Ishmael

Its clear that we need a new story..

the one's we have been told, for so many years, are not working anymore

our lives are fleeting glimpses, mirages in a desert, reflections of the sun in an open meadow.

We are holographic representations of possibibility, sharing a view of reality..

We are dense distortions of light

cleverly crafted into intelligent movement

we are perfect geometry, in a sacred clockwork we can only begin to understand!

we are a series of languages and code

an abode of spirit, consciousness


We are pulled apart by polarity, and fused together by ionization

We are natures movement at work. We are god's chosen ones, who have scorned him

and decided we know better, how to be masters of the world.

We choose our own destinines

We chart our own courses

We do not rely on gods bounty, but on supermarkets

We do not needs gods light, we have indoor heating and lighting

We do not need to be near a stream or well, we have piping

We need not eat fruit, digest and fertilize the earth with our rich extrement, it goes into a treated sewage facility

In fact, none of the rules and laws of living systems apply to us.

We can consume as much as we like, eat as much, waste as much.. we can own as big a property as we like, fly around the world, drive as much, use as much oil, take longgg luxurious baths, pour draino down our sinks,

we are good citizens, we pay our bills, support our government, buy houses, pay taxes, eat from the supermarkets, shop cheap, own 3 tv's, hold debt, and are trapped like chicken inside of a gaseous prison.

..

we are the total masters of the world, all of creation was meant for us, the gifted ones. All other previous creatures and heathens, living in squalor, terror, fear.. all of creation. We live in comfort, security, no worries, no stresses

We have won the race of evolution, we have conquered nature, she now responds to us. It's ok if we overpopulate the planet and destroy all of its resources, human beings will come with better technologly, desalination plants, weather modification machinery.

Well, yes we are destroying the earth systematically, but theres nothing i can do about it. What can i do? Its the system not me, i just do what i can to get by you know? Plus, i have my own stresses and hassles to worry about. I can't change anything, it has to be collective if its going to happen..

Fuck this, theres too much to think about. THe worlds ending in 2012, it won't matter anyways. Its already too late, the worlds fucked anyways. Whats the point in me doing or saying anything? No-ones really gonna listen.

What can i do? How can i help? Yea, im aware of it, but i don't know it thats true or not, i just hear it in the news.

Yea but that doesn't impact ME. Things look alright, i don't know any better.

THis is my experience, how should i know anything different?

There are the stories i've been told

These are the stories i've lived

These are the stories i've shared

Yea, i can see humanity is heading for destruction. Yea, telltale signs are everywhere.. I wish my government would do something.. Why should i change?? Why should i change if everyone around me is still doing the same shit. What difference will it make?

Fuck, what type of world am i leaving for my kids? I wish i wasn't stuck in debt, then i could do something. Man, i'm so busy, i just don't have time to be an activist. If i don't work this month and really give some time to figuring out my reality, i won't get paid, won't be able to live in my house, won't be able to buy food and will be a societal outcast that has to relyon their family and friends for support, or i'll be an unemployed hippie who because of his diminished financial status, won't have much claim to credibility in the world and won't impact a large worldview.

Shit, even this is taking me too long. It's all nice hippie talk. MY reality is i've got to go to work tommorow at 6 am in the steel mill. I don't even know what i am doing here...ugh, i feel sick, to my stomach.. i want to puke, shed my guts all over the brightly polished table.. i want to leave this prison, im tired, im lonely,im unhealthy, im depressed.. give me prozac, give me drugs.. ahh a few cold ones after work takes the edge off the day..I don't know what i'd do without my wife, cooking, cleaning.. she has to work aswell, no time for the kids.. they go to day school, they take their own bus home. Nah, we don't trust people in the neighbourhood, they're from all over the place.. yea our kids come home from school, do homework, and focus on improving themselves. They better get straight A's at schools, get scholarships, then they won't have to live the shithole of a life i have. They won't be trapped in this rat race, they'll get out of it. Education, a good job, who knows? THey may be a president or CEO, work their way up to the top. Thats right, my kids will be the best, get the best. But now they have the bust ass, get top grades at school. Social life is secondary, maybe they can go out on a weekend with some friends to a movie, or mini golf.. they've got to learn to get serious, to focus on their careers, what they want to be, how they are going to support themselves, get married, have children.

Man, i wish i was a kid again, i didn't really have much a childhood, i worked from a young age, supported my family. I wish i could just be carefree again, i remember those good ol' days, not a worry in the world, now im shouldering this momumental responsibility of my family and the pressure.. the debts are like an anvil crushing my chest, i feel like i'm breathing through a thin reed, like my life is cycling out of my control.. why.. why am i here.. what am i doing here! Im so depressed.. something is collapsing.. something is collapsing inside of me..


Man, this is a beautiful world, i cant believe that i am here! That i exist! Jeezzuz, this shit's insane. Trilions of strands of DNA, replicating in my body every 'second', the earth spinning around and flying in space, each time i breathe, oxygen flooding my bronchial tubes into my 'alvioli', filtering it through the blood which carries it to my body, flushing the oxygen deprived cells out through the arteries.. all actions occuring in this expanding frame of reference we call 'time'.. billions of atoms harmoniousl working together to create me, i need no further proof of god than my own body. The intelligence that created me and all these other amazing beings is beyond my understanding, unparalleled, beaautful. nature has incredible laws to balance itself out, time tested to keep natural cyckes in place.

I respect the intelligence that has created me, my brain, my senses, the world, the galaxies and the universe.

Man, if we really can be feeling anything, than why not feel gratitude? Love? Thats what we all want anyways isnt it? What if everyone could just drop all the bullshit and just love each other? Is that even possible? Holy shit, i am a hippie. But what the hippies were missing was the right story, to follow cohesively together and to convince everyone of the depth of their cause and motive.

All our cycles in nature, perfected to keep the system intact.. what a beautiful, brilliant intelligence at play.

Check out this computer! Guys.. really, im serious.. just THINK..about this shit for a second, whats happening, 300 million processors fit on this period... WOw, there really is a great intelligence at work here.. our DNA is like an amazing code, everything is this crazy cycle of energy, with the only replenishing source being the sun.. everytime we breathe, we are converting one form of energy into another utilized by our bodys, and excreting a form of energy that's used by all plants and life matter. We call it "oxygen", "carbon".."atp".. all words to describe certain structures of this phenomenon.. the complex laws of our energy movement that we try to understand using empirical causality, and quantum measurement..
SO dizzyingly complex, the god's are truly magical. We are lucky to exist, fortunate to exist.. the mere fact of my existance brings me so much bliss and joy..

how could i not love everyone and everything around me? All those who are asleep, i cannot blame them. I was once asleep.. trapped in my mind, trapped in a societal prison, trapped in a value, belief and thinking system that was ingrained in my mind. I was taught to be completely enchanted with my mind, and my ego.. like it was the totality of existance, like the entire universe was created for me and i could do what i bloody well pleased with it. Then, i had the headaches of the gods too!! Having to worry about being the stewards of the earth, is man ready to take on god's role? Clearly not, how do we hand back some of the power to the gods, gracefully, with humility and a bit of shame. Will they take it back, or have we already proved our unworthiness? Its ok, all i can do now is be the loving, free, open being i am! Ahhh.. i feel it, i feel the bliss, i feel the onesness with nature, with all beings.. i feel myself as a field of energy, a unit of consciousness vibrating. Why is there so much unhappiness around me.. it seems that no-body can relinquish their story.. aren't they telling better ones??

Are people even aware of themselves, of the possibilities of unity, of community, of sharing, of expansion, of conscious elevation? Ahhh yes, these things take time. They have knowledge of these things, but little direct experience, and even if they did, they still live in the "real world", in the oppresive system of old paradigm economic interaction, of politics, law, marriage and children, jobs and stresses, cars and wages, hockey games, suburbia, 'development', 'profit' and the rest of the hoomlah.

They are scared.. they feel the invisible frequency fence strangling them. THey try to reach out, and they touch each other, but they are still scared of each other. Still powerless, because a true leader has not come to unite them. Has not passionately delivered the alternative story so convincingly and rousingly, that they each feel it at the core of their hearts, and are willing to do ANYTHING it takes in that moment to LIVE that story. Pool together resources, share their homes, share their food, cook for each other, nurture each other.. live in harmony with nature and living systems, give back to the environment MORE than they take from it, plant food and fruit trees everywhere possible to make the land abundant again, invest education into our spiritual path, our conscious evolution, teach children the true meaning of happiness, of ego, of bliss... hold firm that the only real truth is love. New ways of economic interaction, new ways of justice, new ways of being, of thinking, of educating our youth. All of these things naturally stemming from a new story about HOW human beings can interact to achieve TRUE spiritual happiness, elevation and peace..


What new story is better than the one we have been given? Well, i suppose we'll write it together won't we? I'll try my hand in another blog. Here are a few steps in the meantime.

Step 1. Meditate. Allow yourself space and silence to discover your truth. Take a journey into consciousness, if you have not touched divinity, there is no point reading further.

Step 2. Determines one's individual truth, what is the point of existance? To be happy? Our re-ascension, our conscious elevation, englightenment, full expression of beingness, love, bliss? Allow one a space for transformational experiences of consciousness, create a unified methodology for one to get in touch with their greater selves.

Step 3. Understand ourselves as a collection of values, worldviews, belief systems, and our own direct experience filtered through our lenses.

Step 4. Understand money as a flow of energy, understand at a root level how it is being manipulated, and harmonize yourself with a new way of ascertaining value based on a planetary ethic that takes into account our human relationship with the environment and each other.


Step 5. Contextuaize. Reframe the worldview. Repattern ones belief systems. Understand 'Culture', how it is created, the power of story, the unconscious story that has formulated the basis of our culture over the last 10,000 years.
"leavers" Story
"takers" Story
"sharers" Story

Step 6. Deliver the new story, the story of the sharers, the story of unity consciousness, the story of love and mutual co-existance..


Step 7. Join a proven, demonstrable model (system) of organization that allows you to live your ideal life without stress or worry, a system of mutual co-operation, benefit, and support. (They do exist, believe it or not)



Step 8. Refer back to step 1
