What makes them to be not consciously aware of that ? It is often worth to turn around the question...For example it is difficult to find an answer to "How to prevent war`s ?" if you turn the question into "Who does benefit from a war ?" or "How to start a war ?" you will find a lot of answers, these method is a real eye opener....bomohwkl wrote:Hmmmm....what happen if people use it to supress themselves even without consciously knowing it?
There is a nice little story , that shows what happens if you start to re-ask the "matter of course" :
A Fisherman comes back at noon after a good fishing, goes to the beach and have a lie in the sun.
A tourist ask the Fisherman why he doesn`t goes fishing again on a successful day like this to make another good haul.
The Fisherman ask him why he should do this.So starts the following conversation:
Fisherman: "Why should i go fishing again at this day , i got already a good haul." Tourist : "You could sell the fishes and
earn a lot of money with that" Fisherman: "For what do i need much money ?" Tourist : "You could spend it for a lot of things,
for example you could travel to make a holiday" Fisherman : "What do i have from a holiday ?" Tourist : "You could lie in the sun at the beach"
Fisherman : "But...I`m doing this already"
I think yes....You can say that. The important thing is the sprititual development, with enough spiritual development you know that you don`t need all the money and would propably use it to support the poor`s , wouldn`t you ?It is a common belief that rich people gets rich by taking advantage of other people. What happen if such assumption is not wholefully correct? Wouldn't it defer you from being able to achieve financially self-reliance? Wouldn't you cut yourself of being financially literate? Couldn't you use your financial literacy to increase your time for spiritual development in future? Early retirement perhaps? Of course, financial freedom doesn't make sense if it is not used to accelarate spiritual development. Can I say that?
