We are going backwards..its not a race of survival against but with each other, ancient philosophy like survival of the fittest, or the laws of the jungle that applies to animal behavior does not fit true human existence, human behavior is twisted misalligned at the very least..please open your minds..seek complete understanding of what existing means and why,religious concepts do not seem to be correct.even the teachers of various phillosophies cant seem to answer the age old questions,no god really shows they exist except in many believing minds,some claim creation is the evidence of gods existence, let us research and seek to end confusion and find our destiny, I seek knowledge..try to open my mind and learn how to fully use it, many cant exist without medication for the mind and behavior in most developed nations, the closest to being a written manual on the self is the Tao I Ching but few are aware of its existence, also the bible in some ways, a lot is missing..HELP!!!!!.

I share your frustration, but what can we do? I have prayed for an answer and I know the answer is on the way. Will we receive it in our life time? Maybe not. But each of us must do what ever is in our power to make things right. Its like lighting one little candle, rather than cursing the darkness.

dont panic
i know the i ching
and other great philosophy
we are in something akin to a computer game its not real
all that is real is you when you close your eyes and feel consciousness from the universe
..............
have you read this?
..................
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
