Transcendence Chance

Yet another beat down. I’ve been fighting to get my point across forever. It’s so damn maddening to keep getting dismissed by people that should give a damn about the criminal madness of oppression that the corrupt government is imposing on us all, and don’t. Big industrial companies literally get away with murder at our expense without any real account of their responsibility. Not only are they not held accountable for screwing us up, they’re rewarded! People not only seem to not know the magnitude of this, most outright deny it, and nobody seems to care!! Now my friends and family don’t want to hear it anymore, and this most recent argument has found me literally beat up by these people assembled down at the green. They said, “All lives matter.”  I said, “I don’t think so.”  The next thing I know is this pressure on my chest and shoulders. Through muffled complaint came the blow on the head which left me ringing and bleeding on the curb.

The crowd moved away in disregard. They must have felt like the point had been made. They moved on to continue the demonstration of animated pressure persuasion and provocation. Feeling dismissed and definitely beat down, I angrily, furiously, contemplated the concept of wether or not the whole damn world had gone insane!!

I got the ominous feeling I was being watched. Looking up I saw a worn man and an equally worn woman addressing me with a look of concern. It was noticeably non threatening. He asked me if I was okay. I was, and said so, but I was damn mad! “Is everybody in this society god damn sheep, or what!? How can they all be so blind to ignore that we’re being lead into an abyss by greedy, corrupt, no good, government crooks!?” The overseer never blinked. He calmly stated words that cut through me with the exactitude of truth. I could feel the inside of my chest expand and lighten up. Hope overcame anger/dread in a moment.

He said, “Every organized social institution is weaponized against the people. Accept this and you will transcend it. If you embrace this with the honor code, of being compassionate of and of service to those you meet, you will be okay. You will heal, and so will those about you.”

With that he reached down, and gave me a hand up.

Back to School

The end of the first day of school. Back at the local bus stop, the bus pulls up. It stops. It’s that time of year again. Johnny follows the others off the bus. He’s talking to Reigna as they return to meet the waiting parents, family, and friends. Johnny has just started the first grade.

“What’s that you’ve got there?”, Johnny’s mom Sophia asks.

“What?”

“That picture that you’re holding.” Sophia encourages.

“It’s my picture about summer.”, Johnny tells her.

He hands his mom the picture he’s been carrying. Sophia takes it up and gives it a look. It’s a painting. It appears to be a scene depicting a gathering. There are four people around what looks like a large green donut in a yard. The yard is light brown and green, surrounded by columns that must be trees, and dots of colors which might be flowers. One of the people is holding up what looks like a towel, as the others are like dancing or waving. “What is this a picture of?’, Sophia asks. Regina and her older sister are looking over Johnny’s shoulder at the portrait.

“It’s Beck Pond when we were catching frogs.” he informs them.

Returning to her boys’ recent masterpiece she admires his work. There are a couple birds depicted in the sky above the boys. There are brush strokes of silver all above the scene at the pond. In the middle of the the sky the silver is smudged a bit, and seems brighter. “Is it about to rain on you guys at the pond?”, she wonders.

“No?! It’s sunny.”

“You forgot to paint the sky blue Johnny.”, Sophia suggests.

The sky isn’t blue mom. It’s white.”

“The sky is always blue Johnny.”, his mother corrects him.

The group at the bus stop is breaking up an overlapping conversation of hellos, How was its, see you laters, goodbyes. Regina is looking up in the sky, and says, “He’s right. It is white.”

Sophia looks up. There is a warm, very warm sensation of the sun that seems to be cued. The area about the sun is shining too brightly to actually look at, but it’s bright white. The balance of the sky is… “Oh well!?!? It is white!” , she exclaimed in real surprise. Sure enough, she stood corrected. Sophia at this point became curious and interested in what you might call the phenomena of the sky.

Balance Inquiry

Natural order is balanced. It is characterized by unity, stability, and harmony. Eras of planetary history have their distinctions. The current concept of existence here on earth is of a basic underlying stability. The inherent truth of this is so, however, the persistent press of ego will, or hyper ego will, has created an eccentric so momentous, and so sudden, that nature’s ability to compensate has been shoved to a limit. The roiling events and telemetry of the present hour indicate a major disruption and imbalance to our system/systems. Whiplash events of deluge and drought, surplus and shortage, famine and feast. Turbulent swirls of public riot and intolerance. War and/or threatening conflict and war looms as if a perpetual ticking time bomb. We’re surrounded by the harmful impacts of chemical toxicity, polluted air and water, harmful radiation and microwave exposure. Contest, contradiction, and crisis define the headlines of the day. And while personally secured comfort zones exist here and there, ignoring the pressing perimeter of desperation, depravity, and ill requires ever increasing determination. The potential harmony existence of balanced energy and interest systems here on planet earth, now and recently, seems out of reach. The standards of near constant mistrust, disillusionment, confusion, and conflict is our norm. The thought of a world without conflict is as outrageous as, oh I don’t know, reaching the summit of Mount Everest solo, blindfolded, in a bathing suit. This is an unbalanced reality. It is symptomatic of disunion with nature.

