Can We Stop the
Destruction?
by Stuart Wilde
Q: How can we stop the planet from destruction? When I read the papers or hear the news, I get the feeling that there isn't much we can do to save it. Our natural resources are being usurped and polluted, and people are starving. Is it too late?
A:
The idea that this planet is lacking in things is a concept for the brain-dead.
We've got more than we can ever cope with. The idea that it is all falling apart
is true. The ego's world is falling apart; the ego's opinion, the world ego, our
national egos are all falling apart. But our planet isn't. Our planet is fine.
Yes, we have to care for it and look after it, but it isn't about to collapse.
Every generation of people that has been on this planet has thought this was the end, because the ego cannot reconcile its own end. If it is conking out, then everything else must be conking out, too. It's that apocalyptic "end-of-the-world" idea that the ego has. It thinks, Hey if I'm dying, everyone else has to die, too. I can't be the only twit who has conked out while everybody else is having a nice time. You can see it for what it is -- nothing more than your opinions.
Get away from your opinions, don't worry about it when things contradict you, don't worry about it when you hear things you don't like, and don't worry about how it is supposed to be. Just stay focused on who you are and what you want. If you keep moving, suddenly this etheric inside of you will start to grow very quickly because you will be liberated.
