Slut Walk

There is an event known as Slut Walk which is due to happen in Adelaide.

When a certain person I knew found out about this he said in a surprised tone

"What demon organised that?"

He automatically assumed from the title that some clever demon organised it, so that there would be an excuse to see women walk around in revealing clothing....

Takes a demon to know a demon of course :P

In cultures where both genders are raised from birth wearing very little, or nothing, its really no big deal. People have gone crazy in this culture, even though many think they are more evolved then in the Victorian era... well if they were so, then why would the prospect of seeing someone in "skimpy" clothing be so exciting? Why do people enjoy lame "strip shows"?

The whole purpose of the Slut Walk is to help reduce "victim blaming" as they say, women should be able to wear whatever they want and not be blamed or labeled wrongly for it. It is those who commit the crimes who are the bad ones, not the women in skimpy clothing.

Despite being a woman, I think the whole idea is stupid.

Here is what I think:

If one is raped or sexually abused by a male it is because it is a karmic potential that has ripened that has come about due to past actions... in that sense, any victim of ANYTHING should always consider why they are a victim... if one knows of natural law and that it is completely just, and that one receives exactly what they deserve... then how is going to do a walk/protest - going to stop these sorts of things?

Is a walk/protest the right remedial measure to avert the negative karma developing of having to experience being raped/abused????

No, of course not!

If one has created such a situation for themselves due to their activities in past lives, that is due to happen in the future, then one must work on doing remedial measures of some kind. Educating people on the proper remedial measures, surely is more helpful then leading them blindly into some protest.

There is a lot of arrogance nowadays with women thinking they can go around doing whatever they want, regardless of their place/role within the natural scheme of things.

If a man is unable to self-control his Penis, as he is so low and driven by impulses he cannot control, then why would you as a woman, want to place yourself in the vicinity of such creatures? It doesn't make much sense to me. Obviously the major place these creatures hang about is any seedy type place, as it matches their energy so they are attracted there.

One doesn't go into shark infested waters and expect that the sharks are not going to try and eat them just because they make a big song and dance about not blaming the victim!

There are beings out there that really want to harm others, and so one always has to be cautious, because most of us here have probably done lots of horrible things to other beings in many lifetimes, and who knows when those karmas may ripen!

If you want to reach males likely to commit rape/abuse and to stop it, then the education system needs to change, people need to be properly educated on how to use their sexual energy in a healthy way from a young age. And of course the whole society would have to completely change, so all the other deprived aspects are removed.

The other factor to consider is the propensity for the "hunt", which is an archetypal part of masculine psychology. A lot of Pagan cultures were well aware of this and incorporated this theme within rituals to give it ritualistic expression and relieve the burden of repression of it which might lead to people harming others.

Many people in human birth still have strong patterning from previous animal births etc...  so these urges need to be properly dealt with. The use of ritual dance story myth etc is a way to constructively give these energies expression without them causing ruin.

The other thing is when a person says "you know maybe you shouldn't wear that dress because it might attract the wrong kind of guy, or, maybe you shouldn't go out and get drunk and put yourself in a vulnerable position... " it can also be because of a kind of care towards the person, it's not always because of blaming the potential victim, its more about making sure that a person takes proper precautions to keep themselves "safe".

Surely there is nothing good about harming others in anyway... but there are ways that harm can be minimised from both the potential "victims" end as well as the "attackers" end.

The aim should be in both cases to reduce the negative harmful karmas between individuals, through cultivating more positive and wholesome ones.... when one stops attempting to be the central enjoying agent, and if this is taught to people early on, then it will become second nature for everyone to question any unwholesome urges that may arise in ones being.

Nature V's Suburbs...

Recently spent some time at Cape Jervis.

Slept under the stars which was really nice, out in the open air, was a bit windy, and the stars make it hard for me to sleep, cause there is that bright cool luminous shinning feeling I get inside my forehead.

At one stage I woke up, and the Galactic Center was right over head, so I tried to focus on that in between waking up and sleeping again.

I am missing being able to see Pleiades in the sky at night, the Sun is getting closer, at least soon Vega should be visible again!

This time it really left such an impression on me, the environment there, so much so when I returned to where I live I couldn't get the trees out of my mind, and I almost felt some sort of psychic connection with the place. It was a really heavy and earthy impression to it.

I also realised how wonderful it is to be completely challenged, and forgo the comfort of that which was familiar, I think for the first time I really began to enjoy that, it does feel more like living.

Watching a Rosella bird that liked to come to eat seeds, I noticed how it could never eat in peace, it would take a few nibbles and quickly look around to make sure there was no danger or threat... then I thought about how fake it is for humans, sitting around in their houses, totally complacent, especially when they are lounging around and drinking alcohol, or some other drug, with no sense that there is anything to be cautious or alert about.

The more prospect for danger there is, the more potential there is for death to occur at any moment, the more precious the opportunity of human birth becomes.

It's also so much better washing out doors and letting the sunlight also clean the body, rather then being inside with a shower, in a bathroom which just develops mould and mildue, and closed in by four walls.

It takes me longer to do things, because I need to use different methods out in nature, but there is also less things that need to be done, so in the end there is still more time to pursue spiritual activities, once the daily maintenance/survival issues are taken care of.
