The Pope’s Illogic:
Quote: The 80-year-old Pope said the world needed to care for the environment but not to the point where the welfare of animals and plants was given a greater priority than that of mankind.
(He is instructing you like an authority precisely what to do and just how much)
It is farfetched to think we are anywhere near putting the welfare of animals and plants on par let alone above human welfare. Why are animals and plants vanishing in record numbers and record time if we are such wonderful guardians for them? Animals and plants are severely downtrodden and that is a key cause of potential future biosphere instability. Few if any scientists are fighting for animal and plant welfare but they are more concerned about catastrophe wrought upon the earth by the unabated pumping of CO2 into the atmosphere warming the earth, with the unprecedented rapid speed and number of species going extinct a separate but equally important consideration regarding the viability of the earth.
What the pope said may sound nice to emotional ears but it makes no sense at all.
YOU MAY BE RIGHT THAT ANIMALS AND PLANTS MEAN LITTLE OR NOTHING, ARE DIRT OR JUST THERE FOR YOU TO USE AND EXPLOIT OR THEY MAY BE CRITICAL TO THE WELBEING OF THE BIOSPHERE ON EARTH (EVEN MORE THAN HUMANS WHO ARE A CURSE OR VERITABLE PARASITE THAN A BOON TO THE EARTH) AND ANIMALS HAVE LIVES THAT ARE JUST AS VALID AS YOURS AND YOU CAN BECOME AN ANIMAL IN ETERNAL HABITATIONS DESCRIBED BY JESUS AND IF THE LATTER IS THE CASE YOU HAVE WRONG VIEW THAT ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA LED TO HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB.
Quote: The leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics suggested that fears over man-made emissions melting the ice caps and causing a wave of unprecedented disasters were nothing more than scare-mongering.
It may be true they are scaremongering but the truth may even be worse than what this scaremongering paints and if you call it scare mongering and it turns out more correct than your view then you have wrong view that is not without consequence but even deadly consequence. Tell God, “Sorry, how was I to know my view was wrong?” If you don’t know then you should not stick your neck out to make opinions that also influence others. If you do not know then you should adopt the position ‘better safe than sorry’ rather than dismiss it as scaremongering and keep acting the way you are.
Is Jesus scaremongering when he painted a disaster scenario of the close of the Age when there will be earthquakes in many places, famine, nations will turn against nations, the sun and moon not shining? Or is Jesus speaking of a time conveniently in the future well after you depart from this world that has nothing to do with the systemic and relentless destruction of the earth by mankind?
Jesus said ‘the hour is coming’ and the kingdom of God is at hand, so the close of the Age is not far away after his departure and so even if you are not certain, you will not dismiss as impossible that mankind’s continued pillage will lead to suffering never seen since the foundation of the earth and the ruler of this world (you) will be judged.
YOUR BODY HAS A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE (37 DEGREE CENTIGRADE) THAT IT IS UNIVERSALLY CRITICAL TO MAINTAIN OTHERWISE NOT EVERYONE WILL HAVE THE SAME NARROW BODY TEMPERATURE RANGE. IF SOMEONE WERE TO RELENTLESSLY RAISE YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE (EG TO 45 DEG CENTIGRADE) FOR A SUSTAINED PERIOD, IT IS CERTAIN YOU WILL DIE BECAUSE YOUR BODY (PROTEINS AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES) IS NOT DESIGNED TO FUNCTION ABOVE A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE.
IN THE SAME WAY, IT IS OBJECTIVELY PROVEN THAT THE EARTH’S BODY TEMPERATURE IS RISING INEXORABLY NOT BY MAGIC BUT BECAUSE OF THE RISING GREENHOUSE GASES THAT HUMAN ACTIVITIES PUMP INTO THE AIR AND IT IS LIKELY IF NOT CERTAIN THE EARTH CANNOT SUSTAIN INDEFINITE RISES IN ITS BODY TEMPERATURE AND WILL SOON REACH A POINT OF INSTABILITY AND THEN IT WILL DIE JUST AS YOU WILL DIE IF I KEEP RAISING YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE. WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH THE PRIMACY OF HUMAN RIGHTS OVER ANIMAL AND PLANT RIGHTS THAT THE POPE WANTS US TO CONSIDER REGARDING GLOBAL WARNING? INSTEAD IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE MANKIND HAS IGNORED AND RUN ROUGHSHOD OVER THE RIGHTS OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS THAT HE IS NOW FACED WITH THIS PREDICAMENT OF GLOBAL WARMING THAT THREATENS HIS VERY OWN SURVIVAL EVEN IF HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANIMAL OR PLANT SURVIVAL.
