Isn't this just child abuse in the name of superstition?

@freedeanna

I have just returned from meetings with many Mamas. They do not show the slightest evidence of "abuse". They are highly capable and function effectively, intellectually and emotionally, with a high level of responsibility. Can you say the same about yourself and the people around you? Superstition - "an irrational belief - ie, one held in spite of evidence to the contrary". The Mamas use evidence that their work is effective. It may be you who puts belief over evidence.

@freedeanna I've just returned from meeting many Mamas. No sign of abuse - they are intellectually and emotionally strong with profound sense of responsibility. How about you and people around you? Superstition is preferring irrational belief to evidence. Mamas rely on evidence that their work is effective. We have a long way to go.

Delighted to do it

@RonHatred Yes. Younger brother asks questions. Things change. Older brother demands that things are done the old way, the way they were always done, thus maintaining the "balance" blah blah. Never considers that the ancient way had an origin. Somebody had to invent bringing kids up in the dark, it's not how humans generally evolved. It was the new way at one time. If you could stop spouting reactionary dogma for a moment and ask yourself questions you might start to learn something. :)

@freedeanna from the tongue of the younger brother himself.

abuse? id gladly give my left nut just to spend a year learning from them

@aereira We can make claims about how responsible and strong a person is. I asked a question about raising babies in the dark alone because it seems abusive and irresponsible. Within the culture the practice may be normal, and thus the individual may not feel abused or show obvious signs of it., but perhaps their similar treatment of the next generation is abusive. Does the kid get a say? Does science tell us this is a good way to raise kids? Asking these questions *is* me being responsible.

@cchatttss Yes, we gotta take care of our beautiful Kogi

The darkness serves to emphasize the sacred White Ray. The white food also collects and maximizes the energy of the White Ray.

Why is the White Ray so important? Why do the Kogi all wear white? Because the White Ray lifts the vibration of all the other Rays.
