America is Satan

 I know this is a common thing said by parts of the world that disagree with the US Empire and don't want to be part of it. That could be because the people do not want it, or because the leadership does not want to answer to another leadership. But this is just rebellion.

When I say America is Satan I mean that the US is a deceiver and thief that will entice you with lies and rob you of everything.

But how can this be says the US. We have spread freedom and democracy around the world, and improved the lives of billions through technology. We even have people around the world wanting to be American and tearing down walls like the Berlin Wall so they can escape their own leaderships. How can the US be bad? 

Well people in the US may believe this but it misses the point.

Ed Finn on the BBC Radio 4 discussing Future Cities. I'm not listening to it but get the general motivation. It is true that architecture and town planning has a profound influence on the people who live within it. But its all superficial.

I'm only using the metaphors of religion, not being ontological, but God made the world. He gave us everything we need. We have eyes to see, hands to make things, lungs to breathe, the Sun rises each day bring light and warmth, plants grow by themselves giving us food, rains come by themselves, the worms till the soil by themselves, bacteria recycle waste all by them self, and mankind came to be on the planet by itself. The world already has everything we need.

Now with the advent of Agriculture we entered a trap. Populations grew and we could not turn back. Mankind started to enjoy the fruits of its own labour more and more, until now where we have almost lost sight of the natural world that give us everything already.

Now I say that US is the Satan because, like its Hollywood, it fills our lives with fantasies and mirages and makes us lose sight of the truth.

Meditation is an extraordinary practice because it rids us of all this American clutter and returns us to the truth.