THE POPE CAN CHAMPION ALL THE HUMAN RIGHTS OVER ANIMAL AND PLANT RIGHTS THAT HE WANTS BUT SO LONG AS HUMAN ACTIVITIES ARE RAISING THE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE AND THE EARTH HAS FINITE NOT LIMITLESS TOLERANCE FOR TEMPERATURE RISES BEFORE IT DEVELOPS A FATAL FEVER, THEN YOU ARE SOWING THE SEEDS OF YOUR AND THE EARTH’S FUTURE DEMISE BY CONTINUING TO HEEDLESSLY RAISE THE EARTH’S TEMPERATURE.
SINCE WHEN HAVE HUMANS SHOWN ANY MEANINGFUL CONCERTED CONSIDERATION FOR ANIMAL AND PLANT WELFARE?
CONCERN ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT ABOUT PROMOTING ANIMAL AND PLANT RIGHTS OVER HUMAN RIGHTS. FEW IF ANY SCIENTISTS ARE CLAMORING FOR ANIMAL AND PLANT RIGHTS OVER HUMAN RIGHTS.
INSTEAD, GLOBAL WARMING IS ABOUT CONCERN OVER WHAT MANKIND IS DOING TO THE EARTH, SPECIFICALLY THE HEEDLESS ESCALATING PUMPING OF CO2 INTO ATMOSPHERE RAISING TEMPERATURES THAT MAY DESTABILIZE AND POTENTIALLY DESTROY THE ENTIRE BIOSPHERE THAT INCLUDES MANKIND, ABOUT THE CRASS OVERCONSUMPTION THAT GENERATES TOXIC & INDIGESTIBLE WASTES AT VOLUMES THE EARTH CANNOT COPE WITH, THE CONTINUED DESTRUCTION OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS THAT REDUCES BIODIVERSITY THAT MAY BE CRUCIAL TO THE VIABILITY OF THE BIOSPHERE.
THUS THE POPE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT HE SAYS ONLY SERVE TO CONFUSE AND MISLEAD THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM.
IT MAY WELL BE THAT THE EARTH IS UNCOMPLAINING AND WILL CONTINUE TO ABSORB THE ABUSE MANKIND IS METING TO IT OR IT MAY BE THAT MANKIND IS DRIVING THE BIOSYSTEM TO A CLIFF DOWN WHICH THE EARTH WITH MANKIND WILL DISASTROUSLY PLUNGE AND IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN THE POPE IS IRRESPONSIBLE IN NOT ADVISING PEOPLE TO BE SAFE NOW RATHER THAN SORRY LATER.
It is wrong view that the false inappropriate logic that the pope displayed here is just an isolated blemish and his logic or reasoning is otherwise intact or good but the truth is that his false logic as demonstrated here reflects a fundamental faultiness in his reasoning that is rigid and rule bound that although it may appear to be appropriate to the situation in other instances it is an illusion imperceptible to undiscerning people and his logic is always rehashed false to be applied to the situation.
A person who is devoted to the truth will not say anything he does not understand is sensible and it is impossible for him to issue this statement that the pope has issued that human rights take precedent over animal and plant rights because it is incomprehensible and inappropriate to the issue at hand, namely global warming caused by mankind’s relentless raising the level of greenhouse gases that potentially may fatally compromise the earth’s capacity to further support life. What is the use of advocating the supremacy of human rights over animal and plant life if it is true that mankind is relentlessly raising the levels of greenhouse gases that will fatally destabilise the earth to the harm of all life here including mankind’s?
This statement that the pope has issued reflects that he has no understanding of the issue at hand and yet he deems fit to make a comment and the only way this is possible is that his perception of the issue here as everywhere is faulty even false and his reasoning and conclusions he makes, here as everywhere else is rule bound and rigid, they only appear appropriate to foolish people who are themselves robots but everywhere else, the pope’s logic can be demonstrated to be rigid, rule bound and didactic or patronizing.
WHOEVER BELIEVES (ACCEPTS AS TRUE) WHAT THE POPE SAID THAT HUMAN RIGHTS HAS PRIMACY OVER ANIMAL AND PLANT RIGHTS, WHETHER HIMSELF OR YOU IS HEADED FOR MADNESS BECAUSE IT IS FALSE AND DOES NOT APPLY TO THE CRISIS OF GLOBAL WARMING FACING MANKIND.
