I love this video because it is a message that, to me, reinforces my belief that you and I WILL change this system that is KILLING hundreds of thousands of innocent victims every year.
When I saw that baby water buffalo being dragged into the river, first by the lions, and then being attacked by the crocodiles, it was an amazing metaphor for me because I instantly recognized those forces to be the equivalent of the drug and food industry that is assaulting innocent consumers for their own good.
But why did this video bring me to tears?
Because the herd came back to rescue the innocent baby. Individually, any one of those buffalos would have been killed by the lions, but when they collectively massed together they could defeat them.
The message that has become increasingly clearer to me is that what is needed to change this system is someone to serve as a facilitator, herding the masses together, so we can defeat the forces that are killing us.
I have committed the next phase of my life to this process, and actually started transitioning into this role earlier this year.
This is a massive challenge. We’re up against multi-national drug corporations with a $25 BILLION dollar annual marketing budget with which to implement their agenda -- to take your money, and keep you in the dark about the truth about how to stay healthy.
You need to understand that the current health care system is designed to create fear. The illusion that is being created is that it is being done for public safety, and the enforcement mechanism is a government-backed police force. Tragically, many legitimate objections to violations of your health freedoms are overpowered in the name of national security.
Over 80% of the people on the Internet search for health information, but unfortunately, the field is loaded with fraud and deception.
I started this website ten years ago, and now it’s grown to be the most visited natural health site in the world. We have 1.2 million subscribers, but we really need 35 million subscribers to make this system shift. I believe that is the “tipping point” that will have enough people who are conscious of the truth, that it will permeate the rest of the culture.
We are making headway as we recently doubled our subscriber rate. We now get over 5,000 new subscribers every day. That shows me there’s a thirst for this kind of truth.
But we have a long way to go, so please continue to be a voice of light and health-truth with your family and friends. Lead by example.
If they don’t listen to you, that’s OK. Be patient and love them anyway. If they are following the conventional model, they WILL get sick and when they do, that is the time to gently remind them there are other ways.
It is amazing how people can change their mind once they have been diagnosed with cancer, or have had a heart attack.
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
There is no doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can catalyze a paradigm shift that changes the world!
It does only take a small group, because they (the predators in our society) are actually much smaller in number. You notice only one Water Buffalo (RON PAUL) was brave enough to step out of the herd....then he gained support (RON PAULITES) from a small part of the herd. That's all it takes to prevail. If you haven't done it yet you must register Republican in most States to vote for Ron Paul in the upcoming primaries. Time is running out. It's already too late in some states. Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate (Rep or Dem) that is not bought and paid for by the "Multinational Corporations" which include Big Pharma. More and more Alternative Doctors, eg., (two of the biggest ) Dr. Mercola and Dr. Johnathon Wright are "Stepping out of the herd" to support our only hope in this upcoming 2008 Presidential Election....DR. RON PAUL. !!!
The wasting disease from what I have read in the book,The Family That Couldn't Sleep by D.T.Max is not from lack of predators but from the animals being fed feed cakes in the wild to make them bigger and have larger antlers for the trophy hunters.This also included deer and even moose are now infected with this wasting disease.It is called CWD. It seems that scrapie was in the cakes.If you want to learn more about this, I suggest you read the book.You will never look at a piece of non-organic piece of beef again without hesitating to eat it.My husband, who for years was a avid bow hunter only said he will never eat venison again. Not only because of the CWD but also from lyme diseae and rabies.
Man is man's worst predator. So that being said, should we not be responsible for the health of our "herd"? Not in the context of being Darwinian as "survival of the fittest" but rather making the connect between cause and effect.
I come from an organic farming background and it pains me to see such lack of respect for the land which feeds us. As long as the world is viewed through the capitalistic lens of greed powered by the corporate structure and misinformation, the disrespect (cause) will continue. Now we reap the dis-ease (effect).
Also, as a farmer I know when you have to many of one species in a concentrated area, say a chicken barn with too many chickens, disease will no doubt thrive. Now let's make the connect with, hmmm... us and Mother Earth.
EQ said, "It is for these reasons that I feel this Water Buffalo metaphor doesn't work with the theme of the video... but it is a great overall message trying to be conveyed!"
EQ, I couldn't agree with you more. The lion/water buffalo sequence illustrates how all of life operates in balance. I never like using animal metaphors to describe, illustrate, whatever, human behavior. Only human beings on this planet are responsible for creating imbalance by behaving in evil ways. IMO, all animal/plant life is here on this planet to add to the incredibly rich ecosystem, and each species fulfills a specific role, as God intended. (No, I am not a member of any religious group; I just believe in the Higher Power, the Supreme Intelligence that governs all of the Universe.)
People need to think more about their own individual roles within the larger scheme of things, and they need to do this on a DAILY BASIS through choices they make, from the food they buy/eat to their use of gasoline in their vehicles to the people whom they vote into public office. At the very least, people need to seek information, think critically, and then act--this is the core idea of this video. And, yes, they need to turn off the reality-TV garbage, and they need to realize that most of what they see on mainstream TV news is time-wasting trivia or even just plain b**l***t.
When I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer and all the doctor had to offer was chemo to MAYBE prolong my life....that's when I decided I had to go a different route.
I now have a homeopathic doctor and the treatments are all natural, it's working amazingly and the doctors can't believe how much my tumor marker has dropped. One day these kind of natural remedies will be ciculated through word of mouth and everyone will start to believe.
