What Mischief We Are Capable Of?

A life-form is also unity of life, interacting with every other life-form in context of Oneness; it is engaged even before it has come into the world in a web of events, cause and effect which go back beyond mists of time; already certain impressions good or bad have left their mark; It is driven by these influences and in real time and place.
Killing By Other Means©
The man was a convict’s son. The king of that mountain kingdom drove him out and said,” Your father ended his life at a rope’s end. We fear for your life. You may do much mischief if we let you a free run among us.” The man went off.
Yes he was a convict’s son. He came from a community given to depradate travelers. His folks lived in environs of a mountain pass and targeted merchants who passed their way. He dared not go back to the hills infested with bandits.” I shall also die as my forefathers!” he cried and went instead to the plains.
It was the time the Church was all too powerful and their priests were listened to. He was sure that he would turn a new leaf. He found refuge in a monastery where he served on the monks and slowly became one of them. Brother Anselmo showed himself as a man of God and had a large following that thought the grace of God indeed dwelt upon him.
When the Pope called the faithfuls to join the crusade and free Jerusalem from the infidels, Brother Anselmo exhorted tirelessly to recruit volunteers. So many joined up trusting on the stirring words of Anselmo.
Many of these who went into foreign lands never returned. No one ever realized the number of innocents were sent to their death by Anselmo. He never had to pay for his guilt. He died as a holy man.
Brother Anselmo knew how to make use of his time and ride the temper of his times.

W11 D2- A Contextual Problem

I shall further explain Cosmic Mind from its relevance to us in particular. Our mind is something more than our body and brain combined. ( Eyes look but in order to see they would require specific areas located in the brain. Similar the ears hear words but in order to understand once again the brain holds the key.) Our physical body is all wired, cavities and solids, colloids and fluids are part and parcel of the same reality that describes us. Without lungs or air to breathe what would we be? If you look closer we shall see we are connected and dependent on something else. It can go on and on.
In short our reality hangs on something else and so on. Some of us are susceptible to pollens in the air, and suffer hay fever: a sad reality that in turn owes to the reality of spring in the air. Seasons owe to the way our planet is tilted in terms of our sun. I could go on and on but it is not to my purpose to be a bore.
Can we like Canute of old draw a line to say,’ No more further. You intrude?’

A material universe has invested its matter in life forms: What makes our form has left its thumbprints all over the universe that a life form cannot fail to notice it. A context. It gives us as well as aliens an orientation around which every problem may be solved. This context provides us certain clues to the nature of Oneness. The problem is how efficient are we to make it all work together?
We are used to solve our problems in a certain manner so in order to be used to space living in Mars or Jupiter we consider ‘terraforming’ as an option. By the same token an alien will be constrained to make the Earth adapt to its requirements in order to live here. Yes indeed! Just as we function with the Earth as our context, aliens will need their own context to relate to earth conditions. Aliens as well as the humans exhibit the characteristic of material make up.
A Martian is no more well positioned than man in the context of Oneness. A context is the vehicle for any life form to look closer to its set up.