THE BUDDHA SAID THAT YOU HAVE HAD YOUR HEADS CUT AND YOUR BLOOD SPILLED GREATER THAN THE FOUR GREAT OCEANS EXISTING AS ANIMALS SUCH AS GOATS, CATTLE, CHICKEN AND SO IT IS WRONG VIEW THAT LEADS TO HELL AND THE ANIMAL WOMB TO ADVOCATE HUMAN RIGHTS ABOVE ANIMAL RIGHTS.
Quote: In October, the Australian Cardinal George Pell, the Archbishop of Sydney, caused an outcry when he noted that the atmospheric temperature of Mars had risen by 0.5 degrees celsius.
"The industrial-military complex up on Mars can't be blamed for that," he said in a criticism of Australian scientists who had claimed that carbon emissions would force temperatures on earth to rise by almost five degrees by 2070 unless drastic solutions were enforced.
Comment: He is sarcastic and therefore cannot mean what he said but the opposite and is therefore a hypocrite. Obviously there is no industrial military complex on Mars and it therefore has nothing to do with Mar’s temperature rise but if you think you can make the same inference on earth, you are flirting with future insanity. The reason he says it is because he has strong self identity views with the establishments on earth & he is derisive. He may be right he is on the side of God but he may not realize there is an eternity of suffering awaiting him and yet here is a man who is supposed to be a spiritual leader of Christians.
The fool is smug (an emotion that has nothing to do with reason) in his riposte thinking he has proven his point and slapped his enemy when he is putting his head unnecessarily on the chopper board.
RULES LOGIC:
All stylish emotional people have prefabricated answers and reasoning stored in their minds that they rehash for the situation at hand and if the reply appears to fit the situation at hand or the people who receive it are themselves somnolent it appears that the reasoning and answers are specific to the occasion but even in those situations where people accept what is said to them without question, the discerning person can see and know it is not genuine reasoning but rote ruled reasoning.
For instance ‘the world needed to care for the environment but not to the point where the welfare of animals and plants was given a greater priority than that of mankind’ is a rehashed rule bound answer that is inappropriate to the situation it was applied to based on the rule or format answer ‘the ___ needed to ___ for ___ but not to the point where the ___ of ____ was given a greater priority than that of ___’. Just fill in the blanks and you have what may be an impressive answer for a situation.
Stylish people never examine all factors of a current situation (too much trouble and they have never done it before) but they just take snapshots that may misrepresent the situation and consult their mental dictionary or jukebox for explanations and having found an explanation they think is apt, they dish it out by filling the blanks that is appropriate to this case.
Not as simple as you may think:
Those who think that all mankind has to do is cut down pollution and emissions may be foolish.
It seems the rise of more clean burning cars (catalytic converters and full injection) may worsen global warming than ameliorate it because the smog caused by soot in the air actually shields the earth from the sun’s rays and should the smog lift, the penetration of the sun’s rays increases and hence global warming is worst.
As another example, misguided humans hatched leatherback turtle eggs at a certain temperature not realizing that the sex of turtles are determined by the temperature of brooding and thus rather than saving the leatherbacks they might condemn them to earlier extinction because if the turtles are all females, they cannot mate.
THUS WHATEVER MANKIND DOES HE MAY BE DAMNED AND RECTIFYING PAST ABUSES IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS YOU THINK AND THE EARTH MAY HAVE WELL PASSED THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
Nice & nonsensical:
Only if consideration for animal and plants welfare are currently on par and in danger of surpassing consideration for human welfare is the pope right to some extent to state that ‘the world needed to care for the environment but not to the point where the welfare of animals and plants was given a greater priority than that of mankind’
If consideration for animal and plant welfare severely lags consideration for human welfare and has no hope of achieving parity with human considerations and few if any scientists are clamouring for an upgrade of consideration for their welfare, what is the pope talking about?
Since the scenario does not apply he should just say “the world needs to care for the environment” and the rider ‘but not to the point where the welfare of animals and plants was given a greater priority than that of mankind’ makes no sense or is nonsense or just for show.
If he believed it was nonsense he would not have said it. It is precisely because the rider makes no sense but he and ilk minded readers perceives it as sensible that they are flirting with future madness.
What is said (that the world needs to show concern for the environment) is in platitude, in niceness because there is a caveat attached to it that is clearly inapplicable.
Why mankind is a curse to the earth:
Name me one animal or plant or microbe that may be responsible for potentially destroying the earth by pumping CO2 into the air, polluting it with wastes and toxic chemicals and causing so many animals and plants to go extinct.
