HUMAN FAILURES

THROUGHOUT THE BRIEF HISTORY OF HUMANITY THE SECRET INTENTION OF BEINGS WHO WISH TO CONTROL HUMAN ACTIVITY, I.E. THE SELF ANOINTED ECONOMIC, RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL AND MILITARY “LEADERS” OF HUMAN “CIVILIZATION”, IS TO SUSTAIN SELF-SERVING AND SELF-DESTRUCTIVE CONTROL OF MINDS AND BODIES THROUGH SECRECY, SUPERSTITION AND BRUTALITY.  THE RESULTING SUPPORT OF “LEADERS” BY “FOLLOWERS” IS THAT EVERY HUMAN CIVILIZATION ON EARTH WAS FORMED, DECAYED AND DISAPPEARED WITHIN ONLY A FEW HUNDRED OR A FEW THOUSAND YEARS: A BLINK OF THE COSMIC EYE.

THE GLOBAL NETWORK OF PREHISTORIC PYRAMIDS, AND RELATED STONE MONOLITHS, INDICATE THE USE OF “ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY” BY MYSTERIOUS BUILDERS WHO DISAPPEARED AGES AGO. DEVASTATION OF EARTH USING SIMILAR “ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY”, WHETHER BY DESIGN OR IGNORANCE, IS GUIDING THE HUMAN ANIMAL TOWARD EXTINCTION.

THE ONLY CONSTANT IN THIS UNIVERSE IS CHANGE. AS INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUAL BEINGS THERE ARE NO “LEADERS” TO GUIDE US THROUGH THE REST OF ETERNITY EXCEPT OURSELVES.

BEST SELLERS ABOUT UNTOUCHABLES

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

india slumsI am very careful about the books I read, and who wrote them, and published them, and why.   I read a lot of books.  Not many novels.  Mostly non-fiction.   However, I started reading Shantaram after I did a lot of research about the author, Gregory David Roberts, and read parts of the book on the internet.  I bought the book because I think the author is an excellent writer, who escaped from a  20-year prison sentence in Australia fled to Bombay (Mumbai) where he lived for many years in the slums with the “untouchables” of India.  He spent most of his time as a solitary nurse treating the injuries and illnesses of his neighbors with a first aid kit in own his tiny hovel.  He never charged money.  He also sold drugs and worked for gangsters to earn a modest living while still in hiding as an escaped convict.  Later, the author was captured in Germany and completed serving his 20 year prison sentence.

What the novel Shantaram reveals about shantaramthe slums and ghettos of Mumbai is something that most Americans don’t know because nobody ever talks about “untouchables”! Poor people are “invisible” to the “upper classes”, i.e. people who earn more than a few dollars a day.   Sixty percent of the 20 million citizens of Mumbai live on only 6% of the land, within a stones throw of the wealthiest people in India. The oppressive disparity of wealth, health services and housing between the rich and poor is an issue in the U.S. and around the world, but most visible and extreme in Mumbai.

ALIEN INTERVIEW, edited by Lawrence R. SpencerI have known many very poor people from the slums of the southern states in the U.S..  They are the same kind of “untouchables” as the people who live in the slums of India.  These are the rapidly growing population of the private prison system in the U.S..  I am reading Shantaram because it is a novel about “untouchables”, written by a convict who also a nurse, a philosopher and an artist with the English language.  Alien Interview It was written by a nurse, dictated to her by an alien philosopher about “untouchables”, who are the entire population of prison planet Earth.   — Lawrence R.
