An interesting discussion today.

I shared an interesting discussion today. One of my favorite people that I work with shared her thoughts today. I find her to be very advanced in comprehension of life.
She said to me that it is almost like people today are dead. I agreed. We discussed that the people of today, especially the youth, seem to be self-focused, lack creativity, and require constant stimulus. We agreed the children of the twenty first century do not have proper focus and concentration. The children of the twenty first century are not taught history, math, and language skills required for a proper functioning social order.
Without communicating and functioning order chaos will result. Chaos will result quickly when the stimuli, comfort, and lifestyle are taken away. We do no longer know how to deal socially with other humanity.
This has happened quickly over the last century. Industrialization did play its part, but in these last twenty years humanity has not only isolated itself in suburban city centers, the community has disappeared. Jobs are no longer local. Jobs are centralized in cities. We traverse from a suburb cubicle called house into a metal cubicle called car. We leave the cubicle car to a cubicle called office. The driving and work cycle is generally ten to eleven hours of a 24-hour day. We should use eight hours of sleep per day. This leaves us primarily four to five hours per day. We spend this time in our house cubicle with family. Or do we spend time with our family. A man is expected to fix, repair, or landscape. The woman is expected to cook, clean, and care for the offspring. While the adults may be accomplishing their tasks, the offspring are being entertained with techno products.
In the evening the children may isolate their minds with video games while their parents isolate their minds with TV and or cellular conversations. Every room has a television. Families now have two and maybe up to four computers. Every family member has a cellular phone keeping in contact with unseen acquaintances through electronic conversation and texting. Texting shortcuts remove even more the understandable languages of communication. Within our family units that are already lost in the isolation from community we are isolating the individual from the family.
Truly we are the walking dead. Without understanding our environment, developing our community, and respecting our family, we are the walking dead. Humanity cannot survive without identity. Identity dies without communication, family, and community.
My friend noted that we are so isolated from each other we have lost compassion and respect. I could not agree more.
We sadly lack in understanding what respect is. Respect has nothing to do with the current fashion trend, new techno gadget, video expertise, or simply put, ‘who has the most toys’. Respect is complicated. Respect is understanding your environment, interacting with community, and communicating with family to understand your identity.
Separating from community and family creates confusion in identity creating stress and chaos.
Our current lifestyles are extremely destructive. We are rapidly losing are ability to create, restore, and maintain identity. We are being marketed our perceptions instead of developing our individual perception by experience, communication, and family heritage. When our perceptions are controlled by marketed perceptions and controlled stimuli we as a society lose creativity. When a society loses creativity the stagnation begins. Stagnation is the first step in decomposition. On a global scale humanity is decaying.
All of this means that when a natural and or a financial disaster occurs the people will not be able to survive. There will be violent chaos. Destruction of each other will be Apocalyptic.
Hear my words!
Those attuned to nature and the environment will survive. Learn from these errors. Family, Community, and Education including history of the family will help develop a better world.
Do not create a God in man’s image. Do not create a religion to control. Follow the path of the true ancients. Blend with and understand nature. Appreciate and value all life from the tiny grain of sand to the whale shark. Understand the life cycle and see the beauty of the universe including the one planet we share with all life.
We can make a choice to embrace absolute destruction of all mankind or build a new and better world.

Skeletons at the Feast - call to understand our need today.

I recommend reading Skeletons at the Feast. Read it to understand the reality of war and the destruction this dark side and insanity of leadership brings with it for all peoples on earth. It is time to look inside and build a new world.
I do not view this story as history, a rehash of the holocaust, or another WWII story.
I view the book as a reminder of the war we are involved in now. Does anyone comprehend the horror of war other than the people that must live and die in it? What happened in 1944 and 1945 is being repeated in the Middle East.
We as Americans today are crumbling under the costs of insane leadership. We must choose to eat or buy gas. We are beginning to feel the economic fall of our country under the burden of an insane and cruel war for the benefit of insane leadership and the power lust and greed of a few.
The Germans, Jews, Prisoners of War, and Russians are being played out yet again. This time there are the American, Muslims, Sunnis, and camps. The brutality of soldiers on either side continues, the horrors of death and destruction, the horrors of brutality and bestiality of mankind, and suffering of innocent families is real. It is not some story we read and tsk about things in the past. We pompously condemn the Germans and Russians as animals without conscience. We condemn the Germans for closing their eyes to the insanity of their leader.
I have my eyes open as I read this book and see the past repeated. I see the insanity of our leaders. I feel the terror and sadness of a family I have corresponded with in Iraq. This family like the others was a prosperous middle class people that had to abandon their house, friends, and wealth to survive. They are Sunnis fleeing to Syria and trying desperately to find work and survive. There are prisoners of war tortured by Americans and Muslims not for information, but the thrill of bestiality. The dark nature of man is on both sides. There is excitement to control and degrade others.
I know a woman from Nicaragua who as a child was in the middle of political war in her country. This woman as a child had an automatic weapon held to her head. What other horrors happened to others I do not know. This is the reality of war. It is not just the death of soldiers and camps, it includes the suffering of innocents.
No my fellow readers, this is a story of reality. This is a story of today. This is a story of what war is regardless of any time period.
WWII fact will match the fact of the Korean conflict, the Vietnam Conflict, Desert Storm, our current Iraq conflict, and yes more wars to come. Some day you just might be in the middle of the terror.

