9/12   THE BUSINESS WORLD TODAY IN FRONT OF THE SPIRITUALITY

When the religious had the power, the authority and behaved according to Jesus' teachings, the demonstration of the survival instincts in the popular masses was contained, so the violence was contained.

These religious were capable to teach the respect of the other, of the parents, of the aged people, of the teachers, the manners of good conduct, in short  the moral.

Henceforth the power is detained by many politicians who favor laxity and who allow the violence to indirectly happen.

Elections oblige, they run after all ballot papers, without exception.

************

The sensitive souls are absolutely right to worry about the humans in difficulty, and God knows that  they are numerous on this planet ! 

And yet it would be sufficient of not much to help them !

The techniques, the technologies exist today that would permit to relieve this misery considerably, if they were used everywhere on this earth.

Is only missing a goodwill of the leaders and decision-makers of the western countries.

This is also missing among the leaders and decision-makers of the undeveloped countries, who are unable to abandon their retrograde traditions and are unable to give to their peoples a serious and advanced education.

Is missing, for all these interlocutors, a level of conscience that would allow them to take into account the interests of the others, and especially to become liberated from the money power by using it like a means and not like an objective.

They should also be able to get rid of the feeling that thay have to dominate the others, because they believe that they are superior to them.

************

One can note that the western world converges more and more toward the research of solely bodily pleasures.

It is in Europe and in America that we find a decrease of the religious observance and that the interest for the materialism, that is the pleasures of the bodily senses, or the listening to the sirens' songs of the sects, is increasing in the life of every day.

In theory the business is necessary to the advancement of the humanity. By its creations and machines, it brings less material worries, a better health, more of free time of which a part should be dedicated to the spirituality and to the mutual aid.

In reality, currently, the exaggeration of the Business activity, that is to say the archi-competitive and amoral Wild Business activity, has for consequences :

                                                  => the pollution of mentalities.

                                                  => the pollution of the nature.

                                                  => the pollution of our health.

The Wild Business activity succeeded, beyond all hope, to condition many individuals so that they consume unconsciously, more and more, without worrying about the utility of these purchases nor, and especially, of the damages caused to our environment.

The adepts of the wild business activity have for creed to take advantage of the present, intensely and by all means, without worrying about the state of the planet that they will bequeath to their progeny.

Examples: (non exhaustive list)

Christmas: the night of December 24 represents the Christ's birth.

New year: it is the beginning of the new year in the Christian world.

In the beginning of Christianity the religious prelates decided to count the beginning of the years, not while using the cycle of the seasons, but while using the date supposed of the Christ's birth.

December 24, that wanted to be a religious feast based on the devotion at the beginning of Christianity, has evolved therefore with time.

Now the business has taken this into account , December 24 turned slowly from devout religious feast to having a food blowout and many gifts to the children. The turkeys and the firs are the main victims.

Business demands it, Jesus Christ and his teaching is replaced henceforth by a chimera named Santa Claus.

The night of December 31 is the opportunity to make the feast to all price and also to spend money to offer some gifts that, often useless, land to the bottom of a drawer.

Halloween : consists in taking an old Celtic tradition based on the human sacrifice and the racketeering, and to bring it back to the fashion in order to sell useless objects.

Meat to the hormones : Its traffic is not forbidden outside of the European Community. USA, Australia, Canada, Argentina, New Zealand can raise their livestock and can export in all impunity on our markets. And this happen in spite of the interdiction of the countries of the European union to fatten livestock with hormones of growth. The sanitary precaution principle that began to prevail concerning public health annuls itself by the lure of profit, this in spite of the increase of the dependent hormonal cancers.

OGM cereals: - idem -   Animal Flours: to see the consequences on the bovine and the humans.

People of no fixed abode.   One calls them as vagabond, beggars, tramps.

They have the fixed stare of those that lost everything, even the desire to live, who don't have any hope in a better life and are content with surviving.

And yet they are as you and me, they also suffer from the cold weather, of the humidity, they also have a stomach and are obliged to put something in it every day.

Among these people of non fixed abode a weak percentage of individuals that deliberately chose this way of life exists.

But now, these people are the victims of a system which propagates itself more and more on this earth : the Business at any price.

The shareholders are never satiated. They ask more and more money from back on investment, this in more and more short delays.

