 Humans use gods 

to expiate their barbarities.

More and more research is showing that you are what you eat. Something that some ancient folks have already known all along.

It is just that in the West, XXI century man is terribly in loved - sometimes mad - with the "scientific method" (SM). And if something is not under this umbrella it is not worth jack. 

This kind of seeing the world tuned to the music of  scientific method is OK, of course.  We all know that is needed in many aspects.

But in others, this method sucks, if not evil.

When it sucks, it means in too many cases torturing animals such as sticking probes and needles in the asses or bellies of mice, rats, dogs, cats, chimpanzees and what have you to find out what makes them tick and sick when used in cruel experimentation (Video 1) and so forth.

 Video 1. Undercover at the world´s largest chimpanzee laboratory.

Ancient traditional medical wisdom (e.g., Ayurvedic science) (Video 2) is still seen as plain nonsense or not worth considering in a some scientific circles.

 Video 2. Ayurveda: The science of life.

Some it is nonsense, like the medicinal use of elephant ivory in China, for example. There is no scientific basis for it.

And it is not only that but also is embedded as part of a serious environmental problem. The illegal trafficking elephant tusks, for exmple, has brought these wonderful pachyderms to the brink of extinction.

But other is definitely not. Therefore, traditional medical wisdom should not be discarded as useless at all.

Some scientists sponsored by big pharmaceutical companies are certanly open to explore this world.

Why do you think there are now many botanists, ethnobotanists and pharmacologists becoming pupils of South American shamans deep in the Amazon jungle?

Go and ask Dr. Mark J. Plotkin (1993) what he thinks. He will tell you that a great deal of modern medicine discoveries are achieved by checking what is on the other side of the fence: In this case the side of the Amazon jungle shamans.

Anyway, what you see is not what you see but what you see is what you see as you were told to see it. 

This is the case with human behaviour, especially when it comes to food habits.

There are dualities in this world.



Man´s gruesome dualities: India´s trafficked cows 

There are many gruesome dualities in this world. One of them is the duality of animal slaughtering, which all of the people who eat meat thrive upon, and people´s "spirituality" (if any) around the planet.

Historically and mythological, most people on Earth have idolised and still idolise blood-thirsty demigods or demons, some of which may or may not be disguised (conveniently or not) as all-loving and mighty aethereal creatures.   

So, praying to these freaky "gods" and then slaughtering animals do not mix even though people mix them when they want to mix what they should not mix with what they cannot mix when they do not mix because they want to mix them where they do not mix but they mix what cannot be mixed even though is mixed when it is not mixed.

This bloody dual mixing is not at all surprising since people - Homo insapiens, an ape yet to achieve the true sapiens (sensu stricto) threshold, not Linnaeus´ sensus - basically function like programmed robots. Biological robots, that is. 

And, with few exceptions, they are! 

Take the food habit programming or software, for instance.

People do not eat what they think they want to eat when they want to eat it but they eat what they were programmed to eat. Enhanced by memories, of course.

Since childhood and through the growing years, people are programmed at home, school and society just like machines (computers). In this case, like biological machines.

They are programmed in many aspects of their lives: what to eat, when to eat, what to wear, how to behave, what to read, how to fuck, where to go to, what to shop for, what gods to pray to, etc., etc.

And one of people´s most cherished programmes is the food habits software.

If you push the button of questioning the food habits programming of these biological robots (humans), the software they do not want you or anyone to ever touch, they will go crazy. 

They will take a defensive stand or posture. They will tell you to fuck off. 

When over-programmed (maniac) along this line, these biological robots will curse you and even attack you.

In some extreme cases, when the biological robots/humans were screwed up during the early years of their programming, they might even twist and wring your neck like a chicken. 

In other words, they may kill you for having questioned their food habits software!

After all, food habits are sacred programmes for these biological robots/humans. 

Take for example the meat eating habit.

Meat-devouring biological robots (i.e., human carnivores) invent and have invented myriads of excuses and piles of hypotheses upon hypotheses and theories upon theories supported and sponsored by a global meat mafia, the powerful meat industry & Inc. (i.e., e global elite and its hived scientists and physicians, most of whom have never take a nutrition course in their lives and/or do not keep abreast with the havoc this bloody habit is causing in human populations; they do not tell you the truth for fear of losing their jobs) in order to maintain this programmed profiteering bloody habit (e.g., in 2009, meat and poultry industry sales totalled $154.8 billion in the USA) which cannot be maintained forever in a planet of finite resources.  

In a world with an explosion of the numbers of biological robots/humans - 7.000.000.000 of them (they´ve been busy fucking!) and still growing - considering that most of them want to eat meat, then there will not be any hope for the human species. 

