A problem solved without harmony becomes many.
Control & Greed Problems
Many problems stem from a loss of individual power. When the connection to individual power is lost, the powerless become starved for power and power hungry. Because they perceive their condition as hopeless, they look outside themselves to compensate. One way to seek power and feel re-energized is through things such as food, drink, intoxicants, entertainment and possessions. Another way is to drain energy from others through manipulation, greed, conflict and places of authority. Government entities are prime places used by the power hungry to exert control and make decisions that affect lives. These entities are used to multiply greed and commit extensive crimes.Food Problem
We moved from the country into cities and too far from direct to indirect food production. Instead of growing our own food, we depend on farmers, processors, manufacturers, truckers and stores. These extra wasteful steps have contributed to increased pollution, resource depletion and health issues. Instead of working the land so food goes from land to mouth, we prefer trading our personal resources to get money so we can buy food. Because we are unaware of what it takes to grow food, we waste a lot and destroy a lot of the ecosystem. We have numerous efforts to feed the hungry, school children and the elderly. We are malnourished, sick and cancerous. We face shortages of nutrients to grow food because there is very little recycling of nutrients back to the source of production. These resources are piled up, causing a landfill problem. All of these problems are due to the absence of harmony.Cancer Problem
Each cell in our bodies is a living being that needs nutrition and needs to avoid toxins. This is optimal. When a cell must try to live and perform its functions in antagonistic, stressful conditions, malfunction is bound to occur. When it does occur and the cell multiplies, cancer is the result. Therefore, cancer is a malnutrition and toxin problem that develops in a cellular environment absent of harmony.Using The Wrong Key Is The Problem
Obviously today's education system was designed by an absent-minded professor who forgot the key to being whole is whole learning which integrates academic theory, real life, religion, government, education, all sciences, knowledge of self and the natural world. Students have not been taught to seek oneness of spirit, mind and body with their duty-filled dependence on the ecosystem. Here's a basic case in point. Supposedly humans today know more than has ever been known yet high school graduates, college graduates and longtime adults don't know what to eat to be healthy. Not knowing what to eat is caused by not knowing ourselves and this is due to the absence of harmony.Land & Water Problem
Many problems stem from land ownership and water rights. Land and water provide the ability to meet basic needs. This is one part of the requirement for total freedom. This is why the enslaved in America were never set free by anyone because land was never given back. Without land owned free and clear, the enslaved became different slaves (sharecroppers and employees). The limited intent of the Emancipation Proclamation created partial freedom for some but not complete freedom for anyone. Since there was no intent for real freedom, the enslaved were left exposed to a variety of problems such as Black Codes, Jim Crow, voting restrictions, murders, segregation, lack of foundational wealth and despicable inhumane behavior of those in government and the general public who believe their survival depends on inhumanity. Freedom never exists without permanent access to land and water as a means of survival, especially when, man-made systems superimposed on the ecosystem, falter. Land problems exist for many who do have land. We prefer to cover land with food (grass) for grazing animals. Since there are no grazing animals around, resources are required to cut and remove this food because we not interested in using the land to feed ourselves or allow our land to become natural habitats filled with food, shelter and nesting material. We prefer to go visit natural habitats. Under this scenario, we curse having to cut the grass while hoping the grass grows in fully. We then throw away the nutrient clippings and the nutrient leaves. This is more wasted food. Then we buy bird seed, fertilizer and grass seed instead of allowing the grass to feed itself, seed itself and naturally meet the needs of many other life forms. We are left with problems such as soil aeration and imbalances of other animals and insects. We continue our headstrong ways even though more mature plant coverage on our land would extract more carbon dioxide from the air and thus lessen the impact of climate change.One Final Fix
Without harmony, we cannot connect past, present and future. We can neither learn from the past, appreciate the present nor pay forward for the future. We cannot bring our inheritance and our legacy into our current living space. This is counter to evolving because it does not allow building on the past or uplifting the future. Because our comprehension is not comprehensive, we are operating counter to evolution. For example, we will always expend enormous resources trying to deal with the basics of food, shelter, medical care, freedoms, rights, fairness and justice because we have no respect for inherent rights. Specifically, we have very little shared space, very little shared resources and no acknowledgment of common origin. Yet, it's expected everyone should share the work, but it's rejected everyone should share the wealth. We disrespect natural laws established by Higher Powers and refuse to extend our personal liberties to others. Removing human interference with inherent rights will reduce crime in many areas. Since everything was once in natural order, most problems are the result of abandoning this solution. Because problems are increasing, especially basic ones, we must reassess our basic approach. It only takes a little bit of critical thinking to realize we're listening to the wrong folks. Advances do not involve tradeoffs, side effects or create new problems. During this Dark Age, we have mostly relied on the singular approach of technology (which includes science) to deal with problems. Example and experience are clear; technology, by itself, will not solve anything. It requires proper use. If technology is used without regards to harmony, it will create more problems. Nowadays, despite periodic technological change, we still have a plethora of basic problems all related to one thing – neglecting to define the root cause as the absence of harmony. Since the problem is the absence of harmony, the solution is the presence of harmony. Harmony is the final fix to our fatal flaw.
