A Perilous Status

Human Life On Earth Is Endangered

Introduction

This general analysis has been approached with minimal prejudice, anger, fear, or blame, in an endeavor to fairly evaluate the dynamics of deterioration and reasonably consider the foundation for reconstruction.

Increasing psychological and corporeal suffering manifesting in converging international tensions are overt signs of an acceleration of the disintegration of the social order on the planet.

Humanity’s behavioral degeneration over the course of increasing material technology during the previous two hundred years has culminated in this global crisis. The movement towards an unrestrained destructive world war is the direct result of unharnessed technical advances without creative direction.

The machinations driving the unstable condition of humanity have an immense range of variables. Identifying conditions and cultural biases that initiate harm is a primary task. Towards this end and momentarily setting aside the powerful potential of individual behavior, people can be generally divided into three groups, with considerable overlap in behaviors.

The indigenous represent a very small remaining group who have not lost their tribal or aboriginal foundations. Although they are impacted by global trends and events, they have an overall neutral effect on planetary degradation.

A second group, the compromised indigenous includes cultures that were recently stable although they have adopted many of the relatively new materialistic and mechanistic attributes of modern society. They have the heritage and potential to appreciate their peaceful and ethical social origins, though currently remain under the influence of dominant forces, marginally contributing to the downfall of humanity.

Understanding the dynamics of a third impactful group is the focus of this report. They are the contemporary majority who have denied, repressed, or ignored most ancestral memory and principled decision-making. Most have fully immersed themselves in the highly destructive social behaviors and denatured technical economies that are profoundly stressing societies and ecosystems.

Examining prevailing trends in condoned behavior confirms this assertion. A majority of individuals are suffering increased instability and rampant animosity on a personal level; fueling the polarized, competition-based activities that are degrading their own habitat. 

This predominant warrior class remains on a steadfast course toward self-destruction.

Fouling The Nest

The daily habits and tolerances of a culture are indicators of its viability.

It has become normalized to ingest, inhale, and inject a wide range of toxic substances that are poisonous to the body and spirit. Some are imbibed for their initial palliative effect or pleasant sensation, while nutritious aliments have been replaced with indigestible ingredients. Synthetic flavors and coloring are often used to give a false sense of palatability. Detrimental compounds are absorbed or added in the agricultural, manufacturing, medical, and packaging processes.

The harsh chemicals applied in production and the waste from plasticized containers have adverse effects on all life and are now detectable in oceans, water supplies, and bodily fluids.

The tolerance of fouled air is a global syndrome. Overtly ignoring the toxicity of burning matter and living within clouds of the fumes from industrial waste, pesticides, and combustion engines exhibits a deep disconnect with the natural order. While rates of illness and death are significantly related to increased pollution, a minimum of resources are applied to reversing the devolution of human life related to environmental poisoning.

The acceptance of inefficient, rampant, atmospheric carbonization is symptomatic of a disconnect with inherent intuitive instinct. Despite being surrounded by immense creative natural forces, most people fail to recognize their own personal power and potential to make appropriate decisions and choices. This is engendered and reinforced by societal pressures that depict materialism and consumerism as primary pursuits, with a toxic environment as acceptable collateral damage.

Consumptive and senseless practices are signs of loss of common sense. Rather than harnessing powerful creative universal energy, these patterns continue with worsening consequences.

With increasing industrialization and encroachment of ecosystems, the extinction rate for all other species on Earth is hundreds of times above previous eras. Living creatures don’t survive when their ability to find dwellings and food is compromised. With its own habitat degrading, humanity is becoming the subsequent victim of a self-inflicted wound.

Reproduction is at a critical juncture with fertility rates in both females and males dropping dramatically in the industrialized areas of all continents. Lower birth rates are directly related to toxic surroundings and general destabilization, stress, and poor diet; and in some cases, due to medications that inadvertently or subversively limit procreation.

