Keep it real Ken
Does this seem really off to anyone else? I know that ken often speaks using hyperbolie to make a point, but what he says here seems to spread fear, and is baseless.
Im refering specifically to "70% of the world is Nazi's and thats entirely possible." This is so unlikely as to be strange coming from a proponent of evolution. This reminds me crazy christians belief that 'The Heart of Man is Wicked.'
Let's start with a basic HUMAN Perpective. AT LEAST 90% of people want to live their lives in peace and live with out violence in their community. Most of the people who aren't of this disposition are RED. The Nazi's, were a fringe party that came to power because of the silence and apathy of the german people. The Nazi's are killers. 70% of the world will never be Violent! That statement ignores a basic integral element of Pathology Vs Healthy.
Has anyone here heard of Trungpa and his teaching of basic goodness? The Heart of Humans are full beauty and Love. In the absence of scarcity we would all bloom into enlightened hearts, not heartless killers!

scarcity of heart, courage, compassion, and maturity

The only thing that is scarce is compassion and maturity. There's plenty to go around
There's no material excuse for material want

huh ??
Posted March 28th, 2009 by Dee Black
were we listening to the same audio ?
i could swear i heard ken say things are getting better .. that u can't go from egocentric to ethnocentric to worldcentric and say things have not gotten better
my guess is most of us that listen to these dialogues on a regular basis know that nazis is one of ken's terms of endearment for amber .. and that if everyone had a voting device in their hand .. amber would win .. is all he was saying there
u broke my heart jason with your little stab at ken but i love u anyway : )

Nazis - The Occult Conspiracy
Posted March 29th, 2009 by Christophe WitzI agree that the term 'Nazi' should be used more in historical context.
(Just in case you didn't know: We have a democracy in Germany today; even a woman as a chancellor) :P
I know that Ken knows about the the historical background, since he wrote very sensitive about it in the Foreword to 'The Eye of Spirit'. He also recommends the BBC documentary 'Nazis - The Occult Conspiracy' (which you can watch online here)
In this documentary, it is shown that the leading figures of the Third Reich were deeply emtangled with the Occult. For example Heinrich Himmler, Reichsführer SS, believed in reincarnation, and used pendulums and Rune Oracles to locate enemy Submarines. He surrounded himself with celtic prophets and obscure spiritists.
It is less known that Himmler also sent a scientific team of anthropologists, ethnologists etc. to the Himalaya, where he hoped to find evidence for the Nazi thesis that the Aryan master race (who, according to Blavatsky et al., came from the North) were descendants of the enlightened Tibetan Masters. There is another documentary about this trip that can be seen here.
You see, it is extremely beneficial to take another look at the historical records.
My hope is that the term 'Nazi' will be used in a more in historical context in the furutre, and in a less populistic ways, as it seems to have happened in the Integral Dialog that started this whole discussion.
peace,

small minority of madmen left unchecked
Posted March 28th, 2009 by cfsimkinsHi Jason,
I agree about basic human goodness. We are all inextricably tied together as one entity, we just forget it from time to time out of fear.
One of my favorite Einstien quotes, and I'm paraphrasing: "One of the most fundamental questions we can ask is if the universe is basically manevolent or benevolent."
Here's a theory: Most of us are NOT bent and overly distorted in this way. I think that we ARE more ill as a group than is commonly understood, but the bulk of 'evil' comes from a small minority that rises, not like cream but like scum, to the top and sprinkles its madness from there. The Nazi's of Germany being a perfect and appropriate example. Most of the world's people are, if anything, lost, weak, and easily led astray. This can be easily demonstrated...For anyone unfamiliar, check out the Milgrim studies.
If there is a guilt to be had from the masses, it is in being a sheeple that cannot effectively check a small minority of true madmen.
