I appreciate the idea that humanity is out of balance and needs to heal, balance and evolve. However, that is not what this group is promoting, voluntary death of parental lineage is mass suicide of the essence involved.
So what monks do, what nuns do, is mass suicide of the essence involved?
I know there will be a massive amount of mental gymnastics to try to frame this in another way,
You think, massively so, yet to claim to know?
.. so I won't go into huge detail here. As some of the higher consciousness life forms on this planet it is not impressive to simply say 'we are too dumb to resolve our problems, let's just give up'.
Simply saying that they say so does not mean that they say so, does it?
Further, if people legitimately view humans as such a problem, why are they still alive?
To preach the gospel of the one gnosis.
Why are they forcing themselves on the planet and animals? Isn't their every breath a sacriligious insult to other life forms?
They should definitely kill themselves if they truly believe what they say, you try to suggest, why live? Why live, just die.
I think anything that imprints children with the idea that their existence is not sacred and is actually basically evil, is far from harmless.
What about monks, and nuns?
