Unethical companies just want to make as much money as they can by catering to what people want to eat. People need to check who makes a product and if the company concerned is a subsidiary of one of the unethical companies.
Almost 90% of what we eat is unethical grown so we may well
all starve if we want to be ethical.
Take the olive oil.
Thousand of years ago where now we got olive trees there was a
rainforest inhabited by countless animals.
The grains that we eat also come from places once covered by rainforests.
The place where YOU live was once covered in forest with wild
animals roaming around looking for a pray to kill and eat.
Would you like to go elsewhere to live and let the old forest
regenerate with carnivorous animals around?
I understand how concern you are about palm oil.
I am also concern about the destruction of our planet earth
but at the same time i think we got to deal with these problems
by prioritize what need to be done first.
Corruption is how the system works at the moment.
The big companies that destroy the forests in order to plant
palm oil always go through a system of corrupted activities.
They wouldn't care less what you or me think about the forests.
The only way to stop these evil is to change the whole system.
Indira Gandhi tried to kill Sarkar after she put him in jail for
promoting his Prout system that would have put an end to corruption.
For prioritize i mean to do what can really change the rot.
Awareness is very good but a change of system is a lot better.

It is like the iceberg.
The small size that we are aware of is the one above the water.
The bigger part below the water is the one which we are not yet aware of.
Quote:This is just using a metaphor to explain what it's like. It still doesn't explain what it actually is. I agree with you about it being like the iceberg, though, and modern science is backing this view up.
To be fully conscious and fully spiritual you would be like God
but as far as you don't believe in God there is no need to go any further
along these lines.
We only use a tiny amount of consciousness and with this tiny amount we often think that we know a lot.
Consciousness come and go according what we think and do.
We can get more or we can lose what we have.
Consciousness make you aware of what you really are so it is the discovery of your real self.

Quote:I've used Jungian psychology for around 30 years because it's a useful tool for a brain like mine. It's obviously worked because I'm still an atheist even after meeting Apollo in a dream and having a subjective experience of The Goddess the other day.
If what you are doing works for you keep on doing that.
Quote:I don't believe in reincarnation because I've never come across any real evidence for it in spite of subjective experiences which I've been told were flashbacks to previous lives. You can blame my use of Jungian psychology for that opinion.
I was reading that 3% of Americans had NDE experiences.
Many of them were atheists.
Now they have no doubt that there is a afterlife and God is there.
You shouldn't really worry whether afterlife or God is there or not.
Sometime it takes time to put all the pieces that form the puzzle
together.
The time will sort out all the problems.

Ahhh, yes. That ol' "consciousness we are not yet aware of."
I don't think you know what consciousness means.
Gee, how did you know that i don't know?
I know how smart and intelligent you are.
Please explain to me what consciousness is.
I promise i will cover you with thousand of kudos.
