The Golden Rule for Planet Savers

Do I love the people I want to help or save? 

If I do not love them, how can I help them? I cannot help them if I don't love them. 

Because if I don't love them I won't be able to forgive them for taking the bread that I've given them.

So if I want to help people or save the world in any way whatsoever the first thing I have to be able to do, is to love them. 

And if I don't love them, there is no point in trying to help them because I will not be able to forgive them for taking the bread.

You see, I am in the habit of using wealth, as in 'bread', as a poor substitute for love. I will give wealth, imagining it is love.

So the tendency will be for me to resent them or worse, exploit them, without being consciously aware of that action. 

I will resent them taking the bread, because it is earned and owned. If I have not managed to love them, if they take it, I will resent them for it. Or I will find a way to exploit them to get payback. 

But love has no concept of ownership or earnings, that constitutes, economic wealth. I've created the illusion that wealth is love, as an escape so that I can Be Seen as loving, without having to actually love. I want to Be Seen, to help, more than I want to love.

And this cannot in this universe, work.It can only reinforce a pathology. It can only contribute to the gradual crushing of that society. If, my activity is the general case among the people on the whole.

Reams of ideologies will crop up, some of them becoming permanent, with fancy ways of solving this imaginary problem. The left and the right are two basket cases in totality.

Can I see how charity, empathy, human rights have never worked in a thousand years? It's a wonder that I've never looked into this more authentically. Maybe theres a resistance. Maybe my ignorance is deliberate. Maybe at the bottom of it all, I am simply too selfish.

So I ask myself when I'm trying to save the world or the planet in any way whatsoever, I ask myself, do I love the people or the thing I'm trying to save - do I love them?

There's no reward for loving others. It's expected of me, as a first duty. There is no payback for love. Do I seriously think I should get a reward for giving love? That sounds like a contract, an exchange for profit. Will I be able to do it though - will I be able to love them prior to their saving?

And if I can't do it, if I cannot love them then, then I cannot help them. I may try. It will fail and cause them more harm in the end through my subsequent resentment and exploitation of them, for taking the bread. 

Before any of this though, I must look in the mirror and ask "can I love myself?" If I cannot love myself, so that I'm able to help myself, how can I possibly in this universe love and then help others?

All of this does not mean to say that I should abandon trying to help people. What it means is that I should start trying to love people first.

It's possible I may never succeed. That is OK. That I have tried at all is what matters. That I have tried at all, to love those I wish to save, before I try to save them. 

Starting with me. This is the Golden Rule - to love others, as I do myself. It is not to love others before myself. It is to love myself and others before I try to save them. 

Some people say "even the sinner can enter the kingdom on the day they die, so long as they repent". This is the wrong meaning. It means I can repent IMMEDIATELY, and enter. I do not need to wait and if I do...that gives my thought the opportunity to 'escape' - the chance to help first and maybe love later, and probably neither at all. A terrible mistake.

So I know if I can love others immediately, I will be saved.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...
