Collectively we are close to being as out of balance as is possible, yes - hence the nuclear war threats. Real balance is needed, yes, so that means that we have a form of equality that feels good to everyone - which, I agree, will not involve factories, mass industry and militaries. It is advisible to end all habits and thus to then claim back the consciousness that has become unconscious due to the lazy presence of the habit. Do we really want to keep continuing on with our habits? I do not currently accept that 'good habits' can exist, since all habits introduce denial of some kind.

There is really no loss involved in finding balance and peace, the sacred is what must be found it is sacredness that has been lost, even from the idea of 'sacrifice'. True sacrifice is not about losing anything that is needed, it is about finding the sacred needs of the present and brining them to manifestation.

If we look at the causes involved in the exploitation of those who do physical production work by those who don't do such things - there is a spectrum involved whereby some of those who do not do such work ARE actually offering humanity valued skills and services elsewhere - yet many are not. Decentralisation is paramount in resolving these issues as it is the centralisation of power and resources that limits our collective ability to rise up to balance together, rather than struggling to get what we need and being forced to beg and plead to those holding the reigns just to be able to live on Earth at all.

By returning to the natural self that is powerful and not the false spiritual image of a meditator transcending the Earth (as if that will solve the problems on Earth - which it will not) - we open the door to new experience and a felt difference that will change the destiny of the entire planet.