Nature is one, of one, through one, to one. In near perfect balance and harmony, nature’s gyroscopic aspects of cosmological perfection, results in compensation and purposeful stability instant by instant. Acting universally, microscopically, macroscopically, remotely, and locally for total equilibrium maintenance. The galactic jewel is planet earth. It is the crown jewel of the galaxy, with supremely attractive and valuable resources. The living, life support earth, is the provisional wonder dome that makes biologic manifest Creation’s miracle dream of unlimited expression. The inhabitants can be, and have been, unified in the glorious real interconnectivity of all guarantees life to explode with the fullness of expression in it’s health, growth, blossom wonder, and joy. This is the abundance planet that man was introduced into at the time line bracket point of the infamous “missing link.” By the mystic philosophic schism time of the Eleatic school, the course had been set for upheaval. Man had “figured” himself to be separate from nature. Disconnect from natural truth, and the risk of struggle, disillusionment, confusion, mind/body/spirit atrophy, and peril is realized. Man’s variance??? We believe, and behave as separate from, and greater than, the balance of nature! It’s like standing up in a canoe… Then stepping onto the one side edge of it’s hull.

While nature surely knows it’s requisite aggression of food chain hierarchy, nothing compares with the blood thirsty carnage of what people do to each other, and the desirable/undesirable members of the animal kingdom. Not to mention earth’s natural resources. This is consistently our case down through the eras of recorded human history. Far beyond the diet of survival, this attack lineage is personal. Hostility breeding hostility in repeating patterns of mutilation and futility, The organic resource world, innocence, as well as, the animal kingdom are held hostage. Held hostage to a ransom the limits of which appear way beyond quenchable satisfaction. Nature, the cosmos, and everything within are inextricably linked. Self imposed domination beings, however, proudly deny this with terms of subservience and control. Not all mankind has had this disconnection disease, but the ones that do stop at nothing when it comes to obliterating the rest. GENOCIDE! The karmic, organic, and natural balance has thus been thrust abruptly, wildly, off. Mixed up confusion is all around. Discordant the sound. Conclusion at hand. The cosmic irony is that the very nature man has put under intense, viscous, unremitting attack is the same nature which constantly works to help provide healing, re balance, and harmonious salvation. It’s definitely time to embrace our failing and lost connection to the natural world. Can the defilement curse of our trained abandonment of the link to the loving host be recovered? Will balance be restored in time for survival? A flourishing world would be great to experience. To that end, rewrite the agreements of the material pleasure demand and resource domination/control programing. Forget the elitism that alienates humanity from the whole, and forces organic order out of whack. The ability to accurately assess our current state is severely compromised. Discernment is at an all-time difficult. We’re under a stupor spell. This is proving to be an intensely difficult spell to break.

What kind of crazy upside down formula trance are we in? In a world that provisions more sustenance supply than one could ever want, we’re trained to compete for more than we’ll ever need. The delicate balances of our own and our hosts’ flex. Eventually to yield. Lop side a system, lop side it more, one more push and it flips. We’re all tracing through eternity on a cosmic balance beam. Galactic history has it’s cataclysms (planet/asteroid collisions, geophysical eruptions, exploding stars, cosmic storms, space/time schisms) which blow every part of the system asunder. Cosmic eternity has the patience to provide the millennia required to rebalance, renew, and resurrect. What is the cause of the current geophysical cataclysm??? Intelligent life! (If it can be called that.) We’re so busy proudly declaring our preeminence over everyone and everything that we don’t recognize that we’ve put ourselves on the threshold of the penultimate hostility. Balance or bust!

Other than working energetic practices which counter act the ongoing mania push of the modern world, meditating on the cure, and going increasingly local to supply the basic needs; the time has come to get friendly, very friendly, with the world and everything in it. No more concentrated chemicals. No more herbicide!! No more insecticide!! No more gratuitous burning of anything!! No more killing!! Welcome formerly “undesirables” of plant and animal!! Greet everything met along the way. Hi there bug (how great is it to see pollinators these days!?), bird, varmint, bat, and beast. Hello plants of grass, fungus, brush, vine, flower, tree, and weed. Sing for the oceans, ponds, lakes, and seas: everything that swims, flies, seaweeds, corals, and crawls. Our fate is collective, though our attitude is exempt. It’s nature that is going to remediate the madness, poison, and kill. Imbalance is overwhelming us, and our world, now. The opportunity is immemorial. What is the choice? This is the time whenever it’s chosen. The decision to reconsider our own individual superiority will stand as the life liberating determinant of salvation, endurance, harmony, and bliss. Balance inquiry complete. Time to RELINK!
