Is there time to save the world?

[cws333one]

we all look back to see what has happened to plan for the what is going to happen, or what can happen. and through all these know one notices the moment, and really the moment is all we have. there is no yesterday, there is no tommoro, all we have is today. if a change is to be made it has to be done day by day.

Beautifully put! You speak the words i so desperately try to form, but they are lost on the tip of my tounge.

Internet is a true connector though, it binds us all together! Im curious to know what its role will be in the future..

ironically the clock went off in the background when you said the end is coming. lol. but anyways... i really think you've captured the truth about mankind and our linguistic separation in the aspect of our primal unity from eachother. our seperation from eachother is whats killing us. a few elite made themselves higher than us and its upsetting the entire world, we can finally feel it happening too.

dude i have listened to this whole thing because it is supposed to be about saving the world and all i have to say is: what the hell are you talking about? i have no idea. there is time to save the world.

A good friend of mine once quoted "Dont think less of yourself, think of yourself less" Problem is, if youve got someoneelse back, whos got yours? This requires trust among one another. Can we trust each other? I hope so. p.s Check it our dogg, 35 views, popular topic eh? Wonder how many views Britney's next single will get :)

Truth is... we accept defeat far too easily. What do we really want? Well... we want it all dont we! What can we really have? We can have it all....ermmm i dont think so. We must learn to share ourselves with each other. Everything. Equal distribution of all things. how do we achieve this? Stop being violent would be a good place to begin.

I know whats going on. Same thing that has been going on since the beginning of time. Only at a faster rate and with greater consequences. A minority of people amongst us are attempting and seemingly succeeding in making the majority feel powerless and inefficient.

I love the Voltaire quote in your description. I think we better start writing new stories, don't you? The old ones are no longer working. I agree that you can spend your life in the futile attempt to get your own idiosyncratic arguments heard. The end of this sounded like a return to Jean Gebser. Thanks for the earlier vids you did about him. I think he is wise and actually has perspective changing things to say. William Irwin Thompson's writng ABOUT him is really interesting too.

You seem to have the same thoughts as I have these days about the world. I have made some vlogs about wanting to making the world a better place and I think you're right that these are dark times. We don't know exactly what the future will hold for us and it's a good question of where do we build our foundation? I feel change needs to be done, but I'm not sure about the plan people should use to go for that goal of peace or saving the world. I'll go watch part 2. :)

Re the comments - 'Though we laud charity as a Christian virtue we know that it wounds...Refusing requital puts the act of giving outside any mutual ties. Once given, the free gift entails no further claims from the recipient. For all the ongoing commitment the free gift gesture has created, it might just as well never have happened. According to Marcel Mauss that is what is wrong with the free gift. A gift that does nothing to enhance solidarity is a contradiction.' - Mary Douglas

man i had to read that three times

and now i have to think on it....

[panickingjuggler]

you really helped me out with all those terence mckenna videos and the alan watts stuff. i was in a REALLY bad place a few weeks ago. i may go back there but at that time just to see that conversation with alan watts really made me see that someone else has seen the things i've seen and i think the problems continue because most people havn't seen that we are related to each other and everything else around us. we are one organism. i don't particularly see it now but i think i will again.

help is the last thing you need!

[panickingjuggler]

you think that people "helping" will only make matters worse?

[0ThouArtThat0]

Ever notice when small children fall, they immediately look to their parents before deciding whether or not to cry? Maybe it doesn't happen every time, but I've noticed it a lot. If the parents look concerned and rush over to help, the child of course begins to cry so as not to spoil the show!

[panickingjuggler]

i have seen that. i've been observing that in other situations too. that your approach, your expectation can immediately bring it about. so that's something i work on too. wether or not i needed that help at the time i really felt i did. to see someone else explain what you couldn't put into words is... i guess you could say life affirming. for me that was anyway.

I wanna kiss you, I've noticed that too!