To cope, the directors of enterprises optimize to the maximum, they robotisent to the maximum or move the manufacturing of their products in the emerging countries, where the wages are very low. It results therefore in layoffs at home and of the jobs at home.

It is the principle of the connected vessels. The misfortune of some countries makes the happiness of some other countries.

After the layoff, it is unemployment, then the end of the government suppot financially, then the impossibility to rent an accomodation and it is the eviction order.

And, when one cannot justify a permanent residence anymore, the research of an employment becomes very complicated.

Sport : The American Football players have to use specific doping products, in order to be more efficient (it is mandatory to win at all price). As a consequence, many of them have a life expectancy that doesn't pass the fifty years.

In Europe, one pays monthly until five hundred thousand euro of the soccer players, so that these make dream their supporters, of which many have a very low salary, and of which some don't hesitate to fight against the supporters of the other clubs.

Beneficence : to see the scandal of the French private institute for research on the cancer, collecting money for this purpose, but with a comfortable percentage going directly in the director's pocket .

What global environment will we deliver to our descendants?

On this subject, the doctor Jacques Desmeules made a list,  in the magazine "the Antivivisection n°147, 4th quarter 2000".

"... How will the new generations be able to manage this terrifying inheritance, to stop the devastations and to throw back life, before the point of no return ?

The list is terrifying !

* The deforestation, consistent of the desertification then of the erosion of the arable soils of whole continents. Inhabitants driven back therefore to misery, to the famine, to the migration... who threatens the prosperous countries.

* The agro-chemical pollution of all good fertile and healthy agricultural earths to the origin, subject to the intense productivity.

* The cumulative poisoning of the oceans and seas, last catchment basin of the pollutants, by the chemical, nuclear and oil trash cans, that will annihilate all life after having tortured it day after day.

* The industrial over-fishing, allowing by aerial detection and sonar, the detection of the shoals of fish, as well as by the use of gigantic nets, converges toward the world famine.

* The pollutants from the automotive and industrial activity, that are disposed of in our atmosphere, are responsible for the upsurge or the emergence of respiratory pathologies, especially with small children, and of the irreversible destruction (?) of our ozone layer, protective of all life against the UV.

* The pollutants to greenhouse effect : contributing or bringing, by the over-warming to the climate, to the melting of the glacial skullcaps, to the elevation of the marine levels, to the disruption of the big regulating marine currents fundamental of our climates, and at the origin of numerous hurricanes and more and more frequent floodings, even in Europe.

* The chemical and bacteriological pollution of our rivers, streams and groundwater that water us, us and all plant and animal living cells of the life chain.

* The systematic and programmed destruction of the rurale agriculture, supposed to last for ever and conservative of the environment, committed in the years 50, in order to substitute it a mining agriculture methodically, with the support of the finance and the chemistry, provoking the ruin of arable soils, but temporarily highly productive of food poisons, sources of pathologies in chain, costing some billions to the Health Care, but supermarket products, inexpensive, permitting to feed quantitatively and to the best account an inexpensive manpower stacked in the megapolis casernicoles, environment which is conducive to crime and without hope.

* The population explosion, or demographic bomb of which one cannot measure the devastating effects, even medium-term : migratory movements, civil wars, ideological or pseudo-religious wars, or simply survival ?

* The impotence of the international big ecological conferences, thankful the right to the pollution and to the quotation in Stock market of "negotiable credits of pollution."   Satan leads the dance !

Then we have a terrifying equation of the nième degree: Rio + Kyoto + The Hague + Lyons = nil"

In the following verses the New Testament warns us about the flesh, that is to say against the excesses of behavior of those that encourage the desires of survival instinctive of the human body (the flesh) to the detriment of their soul :

1Timothy 3-16 / / / Hebrews 2-14 to 15 / / / Jacques 5-3 / / / 1Peter 3-18 to 22 ///

2Peter 2-18 / / / Philippiens 3-3 / / / John 3-4 to 8 / / / Romans 7-14 to 26; 8-5 to 8; 13-13 to 14 / / / 1Corinthians 1-26 ///

Gallatin 6-8 / / / Éphésiens 2-3 to 5.

Romans 8-5to8 : « For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit. For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace, because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.»

