Depends what is meant by 'raising consciousness'. If it means some bliss-fest apathetic posture then to me it is phony, and ultra selfishness masquerading as selflessness. ...

you admit you don't know what is meant but instead of asking go off on a rant, piling up nasty implications ...

I hope you aren't really as angry and scared (much of the time), as many as of your posts sound.

seems to me that you project maybe something you wont recognize in yourself onto me? I cannot see how you would come up with all that personal sht attack from what I typed in the quote? Is that supposed to be not anger in your book?

It's been long known that a handful of elites own most of the corporations, important land/resources and world power governments. That is easily demonstratable, conspiracy nuts need not apply. These people are not necessarily smart nor evil. They are just everyday fuckups, most likely. Their short-sighted interest lies in their quest for wealth and power because of their undeveloped emotional and spiritual lives. They don't care at what cost their power and wealth comes to the human race, they are quite happy to bankroll both sides of a war for example. They also profit off of conflict NOT being resolved, essentially cashing in on human misery. That is "they".

The climate is the only thing they influence with their power that really matters to the long-term integrity of our species. Everything else is imaginary. So take all the money, we still have God, and you are the one that is in spiritual poverty, "...and you are poverty." (The Gospel of Thomas)

But if we rape this paradise into dirt and dust, we will vanish with it, and then the paradise will return, and a new intelligent species will perhaps return. But this is our story, this our time, and we are immaculate, and we ought to stick around and dream God's dream...

...for the hell of it.

OK that's nice.  It all looks official, should I be impressed?  Are you a doctor too?  Do you want to psycho anal ize me because you got some degree from some second rate university but that made it official?  Are you an officer?  I am kind of busy, could you sum up your UN agenda in a few paragraphs?
