Lausten, Tee, I’ll have to pick up this conversation later. I wrote up a few things yesterday, then walked Maddy and the whole thing was just so depressing.
Try to discuss the simplest fundamentals and its amazing the diversions - sure well meaning but lordie, lordie, the social conditioning -
It’s not about %s. It’s about a lot of things, but not %s and labels and surveys.
It’s about the ego-centric self-certain belief that one has a personal relationship with god.
It’s about the fantasy that the consciousness you now possess will remain after your body is dead.
{Spend a little time actually meditating on an eternal after-life in the heaven of your dreams. For ever and ever, seems like a terrify nightmare to me.
I’m just fine with the long deep sleep - it’s why I chose an attentive, introspective, action filled life.}
It’s about all the obliviousness to this planet, and her life story and the stuff that she does to sustain this fantastical planet we take so fucking for granted.
It’s about the normalization of the lie, winning justifies all - when sober public discourse based on a principle of honesty over self-interest, is all that was needed.
Sorry recent news makes it all especially raw again… this thing is going to get ugly… I keep hoping my pessimism is proven wrong.
America is a fickled people, that 40% could see the light and turn on him, but, i don’t know…
and seems so normalize, same as it ever was.
And so much of it started with the acceptance that anything under the banner of Faith and My God had to be accepted.
Well I just love it when an intended single sentence turns into a half out stream of consciousness. guess no interruptions for a change helps too ![]()
I’m getting old and slow now, it’s okay, I lived it when I had my chance.
Lausten what the Faith-Shackled are thinking I have no clue, not matter how much I’ve struggled to make sense of it.
What I do have a clue about is that their Willful Ignorance has guaranteed a destructive hideous future for my kids and grandkids and all of future humanity.
Fuck trying to make me feel guilty about being pissed off about their wonton greedy self-interest and hatred for others and for setting all of humanity on this destructive path we are on.
Trust me I’m not much happier with the limp noodle liberals and other one time grooves who became traitors to this planet Earth.
All we need was to slow down, less babies, a little more thought about this amazing planet that was providing our life support system.
Learning about how to working with natural systems, after all four and half billion years worth of evolution turned out to have amazing to teach us.
Nurturing biospheres rather than the more profitable rape, pillage and plunder we built our world economy on.
but NO.