The ability to reproduce is the first functional loss of all living things when under stress. Infertility figures represent just one area that displays the trend toward extinction, yet it is a telling gauge of endangerment. 

Life expectancy is another barometer of the health of a society. Previous increases in longevity were due to improved education, reduction of child labor, purer public water supplies, and sanitation. These factors are deteriorating rapidly due to negligence and destruction.

The continuing debasement of the quality of life because of the negation of basic needs is yet another example of a social order that has lost its principles. On a planet with immense natural resources, multitudes suffer from a lack of water and hunger, with many adults and children dying from malnutrition and starvation.

In contrast to the minimal response to this dire situation, when hostilities and war are deemed necessary, there is no limit to urgent military activity with an enormity of funds applied.

Compounding Effects of Delusion

There is an attempt to hold up humanity as a self-aware, aloof entity, apart from everything else in the world. This hierarchical, mechanistic view is divisive on all levels, reinforcing destructive and self-defeating interests.

Destructive conduct is aligned with the intractable superstitious belief that the Earth is at the apex of the cosmos and a unique home of sentient life. Dysfunctional behavior can often be traced to an egotistical attitude; people perceive themselves at the center of the Universe.

This self-centeredness is illusory and unstable, provoking a fearful outlook and poor decision-making. This skewed perspective makes people vulnerable to manipulation and threats by the most powerful among them.

People are progressively losing their personal power. Acceptance of a selfish, materialistic perspective also engenders further repression of instincts and tolerance of unreasonable physical and emotional conditions. Without a connection to inner core strength and innate ethical principles, the inability to make sensible behavioral decisions compounds irrationality in the social order and reinforces the generally disintegrating downward spiraling pattern.

This is exemplified by the number of people living in densely populated cities. Homes are stacked upon one another, often with people not knowing who lives above, below, or next to them. This practice, seemingly driven by an economic framework, thrives on skewed priorities.

There is sufficient land and resources on the planet for everyone. Yet people are separated from the sustaining elements of the natural world because they accept dense crowding as a superior habitat. The majority of people in cities do not comprehend why anyone would want to live where there is open space, pure air, a calm atmosphere — and the ability to grow or gather food.

Where millions of people dwell in close proximity they act erratically and with malice. Problems caused by density are misidentified as overpopulation.

This destabilized condition directly increases competition and the potential for hostile interactions. The desperate need to compete for the same small space and seemingly limited resources are examples of a system of false values initiating strife. Irrational assessment denies intrinsic worth and stimulates deep unreconcilable conflict.

This competitive atmosphere is exacerbated by those who benefit immensely from the process of exchanging and moving wealth solely for profit. Commodities are purchased, then sold soon after for exorbitant amounts without adding any value. Investors can make fortunes by wagering that companies will suffer a loss. This system is intrinsically inflammatory and compounds systemic and emotional distress. Eventually, these transactional losses negatively impact everyone.

The arbitrary valuation of property and material possessions is another factor undermining the potential for harmonious creativity.

Wealth is held up as the barometer of success and status; though glorified, it is only tangentially related to genuine gratification and happiness. There are very poor people living joyful, agrarian lives in remote villages; and very rich people under great stress living in elaborate city dwellings. The accumulation and production of material things drive most economies, rather than prioritizing basic needs. This dynamic adds stress to individuals and benefits an affluent minority.

There are diminishing numbers of those who can sustain honest, creative activities that provide income. A majority of people are not happy about the work they do and would rather be doing something else.

The general acceptance and approval of the accumulation of wealth for its own sake is a direct result of the dogmatic materialistic mindset. Governments, no matter how they define themselves politically or economically, are driven by pirating and profiteering. Legislators bargain for policies that benefit an exclusive minority. Corporations have manipulated laws to where they have more rights and protection than individuals.

