Oneness The basic premises of any political system, be it capitalist, socialist or whatever, are fundamentally flawed as they are all based on the idea of limitless resources. Domestic product, wealth and so on cannot keep growing indefinitely. Yet this is what we are promised by politicians and is touted as the solution to our 'problems'. War and poverty exist, though, because those in power see resources as being scarce. Resources are something to be fought for, and the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. This situation is continued by the promotion of the 'us vs them' mentality, amongst other things. The fact is, neither viewpoint is accurate. While resources are not infinite, there is no scarcity. Scarcity is something that is manufactured by a consumer economy to give so-called 'value'. Diamonds, for example, are not particularly rare, but the major mining companies tightly control the amount on the market. Motor vehicles could be built that are very fuel-efficient and easily last 50 years. We don't even need to have a fossil fuel-based economy; solar, wind, wave, and especially geothermal energy could provide our energy needs for thousands of years to come, safely, cleanly and renewably. This is a sustainable economy. The only 'catch' to meeting everyone's needs is the lack of a global consciousness. Nations, religions, political groups, etc. all emphasise uniqueness and separation from the rest, instead of emphasising sameness. To an an extraterrestrial, our similarities far outweigh our differences, and as a species we must seem insane as we harm ourselves with war, pollution, habitat destruction, bad food, etc. Most people gain great satisfaction from helping others, but most of the time we look at others as, well, other, instead of realising we are all one. Book of the Month: Oneness Great teachers tell us that no amount of intellectual understanding will help us realise that we are all one, and that only love can bring about this realisation. Yet author John Greven has done a pretty good job of overcoming the intellectual barrier. To quote, " This book will offer no path, no exercises, no teacher no guru, no mantra, no nothing! It is not about self-improvement, spiritual growth, or hocus-pocus. "This is about totally radical discovery. It is about seeing who you are, who you have always been, and who you will always be."

It is said that only because we desire we are unhappy. Yet without desire we would not live. There would be no movement, no desire for change. The content of your desire is a reaction to the situation in which you exist, and is partly dependent on culture and upbringing. It is the mind that gives you desire, while your body is happy to just exist. The problem is not that we have desires; not having one's desires met is the problem. However, once one desire has been met, another pops up, creating an endless chase. Furthermore, even wanting to give up desire is a desire in itself. The nature of living is that you will always have desires, therefore having desires is a given and natural part of being alive. However, it is important to realize that at every step your desire will create an illusion. This is the illusion that after your desire is fulfilled you will be happy. Therefore, the content of your desire is unimportant, though at any given moment you may think it very important. One good thing about desire is that it causes you to reach for something beyond what you have. It allows you to stretch your boundaries. Or, in other words, there is something in you that wants to be boundless. Since we are in a physical body, in order to be boundless we have to go beyond the physical. In fact, desire can be seen as part of the spiritual process as it encourages you to look for something more than your body or mind can provide. Life did not make a mistake in giving humans desire. A life without desire would be as uplifting as that of a cow in a field. Book of the Month On Desire - Why We Want What We Want William Irvine An amusing and insightful book on the nature of desire. Irvine talks about evolution, the science of desire and religion, and above all, offers some practical and amusing advice on being eccentric and 'mastering' desire. Philosophy and spirituality do not have to be serious, and this book, although sincere, is an easy read.

March 11 Earthquake

The Japanese earthquake of 11th March has brought out many great characteristics of humans; compassion, care, understanding and support. It has also brought out many other characteristics, such as sensationalism, and wanting to be part of the drama.

Thousands of people have lost their lives, tens of thousands have lost loved ones, and hundreds of thousands have lost their homes and possessions. These are the people who need our support, and the world has responded.

For others, the greatest drama was that they had to walk home or stay the night with friends. There were even people looking for connection to the tragedy by saying that they had recently been in Japan.

Media driven sensationalism has made the tragedy into entertainment, with so-called news programs containing music to evoke emotions, and hard facts hard to come by.

Some people say that the earth is 'sending us a message' and 'fighting back' against nuclear power, and that this has happened at this time and place 'to teach people a lesson'. This is projection by those who have an agenda, and dishonours the dead, those who are suffering and those who are risking their lives to ameliorate the situation.

Many others, however, have realised once again that what is important is love, family and friendship, and that the greatest possessions are in our hearts.

“Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul. ”

Sin "God loves us all, but he loves sinners more." Putting aside the question of whether there is God or not, why would this be? Sin is a concept created and defined by man, and different cultures and religions have different ideas about sin. So if sin is something 'wrong' maybe it is up to each person to decide how his/her life is 'wrong'. When we are 'on the path' or 'in the flow' we say our life is going well. When we have 'strayed' and things are not going as we would like it is as if life is throwing obstacles in our way. This is a good thing because it shows us that we are not on the path! If we did not feel pain when we put our hand in the fire, we would not know to do something else, i.e. take it out of the fire. So when life seems to be blocking our attempts to do something, this is a form of 'pain' telling us to do something else. In the TV series Star Trek, whenever the ship was approaching a dangerous situation, the captain would order a 'yellow alert' and the deflector shields would go up. If the danger increased, a red alert was issued and the weapon system brought on line. In other words, there was a response to a perceived difficulty. In our lives however, when something does not go right, we tend to dismiss it or complain about it - and then carry on as if nothing had happened, or try to force our way through. Perhaps the only 'sin' people commit is not following their own path. So when we stray, God sends a message in the form of a difficulty to help guide us back on our path. This is how God loves us all, but loves sinners more since he looks after them, which is something people on their right path do not need. Book of the Month: The 4-Hour Body While at Lifeforces we like to consider mind, body and spirit as a continuous whole, sometimes we suggest a book that focuses on only one of these areas. And how. The author, Tim Ferriss, brings together a host of techniques to lose weight, become fitter, improve ones sex life, sleep less and better, get stronger, and live longer. Wow. While this book cannot be considered a fitness bible in the standard definition, and should be read selectively, there are many interesting points and tips to living a healthier and happier life. Quote of the Month: “If there is sin against life, it consists in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.” Albert Camus