If mankind is doing this and no other plant or animal is similarly responsible, rather than a boon, mankind is a bane or parasite to the earth.
Expressing his reservation:
By adding the rider ‘‘but not to the point where the welfare of animals and plants was given a greater priority than that of mankind’, the pope’s intention is to express his reservations or detract from what he initially said and that is to contradict what he said.
The foolish emotional person who is aligned with the pope will say “but he has already said you must be concerned with the environment” so why am I ‘jumping on him’ but what he subsequently said BELIED what he said earlier and renders it tainted if not hypocritical.
Expressing reservations is to render what you said dishonest:
If you examine carefully everything the Buddha and Jesus are known to have said, you may not find any reservations or riders to what they earlier said that renders it inoperable. If animal considerations are higher than humans’ then according to the pope you should not show consideration for the environment.
By expressing reservations you are stating what you said earlier is not wholehearted but half hearted and you do not fully mean what you said and you are partly if not totally a hypocrite.
You must not have reservations:
If what you say is the truth, you mean what you say, you must not attach reservations that always render what you said inoperable and is therefore false.
It does not matter whether human or animal or plant considerations take precedent but if you have genuine concern for the environment it will always be so and must always be so.
ONLY WHAT IS FALSE OR DID NOT HAPPEN CAN HAVE RESERVATIONS OR COME WITH RESERVATIONS. WHATEVER IS TRUE IS TRUE BY ITSELF AND COMES WITHOUT ANY RESERVATIONS. IF YOU TRULY LOVE ANOTHER PERSON IT NEVER COMES WITH ANY RESERVATIONS OR PROVISOS EG THAT IT IS REQUITTED OR HE LISTENS TO YOU OR TAKE YOU ON A TRIP, ETC.
IT IS BECAUSE ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE GUILTY OF APPLYING RESERVATIONS TO MANY THINGS THEY SAY OR THEY ARE EMPHATICALLY OR WITH FORCE SAY WITHOUT RESERVATION THAT THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH EXPRESSING RESERVATIONS WHEN THE RESERVATIONS NEGATE WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER.
Why the pope may be expressing reservations:
There is public awareness and concern about environmental issues so the church and the pope must at least be seen to be interested and define its position on the issue and it is a no brainer that the church should at least in some way be seen support the environmental cause because religion is about caring for each other and the extension of that caring is caring for the earth.
On the other hand, the pope may not be very knowledgeable about environmental issues, what fascinate him may be scholarly or ecclesiastical matters, he may underestimate that things can suddenly go bad, despite environmental changes everything seems fine and surely will continue to be fine and he may have a dislike for those at the forefront of the environmental cause or have disdain even for science itself.
THUS THE FIRST PART OF HIS STATEMENT THAT WE SHOULD HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS IS MERELY A RELUCTANT CONCESSION OR TO BE SEEN TO ACT FALSITY OR NICETY WHILST HIS RESERVATIONS REFLECTS HIS INDIFFERENCE AND EVEN DISMISSAL OF THE DANGERS ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES POSE.
Will the Buddha express reservations about what he said that singing is crying and dancing is insanity in the teaching of the noble ones? Whether you like it or not, that is what he is telling you. Just you don’t like or find incredible the description by Jesus about the calamity at the close of the Age does not mean he will amend himself or have reservations about what he said.
THUS ALL RESERVATIONS ARE FALSE AND RENDER WHAT WAS STATED INITIALLY NOT WHOLEHEARTED BUT HYPOCRITICAL.
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, I WILL NOT ALTER ONE WORD I SAY THAT THERE IS CONSTANT USE OF FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS IN THE VOCALIZATIONS OF ALL BEINGS HERE AND THAT IS THE ROOT TO THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT MUST REGULARLY BESET THEM AND WILL KILL THEM OR SEND THEM TO INSANITY. IF YOU MUST PROLONG YOU MUST FEEL SAD THAT LEADS TO DEPRESSION. IF YOU MUST ACCELERATE IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS WHEN SPEAKING YOU MUST FEEL HURT BY WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU THAT YOU DISLIKE OR DOES NOT APPEASE YOUR LIKE.
Reservation is going back on what you said:
Reservation is going back on what you say and that is rendering what you said false and generating doubt and uncertainty that is a fetter to future woe.
Did the Buddha say that dancing is insanity only if you overdo it or did it in a certain way or it is decadent or not classical dancing or ballet? Thus there are no reservations in what the Buddha said and he meant what he said, like it or not. If you flout, you are taking a bet against him and will find the result later.