The vast majority of oligarchs tolerate poverty and support competitive societies with military-based economies. While funds are wasted on armaments, people suffer from inadequate or non-nutritious food and sub-standard housing. This disparity fuels the continuing hostile atmosphere, adding enormous tension and confusion to the ethos of the individual and society.

Because of natural disasters or hostile conflicts, driven by survival needs, distressed populations look for safety and shelter in an unregulated manner. Both the international crisis concerning desperate migrants and the epidemic of domestic homelessness display symptoms of the failure of society to prioritize human dignity.

It would not take immense resources to solve basic material problems, yet minimal solutions are provided, nor are the primary causes successfully addressed. 

Reinforced Degradation

The demise of human potential is directly proportional to the rise of misdirected technology, much of it applied to warfare or profiteering. The exponential development of microprocessing has not had a corresponding growth in knowledge of self. These factors compound into an existential dilemma.

Most people are incapable of appreciating the present; they often look to the past with nostalgia or regret — and to the future with fear. The lack of parallel development of computerization with metaphysical expansion continues to fuel a tenuous ambiance of increasing havoc. A seminal factor supporting this condition is the influence of an elite group of materialists who have defined the body as a bio-mechanism.

Humans are now considered inferior to the computational devices and artificial intelligence that dominate much activity on the planet. Materialistic forces have suppressed creativity and taken advantage of the demise of the human spirit. This devaluation of the individual has reduced stability in almost every realm of relationships and enterprise.

The disassociation from nature is aligned with almost all current behavior. Basic instincts of awe, wonderment, and humility are greatly repressed; this disposition is initiated by the devaluation of the spirit beginning in childhood. Adults dwell in a mechanized world that reinforces both their own and their children’s materialistic view of every aspect of life. The young are forced away from their joy and inclination to be in the moment; they grow into adults with conflicted emotions about almost everything in their lives.

Expectations parents have of their children are revelatory. The increasing technological priorities of successive generations have stunted the development of creative activities and survival instincts. Unrealistic demands and projected fears ultimately shape a life of worry and stress. Childhood influences and constraints account for much of adult dysfunction and inability to cope with challenges.

In lieu of a joyful and creative life, there is an unshakeable hypnotic trance, exemplified by people in regions rich and poor, who in most waking hours are viewing electronic screens, with the expectation that some images or words will give them some new satisfaction.

The affliction and addiction increase as people lose their ability to be intimate and compassionate. People can sit next to one another, oblivious to a potential deeper connection, while staring at their devices. It has become acceptable for people to lose all stability when without their smartphones.

With the illusion that technology is a primary source of intimacy, there is far less genuine engagement, leading to the further devaluation of life. The search in a two-dimensional reality for satisfaction is not a cause, but rather a symptom of a greater syndrome; a desperate attempt to fill a spiritual void.

Self-worth has been diminished by this false atmosphere and reliance on superior technical intelligence; driving a growing sense of desperation. The lack of meaning in life is a primary factor in a variety of activities that have no redeeming value.

The sadness generated by this induced spiritual impotence has manifested in a growing general climate of anger and hostility.

Anti-social Repercussions

The antagonistic atmosphere reinforces prejudice and allows the fracturing of social structures. Those who seemingly agree with each other on matters of import are easily divided on minor issues. As aggression is institutionalized across communities, increasing levels of hostility are tolerated, often among friends and families. Rampant disruptions manifest with verbal abuse, emotional torment, and overt violence. 

Before the modern age, animosity was viewed and defined as aberrational behavior that needed understanding and correction. In most contemporary cultures, hostility, shaming, and bullying are tolerated and have been normalized.

A concurrent symptom is the collapse of extended family units and the disassembling of supportive societal infrastructure. The lack of foundational creative directives and encouragement for individual growth are virtually ignored.

Dysfunctional family life further represses creative natural instincts — escalating the dominant materialistic attitudes that promote competition and disagreement. This cycle has entrenched the continuing breakdown of basic interactions, engendering ongoing destructive relationships.

