MessageWould you include war for profit as part of the "natural cycle of expansion and contraction of the human population"? Basically thats the reason along that thousands and thousands are dying not just directly from conflict but also as a result of displacement of populations and disruption of agriculture, lack of nutrition, medical supplies etc etc. I am sure that you Michael, having encountered this kind of artificially induced suffering first hand are aware that this die-out is not entirely natural, unless you include conspiracy for mass murder as also part (the shadowy part) of the natural order.
I'm not saying that death is unnatural but premature death or murder is another matter.
"In this light, dying and death are simply completion of the offering cycle."
How does immortality fit into this picture? Is it a selfish act of holding onto the life force or can it also be an offering, a form of completion?