Reservations as a rote way of speaking:
Reflecting that what they say (that are derivatives of their thoughts and also reflect their thoughts) is not fresh specific for the occasion but standardized, because stylish people have learnt to speak so well with reservations or couched terms, it is now involuntary, unconscious, they cannot help inserting reservations to whatever they say.
THUS AN IMPORTANT REASON WHY THE POPE EXPRESSED RESERVATIONS IN THIS CASE OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN IS BECAUSE RESERVATION IS INGRAINED IN HIM AS IN ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE, RESERVATION IS BASED ON FORCE NOT REASON AND PEOPLE WITH RESERVATIONS ARE INCREASINGLY DRIVEN BY HABIT TO ALWAYS SPEAK WITH RESERVATIONS THAT WILL END IN INSANITY.
Speaking with reservation as an impressive style:
Because it is the foolish perception of human society that the person who expresses reservation appears a thoughtful or intellectual person or person of substance, in the name of impressing others, people have learnt to express as much reservations as frequently as possible in whatever matters they are invited upon to contribute their comments.
Speaking with reservations is addictive just like alcoholism, drinking or speaking humorously or trying to make everything seem funny and so in time the person becomes obsessed with finding reservations in whatever matters he gives thoughts to.
Sometimes his reservations fit quite well into the issue and fools people to think they are genuine, at times perhaps in haste their reservations are inappropriate and then their generalized across board nature becomes more evident.
Many people have little genuine interest in many matters yet they feel compelled to make comments and in order to impress, since the matter mean little to them, they must sprinkle in some reservations to impress that they have given much thought to the subject when they don’t care much.
“Yes, but” or ‘sure, but’ is a stance that is adopted by many and is a form of speaking with reservations.
Not everyone is interested in environmental issues and some people may be cloistered in their ivory towers detached from the real world but they may feel compelled to comment on matters that do not really interest them and sometimes they put a foot in their mouths without themselves and most listeners being aware.
Nazi Ideology Than Christian Love:
The pope was a member of Hitler Youth but he claimed he was coerced and he has reformed himself yet it may be or is that he still consciously or unconsciously subscribe to Nazi ideology. It is not without reason that he is branded God’s Rotweiller.
What the pope is saying is that when it comes to the crunch, the wellbeing and thus survival of him and that of fellow humans take precedent over animal and plant wellbeing and survival.
This sound in keeping with the Nazi ideology that ‘better I survive and you should die than I should die and you survive’ rather than Christian love that you should lay down your life for others, ‘better I die than you should suffer or perish’, better I take your place on the cross than you should suffer on the cross.
Thus herein may be another reason for what the pope said. He is inadvertently revealing his continued subscription to Nazi ideology and what he said merely reflects his predilections.
It is the plants and animals that keep the earth’s biosphere in balance and it is truculent man’s avarice and tampering that destabilized it and therefore it would be better from the earth’s point of view that mankind should perish and the plants and animals should survive.
IF YOUR CONCERN FOR THE EARTH OR ENVIRONMENT IS GENUINE THEN IT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HUMAN OR ANIMAL AND PLANT WELLBEING TAKES PRECEDENT. IF YOUR CONCERN FOR THE EARTH IS HYPOCRITICAL THEN, WHEN IT COMES TO THE CRUNCH, YOUR OWN AND THAT OF YOUR KIND’S WELLBEING TAKE PRECEDENT OVER THAT OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS, AND EVEN THE EARTH’S WELLBEING. THE FOOL THINKS HE CAN EVEN SURVIVE WITHOUT THE EARTH AND SO IF IT IS MATTER OF WHETHER HE SURVIVES OR THE EARTH SURVIVES THEN BETTER THE EARTH PERISH AND HE SURVIVES.
THUS IN SAYING SO, THE POPE IS DEMONSTRATING THAT HIS CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IS HYPOCRITICAL, IS SELF CENTERED, REVOLVES AROUND PRESERVING HIS AND HUMAN WELLBEING HERE RATHER THAN GENUINE UNCONDITIONAL CARE FOR THE EARTH.
ALL RESERVATIONS RENDER WHAT WAS SAID PREVIOUSLY FALSE AND THERE ARE NEVER TRUE REASON FOR INSERTING RESERVATIONS IN WHATEVER YOU SAY BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS CONTRADICT WHAT YOU SAY EARLIER AND RENDER IT FALSE.
In the past people took baskets along to go shopping, nowadays people not just use plastic bags provided by vendors but they use more bags than necessary as when I shop in Tesco and they put items in another bag when the previous bag is not even filled.
