David F. is Correct:

Humans are not genetically programmed to seek a meaning: humans are programmed like any other animal, to survive and multiply. Yes, even to use violence if necessary to achieve those goals.

If we want to find a meaning and self-realisation, we need to overcome the genetic programming of our bodies, not to abide by it.

As for the article:

What is the measure of a human being? its length in centimetres, its weight in kilograms, the strength of its muscles, the number of neurons in its brain, etc.

Therapy does not create self awareness: all it can do is to change unpleasant feelings into more pleasant ones.

<<Imagine, then, a planet populated by powerfully Self-aware individuals who live in harmony with themselves, with others and with nature.>>

That's only the author's dream: other than exceptional individuals who may be born especially and solely to help others, why would self-aware individuals wish to live on a planet in the first place? The world is populated by those who have not yet arrived at self-realisation (which is the same as God-realisation), who instead believe that they are a body, so that they may use their bodily experiences to learn, especially from their unpleasant experiences.

<<..What is the measure of a human being?>>

there..is no measure..[apart from]
..what we gave..our life-energies..to..doing..[of need or want]
[ie the..good or..ill..we chose to do..[as opposed to that we wished..or planned to d

we have..completely free-will
but..not freedom..to act..[if it hurts..others][or yourself]

the error..of the question..was limiting it..to measure

[we arnt equal..[we each..got..our own/face..
own dna/[own unique voice print..unique smell.
[and we all..taste different]..we got.our own.finger prints..[own handwriting style..own inner voice..own baggage..own face..own..mannerisms..own fears.

we are each unique*

<<..Is it..their wealth?..>>

our wealth..is..this life-GIFT*
[the miracle..of our creation[you..as a sperm..won/the race..to live

your..so unique..god decided
to bless..man*kind..with..the gift..[or grift]..of you

you really are..one in a million

<<..Their wisdom?..>>

even..a fool..can learn..if he wants
but..a fool can learn nothing..but his want

just..as nothing..much..is learned..from a fool

but..a wiseman..can learn..even..from the fool
the fool..learns from..no-one

[or..rather..by..doing alone[life-experiences]
thats why..we are here..to help the fools..learn..;]

without them/then..thinking..they are
studying/learning..anything..beyond what..interests..them

this material-life..is about..awakening our passions
we were..created from..light and..refined by life-passions..fire
[we..been..resisting.the smoke..and mirrors..[clones/drones/cyclones]]..ever since

<<..Their spirituality?>>

understand..our life spirit..comes into..us
and..is within..us..thats why we live..

what we do..as our lifes experience[works/words/thoughts passions ego etc/

THAT BUILDS our..soul-[after..life-body]

that then too..is sustained..its life..
by gods wholly-spirit.animating us..all/our life process

you claim genes..
but god switches on..[activates]..all the physio-logical-process
[if not explain..how you tell;;your cells to divide..or make thy heart..to beat?

god sustains..us our life....to live..of freewill
allows us.to/do as thy will..to reveal our lifes p.assions
KNOWING..the end result..returns back..to him..[set it/free-principle..[in life..we all are..that long lost son..we know..will/soon..come-home.

[thats how..god[in-time]..welcomes us all
[once we try to do..as we..saw jesus..DO*..
[ie love god..by loving other]

who..is not.thy brother?
are we all..not..created equally..of woman
[sustained our very life..of the same..all living all..loving good father..[god]

TOGETHER..we are..the living mortal-heirs..
of our..immortal/infinite omnipresent..important-[impotent]..father..of all creation

<<Is it something..that can..be measured..from the outside?>

how can..we..measure material-mortal..external
when the eternal..immortal..lies within..all?

why measure..the infinite
live it..

<<What if..it is something else..altogether?>>

i enjoy..your questions

but..last post

<<Each human being..is genetically programmed>>to fill-in our own.page..in the book..of gods creations/lives

[we each hold..the personal-witness..of our life experiences
[works],,of the days..of our lives..gifted..of..the infinite good..[god]

love ya bro..any come back?

Each human being is genetically programmed to be part of a self protecting group, Robert Summers. They are genetically programmed to seek a territory and defend that territory and the members of their group against all comers, both two legged and four legged. Members of self protecting groups are prepared to use violence to protect themselves and their territory.

No amount of fairy land thinking can change that. You are thinking like a person with a full belly who has never had to fight to eat and who has led an entirely sheltered and protected life where you think that prosperity is a natural law of nature. It is not. The prosperity which western nations enjoy is unprecedented in human history and you are taking it for granted. You are inventing a philosophy which is only applicable to a Camelot land of endless and unchanging wealth.

The worst thing about this sort of claptrap is that it is usually funded by taxpayers with lower incomes than the navel gazer, & mortgages to pay.

If some people want to waste their lives in some vain chase after some concocted theory, that is fine. However they have no right to call it research, & expect to be funded by the long suffering taxpayer to do it.

Religion and New Age both thrive on fairy tales. Grow up! Recognising reality might not be as much fun, but it is healthier.

…Most people would fall into line behind the dictates of the serving Government, on all aspects of law. Robert Burrowes disbelieves in this norm when confronted by the tax law, choosing instead to dedicate that portion of taxation directly to causes (National and International) that serve peaceful endeavour : One must admire his dedication to the cause of peace, as fanciful as it appears to the casual observer.

…Mr Burrows is no coward. His is a dedicated life intent on serving his short time on Earth in the pursuit of the preservation of civilisation through nonviolent protest to war: A pacifist of true colour and a man putting, in all honesty, his "Money Where his Mouth is"!
