BlogActionDay 2008
BrainJustice dimming poverty? Get twice the world for half a price?
A glimpse at some roots of poverty.
This BlogActionDay will make a difference. Why?
That's exactly where 'the brain' comes in. With this question: "Why". Who is responsible for our brains? Who feels responsible?
Morning, 2008 October 15th. Writing for BlogActionDay. Not online yet.In the thinking about our thinking, in directing 'microscopes' & 'telescopes' into the clouds of WolkenKuckucksHeim (CloudCockooLand) one quickly comes down from the elaborated heavens to a kind of devastated earth.
Photo made by one of my daughters who's working in Africa.Spiritually said: "Heaven and Earth are not in harmony". The thinking expresses itself in one way, the practical doings in another. The left hand doesn't know (or doesn't want to know) what the right hand does. (One might argue the left brain side via the right brain side :). All in all, if you are experienced in the receipts of the Holy Books, you see a not at all 'new' phenomenon.
WATER, precious water.Multiplication shouldn't equal robbery or theft, multiplication should be growth. Growth is gained by having everyone participate in the fruits of multiplication, which combines the efforts of work AND sharing.
The disappointment in the years after the Millenium, the outbreak of new-old irrationality, just show the truths of the ancient philosophy or 'psychology' of the heart. The concept and model of the heart which is usually seen upon as being 'religious, irrational and unscientific.
BoneHunters welcome.Looking at the terms of the 'heart model' we find words like 'greed', 'selfishness' etc. which have been kind of extinguished out of modern days 'brain models'. And a modern heart theory isn't there either. Omg. a heart, what should that be? Modern scientific theories (with some of them quite often claiming this unbelievabe thing: 'objectivity') have left a lot of people alone. Left to a not-understanding of themselves, of others of the situations they are in. Left to be cattle for the media slaughterbanks.
When misconcepions lead, the relations of things get foggy and make one forget, that doing one thing at one place effects someone or something else at another place, even far away.
As Norbert Elias pointed out, the chains of interactions have grown longer, over the centuries. And they still grow longer, effecting all the little things of our daily lifes. Like a monster or an angel or what ever, maybe a spirit that reaches out with it's sticky fingers from a desk somewhere, maybe in some great city (or for some close to the Himalaya) towards the 'ends of the earth to get everything under it's control with the main purpose to become the greatest god-alike top notch monster or angel or whatever.
An ugly picture?Where are the pictures of the Saints? Are there Saints? Who were the unselfish people helping others sacrificing their own lifes? Why aren't there any pictures of 'Saints' in our living rooms? Or were all Saints just religious fanatics responsible for all wars on earth and each and every cruelty filled up with blind and dumb stupidity?
'Climate change' has been upsetting peoples minds in pro and contra. There is one thing for sure, a material parallel to the dimming of the mind, it is the so called 'global dimming'. 'Global dimming' is not to be equalized with the 'global climate change' phenmenon.
9/11 (Nine-eleven) brought some things to the light: The new Millenium wouldn't bring a new 'golden peaceful age'. No. Just the same old violent ways that we know from all the past wars. Nothing new. We just continue. But 9/11 also made the discovery of a phenomenon possible which is called 'dimming'.
Dimming ...To put the clue in one sentence: The output at one part of the earth, has a direct effect on another part or parts on our earth. There is a
video on Global Dimming (60 minutes) on this subject through which you can gain some further information. It can explain for example, why there's so much poverty in certain parts of Africa.. The point is: Everybody is effecting everybody.
Everybody is effecting everybody.Each and everyones production- as well as consumption 'habits' or 'conditions' spread an influence over all the earth, to other people.
What the mentioned video above doesn't say (and that's what I'm here for):
Each and everyones suffering of neglect is also a part, is caused by our own spirituality. Because each and everyone is more or less responsible for each and everyone on earth. This fact cannot be sensed by everybody. A lot of outstanding personalities of the public life can feel this, know this, and stand up for the poor and neglected.
Flowers at a junkyard (Europe).What is this feeling or this perception alike?
It is the feeling of being responsible for others, being responsible for the condition of the world. There is this term 'WeltSchmerz' meaning something like WorldAche, it is a heart ache a pain of the soul caused by the knowledge of people suffering, being in pain. This feeling doesn't 'taste' very good, it demands action, to care for others. It's not necessarily a matter of guilt but of empathy, of being conscious of the interconnection of all living beings (goes for animals too).
Palyda and TishaOne day, one will pay.
Sorry to say. There's nothing for free. Everything's got its price and all objects that aren't 'things' have their price too.
You can make something out of nothing if you work on it. It's easier to make nothing out of something, to destroy ...
Of course you know all this.
Sacrifice ... Someone has to pay, someone paid the bills, someone will pay or he/she doesn't know that he/she will have to pay ... one day. It's honest to say, that there's nothing for free. Pulling someone over the table will make one pay ... one day.
Looking for buyers ...Any services, lifestyles, enterprises, religious or similar groups that have these 'free' offers will make you pay the harder. And they themselves will have to pay too.
There's no getting away.
Why? Because 'they' give a credit, that one didn't earn yet. Thats how one gets obligated. Actually all one gets, is a promise, a big shining beautiful looking promise that is hypnotizing and attracting.

Photos are made by my
children and me.
The butterfly is exactly in the middle of the photo.
"It has been said ..." hm, I always liked to mock about the chaos theory, however a lot depends on the perspectives ... Nevertheless in taking daily walks and looking to the ground, the floor seems to be a perfect chaos of dying leaves. Or maybe I have misunderstood something :)
As I said above, the reason for this post was the message from Hicham, a fellow blogger and friend from Cairo-Egypt, that I'd gotten the 'butterfly award' which afterwards (of course :) led to some reasoning about the activity of blogging itself as well as to some other inspiring, uplifting and encouraging aspects.
The Blogger as a butterfly, you saw it in the first photo above: the butterfly wasn't easy to discover. The resting butterfly (just a blog in itself) can sometimes hardly be seen, one has to search for it and has to know what he/she is searching for.
Much more easily we can see the butterflies when they flatter around from flower to flower (leaving comments and thus also meaning referring to itself, but also giving feedback and seeds to the visited flowers (also blogs). So this is the picture of the blogger as a butterfly and blogs as being flowers.
Another thing that immediately presses into my mind (this seems to come from educational brainwashing :) in connection to butterflies is the so called butterfly effect.
The butterfly effect which is spiritually at home in the chaos-theory sais something like: "If a butterfly claps its wings in one part of the earth, then something else happens in another part of the earth. Or so.
The butterfly is a symbol of: change transformation resurrection the soul ... more to butterfly-symbolism.
You'll find some links here that have more elaborated words than mine. So what the butterfly effect could describe is that doings and happenings in one part of the world can have an effect or cause an event in another part of the world.
Change one thing, change everything!
Some of the pics above I cut out the Oasis video: "Stop Crying Your Heart Out". Well, hehe, we bloggers and twitters will still do that ... :)
At another blog I put a playlist about Butterfly effect videos plus a short touching story about a caterpillar. Hope you enjoyed this post. Please bookmark, stumble digg mix etc. it and again:
