3/6/12 F!!! ONCE AGAIN I was writing a BIG
stream of consciousness on a FB ‘comment’, pressed the wrong key & lost it
ALL bar this…!!!
I just can’t believe I’ve done it again,
& this one was an epically AWESOME little easily 1,000 + words of divine
inspiration, several hours of writing & all lost…AAARRRGGHH…except for (most
of) the 12 ‘mandates’ that I can fairly clearly recall & have recreated below…bar
#7 & 10…at least I know I am ready to write, & when I do, some VERY
GOOD STUFF can flow from mind-heart to screen…just got to remember to ‘save a
copy’ on a regular basis…which I was doing initially, but must have got
tired, slipped up, & then…left with only one line…damn…oh, well I know if
I’ve done it once, ‘it’ can be done time & again…would like to recall some
more of what got deleted, but its 123am now…sigh…it was all inspired by James
Samuels FB post on 2/6 with this picture below, & Jame’s comment, quote:
“Gotta laugh at ourselves!
Then get on with designing a better system. Hyper-local exchange systems make sense to me for a lot of reasons, but I'd be delighted to hear your comments.”

(& I replied with what was initially
going to be just a brief comment…that just kept on evolving & growing…something
like…)
“…it’s all very much about an exchange
system, but what we ultimately exchange is what we value, & by reasonable extension
our values & ethics themselves …what
is ‘the system’ that we currently suffer under, but a reflection of our
personal, family, community, social, national & global ethical values that
our dominant culture does a giant mind control mash-up with, refilters &
then tells us we wish to live & die by…[see!!! I’ve forgotten almost
everything]…but it seems our #1 issue today is the corruption in the ‘value/s system’
caused by greed, & the fear that generates it…the problem with greed is
it’s a personal challenge on a constant basis not to succumb to it’s various forms…[nah,
quite/very different, but I can recall some of the stronger, more memorable
phrases & metaphors]…looking back over history, time & time again
various civilizations have risen, plateaued, declined & even collapsed,
based on the strength of their values, & their eventual, inevitable it
seems, contagion by greed, & it’s an
ongoing perennial problem of value exchange systems that we have yet to grow
out of…
[The below is a distillation of what I can/’t
remember now, so that I went from lovely theory, to practical application…]
…the Hebrew 10 commandments are an early
crude attempt at a uniting value system, which have morphed over thousands of
years into todays 100’s & 1,000’s of examples of confusing contradictions
on top of collusions that is the ‘legal ethical system’ we all live under various
forms of…& just to pick an easy target, take a look at Buddhism, the 8fold
path has had 2,500 years+ to mature into a world system, yet it struggles to survive
in its birthplace, India…but as a pick of the bunch, it’s one of the
best…Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Confucianism, indeed most of the worlds major
values systems, are largely in various states of dis-ease & dis-repair,
& indeed whilst they spend in-ordinate amounts of time re-inspecting their
belly-button fluff, predatory Capitalism has stepped into the breech, & its
transformation into a creature that is literally consuming Gaia is a sad, sad
tragic outcome of the transformation of the ‘free market’ by rampant hubris…what
we have to do is mature past dog-eat-dog Darwinism, red in tooth & claw,
onto the next level of One, & what is that…???...all ‘free-thinking’ folks
could agree that our destiny as a species is to colonize outer space…(oops! See
now easy it is for the worm of greed to wriggle in there…!!!...scratch ‘colonize’,
& replace with ‘explore & share’ space)…however, I do trust in the
proof of evolution that is self-evident before us, yet it’s got to be
‘conscious evolution’ that will uplift us to the next level of the One… so how
do we transform all this destructive energy enveloping the globe into something
more positive & uplifting…???…seems to me the challenge is we are now able
to interact in a real-time global manner, Gaia is entirely gripped by our
species greed, yet when we look at
things from this scale, the scales themselves can suddenly fall from our eyes
& we can see that the flipside of the fear of the unknown is…the romantic
embrace of the mystery of the Unknown…we need to balance the male destructive
energy of Homo Sapiens/wise rational man, with the Femina Sophia/wise
compassionate creative female energy, aim to create a new species of Homo
Sophia to reflect both the Rational & Creative aspects of the clever
monkeys that we are, in order to unify these individually chaotic energies into
an alchemical marriage of hope & forgiveness…
So what can we do about all this…???...well,
here is a list of priorities as talking points; some idea’s of where we might
start:
1)
the elimination of all war
& armed conflict,
2)
banish material poverty (made
totally affordable many, many, time over by the bounteous saving from
passionately promoting peace!!!)
3)
support mental health,
4)
encourage cognitive liberty,
5)
the elimination of cruel &
unusual punishment,
6)
the redefinition of ‘success’,
‘sin’, ‘status’ amongst other common cultural constructs,
7)
the redefinition of ???
8)
the recognition that we are ALL
connected to all other species on Spaceship Earth,
9)
that the attainment of a loving
compassionate life, can only be achieved by personal struggle & sacrifice,
10)
???
11)
that the pursuit of
loving compassion in all its forms unites all drafting & application of
law/s, via a government Ministry of Justice that equally promotes the
harmony of carrot & stick.
12)
Recognize that the physical & psychic
reality we all have a stake in manifests as a Unified Polarity, a synergistic
expression of fe/male energy, of you & me, s/he, one ‘n other, our shared
myth & parable, your story is my metaphor, our story, my story, mystery…
…& I will never write in a ‘comments’
on FB, or anywhere else, again without saving it to a Word.doc…!!!!!!!!!