In other words, the individual who is interested only in his body, that only encourages the satisfaction of his survival instincts and who doesn't worry of the salute of his soul, this individual can expect a very negative karma, for himself karma for which he will have to pay some day.

Mahatma Gandhi : « Life without religion is a life without principle, and a life without principle is like a boat without rudder.»

Albert Einstein : « The science without the religion is limping. The religion without the science is blind.»

André Siegfried : « The science that has become technical is risking to compromise an old notion of the knowledge, because the knowledge stops being unselfish to become utilitarian. If the individual is put to the service of the production, he becomes a means instead of being a goal.»

Chinese proverb : « To pretend to satisfy our desires by the possession, it is to expect that one will choke a fire with straw. "

We are in the process of leaving the Fishes era, the humanity will soon enter the Aquarius era that will mark the passage of the religious to the spiritual, of the belief to the knowledge, and we attend, slowly but surely, to the beginnings of Christianity and at the end of the Catholicism in its present shape (that is to say that there will be a major evolution bringing the progressive disappearance of the rituals and dogmas.)

( Interest yourselves to the Prophecy of Saint Malachie.)

In spite of a revengeful resistance of the adepts of the Wild Business and of the barbarism, you will be able to observe that henceforth our world goes toward the intensification of behaviors as they can be found in Jesus' teachings, by the apparition of the NGO, of the embryo of an international court ot justice, of the right of interference in the business of totalitarian states, of the soldiers blue helmets bringing the peace and no the war, of the organisms of defense and protection of the animals, of the environmentalists, of the activities and closeness on both sides of the borders, of dictators judged outside of their country, more and more people fighting against the barbarism of the slaughterhouses by their conversion to vegetarianism, of a lot of sects that are dawning, their members refuting the message fundamentalist of some official religions and searching for, often clumsily, an institution practicing this Universal Love.

Would the Parousie be for soon ?

The human kind, turned toward the materialistic enjoyment, has the need of it well.

Parousie: "Second advent of the Christ, triumphant and in Glory."

Raoul Follereau: "Since two millenniums the calculation of the Christian time exists. When do we will begin to be Christian ? "

Albert Schweitzer: "Until now the big gap of ethics is the belief to face only the man's relation toward the humans beings, but in reality, it is about the attitude with regard to the Universe and all the living creatures. The man is only moral when Life in himself, the one of the plant and the animal as well as the one of the humans is sacred to him, and that he endeavors to help, as far as possible, all life being in distress."

André Malraux: "The XXI'th century will be spiritual, or won't be. "

Joseph Goodowage : "It seems that the reign of the materialism reaches its end. It didn't generate something valid but frustration, hate, the wars and the social struggles. Its objective is empty and insane, it is a dead end for the humanity. We must admit the existence of a new evidence, of which all points converge infallibly toward the sublime unit and the universal interdependence in the nature."

S. Arroyo : Numerous people understand today that the materialistic science doesn't satisfy the man's deep needs, in spite of the comfort and the well-being that it brings to the body and the pride that the intellect gets from it. We reached a stage where the man seems to  know everything and to understand nothing."

MEDIAS

The representatives of the medias have for mission to relate real facts only, without taking party for or against these facts.

It is not always easy.

Working so, morality and spirituality are not taken into account and the temptation is big to report only  what goes badly, as well as the shocking and amoral behaviors, since it is what sells best.

The medias have a big responsibility as indirectly concerning the conditioning of the intellect of their readers or listeners, therefore their future behavior, while encouraging some snobby fashions, some points of views of influential people, for example or while encouraging traditional customs based on the cruelty.

And it is reasonable to think that they also have a responsibility with regard to the advancement or the decline of the civilization in their sphere of influence.

Facing barbarism, the directors of these medias have the choice between the two following possibilities :

* To use their media to continue to relate the cruel events obligingly,

  ( bullfighting for example) this in order to make money with the barbarism and also to nourish the

  fantasies of their readers, spectators, listeners, with no consideration of moral, therefore of

  civilization,

* To use it to work to make advance the civilization in their country while reorienting their behavior by introducing more of articles taking into account the moral, that is to say of education, of debates, of positive explanations.

