*******Our Ancestors told us that we can learn much from the animals and as a result I make it my duty to observe the manifestations in this vast Creation as much I can.
There is a set of lions who just live as a family in what is called their pride. The mother and father, children and grand children, until some of them may move on to another area for one reason or another. Then there is another set of lions, which is called rogue lions, they travel around in a gangs, and they disrupt families, they mostly gang up on the males and kill them, they also kill the children of that pride, and try to take over the lioness as their wife to have young ones of their own. Just like among mankind there are ranks of leadership among animals, and what ever the leader decides that is what will take place, or else there will be much more fighting and killings, just like among humans.*******

Your words are VERY CLEAR and ACCURATE.

This observation tells me that he or she who wields the greatest power of KILLING is the leader.

No mystery that human hierarchy in affiliation with this type of observation ALWAYS leads to folly, oppression and death.

What we are missing is that wise Elders also witnessed the fact that this tough lion also grew old one day to be replaced by a younger stronger male...and on and on...the ALPHA MALE.

Surely we are not saying that it is prudent to replicate such activities as humans.

It is precisely that thinking that has today's current leaders in their position...they wield the power of DEATH.

If it is prudent to observe this type of activity in Nature and for it to serve as an example for us to follow, then indeed selassielive and I SHOULD be fighting for the king of the pride and for the right to "mate" with Rosalind.

Actually your example supports the folly of selassielive and my squabbles...it is only natural to seek being "top lion" based on your reasoning.

That is why my point has been that we must observer nature from a wholistic/universal perspective and not just from snapshots at certain activities of just certain creatures. Since lions are not the dominate force in Nature, I should not just use my observation of just them as an example of how to function/live.

That is the problem. Men have observed the actions of lions and considered their ranking system as Divine, thus "hier" archy...and no mystery throughout the existence of man, there has been one regime after another after another after another...the next more ruthless and despicable than the one before.

The USA is the current king of the pride and is so because of observing THAT particular behavior and running with it.

Only Universal observation and replication with alignment to Ma'at will overcome these rising societies,which are nothing more than externalizations of the tyrant's worldview.

Everyone is fighting for second place...and ones only fight for second place because it is ABOVE third place.

The solution is to realize that there is no ranking...no ranking, no squabbling. That is why the Universe does NOT squabble nor fight over rankings...its balance can not be challenged nor compromised.

Rank is the enemy of Ma'at.
