Kevin Richardson - The Lion Whisperer

[Gawan]

I came across this video and I think it is really beautiful both from the shooting and interaction and on the other site totally crazy imo, cause he interferes also with the cats and they are still wild animals. "Lion whisperer" - Kevin Richardson mission is to make people aware of the threat to lions and habitat loss:

The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary’s mission is to provide a self-sustaining African carnivore sanctuary for the purposes of wild species preservation through education, awareness and funding, especially pertaining to the rapid decline of large carnivores in Africa due to habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting, disease and their illegal trade.

That's amazing Gawan! Thanks for sharing, although I don't know if he is very brave or very irresponsible :)
A couple of months ago this psycho woman, Melissa Bachman, became famous for killing big animals (including a lion and a bear) for sport and uploading the photos (where she's smiling next to her poor dead victim) to her facebook. So good to see there are "others" who are actively working towards the opposite direction. There is so much to learn yet..

Thank you, Gawan. The word 'beautiful' is inadequate in describing this video. It confirms yet again that the 'reality' of fear and separation is illusion, manufactured by entities that benefit from it.

I don't think he is either of those, Leonardo. He is just more aware of a facet of truth than others.

I should have said crazy or wild instead of irresponsible, at the moment I wasn't able to think of a better term, but yes you are right.
I saw some time ago a youtube video about sharks and there was a young biologist who got into the water because there was a shark stuck in the sand (brackish water). He said something like "No shark is going to die in front of me" (sorry for the poor translation). The shark went into the sea quickly thanks to his help.

Every time I see somebody so passionate involved in saving endangered species in the wild from extinction, through natural courses in nature, I'm reminded of what George Carlin had to say about saving endangered species and the environment:

But obviously, one would also have to take into account the fact that "habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting and illegal trade etc" are also caused by humans and might play a bigger role in it nowadays and if that actually also accounts as "natural extinction" and if it is right, to not do something against that?

I dunno...

In either way I think the most effective way to "leave nature alone" (as Carlin puts it) and live in harmony with it, is actually to get aware of psychopathology that is going through the roof in our society nowadays and educate ourselves and others about it, because it might be the underling cause of why we are not living in harmony with nature and causing unnecessary interference with it.

Education is key, no doubt about it, although sometimes a little bit of action can also help. For example, there is a group of wolves in Zamora (Spain) that now in March are going to be sold to hunters, so each one of the hunters can kill one wolf (and they are VERY happy for this) The government says this is necessary because wolves do much harm, but in reality we have killed their source of food and their numbers have decreased enormously this lasts years. So a group of people have decided to place a bid for one wolf, for leaving it alive, in order to show that for normal people a living wolf is more valuable than a dead one. OF course we won't be able to "save" them,as their destiny has already been decided by the PTB and I am not sure at this stage of the game if it would make a difference, but it is a way to show our profound dissapointment.

Amazing video, Gawan! Thanks for sharing.

Might? Humans are the de facto orchestrators of the mass extinctions that are going on right now. Carlin makes paramoralistic comparisons between the current and past mass extinctions. I respect his opinion on a number of things but in this case he is dead wrong.

Yes, we should do something, and make our contribution to in some opportunity normal people take the power from the hands of a psychopathic elite. That would really help the planet. Still, we must admit that the point is that Nature is invincible and humans are not so important, it's a good punch of that good "cynical" humorist. We can ruin our eco system and bring misery to ourselves, destroying our future (especially with our indolence to the actions of psychopaths), but Nature is not in danger, will continue renewing, creating and destroying beings eternally. You might even think that the flora and fauna are safer than human beings, spiritually secure in their group of soul of each (perhaps you could say the same about the planet and its soul?). Humans can lose their souls. So, I think it's humanity that is in danger.

Thanks for the video, Gawan! I really enjoyed it. :)

Regarding George Carlin and his thoughts about non-interference with nature and it's processes, I think that he meant more that humans would need to first learn to care for each other in a true way to be capable of a true assistance to our co-inhabitants on the Earth. For example, Greenpeace or any other similar organization that do not have a real, objective knowledge and perspective on our present state of reality and humanity itself, is NOT helping in an objective way to protect our environment and Carlin probably was thinking of that kind of arrogant "help".

I agree that we should be helping other species, but we need to learn how to do it, in a correct way so that even more harm would not be done. The best way IMO, would be to be active primarily in exposing psychopathy and it's influence on our whole reality which includes our 2D friends.
