for sure Julez us humans are both animals and spiritual; Denied our animal instincts. I'm pretty sure whats what there trying to do. but I don't think my human life is eternal, I'm 99.9 % sure when my body is dead i wont remember any thing of this life if I become a tree a bird or grain of sand. I'm vibrating with life, if i had supper powers i could send out love blasts and all would be happy. I hope julez you wont be offending by me saying i would defend you. :)

and yes I probable would defend all of the rest of you. and i hope all you pucking lallygagging so and so have your gardens started. happy growing season. We have to become protectors of mother Earth. and yes I am wearing a tie-die shirt.

I don't remember a thing of what happened in the first two years of my life, while it were the most important ones.
I also believe mother Earth takes better care of itself than when we pretend to take care of her, and I'll repeat the wise sentence in this thread once more:
defense attracts offense, basic law of manifestation!
And me too: love you all for being here.
May the Force be with us

you dont remember the first 2 years of your life julez, that quite normal. i actually remember everything including my birth, i even have a few memories that are mine, but not quite mine like a past life. Everything i remember as a baby, ive verified with my parents. Past life stuff i havent delved too much into, i do remember dying, the fear of it and the regrets i held on too, and i do remember being forced to live again instead of moving on. This is why i believe in a god, but we humans have got it all wrong, christianity, judaism, islam, buddists all of them are incorrect, which is why im agnostic. Life is sacred, human, animal, plant, or microbe, thing is its only sacred until its about survival and they say once you lose your homocide virginity, your never quite the same again, and if you have to take a life afterwards it becomes easier and almost natural which for some is quite creepy and heart wrenching. This also applies to killing an animal for food, i remember shooting my first rabbit, and i was actually sick to my stomach, but once i did it, it became so natural that it no longer phases me to kill animal for food, or pelts.
There is a very small percentage of people who could never take a life of another person or creature for their own survival, and those people end up dead. Its a natural selection thing, if your not strong enough to survive or your not meant too, you wont.

Very interesting paragraph, to ponder about...this is what I concluded, about my very own self: I wouldn't have a problem, actually no problem at all, to kill whoever or whatever is an imminent threat to me, my loved ones or whoever depends on me for safety. A good old Russian carabin would serve me well LOL! Example: Real bullies, gangs, maniacs and animals, all those determined to kill or harm me, mine and weaker ones. Now, the fun part: I am unable to take someone's life or/and an animal's life who are innofensive, in order to keep myself alive. Maybe I would kill an animal but not a human -so to take over his/her food- (and I would thank the animal for it's sacrifice), in order to keep someone else alive but not myself. I know, I know, I would make a bad "survivalist" and I know, I know, I eat poultry, animals and fish that "someone else" killed so to keep myself alive and healthy (?), I have actually been cutting on animal meats gradually, mainly after becoming conscient of the life factor, but my point is that I, personally, can't do it, kill so that I can eat. Sure, I know I would end up dying if nothing else natural and edible is around. In this case, I will die...peacefully...and will make sure I will let myself go far, very far away from any hungry heartless cannibals (Yuk!). ;D ;D ;D
And by the way, I don't think that killing to survive has really to do with being strong or not, but has to do mostly with principles, with what you feel or believe in. This is my very own perspective on life and living beings. Only my two cents in this subject.

Your "two cents worth", Laroque, are always worth at least a dollar in my book.
thanks.
