Being the Universe as Helena-Sophia and Peteyboy
Great. Now I can read that it was all nothing but a hype with a purpose? Hyped up for very, very disturbing reasons. You see, it comes as a great challenge to not elaborate about the unfolding situation. Because I am in it. We are in it. We, as in my Fabulously Fantastic Four Felines and me as Being the Universe. There is of course a much larger 'we', and that I just talked with y Mom. My Mom is of advanced age and remembers still a lot. A lot includes also the time of her youth. That time too, was extremely challenging and saturated by the worst human activities ever perpetrated.
While we talked about my persisting poverty, we elaborate how it was before. Not only a couple of weeks ago, or a couple of month. No, more like a generation. It gets even more dramatic if You scroll back a number of generations. What was challenging then? Should I better say: "What are we told, was challenging then"? We have to take what we were told - or better what we told ourselves - at face value, because while there are certainly a few remnants of ancient civilizations left, the context in which to see these challenges is lost. Like stone tablets, or carved inscriptions, drawings, paintings and sculptures. The further You go back, the more reduced are the challenges to the essential ones: food, clothes and shelter.
It should be taken for granted, that before the advent of bureaucrazy, people went along getting exactly that. And while the modern mind will argue that the building codes they did not have did not prevent collapse of all buildings. In the latest issue of "Cavegirl Today" is an article about a cave-in that happened because there were no building codes.
Food. Food was everywhere, correct? You could sit in a river and wait until the fish would swim into Your lap and look at You like "You want me? Get me!" And You would get it. Berries everywhere. Depending on location, everything one could dream of eating. And nobody else tried it before. The thrill of it. Clothes? Well, You know, they are probably not that important at all - depending on location, of course. As a matter of fact, the Encyclopedia Universalis - the Standard Volume for Information in the Galaxy - writes, that clothes were introduced only much later in human evolution, after the first emperor was invented.
Which makes quite some sense, considering that clothes were necessary in order to not wear them. Otherwise You would be simply naked. When it came to proper health care, You could argue that the early life style of H.S. did not provide for lots of bad things. Those had to be invented first. Living in such a healthy fashion, with lots of berries and probably insects, too, nobody needed universal health care, because health was universal. Nobody was sick, because diseases had to be discovered only later. It was a lot like 'here today - gone tomorrow'. Without ever anybody asking why. It took forever for somebody to ask "Why?" and equally long for someone to answer. Whereas many of the original questions remain unanswered.
People were healthy and nobody had any other fear than that the sky could come down and squish everybody. The water was clean. Everywhere. You could drink most of the water where there were no humans. With the exception of a variety of water sources that nobody ever wanted to drink anyway, so they are not included here.
So, where were the challenges for Cave Girl and Cave Guy? Other Cave Gals 'n Guys? Big, always hungry homovores? Asteroids colliding with wherever it was where they were sitting around the fire? Deadly Hornets, Wasps, Killer-Andwhatever Bees, creatures waiting in the Lagoon, where later Brooke Shields would shoot in blue. No, You can twist it, bend it and even mutilate it, it won't budge. Humans have created a hell for other humans for a very long time and are still doing it.
So, when my Mom and I talk about the challenges of this day being immensely greater then ever since the end of the war, there was for a split second this acceptance on her side about my persistent poverty being not entirely my personal issue, but the main issue of western societies of today. To be having a good time now is comparable to having shots and cocktails while watching pictures from Dachau, or Hiroshima. Well, there probably where types who celebrated the dishing out of deep fried Hiroshima and deep fried Nagasaki.
Somebody had to drop the first nuke, isn't that right? It had better been us said the corporate West. The story goes on and on and on and on and 'we' (a term I use carefully and lightly, as it refers only to those who are adversely affected from this unfolding insanity) are still and once more and one more time confronted with resignation, anger, frustration and what my Mom so eloquently describes as: "There is nothing we can do about it. We can't change it."
This is where it gets tricky. For one, I totally believe my Mom from her perspective. She's going to be 89 soon. At no point in time before, has the programming of the previous generation become so obvious as in this present time. To call the elderly - above 75? - helpless is sarcastically understated. This is a crisis of epic proportions for my Mom's generation and I cannot accept the 'too many people on the planet' mantra. But I concur with the 'too many assholes' assessment - as all the suffering, the pain and death of late were artificial. Serving the needs of those who live on the expense of the common wealth. Sucking dry the public teat, the teat that is severely deflating right now.
My Mom and I ended the Facetime conversation with assurances to each other that it won't get that bad, maybe. My Mom always has a few uplifting thoughts handy. She told me that - in German -
"Der Mensch denkt - Gott lenkt.".
'Man thinks - God does the steering.'
And I countered with "At least since Adam and Eve."
So, yes, in quintessence I believe that the absolute majority of all the suffering and pain on Earth are artificial - do not occur naturally and here closes the loop again. What are we (the we that includes everybody) if not natural? What happened to natural?
But if all the excess suffering and pain are natural, what will become of mankind if it does not collectively think in a different way? Just to think in a didferent way would be enormous helpful as it cannot be expected that all of the collective are willing to change the old ways. The usual ways that is.
It is my understanding that I was made experiencing to BE the Universe and not just sitting, typing, eating, sleeping and so forth in IT. Especially after I was hit by lightning in January. Maybe that's also the reason that I write the way I write, even though I always had a very unique way of expressing my Self. This Self as being aware of being the Universe, decided to do whatever serves the collective - as it is only the collective that can bridge the generational gaps we are encountering now. I love my parents and it hurts me to witness them suffer as much as myself, albeit in a different way of course. They are my parents. I am Off Spring.
May the Universe throw all loving and caring folks a nice curve.
Take care.