Mon Capitaine, are these crazy people planning on raising cows in Mars?

Oui, oui... mon ami!

These biological robots/humans do and will do anything and everything to hang on to their meat eating software at the expense of fucking up their nest (Video 3), mon Capitaine!

Oui, mon ami!

Video 3. Deforestation: Soybean, palm oil and Eucalyptus.

Now, considering the state of the planet at the present time, only environmetally irresponsible meat-loving biological robots/humans can still wonder about what to wonder about when there is no more time to wonder about when they wonder about what they enjoy wondering about what they should not be wondered about any longer in a anthropogenically screwed up world. A world where Mother Nature´s wonder is the absolute owner and master of all in the end.

Where is the change in diet?

No change in sight, mon Capitaine!

C´est effrayant, mon ami!

Mon Capitaine, we´re fucked!

Oui, mon ami!


India: A pain in the cattle

India is a pain in the cattle. Why? It is a place where thousands of cows are subjected to a lot of suffering and a cruel death.


It comes to most people´s surprise to find out that cow-loving India is amongst the top 10 beef producing countries in the whole world (Fig. 1).

This means a lot of cow killing in the slaughterhouses, legally or illegally. 

Fuck!

On the one hand, cows are sacred but on the other hand cows are sent to hell.

Some people in India and neighbouring countries love cows. Humans do not mean any harm to these noble animals. Their lives depend on the lives of these animals.

Other India´s people "love" them too. Yeah! 

But they love cows in a different way. They are meat lovers and meat traffickers and/or meat mafiosi.

These meat lovers and/or meat traffickers love to see cows in the cooking pot, nationally or transnationally.

Unfortunately, many a times, if not done out of crokedness, poverty puts a lot of pressure on some people and pushes them to this trafficking limit in India, a country where surprisingly there are many billionaires that could do more for their countrymen than just sucking their blood.

In this mafia world, to get these sentient animals to the cooking pot, cows are put through a living hell.  

That is sad.

One coin, two faces. 

One gruesome duality.

Let us see a good example of man´s gruesome dualities: Cow trafficking in India and Bangladesh (Video 3):

In India, cows are sacred and venerated. Yet millions cross the border illegally, destined for the abattoir in neighbouring Bangladesh. In a country with insufficient cattle to feed its population, Indian cows are big business. France 24 takes you behind the scenes of the trafficking the Indian authorities are striving to contain, so far without success.[France 24]

OUR BRAIN, THE TRAPPED TRAP: ECHO OF AN ECO

Over the horizon the Sun is setting (Fig. 1), its rays are playing with the clouds forming a beautiful phantasmagorical reddish and purplish cascade. 

Figure 1. A colourful sunset. Source: deviantart.

Enthralled and mesmerised by the natural spectacle, you are standing still, holding your small child in your arms, your daughter who is only a few months old. You talk to her in whatever language you are trapped and tell her that what is on the horizon is the Sun.

- Sun!!, Sun!!, Sun!!.... You keep repeating to your child.

You are planting the seed of your own brain trap in the child´s developing trap, because basically that is what any language is, a brain trap. 

This brain trap allows us to communicate with one another in marvelous ways but at the same time it keeps us prisoners in a jail of words, thoughts or whatever the fuck you want to call them.

So, by the time we reach five we are already well wrapped up in a cocoon of words. Fucked up and lost in a world of words within our heads.

Storms of echoes of words go back and forth constantly inside our heads which appear out of nowhere.

We are now swimming in the ocean of the talking and overthinking naked ape, man (Homo insapiens).

Soon school comes along. New experiences make their presence. 

Days come and go. And this brain trap has grown much bigger and bigger and it will grow even bigger as the years go by.

By the time we reach 40 or 50 years of age or before, we are trapped by the trap that is not a trap but we let it work upon ourselves like a trap to trap what cannot be trapped but is trapped. 

And then to top it all off, some powerful big baboons - the global oligarchs - come along, those who are in command of the masses of the trapped, and these invent a whole slew of new traps to keep trapped the trapped people because they want us to be trapped to play with our trap, so they can live off and suck off our trapped trap. 

Notwithstanding the trappers are also trapped by their own trap, so we all end up trapped, trappers and trapped. The fucking trap fell into its own trap.

Most of us are never or have never been taught by our parents or at school any methods or techniques to be the master of this brain trap. 

Besides, the way things are set, this is a no-no. The big baboons do not want any of their sheeple (human sheep) stray away.

Nevertheless, such methods or techniques are relevant and important because they can help us bring some quietness, silence or peace to this hell trap.

Why hell trap?

Because that is what this trap is for most people. 

