Human violence: understanding it; ending it : Comments

By Robert Burrowes, published 10/10/2013

Why does fear prevent an 'intelligent' individual acting on sound evidence? There are many reasons.

any..corrections..of fact..not post style..appreciated

mind..is split..into..at least.. three.;.levels
that..of the..super-conscious,..conscious..and subconscious mind...
Consciousness..is the form..of awareness..as opposed by ...un-consciousness

the sub-conscious..is the emotive..[fear/hate]..
the remembrance..[as opposed to..the memory]..that recalls..the way..to the means..
to repeat..or avoid..previous..fruits..of action..[of mean..by means]

[doing..this..*last time..made my hunger end]
[doing that..hurt me..that/thing..is..
that/looks like..i am hungry[etc]
the mundane..[sensual]

then..there is the..awareness..[visualization]
noticing..change..[miracle]..on top of that..is revelation..[audible visualizations..[revelatory imaginary]

"Consciousness is..the receptive mechanism,..
receiving messages from above..or below;..[from inside..and without]..from the Holy Spirit..or the beast or ego..[id]

Consciousness..has levels..
and awareness..can shift quite dramatically,..but..it cannot transcend..the perceptual realm's

"Revelation..unites you..directly with God.
Miracles unite..you directly with..your brother.
Neither emanates..from consciousness,..but both are experienced there.

Consciousness is..the state..that induces action,
though it..does not..inspire it."

The/truth..of who we are..is obscured by..our thoughts
about who.;.we think we are,..based on others..[reactions..to perceptions of us..and our..[projection..of ego's perceptions..of ourselves,

http://abcacim.org/blog/

When..a miracle..is performed..one literally changes the/course of both..space and time,as if..the malady never occurred,..IT.never existed;..one only believed..[believed/perceived]..it did..[in errantly]..for..a short period..*in time.

Allopathic..and holistic practitioners..alike typically/deal consciously..guided..by the super-conscious..with
the external.manipulation of matter..to heal matter.

Some..practitioners manipulate..sub-conscious..via the acupunctural, chakra,..and astral energies...to heal matter...A Course in Miracles teaches..one to heal matter..and ultimately..transcend matter altogether..by literally becoming..at-one with the..infinite field of causal..energy itself.

[supreme..otherness conscious]
[goodly-otherness devotion]..[or god..for short]

All three/levels..of healing
physical,/astral,/and proto-causal..are nevertheless useful and vital,..and can be employed..in unison to treat illness

This is..much more/than just..mind over matter...
super-conscious/Mind..knows not..of fear,..nor..what means sickness,poverty,unhappiness,or death;..for it..is the source..of all love,..health,..abundance,..peace,..and life.

Tony Lavas'

It is illegal to make guns at home but all that that law has done is make it extremely hard for the law-abiding to make their own, they now have to jump through many legalistic hoops; criminals, on the other hand, have no such problems and concentrate on the manufacture of sub-machine guns, if newspaper reports of prosecutions are anything to go by. It is worth remembering that the world's best sub-machine gun, the Owen, was a development of the backyard shed work of Australia's Evelyn Owen.

My little example of shooting the Browning pistol was merely to illustrate the speed with which a pistol may be fired accurately, even by one who is not fast.

"Am I supposed to be impressed Is Mise, that you put holes in a piece of cardboard?
I'm not...sorry...

Non-violent people don't need guns unless they are in the military in a war zone, or they are law enforcement officers.
Anyone else holding a gun is just a child playing "cowboys and Indians".
Yee hah and giddy up...!"

You are not supposed to be impressed at all, I was merely illustrating that a person who is not fast with a pistol can still shoot fast.
It was partly to educate you on what can be done with an ordinary pistol.
Have you any idea just how fast an ordinary revolver can be drawn and fired?

Don't you think that my friend in New Guinea had need of his pistol?

Is Mise, I am sorry for being sarcastic.

I do understand that some people love shooting as a sport.
I will always hate guns, for personal reasons.

Using them as a protection against violence obviously would be handy at the time, but I still believe they should not be in the hands of anyone other than police, military, farmers and at shooting ranges.

It is just a vicious cycle in that if someone has a gun, then someone else will want one 'just in case' they need to protect themselves from the first one.
And so it goes on...

I grew up in the 1970's Susieonline, when the presence of fireams on the stret was taken for granted, and crime was very much lower.

People could own handguns for personnel protection if their employment caused them to carry lare amounts of cash or other valuables. Jewellers and gun shop owners were armed, a situation that I believe still applies today. Bank tellers were also armed, and many of them were former soldiers who were more than happy to shoot it out with any stupid would be bank robber. Bookmakers and people carrying payroll cash were also usually armed with concealed handguns. Naturally, armed robbery was much lower than today. It was even lower in the 1950's when armed robbery was a hanging offence.

School cadets could be seen travelling on buses and trains with Lee Enfield military rifles on their shoulders, and nobody batted an eye. My own high school sported a rifle range for Lee Enfild rifles rebarrelled to .22 calibre, and our school armoury had four fully operational Bren Light machine guns. The legal age for owning a firearm was 16 (with parents permission).

The main restriction on carrying guns on public transport was that the bolts had to be removed from the weapon. This did not apply if the rifle was a lever gun or an automatic. Guns could be rented by the day or the week from Mick Smith's gunstore on George Street, Sydney CBD, every department store sold guns, as did many suburban male hairdressers. Ammunition could be purchased from corner stores and country petrol stations.

Sydney's Central Station at holiday time looked like wartime with thousands of city based shooters standing on platforms with slung rifles and kitbags, all ready to head off to their uncles property in the bush.

But there were no massacres and no school shootings. Kids did not kill kids

That was back in the good ol' days Lego, and I believe violent organised crime gangs were rife in Sydney, even back then?

Do you want a mad, violent society like many areas in the US then Lego?
I don't, and luckily the vast majority of Australians don't want that either..
If they did, our gun laws would be changed.

I doubt this Liberal Government will ever overturn the one good thing Howard did...