In the past nobody had fans now many have air conditioners not just in the bedrooms but even living rooms, they drive to their local store at the drop of the hat.
You have to ask yourself whether every tree you chop down and every animal you kill for food is even remotely necessary or it is for adornment, frivolously, so that you can live an unnecessary luxurious life here or even senseless, people hunt for fun (not because they are desperate for food) and chop trees down for no apparent reason to ‘let off steam’.
Before you eliminate all these excesses or wasteful senseless consumption you are a fool and hypocrite to talk about caring for the environment but not to the extent of animal and plant welfare taking precedent over human welfare as if this scenario is even remotely possible.
Thinking is a trap not palace:
People think that thinking is good, unavoidable when thinking is unnecessary suffering and a trap detaining the being in the lower realms and suffering.
People who are self centred and conceited are fascinated by ideas & concepts, both theirs and others, they are addicted to thinking, identify with their thinking not realizing it is false, impermanent, a trap and suffering.
The Buddha taught that it is possible to exist without thinking and it is a higher form of existence that accords the being who can exist without thinking by just seeing everything and then doing or not doing even two eons in heavenly bliss.
YOU HAVE WRONG VIEW IF YOU THINK THAT THINKING IS NECESSARY, UNAVOIDABLE AND GOOD. IF YOU SEE AND HEAR EVERYTHING THEN YOU DO NOT NEED TO THINK BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING. IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE DISTRACTED BY THEIR CONSTANT FORCEFUL EMOTIONAL THOUGHTS, THEY MERELY TAKE SNAPSHOTS OF EVENTS AND ARE DETACHED FROM REALITY THAT THEY ARE FORCED TO RELY ON THINKING TO GET THEM OUT THEIR PREDICAMENT OF NOT SEEING OR HEARING EVERYTHING.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXIST FULLY CONSCIOUS WITHOUT THINKING JUST LIKE IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A BLUE SKY WITHOUT EVEN A WISP OF CLOUD IN IT AND THE WISE PERSON WILL LEARN TO WEAN HIMSELF OFF THE ADDICTION AND FASCINATION WITH THINKING, WITH IMPRESSING OTHERS WITH HIS THINKING PROWESS OR IDEAS. YOU HAVE TO STOP YOURSELF FROM USING UNNECESSARY FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS WHEN YOU THINK BEFORE YOU CAN FINALLY ACHIEVE THE EFFORTLESS CESSATION OF ALL THINKING WHEN FULLY CONSCIOUS.
ALTHOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXIST WITHOUT THINKING AND IT IS NOT DUMB BUT A SUPERIOR MORE BLISSFUL STATE OF EXISTENCE, BEINGS HERE, EVEN THOSE WHO ARE VERY INTELLECTUAL ARE CLUELESS ABOUT ITS POSSIBILITY AND INCREDULOUS NOW THAT I HAVE POINT IT OUT WHERE NO ONE HAS DONE BEFORE. IF YOU THINK GOD THINKS LIKE YOU THINK, GOD NEED TO THINK YOU MAY BE DELUDED BECAUSE GOD MAY NOT NEED TO THINK BECAUSE HE SEES AND KNOWS EVERYTHING SO WHAT IS THERE TO THINK.
NOW THAT I HAVE LET YOU INTO THIS SECRET, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? FALL BACK AND CONTINUE TO LANGUISH IN THE MIRE OF CONSTANT, FORCEFUL EMOTIONAL THOUGHTS OFTEN FRIVOLOUS AND UNRELATED TO THE MATTER AT HAND?
AND THE CONSCIOUS CESSATION OF ALL THINKING IS NOT THE END OF THE MATTER BECAUSE THE CONCENTRATION OF THE MIND CAN BE DEVELOPED FURTHER AND EQUANIMITY PERFECTED THAT ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA ACCORDS THAT WISE BEING EVEN 60,000 EONS IN BLISS AWAY FROM THIS WORLD.
Why people’s constant thinking is controlled madness:
It is impossible that any being should need to think all the time and it reflects they are not masters of their thinking but slaves, there is force and momentum or emotion backing their thinking that makes it hard or virtually impossible to stop, most of their thinking is of a frivolous or vain nature and they are practicing controlled madness in the name of getting along, impressing themselves and others and greed for gain and once the control is lost as in a crisis or old age they will lapse into uncontrollable thinking or madness.
WHATEVER THAT IS NECESSARY OR MEANINGFUL NEEDS REASON TO HAPPEN AND THEREFORE CANNOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS NEEDED OR MEANINGFUL.