Adults are oblivious enablers of the erratic and self-destructive activities of their offspring. With successive generations, the problems are compounded. This repeating pattern has been expanding with minimal recognition of the building consequences.

Children participate in patterns of social condemnation and random violence. Some disassociate from their parents in their early years; others become isolated as they age. Few adults today have not been subjected to some form of abuse as a child.

The subsequent formation of polarized groups accounts for the accelerating disassembling of broader social and political relationships and is a major impetus for extinction factors.

Pernicious attitudes have created a tide of virulence where much of the world remains in extremis.

Needless Suffering

The growing willingness of people to follow reckless and irrational customs and inappropriate laws is a result of social dysfunction and confirms the fragile condition of life. This cycle is not new, although the degree of entrancement of majorities within populations and the bold attempts at global control by unscrupulous forces is unprecedented.

This reflects an intensification of thoughtless demeanor and an eclipse of meaningful activities. Blind obedience to senseless and destructive mandates is not an aberration; it has become endemic among various cultures and countries because people have no greater wisdom to guide them.

Thus humanity responds to individual and group suffering with systems that further exacerbate the problems. Materialistic motivation overrides sensible, effective, and compassionate care. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the practice of medicine, particularly in the context of the general breakdown of planetary stability.

People have lost the ability to be fully communicative and truly healthy because creative energy is undermined and often unconsidered. Although technology has provided a growing understanding of the mechanical elements of the environment and corporeal anatomy, the vast majority of health services are not oriented toward supporting vitality.

Here, the findings are repeatedly revealed: causes are ignored, cures are disdained, and symptoms are treated.

This allows prevailing, profit-driven corporate drug vendors to hawk questionable poisonous products. These are distributed with minimal control in enormous quantities, overtly described as repressing symptoms or masking pain, with many risks. There is a false consensus that these medications support good health; more often they are injurious to the body and mind, reducing both vigor and immunity to disorders.

People are coaxed by the media to press their providers for these drugs by manufacturers, whose primary motivation is profit. A black market fills the need of those unable to participate in the system. There is recognition of the negative impact of this model, although there is no sign of it changing imminently.

The most striking deception in the realm of healthcare is the attempt to minimize the impact of lifestyle and diet while deeming vaccination the only means of preventing disease. Because of the enforced delusion that the human form is imperfect and vulnerable, and the profitability of selling over-priced compounds in huge quantities, vast numbers of people are persuaded to receive inoculations, with the promise of freedom from infection.

All informed and reliable data contradict this assertion.

The most recent experimental vaccines attempt to manipulate primary genetic information and have proven to be ineffective and very unsafe. Some injections are promoted with the unfounded claim that their benefit surpasses natural immunity — with the presumption that innate resistance is defective.

Despite known dangers, many vaccines are used by rote. They have life-long negative health impacts, particularly those given in the early years of childhood development. The number of recommended inoculations for healthy infants and children continues to expand. Studies confirm that vaccines continue to increase childhood dysfunction and disease with subsequent life-long debilitating conditions. This misguided campaign exacerbates the trauma of an already unhealthy, unbalanced culture.

In a deception of the highest order, pharmaceutical companies’ domination of the drug market is founded on the dismissal of traditional and herbal therapeutics. Those who question the value or risks of conventional bio-medicine and vaccines are ridiculed and ostracized. The lack of insight and comprehension of healthy energetics runs parallel with other ignorant and nefarious medical practices.

The misapplications in medical science are mirrored in almost all areas. The vast majority of researchers work on a bold premise that contemporary knowledge can master everything from corporeal functions to planetary dynamics — and they are rarely challenged.

Scientists have limited their scope by primarily examining microcosmic elementals without a broader knowledge of the driving forces of natural phenomena in the macrocosm. A narrow, consumptive, and ruinous frame of reference defines progress.

Materialism, Environment, and War

When evaluating the various areas of human interaction, it becomes apparent that the core principles of basic universal forces are ignored or misunderstood.

