"wouldn't it be nice if we could kill every living thing on the planet" may
not make much sense on a conscious level to some of us but on a subconscious
action level may be exactly what some of us are doing. nuclear bombs, genetic
engineering, germ warfare, etc. there may be a connection to the foods we eat
and the militaristic reality we have created. would rather live a bambi
consciousness, than kill or be killed consciousness that leads to the arms
race we are in today. at least i experiment in that direction, knowing it may
have pitfalls and limitations, but opting for the compassionate side of the
equation and adjusting as i go. so far it feels good......aloha forest
