Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01249)

It is great to have an ex-Nazi as Pope. Well someone has to give continuation to the generation of "holy man" chosen as Popes. In such bright period we are living, nothing more perfect, an ex-Nazi, conservative pope supportedby the Opus Dei. What to do? Seat and watch, and with surprise learn thatSouth America (one of the great voiceless areas, victim of the capitalistic exploration) contain the larger number of Catholic followers.

Meanwhile, far away from my land, here in Greece I was shocked because manyGreeks do not know who Hypathia was or Proclos, do not know how to write their own language without mistakes. But they know who was Saint Demitris orSaint whoever. They know of course that in the past they had a bright history full of great contributions but they cannot see that the Greek soul is so long imprisoned within the Christian temples. I am sure in the future the Christian era will be considered the darkest Era known in history of humanity. 

Christians made a great job in alienating people and obviously the supporters of the capitalism are not less smart and go on with the same job but in a more clever way they have “freedom” and “democracy” standing by their side. The Centre of the Western World is some countries of North America, and Europe; sorry you have to exclude East Europe. That is it, all the rest which contains the largest population is just the rest, numbers statistics, third world.

But we have freedom not an open inquisition any more, slavery was abolished, colour people are free and we live in a completely democratic world, we can vote and choose our “great” leaders. We tell the children that to kill people is a crime, (because we are civilized) but to kill people in an unwanted war generated by the country is patriotism. 

Things seem a bit twisted, and I wonder are we theosophists becoming a bunch of autistics? Or is humanity generally autistic? May be it is me and I just do not know. Maybe all this that I see and I have seen is a great nightmare and I will wake up tomorrow morning and there will be no children dyingof starvation, there will be not people fading in front of me because they sold their blood to be able to buy a plate of food. There will be not racism, the Christian priests will be not walking on red carpets within one ofthe richest and powerful place of the world (Vatican) but they would be sharing what they have and helping others, there will be no war. The images of the children six, seven years old children I saw working four in the morning in India will be gone away; so many sad things I have seen will vanish.All this would be just a nightmare. Because dear friend if this is not a nightmare tell me how to live in a world like this. I need to know how you deal with it, the pain I
fell is too deep, and I do not know what to do. If you do know tell me, because I want to learn how you deal with it.
