An International system of Greed and Suffering that You and I maintain

Are we just here to produce and consume. Are we here to be manipulated on every level. The latihan sheds light on the nature of human existence. But for us as with our fellow human beings we exist at the base level much of the time. We live in a world where materialism and consumerism dominate our lives. We expect and demand more and more. Could we manage to go without things we now take for granted and think are 'normal'. All of these, basics, luxuries, excesses...require Oil...the system behind it.. the power house of our economies of trade and ever expanding thirst for markets is what the present farce over Iraq stems from.
Today, whatever domestic politics one possess, however self interested and conservative we like to be, recent events shake our complacent lives and demand that we look up. That is of course if you live in the 'developed world'. In actual reality we have to look within ourselves at this point. The most prominent thing on the agenda at the moment is War Against Iraq. George W Bush and his cohort are now unstoppable. UN resolutions, International Community opinion, are a side show. Direct action by those not happy with this state of affairs is futile. Standing in the way of a battering ram when it rams into the door of truth is a case of naivety. Where we all can make a difference is by being clear about what is going on.

Rachman's Ramadan

Rachman Cantrell
The Ramadan fast is over. The forces that were held in check by the power of the fast have been unleashed again, and I am at their mercy...or perhaps not.
Something special was given to me recently. After many years of withdrawal from the Subud organization, I received a feeling, a commitment to do what I can to help Subud to grow. I had many times over the years asked if there was something I could do to help in that process, but always received "no".
Then a few months ago I tested that question again and this time actually received that I could do something. I had a feeling to become chairman of our local group, and different ideas started coming to me! Since doing the Ramadan fast this feeling has grown stronger.