It's truely amazing how much better I feel now that I'm away from processed foods and crazy medications. My stage IV cancer is being kiilled naturally and it's amazing!! info@naturallifenaturalyou.com
You have totally missed the point
I believe in justice, I believe in dignity, I believe in integrity. I believe "what goes around comes around." I believe there can be a better world. I believe there are millions of wonderful people out there. I believe "we just need to be the change we wish to see in the world." I believe in hope, I believe in love, I believe in kindness I believe collectively we can make positive changes...................
Zeitgeist needs to work on their on "truth" a little be more. They slam religion for their "truth", but they need to do some more investigating of the facts. They're just as guilty, and these people have an agenda to apparently move towards the same atrocities as the others on a long term scale(i.e. Christians must be removed, then all "religious" people must be removed). Check into www.abovetopsecret.com/.../pg1
To say that "religion" is the root of all evil is quite ludicrous, and to target Christianity as being the culprit is to be even more ignorant of recent history. The last I recall, atheism/humanism (which our own Supreme Court confessed is a religion too) has got the highest body count in history. How so? Look at the foundations of communism which are rooted in atheism and humanism. Look into how many people Stalin, Lenin, and Mao-Tse Tung have slaughtered collectively, and you may be very well surprised.
About the sun-god worship connection with Christianity, the truth is Jesus was not born on Dec 25th! It was a day that hundreds of years ago the Catholic Church chose to celebrate the birth of Christ to help convert the pagans by giving them a better way to celebrate this high pagan(sun/god) festival time. There is no exact date to the birth of Christ, but only two possible times of the years that he could have possibly been born around: late February/early March(if I remember correctly) or late sept/early October (or during the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles). This stems from the order of the priesthood of Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist. Not even remotely close to Dec 25th. Let's not forget the three wise men were actually flesh and blood men giving gifts to Mary and Joseph, not some silly stars in the sky.
I'm not saying historical Christianity is without guilt. We must confess and ask forgiveness for our failings. Had generations before been true to Christianity, there would have been less guilt.
Russ B,
I have until Nov. 19, 2007 to change my party affiliation from Democratic (lifelong) to Republican, so that I can vote for RON PAUL on Feb. 12, 2008 in the MARYLAND primary election. (Then I will switch my party affiliation back to Democratic Party later.)
MARYLAND RESIDENTS: LISTEN UP, 11/19/2007 is the last day to switch to Republican Party affiliation! If you are currently Democratic Party, tell those Democratic legislators (you know who, H.R.C.,B.O., J.E.) down the road in DC that you know all about their kow-towing to lobbyists--switch your party affiliation and VOTE for RON PAUL! If you are registered as Independent, you should know by now that you CANNOT vote in a primary election!
I also say VOTE FOR RON PAUL. He is a GIFT to us – an opportunity to the United States of America to ban together and have a BLOODLESS Revolution against the sick governing of this country that has been progressing over many years. It is time to TURN AROUND and let THE CONSTITUTION run this country. If you don’t know about RON PAUL, just listen to him at www.ronpaul2008.com. He will turn this country around. I can’t begin to sell him like he reaches people on his own. He is REAL. RON PAUL is our opportunity to AVOID a bloody revolution down the road. WAKE UP NOW. Please don’t wait until the government makes us too unhealthy to fight and save THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! RON PAUL is truly a GREAT man. He will be a GREAT leader. We the people are the majority. Lets ban together and vote. We can make it happen. Let’s stop putting ourselves in the position of voting for the lesser of the evils and vote for a GREAT leader. This is the FIRST time in my life I will be doing that myself. Please join me. “EACH AND EVERY PERSON’S HIGHER POWER” BLESS AMERICA. Let’s be strong and fight!!!
On this topic of taking on the lions, finding strength together please watch a most amazing movie that can be viewed by going to http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ . It will strengthen your resolve to help change the direction we find ourselves in where the control of the many is for the benefit of the few.
I hope many people will watch it and begin to question what is really happening. It is time for the revolution absolutely!
Thank you to Dr. Mercola for taking on the food and drug companies - truth is power!
Thank you for posting this. It sounds great. I have bookmarked it and will watch it when I have more time..
Waldorfmom, your video/movie-2hrs calling Bible & Jesus a parody of the sun & Jesus is nothing but a plagerized version an egyptian god makes me wonder - GOD CAN DO AMAZING THING BEYOND OUR ACEDEMIC TRUTH; HE MAY HAVE MORE TRUTHS THAT USE ACADEMIC TRUTH AND GO FURTHER YET.
See my reply right above Waldorfmom. I hit the wrong reply button. (first timer)
The Zeitgeist movie author denies a very important fact. The God who made the universe has, by speaking through prophets, revealed from the earliest days all the signs and details of the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus, his son. In the Bible, beginning to have been written down by witnesses of the earliest events of history, has recorded the prophesies, which are God's revealed truth of future events, to offer hope of eternal life for those who love and fear God as the judge of mankind. Jesus, the savior, was prophesied to come and take away the sins of those who love God, who believe in Jesus and his death, burial and resurrection.
Those pagan beliefs and traditions that preceeded Christ Jesus were mis-directed interpretations and false messias, or saviors, which were also predicted to come. Imitations, or wanna-be saviors, which the pagans wanted desperately. The true savior came and died as prophesied in every detail. Those who truly seek truth can see in the Bible the whole story, including their only hope for salvation in this life and the life to come, with God in his new creation. He is the only true God, and has revealed one way to please him, which is not hard. He loves us and does not place a heavy burden on those who love him. He is Truth and Love. He offers Grace and Peace to those who love him.
The zeitgeist movie denies this truth and leads people away from the truth, and God's solution to man's dilemma, his own sin, which is forgiven in Christ, and no other.
Look at Jesus carefully before it is too late for you. May God be praised, and to Him be the glory forever.
