing into conspiracy theories and take real action</title><link>http://welikeitraw.disqus.com/stoping_playing_into_conspiracy_theories_and_take_real_action/#comment-752691</link><description>Hey Erez. These are all first steps, my first steps.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Fear could be a motivating factor, but it won't sustain action. I'm simply suggesting that we let go of the fear and starting taking action.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'd love to hear of the things you are doing in your life to bring change.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Dhrumil</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:25:52 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Stoping playing into conspiracy theories and take real action</title><link>http://welikeitraw.disqus.com/stoping_playing_into_conspiracy_theories_and_take_real_action/#comment-752173</link><description>thank you erez for your perceptiona and clarity&lt;br&gt;imho what we see in the world is a symptom of the collective state of consciousness&lt;br&gt;to ignore the symptom will not heal the disease. feelings are our way of detectng things - very valuable!!!!!&lt;br&gt;dealing with teh symptoms alone will not cure the disease either&lt;br&gt;maybe the life changes we need to make are actually much deeper than we can almost dare to contemplate but if made will lead to  an experience of life that is moe profoundly bautiful than we almost dare hope&lt;br&gt;holly</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">holly</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:47:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Stoping playing into conspiracy theories and take real action</title><link>http://welikeitraw.disqus.com/stoping_playing_into_conspiracy_theories_and_take_real_action/#comment-752117</link><description>below is from WE LIKE IT RAW...and it doesnt sit right with me...I mean, the real neocon globalist enemy is talking openly about population reduction by 80-90% by all means necessary, using everything from vaccines to gmo to chemtrails to haarp and all the rest on their laundry list...and if that DOESNT scare us then what it means is we are simply numbed and dumbed! watching a horror flick is senselessly scary, but alex jones and others pointing out facts about the true terrorists in our midst is not being done for simple shock value...its cause, jeez, there is a cabal and its enlisted minions destroying every vestige of human value and freedom and life ( 4 million dead innocent iraqis already obliterated for nothing! )...I mean, hello, there is no pleasure in discovering 9/11 was an inside job...the suggestion below to read Eckhart Tolle"s Power of Now and to use debit cards and transition to raw misses the point altogether and actually plays into the game of the psychopaths; they know human nature; they know that there's nothing like new age hokey to distract! i thought about this a lot and fear is a legitimate and natural red flag that properly allowed for can save our hides...fear out of control can debilitate, but it only debilitates those who arent ready to actually face their fears, and deep self-knowledge and even deep peace comes exactly from facing what we fear, not imagining something else and putting on a happy face. naturally, it is fun to watch Tolle and Oprah talk shop together in an undisturbed state, there is truth in all of what they say, but given what is happening around us it is as inappropriate as that quartet on the sinking Titanic...there is nothing scarier to me than someone incapable of seeing a chemtrail right there in the sky and it not being talked about with vigorous affront...what can I say, I loved the movie Braveheart! What I have learned from the "conspiracy" movement has not lead me into any degree of "unconsciousness", but to its very opposite, a true appreciation of life, and more than anything else it has forced me to be discerning on more levels than even waking up to raw foods has done...so, lets know our peace and strength is there in the eye of the storm, but, god help us if we dont take notice of the storm! all the love in the world to you all...</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">erez</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:23:17 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
