You should feel no remorse in thinking of them as that which should no longer exist.

ARE you trying to say you get my avatar????
I'm starting to wonder why you were so derisive toward me in your first post, when out pops your deamon, and lo & behold, we think alike. Man, your a sly one! And you like a low profile, I notice, but will kick a little dust in someone's eye when you think it may serve some beneficial purpose (keep visine handy, everybody). Nothing like admiring your enemies. Don Juan said, "When two sorcerers enter a house, only one comes out."
Red is humanity; the wolves are, well, ALL the wolves at the door; and of course, they're hungry!
That is really funny. I have posted two replies and now that counts as everything, cool. Sorry that I don't agree with everything you say or believe. Perhaps it is just that you have found fault in everything I have said? Valid Question considering you have not addressed any of the points I make regarding your link. The one about a fictional story that was made into a movie.

Not being funny atlasastro but I think you could find fault in practically anything.
The Link you provided clearly show a Philosopher discussing the philosophy of a MOVIE. That is all. If it fits your belief fine. But appealing to a higher authority means little and smacks of those prone to thumping a bible when questioned.
The link I posted clearly indicated that we are restricted in many ways. I do not know who has imposed these restrictions on us but I suspect that behind it is a malevolent force/s.
I have no problem with that. You have to be prepared to have these beliefs tested! As by the very expressing of your belief is surely bound to interest others into testing the truth of what they believe.
It is realisation of these restrictions which I believe can liberate the individual.
You need to see the chains that bind each of us in order to release oneself from them. I have had insights into the potential that exists up there and what I see on this reality does not tally with how I know it could be.
I have not asked for evidence, and have merely discussed your opinion and expressions on these matters as I know that such discussion are always founded in assumptions, beliefs, interpretations of experiences in existences, their meaning or significance and the philosophies derived from such relating to an overall explanation for our being and existing. I believe I am being honest in my attempt at understanding and defining what seems abstract and remote beliefs that lay outside our concrete human experiences.
Sure I have no evidence of this but deep down I know it based on my exposure to the universal consciousness. (just another name, there are many I admit), and many other instances of contact.
What many don't realise is that we are being held back by those who KNOW they cannot enter the light. The human species has advanced very little because of this problem. And it is a real problem. I know because these very forces often try to distract/prevent me from connecting to the universal consciousness.
I am not going to pretend to understand the natural energy of the universe, we as humans barely understand the mechanics of nature at all, let alone what drives it. What I do know is, we all feed of it. All of us. And everything. Not just the bad, but the Good to. And you can't be one without the other.
You have to understand how chi energy works in order to understand that they feed off of it, the energy buys them time, the more they feed off of it the longer they continue to cause distress in the world, and believe me being prevented from reaching the source is a distressful experience.

If you are asking why am I angry...

