The
doom all started 2000 years ago
A philosophy came into
the world. Three hundred years later, the rulers of the
Roman Empire realised that the submissiveness of this
philosophy made it easier to control their people. It
was therefore elevated to the status of state religion
on 27 March 380. This religion would later be
called Christianity.
Symbolic starting capital of
the state religion: 1 USD
How much has this
capital grown in the 1,700 years up to the present day?
And who owns it anyway?
.
Who owns $1.9 trillion?

Why is there actually
something and not just nothing?
It is undisputed that
something is there and not just nothing, otherwise we
would not be there either. Since something is there,
there has never been absolutely nothing, because if
there had ever been absolutely nothing, it would always
have remained that way. After all, there would then, of
course, have been no possibility of this state ever
changing, because even the slightest possibility would
already be more than nothing. A SOMETHING has therefore
always been there, because if this SOMETHING had come
into being, there would have been absolutely (without
exception) nothing before it and it would always have
remained that way.
However, why hasn't there been
nothing without exception
and why did it not remain so?

Nothing can be
lost irrevocably!
After all,
where should it all go? Things cannot dissolve into
absolutely nothing! That's what you see in all kinds of
sciences. There is no single observation, measurement,
or calculation that would allow for a different
probability.
3.5 billion years ago, life united with the inanimate on
earth to form the first cell. 1.5 billion years later,
evolution brought death into life. Dying is not a part
of life, but a method of evolution.
The pattern of infinity brings to
light (roughly) the complex circumstances of how
suffering came into this world, why death appears to us
as a reality even though nothing can be lost
irrevocably, and that evolution can stop pretending that
there is death if we realise that we cannot really be
dead.

Baptism:
Water
is poured over an infant's head. The shock-like
discomfort caused by the cold water, the separation
from the mother as the baby is handed to the
godfather, and the unfamiliar surroundings give the
infant with a feeling of helplessness. This feeling
associates inseparably with the sound of the bell
ringing during this ceremony to form a psychological
impression which becomes ingrained in the
subconscious.
The
bell tower:
Later
in life: Depending on how sensitive you are every
sound of the bell activates in the subconscious the
feeling of helplessness. A primitive version of this
method is used on pastures with cowbells and
cows!

50 years ago, the
Club of Rome published the Limits to Growth
.
On a planet
that itself does not grow,
any system based on growth will sooner or later
exceed its natural limits..
.
Nature
progresses at a constant pace. The moon is revolving
around the earth at the same speed as it always has.
Just like the earth is orbiting the sun and the sun is
revolving in our solar system. The pace of biology has
also always remained the same. Grass is not growing
any faster than ever before, pregnancies have always
lasted 9 months. The pace of nature has remained the
same since the beginning of times. Only man is
constantly increasing the pace, because his economic
and financial system, which is based on unnatural
growth, will die if it fails to constantly accelerate.
As a result, we are encroaching on our habitat faster
than it can balance itself out. And all of this just
because we believe we can reach our destination
faster! What destination?
We ourselves are the destination! I you
he she it we you they are the goal.

We don't
have any second Earth.
By exponentially stepping up the pace
in our lives, we are pushing nature out of balance.
Nature can no longer regenerate at the same rate as
humans intervene. The liveable area on this planet is
shrinking more and more. Centuries of astronomy have
provided the certainty that there is no other planet
worth living on in our solar system. 65 years of space
travel has shown that we cannot reach other solar
systems within a conceivable future. The future does
not lie in the stars, but in this world of ours and
within each and every single one of us. And everything
that exists is complementary. Every advantage also
harbours a disadvantage. That is why even with the
help of technology we cannot rise above ourselves and
our Earth. The fate of the Earth also is our fate. We
are all in the same boat. We don't have any second
Planet Earth.