However, to fight the amoral materialism, as well as the bad traditions, is something of extremely difficult and, besides, this is misunderstood by a big part of the population wo needs his daily ration of slaughters, robberies, rapes, etc... to persuade themselves that they exists and that they stand to the good side of the law.

Curiously, several Catholic magazines have each for editor-in-chief a person who likes, who praises and recommend in his writings the spectacles of Spanish bullfight ending by the killing of the bull !

Let me quote one among them: « I prefer the death between shade and sun of a bull as outlet to the violence and to the madness of the men, to the one, even more barbaric, of a man to the war, on the road or one without shelter, victim of the indifference of the world... The bullfight... brings a fever, the exhilaration and the mysterious emotional trouble...  generated by the bullfighting... As you never attended a bullfight, I cannot explain you why, personally, I have a great passion for the bullfight art that moves me to tears. »

This individual is not able to understand that this "mysterious emotional trouble" is only the satisfaction of his sadistic enjoyment caused by the suffering and the death of the bull.

Confucius :

« Speaking of the extraordinary things, it is to excite the men  not to follow the plain rules. »

« Speaking of acts of audacity and violence, it is to weaken in the men the feelings of sweetness.»

« Speaking of resistance to the laws or to the authority, it is to carry the men to violate the justice. »

« Speaking of the minds, it is to scramble the ideas of those that listen.»

************

THE POLITICS

The people who enter the politics world make it to satisfy a strong and selfish ambition need.

Let's see what the dictionary teaches us :

Ambition : "Immoderate desire of glory, of fortune, of honors, of power, etc... "

Politics : « The art or science of government. The art or science concerned with guiding or influencing governmental policy. The art or science concerned with winning and holding control over a government.»

A politician with an elevated conscience level has, of this fact, the possibility to decrease and even to cancel the negative sides of his personal ambition. This is inducing an attitude of help to people in the need because his instinct of personal vanity is under control.

This attitude is unfortunately a minority among the politicians, and the analysis of the behavior of some of them allows to understand that the politics is especially the art and the manner to use some artifices, very often immoral, in the goal to impose his will and his points of views to the working classes.

It is also the art and the manner to harm to the maximum to his adversaries, in not hesitating to use the lie and the denouncement, if it is not anymore, this being the consequence of the influence of the ambition, of the pretension, of the arrogance, very present among some politicians.

Georges Clémenceau: "In politics one succeeds fools and one is replaced by incompetent persons."

Louis Veuillot: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity ! Vain, fatal words even, since they became political ; because the politics made three lies of them. "

The broadcasts televised of the sessions of the French National assembly are especially edifying.

They only show individuals who hurl abuse at each other, who are inveighing and mocking, who are criticizing , who are quibbling and contesting, etc, but absolutely not trying to have a positive attitude in order to solve the french problems, for the benefit  of all the inhabitants.

The honest politician is therefore highly disavantaged when facing up to amoral opponents.

The politics is only an attempt to institute dictatorship by desire to impose to the masses one's personal point of view or the one of a politic or religious party. The democracy and its obligations, consequence of a positive evolution of the civilization of a country, must be taken into account by the politicians, what slows down their actions and stands.

But a big desire to obtain power, associated to a weak level of conscience, brings the corruption automatically.

The ambitious politician is incapable to understand that it is solely while trying to raise the level of conscience of the masses that he will be able to improve the civilization in his country, and so to decrease the violence and the cheatings.

On the contrary, he puts his intelligence to the service of his instinctive ambition, in order to get the power at any price, and to control these masses by imposing them his personal views. This is how dictatorships appear.

Unfortunately, a lot of elected representatives are entering the politics world, not in order to help their neighbor charitably, but to nourish their selfish tendency for the ambition, the power, and even the despotism.

A weakness exists in the democracy that makes that when two important political strengths are opposed during the elections with practically the same score, each one of these strengths try to ally with small parties, parties without serious projects, or then with corporatist projects, or recreational doubtful (Hunters, aficionados of bullfight, etc...), in order to win the elections. The result is that these small parties are capable, in return for their votes, to impose by contract with the government of orientations whose morals is very often absent.

Do you think that the concessions made by the French government to the slaughterers of bulls in the arenas, to the killers of turtledoves passing by during their migration, to the name of the "tradition",  etc (French political party "Hunt, Fishing, Nature and Traditions) will permit  France to see his level of civilization evolving positively ?