[from Don Juan]
"This is a time for the Warrior to hide. It is strategic, especially when all good things in the world are hiding. Eventually, the war between the Vulture [Eagle/Hawk/&c] and the Dragon will produce the magnificent hidden beast of transformation, called the Phoenix. The Vulture and the Dragon are warring beasts. The Phoenix is a beast of the reconciliation of extreme opposites...This war produces the perception of the world. The Vulture freezes the world into its microscopic components of entanglement, while the dragon melts the world into its macroscopic components of the movement of energy. It is the meeting of the Nagual [Dragon] and the Tonal [Vulture], Beingness and Placeness.
"The physical body is a product of such a union. It is part place and part being, part Tonal and part Nagual. The Dragon moves in to unify while the Vulture fragments and freezes to maintain the status quo [concensus reality]. Imagine the force that would hold the destruction of the universe to its breast and you will be able to imagine a war that forms the Universes upon Universes that is caught up in that interplay of opposites. They are so caught up in that war that it is hard to discern the two distinct beasts. They eat each other up so that their perception is not so distinct.
"The Phoenix is a composite beast that constantly lives to die and dies to live in order to transform through a variety of states that can melt for temporary excursions or solidify to maintain a variety of transformations within a particular setting. The Phoenix is the great Sunbird whose likeness and image all sentient being have been modeled upon. It flies to its own destruction to be born again. This is the dance to Freedom that is embodied in the general state of all individual sentient beings.
"Your plasmic body must go through several more transitions until it is strong enough to stand upon its own. It is still incomplete.
"The electrical bolts continued as Don Juan left off at this idea. Within the strength of those electrical bolts I sensed the strength of the place upon the mushroom formation of rocks. In that moment we were back where we started once again. Don Juan continued in conventional language.
"....The Unknowable is the beast that the Toltecs, the Old Seers, created out of the residual energy of disposed personal history that was not properly taken care of. It was the energy of the holes in their cocoons. It was also the energy of what caused those holes. Take care of all your beasts or else they will rip you apart with all your own energy."
("Scales of the Dragon," A.Dragon)
[from Quetzalcoatl]
"It is the atoms of your own physical body that serves as the formed substance of dreams, worlds, Solar Systems, Galaxies, Universes and Dimensions. The Will is the instrument that organizes atoms into gateways to experience such things."
("Scales of the Dragon," A.Dragon)
As we have told you, there are seven levels of density which involves, among other things, not only state of being physically, spiritually and etherically, and materially, but also, more importantly, state of awareness. You see, state of awareness is the key element to all existence in creation. You have undoubtedly remembered that we have told you that this is, after all, a grand illusion, have you not? So, therefore, if it is a grand illusion, what is more important, physical structure or state of awareness???
....Now, when we go from the measuring system, which of course has been nicely formulated so that you can understand it, of density levels one through seven, the key concept, of course, is state of awareness. All the way through. So, once you rise to a higher state of awareness, such things as physical limitation evaporate. And, when they evaporate, vast distances, as you perceive them, become nonexistent. So, just because you are unable to see and understand has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on what is or is not possible. Except within your own level of density. And this is what almost no one on your current level of density is able to understand. If you can understand it and convey it to them, you will be performing the greatest service that your kind has ever seen. Think about that for a moment. Let it seep into your consciousness. Analyze it. Dissect it. Look at it carefully and then put it back together again.
(by Laura Knight-Jadczyk)
cassiopaea (Chapter 42)
The Unfolding Moment (Chptr. 8)
"Being, the capstone of ontological development, is a precise state of consciousness where creativety emanates from each and every instant. Being supercedes all models about it: whether the model is quantum physics or metaphysical cosmology, it falls to the wayside when you are actually in the moment. Being is a point from which you access infinity.
"...[Martin Heidegger]...considers being as a "unitary phenomenon" and states that to study it we must define an ontological world that includes "being-in-the-world." With this grounding, Heidegger, then declares that the new significant relationship of being enables us to transcend the worldly nature of life. Yet he outlines being as consisting of oneness and the necessity to understand this from the point of view of daily life. Only then can we transcend this baseline state."

Point taken I'll take a step back from the point of your perspective. But just as you have put it ie what if someone lived to 200, or 800 hundred years well I have and much more. That is why I am angered. I should have said 'I am angry and have every right to be'. But your right this anger does have weight and for this reason I do not allow it to cross into my field of awareness too much during meditation.
Besides I think enlightment is relative.
To be angry at people means that one considers their acts to be important. It is imperative to cease to feel that way. The acts of men cannot be important enough to offset our only viable alternative: our unchangeable encounter with infinity.
The Teachings of Don Juan
The things that people do cannot under any conditions be more important than the world. And thus a warrior treats the world as an endless mystery and what people do as an endless folly.
A Separate Reality
The world of people goes up and down and people go up and down with their world; warriors have no business following the ups and downs of their fellow men.
The Second Ring of Power
People's actions no longer affect a warrior when he has no more expectations of any kind. A strange peace becomes the ruling force in his life. He has adopted one of the concepts of a warrior's life -- detachment.
The Eagle's Gift
Self-importance is man's greatest enemy. What weakens him is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of his fellow men. Self-importance requires that one spend most of one's life offended by something or someone.
The Fire From Within
The thrust of the warriors' way is to dethrone self-importance. And everything warriors do is directed toward accomplishing this goal.
The Power of Silence
Shamans have unmasked self-importance and found that it is self-pity masquerading as something else.
