 Where is this leading? All the homelessness, addiction, susceptibility to infection, disrespect and disdain for  the other, the stranger, the competition. Maybe that’s where it all started?
There are numerous historical accounts of individuals with charisma accumulating power, wiping out the neighbouring kingdom or religious enclave in order to sequester resources enjoy the “spoils” of war and crow about their superiority. Whether  the motivator of this be moral, religious or basically greed something seems to have been lost, discarded or neglected in the evolution of our education and nurturance of children to have arrived at this juncture. What must emerge from the chaos are collaborate investments in our survival that address the great gaps that have appeared. Like blind spots in our vision, filtered out words or sounds, smells and tastes avoided we may be out of touch with what it is to be members and participants on the planet.
It won’t be enough to embrace humility and clean up the mess, treat all the symptoms and hope it all goes away soon. No, this involves a greater sacrifice. Reducing our needs? sounds oxymoronic. What is needed is a dismantling of the social structures,  cultural standards, the foundations of power, status and values. Embedded deeply in this are the memes of racism, sexism and a patriarchal domination perspective that holds a certain type of personality as superior. Therein lies the key, the linchpin, the mental construct. Superiority as a concept; judgement and discernment with a hormonal response. How our visceral response to a stimulation rules our choices. Is this where ethics appears in the story?
Somehow somewhere, someone/many individuals chose to impose their strength, their physical presence on others. Sick children are likely candidates. A number of sleepless nights in a dodgy circumstance and how do we deal with the noise? These parents’ might became their right and the benefits became greater than the intimate rewards of sharing.
Imposing any kind of agenda on a large scale smacks of authoritarianism and what I imagine to be possible is a stretch of my imagination. But the magnetic resonance, the wave of conscious energy circling the planet is a reality. How we access it is to be determined.
Meanwhile our planet is delivering  responses to our actions, consequences of our ignorant violations of basic necessary practices for sustaining life.
I can relate to the people standing up and saying NO!  STOP!
The stream of consciousness, the stream of behaviours, existing structures and process encourage me  to take it all for granted, not recognize signs of failure, not acknowledge my own body’s  my own visceral response and go on living like it will never end.
That is not working for me. The pain I experience personally and around me through my compassionate, emotional triggered hormonal response continues to warn me of danger to my  being. How much more can we take?  01 05 2022
