Primitive, and yet highly refined words of wisdom. I like his style, reminds me of Ganesh Baba at times. These countercultural figures really had a way of putting things into perspective. Would love to see more videos of him some time, does he perhaps have any written material? I'll have to do a search...
at first I liked this video! but how do i know this man isn't completely insane? like Buddha once (apparently) said - Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. so basically................fuck it
@kfunkdeluxe I think what Buddha was trying to say is, don't trust anything anyone says, but if you trust his words then you already disregarded his words, if you don't believe his words then you're believing his words because you just did exactly what he said. Do you see where this is going.
What this man is saying is things progress, everything starts, changes, and once it cannot change any further it ends. Humans refuse to change, we thinks its crazy, because thats how we're mental built now
If you can't follow your own divine instincts and intelect to find the truth of things, then following the Zendik group or a spiritual-intellectual group like it is the best step for you. Personally I know all that Zendik teaches already, Ezra Pound knew it, various historical persons have known this. We all mutate, we must mutate to evolve in cosciousness. If you never have an original realisation of what Zendik calls the 'bullshit' then you will never 'be awake'.
I still have a zendik cd I purchased at lallopolooza 1996. I was into them then, I was disappointed by the cult standerd, but I did and do agree with this philosophy. In the 90s it was difficult to get access to this kind of information and wisdom. I struggled but I got through.
The affected population knew about it, of course, but they had no political power, no voice. As they diminished in number, they became increasingly less important, which seemed to validate what was happening. How could they be important if they were gone?
Even the people who were distanced from it, and not in danger, knew about it, but they did nothing either. Maybe they didn't believe what they heard. Maybe they felt it did not threaten them, it was too far away and too terrible. There are things too terrible to consider. If you acknowledged their reality, you would be unable to function. And where would we be, if we couldn't function?
The news has actually been coming in for decades -- from the field, from eyewitnesses, from relief organizations. We can even see the evidence ourselves -- it's happening near us, wherever we are -- but we don't believe these accounts, even our own. We don't want to, because they are too terrible to consider.
We're afraid we won't be able to function. The more tremendous a threat is, the harder it is to comprehend. As Raphael Lemkin said in 1944, ''. . . reports which slip out from behind the frontiers . . . are very often labelled as untrustworthy atrocity stories, because they are so gruesome that people simply refuse to believe
them." What we're hearing is too frightening to believe.
The evidence is still growing, and growing worse, but we're still resisting it. When the scientists grew more serious and more impassioned about the situation, when they began giving numbers, offering proof, asking
for action, we decided that we no longer believed in science. We distanced ourselves; we hoped we wouldn't be affected. The population at risk is not our population, at least not right now, so we needn't do anything right now. We might do something later. The government can do something if there's a real crisis.

What will we say to our children, and their children, when they learn about the beautiful, rich, and varied life on earth that we were privileged to know?

What kind of courage do we need, to respond to what's happening?
The premise that you cant be happy in an imperfect world is false. Strength comes from acceptace of all things right or wrong. That doesnt mean you dont see right or wrong, or feel injustice, or even forgive wrong acts. Pure acceptance accompained by willpower is the strongest force on earth, and will change the world into a spiritual place.
It was shameful, everyone agreed afterward, that no one did anything at the time. Because people knew it was happening. There were reports, early on. People saw things, near where it was happening. They knew. Later, they said they hadn't known, really; they hadn't understood the scale of it. They explained their
reasons for doing nothing. They said the government was responsible, there was nothing they could do. Certainly the government was determined to carry out its plans, and maybe people felt overwhelmed and helpless. Maybe this was a place where the curves of ignorance, courage, and survival instinct intersected,
