People like to live with Nature around them and not in concrete jungles. Well some people. It creates fire risks but that is a risk people are prepared to take to be surrounded by natural beauty. We have huge fires here in Australia but people still want to live in natural settings.
Also people who are karmically confused re: gender deserve respect and support from the community in the 21st century. My gay son reminded me last night that not so long ago people were jailed for being gay. C'mon do we want to go back to the dark ages? Black lives do matter. How on earth can they not? If being woke means trying to take an understanding of the issues that affect minority groups then we should all get on board.
I don't really understand confusion about gender identity but I do feel this would be a huge problem to somebody facing it. I dressed as a female at a high school fancy dress party and found it strangely liberating. Sri Rama Krishna also spent some time in his initial sadhana dressing as a woman and spending all his time with females. They accepted him as their own, he would even escort one of them to her husband's bed for marital relations. He said cross-dressing helped him see all women as Divine Mother and advised some of his male devotees that it helps overcome lust for the other sex.
Weboflife, nice to know you are from OZ, I've been there and that's an exceptional country. I just loved the nature.
I too live around nature and hate concrete jungles, but I'm doing my absolute best to avoid that my house is burnt. Contrary to my own little example though, Mr. Newsome was not doing his best (for example, the underbrush was not maintained and as you know overgrown underbrush is very dangerous. But at the end, who elected Mr. Newsome and the mayor of LA? the Californians and the Losangelinos themselves. So, I hate to say that, but they are reaping their massa karma. Very unfortunately.
Who says that gay people must be persecuted? But I would just hate that in the school where my son went, they advertised transgenderism in a positive way. That is called indoctrination and is a practice very common in dictatorships. Indoctrination. Starting to teach ideologies to very young people. Especially so wrong ideologies. Young souls should not be influenced and hurried to act on a whim. Young souls must evolve until they become adult souls, then they can decide by themselves.
Black lives matter: who says they don't? But that movement has become a flagship for Marxism, for violence, for crazy concepts like 'defund the police'.
By the way, the great Yogananda insisted in his writings that the police should receive more funds!
My father was in the police force, a military policeman, a federal policeman and then moved on to senior position in jails. I don't advocate stripping money from the police, and similar to something Yogananda said, my father came home from working in the prison one day when I was a teenager and told me that nothing worthwhile is achieved locking a man in a jail.
We have just gone through a sexual revolution that started last century and continues with its after-effects felt globally. I would imagine that this is a time ripe for those with gender identity issues to incarnate and my own, albeit unenlightened, view is that this is why we are seeing a big increase in the prevalence of this issue, not through indoctrination. I also think the powerful recreational drugs available these days are contributing to the confusion.
Burning off undergrowth is a very delicate operation and can lead to disaster without very special care. The native Australians would burn off large sections of forest periodically but they lived much more in harmony with nature, and built a body of knowledge over many thousands of years.. To the Indigenous Australian, all nature is the Mother, very similar to Hindu belief.
What part of the world are you from, Mccoy, I think I read Italy but I could be wrong? And where did you travel over here?