People have not recognized the difference between finite and unlimited resources. Waste on every level is rampant. General dissatisfaction with living environs and lack of sustenance within large communities is a source of ongoing tension. Conflicted emotions are funneled into external conflicts. Blame is projected and shifted to those depicted as dangerous and different — or upon distant foreign cultures for similar reasons. 

This ruse distracts from the dominant elite group’s profit scheme that is exhausting all elemental sources of fuels and compounds, poisoning and clouding the environment. The upper atmosphere of Earth is distressed, further destabilizing the ecosystems. Changes in the troposphere and stratosphere are causing polar caps to melt substantially with rising oceans already impacting coastal life.

Global storming of all forms has increased concurrently, with fluctuating temperatures as never recorded before. Futile and detrimental attempts to manipulate the atmosphere with cloud-seeding or sun-blocking technology exemplify how humanity regards its dominance over nature.

These are desperate measures in the face of imminent devastation.

The obvious changes in climate are portrayed to manipulate further divisiveness with extremely diverse perspectives. Some forces claim there are no problems; others insist that radical or oppressive measures must be implemented to improve the atmosphere. Seen either way, natural calamities are dealt with politically — they are used to sway populations and bargain for further profits and control. 

The variety of detrimental influences from dependence on carbon fuels has compounding effects on the human psyche. Finite sources of unclean energy and related products grow in cost, particularly because there are huge profits involved. Meanwhile, the profitability of distributing non-renewable energy drives pre-existing hostilities toward confrontation. Competition, both in exploration for supplies and profiting from these combustibles is the underlying cause of recent wars.

By not mirroring nature and capturing the power of their sun and gravitational forces, people virtually ignore a relatively endless supply of inexpensive fuel. Some individuals and organizations recognize the need for a transition to cleaner dynamic sources, but motivation and implementation are limited because of the huge dominance of petroleum industries, which have essentially merged with most governments.

While claiming to be humane and altruistic, the agenda of leadership has little to do with improving stability, exemplified by ineffective directives. Governments maintain imbalance and inequities, repressing the people they preside over, with an absence of ethical principles and a focus on profits. Generally, truth is obscured by the rhetoric of leaders who take advantage of the general discord and discontent, often promoting division, and deeming war a necessity. This polarization serves the purposes and stability of the elite, leaving little chance for peace.

There is little comprehension of the underlying causes of warfare; it is viewed much like athletic sports. One favors a side and becomes a supporter, without a true understanding of the conflict or potential damage. The cheering on of violence is another symptom of underlying anxieties and projections. Many believe war is a battle between good and evil forces, yet each side is equally convinced of its moral superiority.

There is growing acceptance that nuclear war is inevitable, although the consequences are beyond imagination. This disconnect allows the continuing proliferation of weapons that can irreparably destroy the core bonds of living matter.

Summary Of The Descent Of Humanity

A materialistic and technological foundation for society spirals and expands, emerging from families to organizations and politics, manifesting as cross-cultural intolerance of differences and indiscriminate violent acts. This strains and destroys relationships, undermining entire nations, while leadership and media attach blame to everything without recognition of the primary causalities. 

Ruling forces use repressive internal tactics and international hostilities, justified by unbalanced emotional responses. This proclivity has further empowered governments to adopt blind demands for conformity when facing a crisis, where officials implement whatever dictates they choose; usually, those policies that support wealthy corporations.

Humanity’s descent has come to a juncture where forces small and large, incite hostility and reverberate with one another, normalizing the self-destructive behavior of the species. This continues to inflame ongoing justification and enthusiastic promotion of activities leading to cataclysmic warfare. 

People feel helpless to initiate change and thus remain in this circular conundrum. Intractable, deluded perspectives dominate decision-making. There are some individuals and organizations that recognize the need to change priorities to prevent complete devastation.

