The Quest for Serenity
It has been established that all humans in any particular given life time
carry with them loads of baggages from their past lives and experiences. The journey through the current
life must have a cornucopia of events that will invariably settle, cancel or alter each individual’s karmic debts.
The purpose of life then becomes to seek the mission of each soul at any given moment in life and strive
to achieve emotional and physical equilibrium. This is no easy task as there is no blue print of instructions on what the actual
individual mission is or the directions or recipes that must be followed to accomplish the goal.
Every
day, I find the creator of life’s processes more and more intriguing as a character, object or subject.
Life is full of ironies and incongruity. How does one accomplish a task successfully without instructions
and no time frame? One does not always know when one is on the right track or when the mission has been
accomplished. It is obviously a lot of fun to play the guessing game but it becomes cumbersome and utterly
confusing, not to mention frustrating on occasion.
The grand master plan as it relates to each individual
script is somewhat likened to our individual scripts within our immediate families and is generally interconnected to the
main family trees but is yet so separated. We develop the skills for our scripts from the basic knowledge
and experiences available in our families. Some contend that prior to our current physical existence; we
were in the general free form – unbounded, limitless, infinite and all knowing.
In that boundless state, one would be fully informed of all options; circumstances,
decisions and consequences; and would possess the full power, capability and abilities to make informed choices.
Being as so stated (in heaven or outer space), we each consciously decided (or were required) to perfect our existence
by creating our scripts to capture all the necessary experiences needed to finish and graduate through the circles of life.
To
that end, we incarnate into living human beings on our missions. Are we really completely privy to the effects the master
plan (if such exist) could have on our personal script? One can argue that we could not be charged to develop such scripts
without fore knowledge; lest one’s script is counter productive or contrary to the master plan.
On the other hand, if the actual intention is to put us to test and for us to learn the consequences of digression
or transgression; then we would not be privy to the master plan. Since there must be a basis for
the great expectation that one should come up with a worthy plan; one must first have had prior revelation of the truth (the
master plan); otherwise it would be an irrational expectation.
Of course, if the expectation
is just for one to falter and fail and learn the consequences of various decisions and actions; then this leaves a questionable
rationale. What is the real purpose of life? Are we going through these lessons and
exercises to become better humans? If the world is just a temporary stage, then what is the point of becoming
human at all?
Do we need these lessons to become better souls in the cosmic realm?
If that is the case, why can’t we just stay in the free form and learn these lessons? If it so happens that it is necessary
to take a physical form to fully manifest and appreciate these levels of experiences and lessons; then it stands to reason
that we do reincarnate in various physical forms, several times over centuries prior to the grand graduation and mastery of
the master plan.
In that case, one could not possibly reincarnate in the same particular physical
form each time (eg. Man, woman, white, black, Chinese, Indian etc) and achieve all the necessary karmic experiences in totality. It is easy for
one to achieve a level of understanding, emotional transformation, telecommuting, empathy, projection etc on occasion but
that can never equate to living the total and complete experience as one person while being in the physical form of another.
In effect, you can never be me; you can only be like me regardless of how close you come. Experiencing
one or some of my experiences and feelings will only give you pretty good insights into me; but you can never capture my true
essence or all my thoughts, experiences and all my relationships to those experiences. No experience can be discounted
as inconsequential to the big picture because no earthling has the qualifications to make that determination.
When we can, we have then figured life out. Therefore, if you can never be me being
you ( or while you are you); then it stands to reason that we have to reincarnate as particular different physical forms to
capture all the experiences, feelings and limitations of each specific physical form. The question is how
relevant is the physical form? Can one experience all possible human emotions without taking the various
human physical appearances?
I guess it is possible to experience a variety of humanness while in a particular
physical form but one will still be bounded and limited by that physical form, time, place, gravity etc. Even
when one has the powers to transcend certain levels of limitations; one cannot transcend all levels and still remain human.
To be human is to be limited and to know all human, you have to be all human in as many life times as it takes. It
is not possible to complete the human experience in one life time.

Predators and the Law
The legal system is busy prosecuting minor and non-violent petty criminals
while dropping the ball on violent criminals. They cut ridiculous deals with predators because they feel
the charges are too weak to prosecute yet they are prosecuting weaker petty crimes and jamming up the jail system.
Everyone
knows the predators are transients who never stay in one place and the government does not have enough manpower and resources
to keep the necessary close watch on the variety of offenders. Even if and when the predators do go to
jail; they do minor times and get released into the community till their next crime. Next crime is almost
a sure thing. I am not advocating letting petty criminals off; but there are many other ways to punish
them than sending them to jail or prison.
It does not require Einstein to know that a petty thief is hungry and needs a job. Prison or jail
will provide food and shelter at tax payers’ expense. Such criminals should receive guidance counseling,
vocational assessments and appropriate training on the job or at vocational schools. They should be placed
in employment for the government in the communities or in programs including the juvenile or prison systems.
This way they become responsible productive tax paying citizens who are no longer wasting law enforcement time
and resources committing minor infractions. This leaves the jail house space for hardened criminals. Incidentally,
small time criminals have higher chances of learning and perfecting their skills inside the prison walls and they come out
more menacing to societies. They loose their fear of the jail system.
This
is counterproductive since the original intention of the prison system was to scare criminals straight. Any
reported and investigated predator should do some serious time in prison. While in there, they ought to
receive individualized assessments, counseling therapy and group sessions. These will help to determine which
ones need medication to function; which ones are beyond redemption and should be locked up for life or at least, castrated.
The other ones must be released to halfway and three quarter way houses where they are monitored permanently like many mentally
ill.
This must be seen as the illness it is. Some can be cured.
Some can be controlled with medications and the rest are hopeless cases and must be castrated if we have to release
them to the communities. I am a victim of multiple molestation abuse by various predators who look normal and lead normal lives
while prowling under cover.
I have lived and worked with predators and victims.
One thing I know is that the family members should be held responsible for the crime of negligence. How
do you not know that your husband is a predator and a murderer? People need to open their eyes to what
is going on under their noses. Many times, the predators make many mistakes, begging to be caught but no
one is paying attention. Going back to when the predators were young children; the parents must notice
that something is not quite right with their child, to intervene and get them help before it is too late.
Parents of children with physical and medical disabilities notice, no matter how minute the problem is.
Why can the others not see something this ominous looming with their children? It is the responsibility
of the parents to seek proper care for their sick ones and ensure the safety of others around them.
So in effect, I am advocating
treatment from an early age or holding the parents culpable. I am advocating permanent lock up in prison
or community houses with medication and counseling treatment. I am advocating instant castration upon release
to the community, for anyone that molested a child less than 18 years of age but especially younger children.
Those that murder their victims must meet the same fate of death penalty with no exception. With these
options on the table, the incidents of child predators will decrease drastically and even stop after a period.
This issue has become a ridiculous epidemic.
