After reading some more of Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" I have come to realize that given the facts below, the only reason that one would continue to harbor one of these weapons (I consider it a weapon) that harms oneself, one's family, future generations, and our precious wildlife (frogs are now dying all over the world because of this technology) is because of "unconsciousness."
paul
"Choice implies consciousness - a high degree of consciousness. Without it, you have no choice. Choice begins the moment you disidentify from the mind and its conditioned patterns, the moment you become present. Until you reach that point, you are unconscious, spiritually speaking. This means that you are compelled to think, feel, and act in certain ways according to the conditioning of your mind. That is why Jesus said: 'Forgive them, for they know not what they do.' This is not related to intelligence in the conventional sense of the word. I have met many highly intelligent and educated people who were also completely unconscious, which is to say completely identified with their mind. In fact, if mental development and increased knowledge are not counterbalanced by a corresponding growth in consciousness, the potential for unhappiness and disaster is very great." p 188-189