No matter what weapons are considered, the false logic that violence will end violence is pervasive. The justification for the use of nuclear weapons was established at the end of the last World War and similar logic is percolating through current adversaries. New divisions are rising rapidly, both within individual societies and externally between nations. Previous conventions that discouraged nuclear escalation or use have been terminated.

There are border tensions where one or both of the combatants have nuclear arms. The perilous conflict underway in Eastern Europe is taking shape as the beginning of a global war, with extremely polarized alliances and the use of increasingly deadly devices. It is well known, though worth repeating, that there have never been arsenals or weapons developed that were not used in conflicts. Contemporary nuclear explosives are now devastatingly accurate and powerful.

The vast majority of people are in denial of, or oblivious to the level of crisis, and would rather not consider how close they are to a horrific series of events. Yet the risk of accidental deployment of this immensely dangerous weaponry is as likely as its overt use; either eventuality could initiate the extinction of the human species. The forces unleashed would have unpredictable, deleterious, local, and distant effects.

Essentially, denial of dignity to the individual eclipses primary gratification, limits creativity, multiplies frustrations, and restrains the ability to initiate change. People continue to normalize brutality and self-harm to the greatest possible extent, as the likelihood of ensuing annihilation increases.

Conditions For A Creative Outcome

Without a renaissance of the human spirit, a change in the course of events is not possible.

Identifying the origins of dysfunction is the first step in reversing the precarious course of events; truth is the harbinger of intervention and the foundation of new priorities.

There has been an increasing number of people who have reached a level of consciousness where they recognize the precarious fate of humanity. Awareness is growing that leadership and powerful economic forces do not have the best interests of the population in mind.

This has encouraged the desire for change. Organized efforts are starting to confront corruption and general ethical degradation. 

Those who work towards ending hostilities face a tremendous challenge in overcoming the societies and governments who feel empowered by maintaining dominance with sophisticated weaponry, including nuclear arsenals.

When there is a movement towards reasonable behavior, pacifying forces are marginalized by the materialistic warrior class who depend on conflict to remain in power. This pattern will change with a general recognition that hostility and warfare are futile endeavors. Because core universal concepts are currently eclipsed, self-destructive trends will not reverse without some profound leap in knowledge and an incentive for new dynamics.

A general awakening to the dysfunctional state of the planet is a necessity. An accepted, transitional movement towards peace, combining like-minded existing forces on Earth, is possible with a reprieve from the threat of complete destruction.

Liberation will come with the knowledge and agreement that not only nuclear weapons but all implements of war must be eliminated. Military establishments need to be converted into sustainable agricultural and shelter-building forces.

With this foundational shift, people will become the curators of a diverse, peaceful Earth. There are growing influences that could help move them away from the precipice and create a harmonious momentum.

An aggressive global distribution campaign by all institutions and governments of the existing food and housing supplies is a necessity. Biodynamic agricultural practices and the transition to solar and gravitational energy technologies will revolutionize the planet.

Without highly destructive weapons and military expenses, people can be provided with the knowledge and tools to sustain their basic needs; and importantly, the time and impetus to be creative. In a better world, advances in science will be applied to pursuits that enhance harmonious existence. Ending the isolation and suppression of the individual spirit is a priority. 

A reawakening of ethical behavior is possible with the recognition of a global family. Spiritual institutions must be reinvented and renewed; encouraging and applying the tolerant, compassionate ideals that are essential for people to live in peace.

Effective change is directly related to developing influences that alter the collective mindset from dejected loneliness to cooperative creativity.

There is no greater liberation for an individual than knowing that they are not alone. As awareness grows that people have important common interests and connectedness with communities, nations, and other countries, they are poised to understand the implications and potential for a blissful and potentially divine existence within the greater Universe.

Social equilibrium is possible even as the death throes of materialism intensify. If recognized and reversed, these precarious excesses can be viewed in retrospect as the traumatic birth pains of the transition to a peaceful world.
