I was approached the other day on the street by someone working for a humanitary organisation, Amnesty International. I saw on his folder the subject - "stop death penalty".
It's not that long ago that I ended my membership in a political organisation, so I didn't want to join as a member, but I could sign for a campaign if they had one going. They didn't have that though.
I can't remember thinking about anything or being occupied with anything particular about death penalty prior to meeting this young guy on the street.
Today however as I was checking the news, some of the prior cases internationally where that Pakistan is reintroducing death penalty again, after a temporary ban.
The other one was, Amnesty International were calling for Edward Snowden (the whistleblower) to be granted asylum, because he risks the death penalty if he is to be sent back to USA.
I'm not really affected directly by any of these news, which probably helps in seeing the observation in it. Would it have been as easy to spot if one was in the middle of experiencing it?
I thought about the incident with the guy in the street, and I guess I could have given them, Amnesty, some financial support, without being a member. He didn't directly ask for it though. And I didn't think about until today.
I also remember Eckhart Tolle pointing out the old saying "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." ...
I am more concerned with how this world works, and how I works, in order to get the best experience possible, the ulimate. I believe less and less that this world can have any lasting happiness in it. It goes up and down, and nothing seems to really get any better, just small victories and sad setbacks.
Though, last night I did have some doubt about the whole thing, thoughts came up about the whole thing being a conspiration, that Datre have a political agenda, and similar thoughts.
And I thought to myself, heh that's a long time since I've had any doubt, it's almost fascinating, and perhaps I'm correct in my thoughts or perhaps not, but I'm to tired to figure it out now, and life will probably show me what is really going on.
So I sort of let it go, and as I was watching tv at that time, almost immediately there was a reassuring observation on the screen about me not having to have any doubt. I don't know if it would make any sense for me to describe it, but I got it anyway.
Datre talks alot about creating pictures in several transcripts, I'll post a couple excerpts here:
from Datre 104:
..."JOHN: He further continues and says... "And how space-time is created from this collaboration of contrasting perspectives."
DATRE:
It is NOT, because you do not create it. You do not create those
things. You see, you think that 'you' create these things. "Space" is a
Universal perspective. There are those that are "birthed" to create
'space'. Its beyond your conception I know and that's all I can say.
You
don't create ANYTHING - you create "pictures". The "only" thing that
you create is "pictures" for you to learn by. That is what you're
supposed to be doing. That is becoming an INDIVIDUAL, is working with
your own "pictures". OBSERVING your 'own' pictures for you're own
EVOLUTION.
Now, if agreeing with 'other' people makes you comfortable - fine. But, why agree with 'other' people?
JOHN: There's no reason why you 'disagree' with other people - either way.
DATRE:
You don't have to, you don't have to agree with them, you don't have to
disagree with them - 'you' have to be 'you'. And the 'you' is NOT a
'groupie'. The 'you' is an INDIVIDUAL that is teaching him or herself,
because there isn't anyone else that can teach you. Now, you'll say,
'well we're getting teachings from Datre'. All right, if you want to
look at them that way that is fine. But I'll tell you one thing, the
words you read on
your computer screen are read by every 'individual'
that reads those words, in a very 'different' manner. Then any way you
wish to 'interpret' what is said, is entirely up to you, because how
'you' interpret it is where 'you' are in 'your' understanding at the
present time. So however your learning comes, that's fine - but learn
about yourself. Don't learn about 'other' people. Don't be concerned
about 'space'. Don't think that 'you' are
creating all of this here - you're ONLY creating the PICTURES.
Everything
on this planet is 'set' here for you to OBSERVE. Now, 'you' pick the
portion that you want to look at - and learn from 'that' portion. That's
why two people will never agree - on anything - IF they are "true" to
themselves."...
from Datre 020:
..."Now, that is what happens, there is no two upon your planet, and
you
have many many on your planet, that can perceive, see, taste, touch,
smell anything that what your picture that you put in front of you shows
you. That is why you can all eat one piece of fruit, you can all eat
one piece of meat, take one piece of meat, cut it all up in pieces and
hand it all over to everybody,
there's no two of you that will taste the same thing. There's no
two of you that will smell the same thing. That is why, when we
made the statement, and people jumped all over, "the world never
changes, only you do". That is what we were referring to. You
create your own reality, but you don't understand what your
doing. You are painting the picture, that you are existing in.
You are creating everything that is here. This is your picture."...
On another note - the other day I went for a walk, and spent almost the entire time doing I Am mantra/meditation. It's rather relaxing, especially if you go out into nature I think. At the end of the walk, my smelling the trees, flowers, everything, was improved.
I thought of making a post about it, but then something else happened, and I found something else to write about.
I never have to worry about not having anyting to write about on this blog, there is allways something happening one way or the other, even if the subject that I'm writing about is limited (or unlimited, whichever way one choose to view it).
So I hope whomever may read this are enjoying the discovery of whichever pictures you are putting in front of yourself.
Enjoy :-)
