Eating a kale salad for lunch. With quinoa on the side, & slices of raw milk Swiss cheese. Mmmmm. &...trying, as always, to pinpoint what is wrong with Survivalism.Some thoughts:
*The excessive Survivalist preoccupation with physical survival supersedes the call of Spirit, & stifles growth on that level.
*The excessive Survivalist preoccupation with logic & control supersedes the creative/intuitive/spiritual aspects of Mind. The trouble with this is that intuition is almost always correct, but never logical. By its very nature, the creative/intuitive side of Mind cannot be anticipated, controlled or planned for. It is spontaneous, immediate & cannot be quantified. It is also the truest & best survival resource we have.
*Religion & spiritual thought almost universally preach against killing, yet Survivalism places great emphasis on firearms & the use of deadly force to insure one's own survival.
*Survivalism's extreme preoccupation with personal physical survival works against any notion of societal/community survival. This is a fatal flaw. Without true human love & compassion for one another, a viable society cannot exist. Community requires self-sacrifice in order to remain cohesive. Herein lies the rub: As humans, it is in our higher nature to sacrifice for the greater good. To even sacrifice our lives, if necessary. & there is nothing wrong with that - self-sacrifice is a noble & heroic way to exit the earthly playing field.
One conclusion:
*A true Survivalist will incorporate the spiritual aspects of existence into their life & place equal emphasis on logical & intuitive thought. Utilizing both aspects of Mind allows for true adaptability, & also for fulfillment in the NOW. It may also lead to one's demise...but the true Survivalist must accept their place in the greater scheme of things, and understand that Spirit dictates life.
