Perceiving Reality hosts another guest questioner concerned about the state of the world. I'll rephrase his question: "Why have we made things that kill us?"
VIDEO: What Are Weapons of Mass Destruction For? !!! (03:35)
Perceiving Reality places this question within a general perspective (which is taught in Kabbalah's beginning stages - see this article for an example).
There are two paths humanity can take from here:
1. The path it has always treaded, called "the path of pain,"
2. The path of ascent into higher consciousness, called "the path of Light and transformation."
The Path of Pain isn't really a path. It is simply the existence we live in where we don't have clear perception and sensation of where we come from, where we are headed, what our purpose is, and how to act according to the reason why we were born into this world.
The Path of Light and Transformation is the path where we discover (i) our own nature, and (ii) the force which has created us and guides us into the understanding of what it is.
The Path of Light and Transformation is offered to us from the moment we are attracted to questions about our life's purpose: Who are we? Where are we from? Where are we headed? Why were we put here? Why is life so hard for so many people? Why do so many people feel so bad? etc.
So what does this have to do with weapons of mass destruction? While treading the Path of Pain, we are given circumstances that push us to ask the above questions. Since we are opposite in form to the force of development (we are egoistic, the force that guides us is altruistic), we feel these circumstances as pain.
"The path of pain is really the evolution of egoism over millenia" says Perceiving Reality host Anthony Kosinec. The more we've tried to receive pleasure in life, the more pain has been revealed to us; and as egoism intensifies, so does the forms of its pleasures ... and its pains. Do you start to get why there are these big weapons of mass destruction sitting there now? Do we have to wait until certain people are controlled in their desires to think that affecting these weapons of mass destruction in a certain area would be a better option than not to, or is there something we can do about it?
