Nature is Not Touched by Thought
It was a fresh morning and the air had a cool feel to it. The lilies on the pond were in full bloom, offering their flowering to the many bugs and insects that were barely visible. The colouring on these bugs was astounding. Off in the distance the gentle rumble of thunder could be heard. All the earth seemed to be in a movement not touched by thought. It felt and responded without emotion because it was not caught in thought’s limiting hold. The earth simply provides with what it has for anyone without discrimination. It always seeks to balance itself first and then create. Man uses thought and can innovate as technology does with better tools, such as creating weapons of mass destruction. Many new innovations in technology saw their roots in war or sought to be used by the war machine. Nature’s violence with its storms and quakes is her trying to deal with the virus that man has become. In our self-interest science has become a method of corruption to suit the goals and aspiration of the rich. We rape, poison, and mold the earth to our liking through the process of thought.
Now even our relationships are based on the images created by thought as a means of psychological security. The world is becoming more and more dangerous as people hold to fundamental beliefs fueled purely by their psychological imbalance and the need to be right or sit next to a false God, innovated by there own thinking or someone else’s. Man is losing his ability to question, as we know more about the lives of others and how they will choose, as shown in the reality shows on TV. This leads us to distraction from our self-centered choices and the pain and misery of our own conditioning. People want to be okay and will take on any label to justify their selfish behavior. Psychiatrists are there ready to give them a diagnosis and excuse parents for not meeting the needs of their children or questioning them about filling their lives with all their self-centered projection. The profession of psychiatry now operates in the interest of drug companies. This is where the world is slipping into the greatest danger. Mental illness caused by chemical imbalances has now has but psychiatry as the next Gestapo. People don’t see this coming because it is like Hitler: it satisfies their self-interest in the short term.
Everything of the earth is not the creation of thinking. All of man’s thinking is limited and because we have given it the greatest importance it is the thing that got out of Pandora’s’ box. Religion, philosophy, myth, psychology, and self-help are all attempts to get thinking back into its respected place to solve technological problems. When thinking defines us our anxiety grows and we instinctively know this. Do we not become defensive or angry with anyone who threatens our belief system or image of ourselves? Is not all our anxiety the feeling of death or losing what we have identified with to cover our insecurity? This is a sure sign that thinking is at the root of our problem. So how can the root of the problem be the solution to the problem? To get thinking back into Pandora’s box, man has invented religion, philosophy, myth, yoga, astrology, psychology, and self-help. Psychiatry is the only one that is using dangerous drugs with unproven claims as a means of creating happiness. It also has been well documented that it does damage. These brain drugs can cripple the lives of people forever.

The sun breaks through the clouds and the garden takes on a whole different feel. The fish in the pond come to the surface. Their deep orange color is bright with the sun’s reflection. The wind comes and goes of its own accord; the earth is rich full and active.