Most humans have a Dante´s Inferno inside their trapped heads, especially when the sequences of real events in their lives do not fit their fucking whims within the trapped trap in their heads.

And even if some people are stoic, other fucking people around them many a times do their fucking best to make sure they also live in hell just as much as their own fucking hell.  

Life continues its course.

So when the final recycling Trap that puts an end to all of the brain traps finds us walking along the way of all of the trapped, it snatches our trapped lives up and sends us to the hole of the real rabbit, to dwell forever in the pit where all of the trapped traps will be disintegrated and recycled by the forces of the Universe. 

Our final resting place. This is the end to all of our stupid sellings and buyings, wheelings and dealings, all the technological hocus-pocus, warmongering, phone chatting, internet tweeting, any fucktardations, any nothings we came up with whilst we were biologically functional and psychological dysfunctional. 

Anything: be it walking, talking, shopping, fucking, eating, shitting, travelling, working, building empires, making and hoarding money, arguing, fighting, killing, etc., etc., etc..... All gone.

Death taketh away everything!

Death does away for good with our trapped lives which have been after all, for most people, lives lived like well groomed zombies living within a trap. 

Trapped zombies, vampirised biological robots, sucked up by other greedy zombies, all dreaming of security when nothing is secure in life except death.

Like a herd of fucked up pets inside a cage.

Cage? Is it possible? Are we pets within a pet within a chain of pets? A matrix within a matrix within a chain of matrices?

It could be. 

Don´t some experts say that we live in a holographic universe? But then, who is the holographer?

This is why sometimes we wonder: Who is the owner? 

Is the "owner" of this zoo of human pets on Earth - whether he, she or it is some sort of bored demiurge who is playing with a toy squirting big bangs when he, she or it is pissed off, or may be taking a dump, and thus creates a new universal trap every time he does his staff - producing his, her or its own trap?

It could be. Did someone not say that there can never be any trapping without falling into the trap?

Who is the trapped, the fox which has been caught in the trap or the hunter who depends on the fox to live off selling its furs?

As the saying says, in the end the hunter becomes the hunted. 

Is it not ironic that after spending an entire life chasing and studying microorganisms, a microbiologist will be eventually eaten up and decomposed by bacteria, fungi and worms?

Life is such a flickering experience and yet we spend it most of the time bickering, arguing, tearing up nature or at war, with a few resting periods in between to come to the surface to gulp some air and gather up again our forces to engage in war once more. 

We spend it doing a sequence of nothings which in the end sum up to nothing.

Nothing can be nothing because it is nothing we do to care for this planet.

Nothing could be more than nothing if we loved and cared for our only home - Earth - as we should and must.

The future is in our hands. It is unfolding right now. 

The other nonhuman species on this planet are already doing their best to maintain the planet´s Biosphere. 

Now it is our turn to do our best. 

Yes, best. Or will it be worse?... It is all up to us, humans.

In the meantime, Earth continues its path around the Sun. But sooner or later it will toll its bells calling us. 

Will we be ready for her appointment?

If we do our homework right - our planetary housekeeping - and start right now, she might upload us into the future.  

Or download us if we fail to meet her standards. 

When the moment comes, what will come it will come if we come where we should have come to come to the place where all the species must come when they do the right thing to come: It means survival. 

Or what will come it will not come for us because we did not do anything to come where we should all have come: It means extinction.

Brains without brains are no brains when we need brains. Brains with brains are brains when we need brains with brains where there should be brains.

And wherever there are brains with brains, there is the possibility for brains - the trapped trap - to make it into the future.

But man is behaving with no brains when he puts his brains to destroy what it gave him his brains: Mother Nature.

Will he have the brains with brains to change his collision course to smash his brains?

Will man be trapped by his own brain trap?

It remains to be seen.


An echo of an eco

Life is an echo. An echo of stabilised energy waves momentarily realised on the fabric of the eco. And eco is the sum of all the echoes dancing on a universal echo. Life is an echo of an eco within an echo of an echo of echoes.

If you take away the eco, there is no echo, ours and theirs. No eco, no echo; our echoes.

Eco with no echo can only be echo without eco and if there is no echo it is because we have no eco. No eco means no echo.

So if we want to have echo, we must take care of the eco. 


It is high time we should all be ecophilosophising. And what´s even better: Ecoacting. Ecoacting accordingly, we know enough to do so. 

Maintaining the well being of the Biosphere as a whole should be our common goal. 

Another turn of the Earth has come to pass. Where did it find you? Have you questioned your own trapped trap in you head?

To question or not to question the brain trap is a good sign that you have or have not understood what trapping the brain trap is all about in our so ephemeral lives.

If you question you don´t move and if you don´t question you move. Such is the dilemma in our lives.