WHATEVER THAT IS UNNECESSARY OR FOR SHOW TO IMPRESS, PLEASE, INTIMIDATE OR DOMINATE, DOES NOT NEED REASON OR NECESSITY TO HAPPEN AND THEREFORE CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME SO LONG AS THE FOOLISH BEING WISHES AND WILLS IT. WHAT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME WHEN FREQUENTLY PRACTICED BECAUSE THE FOOLISH BEING WISHES TO DECEIVE, PLEASE OR IMPRESS OTHERS IN TIME BECOMES CONSTANT, AUTOMATICALLY HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE IT IS UNNECESSARY AND CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME.
THUS IF ANYTHING HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, IT MUST BE FALSE BECAUSE WHAT IS TRUE NEEDS REASON TO HAPPEN AND IF THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT TO HAPPEN IT DOES NOT HAPPEN.
THUS CONSTANT THINKING, CONSTANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGING OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS MUST BE FALSE AND MEANINGLESS BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.
He who endures till the end will be saved:
Jesus said he who endures till the end will be saved and the Buddha said that if a being does not lose his goodwill to all, he is born in heaven for an eternity that indicates that sheep can lose their goodness or goodwill and they are not masters of themselves.
Sheep cannot stop thinking but their thoughts tend to be wholesome, to not harm others or be tainted by ill will but no matter how wholesome your thinking is, it is still unsatisfactory compared to the person who can stop thinking at will. If you are not thinking, your thoughts can never be evil because there are no thoughts in the first place and therefore no thinking is an incomparably superior state of the mind compared to the thinking state no matter how wholesome one’s thoughts.
Thus although sheep’ thoughts are not tainted by evil, because they cannot stop thinking they are practicing controlled madness of a more savoury sort compared to goats but because they cannot stop thinking when it is possible to do so, they can be induced or provoked by others to lose their goodwill in their thinking that they cannot stop to sin and descend even to hell.
There is no question of enduring for the person who can effortlessly switch off his thinking.
THOSE WHO ARE JUST SHEEP CANNOT STOP THINKING AND WHAT DIFFERENTIATES THEM FROM GOATS IS THAT THEIR THINKING IS FREE FROM EXCESSIVE FORCE AND PRETENTIOUS FOR SHOW STYLE AND THEY DO NOT INTEND TO HARM OTHERS BUT BECAUSE THEY CANNOT STOP THINKING (WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE) THEY ARE NOT MASTERS OF THEMSELVES AND ARE VULNERABLE TO INDUCEMENT AND THUS UNLESS THEY ENDURE TO THE END DESPITE HARD TO RESIST PROVOCATIONS THEY WILL NOT BE SAVED.
The church’s not God’s Rottweiler:
Those who brand the pope God’s Rottweiler is speaking carelessly. He is the Catholic church’s Rottweiler not God’s Rottweiler and you give a false impression if you say so. Did you interview God and did God say so?
Snapshots and filling in the gaps:
It is because people are isolated in their own private make believe worlds and only taking snapshots of whatever is going on around them that they have many gaps in what they did not see or hear that they need to think to fill in those gaps to decide what to do or say.
If instead they had paid full attention to what is going on, since they saw or heard everything they have little need to think because a lot of things happening are actually very simple and self explanatory and evident, so he only need to see everything and then do or not do.
If you did not see or hear everything you are forced to guess and based on the guesses that may be very misleading, you must think what did happen to make a decision what to say or do.
BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSTANTLY DISTRACTED BY THEIR OWN AND OTHERS’ CONSTANT SIMULTANEOUS STYLES, PEOPLE CANNOT PAY FULL ATTENTION TO WHATEVER IS HAPPENING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS BUT THEY ONLY TAKE SNAPSHOTS AND BECAUSE SNAPSHOTS LEAVE THEM WITH DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY, THEY MUST THINK TO GUESS WHAT THEY MISSED AND THINK TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT THEY SAW IN SNAPS & WHAT THEY GUESSED SO AS TO GET A PICTURE THAT MAY BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
IF YOU PAID ATTENTION AND SAW EVERYTHING HAPPENING, WHAT IS THERE TO THINK TO GUESS AND WHAT IS THERE TO THINK TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT YOU SAW IN SNAPS AND WHAT YOU GUESSED?
Christian charity extends to animals too:
Jesus said not a sparrow will fall without the Father’s will and so you should not treat animal lives as next to nothing.
Jesus also said what you did to the least of me you did to me, what you did to your slippers by disrespectfully abusing it let alone what you did to animals, you did it to God.
