I was cleaning out my fridge and my family and I had been pretty terrible about eating leftovers, so I was throwing out a lot of spoiled food. As I was tossing it all out, I was feeling guilty for being so wasteful, but I caught myself before thinking too long.
Thanks to the Law of One, I discovered a "life hack", ie: a perfect excuse for irresponsible behavior. As I threw out dish after dish that had expired, I thanked myself on behalf of all the bacteria and flora that exists in the sewage treatment plants and in my plumbing drains for the sustenance and nourishment. As we are all one, why should I feel badly about feeding the larger biosphere with my refuse? My wasted food not only spawned life of its own, it was now going down to feed the bacteria and fishies out in the world. There is no loss in that. The only way I should feel bad is financially, and keeping lots of money is not really a huge goal in my life anyhow, so for me this was a winning development.
Anyone else have any fun 'life hacks' that the Law of One has thrown your way? I'm always down for less guilt for everyone. Enjoy! :p
Well in that frame of thinking one should not even bathe. do you realize how many life forms you murder each time you place soap on them.
And what about the skin cells that you rub off? Are they not all a part of the big hologram as some here like to put it?
In the Big Picture, much goes on that is either not realized or deliberately ignored.
I think it is an obligation of intelligence to establish priorities with regard to exact interaction and cause and effect circumstances.
Within that intelligence is a realization that each of us would be extremely lonely should we refrain from bathing or caring for our personal hygiene. Not because we have sacrificed life to achieve cleanliness, but because through cleanliness we achieve intimacy with others of higher being.
We could allow ourselves to live alone in a cave with our bacteria and our little skin creatures that feed off of us in total disregard for our life form.
Or we can exist as higher forms and care for our form in a way that enables us to dwell with others like ourselves.
I think intelligence is key here.
If the lower forms such as bacteria did evolve into higher being, I would suppose that such evolution would include an increase in intelligence which would supersede any obligation to their lower forms.
Having said that, it is extremely curious that I have just posted a thread called Ascended Ones, and in that post we would be discussing this exact matter from the other way around.
Are we not lower forms to them?
What if they regarded us in the way that we regard our lower forms?
Is it that with the increase in intelligence also comes the realization that awareness of self is also key to interaction and communication?
Much to think about!