Alexis Carel : "The democratic principle contributed to the decline of the civilization while preventing the development of the elite. "

G. Le Bon : "The true democratic progress is not to lower the elite to the crowd's level, but to raise the crowd toward the elite. "

As soon as the politicians in charge of responsibilities in a government decide to ignore or to fight the spirituality (the moral) it is their country as a whole that undergoes the ineluctable consequences of karma.

The USSR had this attitude in the past ; observe in what dilapidated state is today his different components !

 THE DEMOCRACY

******************************************************************************************

Montesquieu Of the mind of the laws 1748

OF THE PRINCIPLE OF THE DEMOCRACY

A lot of integrity is not necessary, so that a monarchical government or a despotic government maintain themselves or sustain themselves. The strength of the laws in the first, the arm of the prince being always raised in the other, settles or contains all. But, in a popular State, an additional component is necessary that is called the VIRTUE.

What I say is confirmed by the whole body of history, and is very in conformity with the nature of the things. Because it is clear that, in a monarchy, where the one who is in charge of applying the laws, judges himself as above the laws, one needs less virtue that in a popular government, where the one that makes execute the laws understands that himself is submitted to these laws, and that he will carry the weight of this.

It is again clear that the monarch that, by bad advice or by carelessness, stops he execution of the laws, can easely fix this problem ; he only has to change his counsil, or he has to correct himself of this very carelessness. But when, in a popular government, the laws stop being executed, as this can only come from the corruption of the republic, the State is already in big trouble.

It was a beautiful spectacle in the past century, to see the powerless efforts of the English to try to establish the democracy among them. Because those that were involved in this process didn't have any virtue, because their ambition was irritated by the success of the one that dared the most, that the mind of a faction was only repressed by the mind of another, the government constantly changed : the astonished people looked for the democracy, and found it nowhere.

Finally, after a lot of movements, that is to say shocks and jolts, the people had no choice as to rely on the government that one had proscribed.

When Sylla wanted to restore the liberty to Rome, she was not able to receive more of it ; she only had a weak rest of virtue : and as she had less and less of it, instead of waking up after Caesar, Tibère, Caïus, Claude, Néron, Domitien, she was  and more the slave ; all strokes were aiming at the tyrants but none on the tyranny.

The Greek politicians, that lived in the popular government, didn't recognize an other strength that could sustain it, that the one of the virtue.

Those of today only speak to us of factories, of trade, of finances, of wealths, and even of luxury goods industry.

When this virtue stops, the ambition enters in the hearts that can receive it, and the greed enters in all.

The desires are changing of objects : what one liked, one doesn't like it anymore.

One was free with the laws, one wants to be free against them.

Every citizen is like a slave escaped from his master's house.

What was maxim, one calls it rigor; what was rule, one calls it hindrance; what was attention, one calls it fear.

It is the frugality that is the greed, and not the desire to have.

In the past, the individual's property made the public treasure ; but for now, the public treasure becomes the patrimony of the individuals.

Republic is diminished and his strength is only the power of some citizens, and the license of all.

******************************************************************************************

Virtue: "Constant disposition that carries to make the good and to avoid the pain."

************ 

The Montesquieu text very clearly explains the theory of what that must be a good democracy.

But what is happening in the practice, in the reality ?

The western world topples more and more in the research of the material pleasures (satisfaction exaggerated coming from the requirements asked by the instincts of survival of the physical body.)

This is to the detriment of the moral and the virtue, qualities that are to be taught by the religions and no by the politicians.

The French Revolution happened, the power of the religions of Christian obedience is decreasing a lot in France, but on the other hand the Islam hardliners settle back gradually, of which some members ignore the democracy superbly and that look for to impose by strength and the ruse a manner to live coercive rather, where the human rights and especially the woman's rights are not respected.

And today's politicians, without virtue and without moral can make only of the very bad democracy, blemished by the electoral lies, the schemings, the cheatings, the systematic and non founded calumnies to the destination of their adversaries, the hunt to the amoral or incompetent electoral ballots whatever they come from :

( hunters, aficionados of barbaric bullfights, cockfight adepts, professional lazy persons, old people in the hospices), etc...

Socrates: "The morality is the application of the virtue and the virtue is the respect of the things and beings."