Thus anyone who says that human wellbeing takes precedent over animal and plant wellbeing may be taking too much to liberty whilst the person who says that the wellbeing of all creatures be they man, animal or plants are equally important has right view.
Pandering to the audience:
It is automatic for people to pander to their audiences even without realization.
Because the pope is addressing humans what he said would please humans because in his view, they take precedent over animals and plants.
If the pope was addressing animals and there was a growling fearsome lion staring at him he might facetiously say that when it comes to a crunch animal wellbeing takes precedent over humans.
PEOPLE SEEK TO PLEASE OTHERS AND BY SAYING HUMAN WELLBEING TAKES PRECEDENT OVER ANIMALS WHAT HE SAID WILL PLEASE HUMAN AUDIENCES. IF THERE WAS A GROWLING LION IN THE AUDIENCE HE MIGHT CHANGE HIS TUNE TO SAY ANIMALS ARE MORE IMPORTANT.
Mankind’s profligacy:
The study below suggests all the hype and expenses devoted to breeding pedigree racehorses may be deluded.
Horseracing worldwide is a major industry involving many people and facilities (racetracks) that impact on the environment.
In the same way, many sports eg soccer, American football, formula one involves a lot of people and facilities and people drive and fly many miles just to watch these events and its stars are paid ‘outrageous’ amounts.
Before you have reined in all these excesses that the earth has to sustain, you have the gall to say mankind’s wellbeing must take precedence over that of animals and plants as far as environmental care is concerned.
How many skyscrapers are truly essential? How many people truly need so many homes, even holiday villas far away just so they can go holiday in privacy?
If you examine people’s driving and eating habits, how much of their driving and consumption is essential? Do people need to sit in their cars in air conditioned comfort as they await their wives shopping at markets? Are you responsible when you pump out the heat from your bedrooms and living rooms to heat up the outsides with your air conditioners?
Do you need to drink all the beers and alcohol to survive in this world? Yet the liquor and beverage industry is a major industry from manufacture to transport to dispensing in pubs and supermarkets.
ALL THE EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT MANKIND FROM BIG TO SMALL ARE LIVING IRRESPONSIBLY, WITHOUT REGARD FOR WHAT THE EARTH AND ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT MUST COME WITH THE PRECONDITION THAT HUMAN WELLBEING TAKES PRECEDENT TO ANIMAL AND PLANT WELLBEING IS ADVOCATING CONTINUED SELFISHNESS AND A CONTEXT THAT DOES NOT APPLY AND HAS NO POSSIBILITY OF APPLYING.
SHOULD ENVIRONMENT DISASTER OCCUR, MANKIND IS LARGELY IF NOT ENTIRELY TO BLAME, MANY DO NOT REALIZE THEY ARE HEADED FOR A CLIFF DOWN WHICH THEY MUST PLUNGE INTO AN ABYSS WHOSE INTENSITY AND DURATION OF SUFFERING EXTENDS WAY BEYOND WHAT THEY IMAGINE IS POSSIBLE.
Racehorse winning secret revealed
| Breeders are prepared to spend vast sums on trusted stallions |
The offspring of expensive stallions owe their success more to how they are reared, trained and ridden than good genes, a study has found.
Only 10% of a horse's lifetime winnings can be attributed to their bloodline, research in Biology Letters shows.
Edinburgh scientists compared the stud fees, winnings and earnings of more than 4,000 racehorses since 1922.
They found that the vast sums breeders are prepared to pay for top stallions do not guarantee the best genes.
The research was carried out by evolutionary biologists Alastair Wilson and Andrew Rambaut at the University of Edinburgh.
| There are good genes out there to be bought but they don't necessarily come with the highest price tag Dr Alastair Wilson |
They found that while there was genetic variance in the quality of stallions at stud, this was not reflected in the size of the horse's stud fee.
"There are good genes out there to be bought but they don't necessarily come with the highest price tag," Dr Alastair Wilson told the BBC News website.
"It seems much more likely that people who can afford to pay high stud fees can also afford to manage and train their horses well."
The offspring of expensive stallions did tend to win more over their lifetime, he said, but genes played only a small role.
By far the biggest factor was the horse's environment - the way they were trained, the choice of races entered and which jockeys were employed, Dr Wilson added.
The findings may have parallels in the natural world, he added, in how signals of male genetic quality - such as the size and shape of a peacock's tail - are used by females to select a mate.
In this context, where the breeder was selecting the horse, fees paid for a stallion were not an honest signal of genetic quality, the researchers said.
Full details of the research are published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters.