Perceptions are our Reality

I am an avid reader as well as an author. My reading is eclectic, but I stay in fiction genre. One of the reasons is as an author I realize it is through fiction many truths can be revealed without fear of repercussion. I write truth mixed with fiction to help write a more accurate sociological history as opposed to textbook conqueror derived history.
I finished reading Mangrove Coast and Dead of Night by Randy Wayne White. The truth mixed in with fiction is incredible. I also finished reading The Whole Truth by David Baldacci is also filled with frightening reality.
As a child my father advised that if I wanted the truth I needed to listen to both sides of a story and the truth would be in the middle. I have developed my own mantra. “There is fact in fiction and fiction in fact.”
Perception is our reality. We need to find accurate perceptions and not be led blindly by other perceptions.

Observe our Environment

The older I get, the more observant I have become. Recently I have discovered that I can eat Cactus. It grows well in Florida. Around my home I have several large Prickly Pear Cactus. I tried the Tuna. They are delicious. I tried eating nopales. They are delicious. I originally planted the cactus to protect my windows from peeping toms. The bedroom windows face the road and I didn’t want anyone accidentally glancing in and seeing a nightmare shock. I am older and my body is anything but sleek, elegant, or something wonderful to look at. I chose Prickly Pear because you do nothing to grow it. You simply throw an ear on the ground and let it grow. Unbelievably I have one that is 15 feet high and 8 feet wide after only 5 years. The front porch has another Prickly Pear close to the same size.
This is the point I am trying to bring across. Many people are planning to face the upcoming disaster that will strike the United States. I was asked what is going to be the monetary unit. Currently, the answer would be Euro Dollars. The European market is much stronger than ours. The workers are much happier and kept better than US workers. When the global disaster comes, we should be aware there wouldn’t be any monetary unit. No matter how much money you have, it will have no value. Diamonds, precious stones, gold, or silver will no longer have value. What will have value are clean water, food, and shelter.
In my dotage I have becoming more aware of my environment. I have started studying cultures that survive simply and in harmony with nature. All of our current food products will no longer be available. You will not be able to stockpile food reserves for any great length of time since our foods are processed and will spoil after a length of time known as shelf life. We will have to once again grow our food without starving between the different growing seasons. One way to survive is to learn and understand the natural grocery store surrounding us.
I was talking to my neighbor today. She was proudly showing me a natural ground cover she had discovered. We had discussed ceasing the growing of English lawn grass and allowing natural drought resistant ground covers to take over. The plant she showed me was a succulent. She had a natural cactus appearing in her yard without human intervention. It made me understand instantly that nature is already changing because of the climactic changes. Florida is no longer a sub tropical place. It is turning into an arid land. We should start paying more attention to what is already happening around us. We should learn what natural foods surround us and it is not a frozen dinner or McDonalds.

The Ancient Wisdoms

Once again I have heard of the coming of Armageddon. The end of the world nears. The references to I Ching, the Torah, the Great Pyramid, the Mayan Calendar, Nostradamus, and of course the prophecy of Malachi. The end is scheduled for December 21, 2012.
How this end is supposed to occur, no one really knows. Or do they? If the end is to come by a massive shift in orbit when all planets align, the astronomers already know. If the end is to come by a massive meteor slamming into earth, the astronomers already know. I believe it is one of the above.
Why? The ancients were far more aware of their environment than this current highly technical, self centered, ego centered, and destructive society. The ancients understood the movement of the universe and the energy entwined. It wasn’t until the destructive ego centered Euro Caucasians conquered the earth that this knowledge was lost and destroyed. The Euro Caucasians were completely ego centered and would not tolerate any knowledge superior to their own. Besides, a conquered race must be kept ignorant to keep them in control.
A new religion was created by the ego centered to accomplish this feat of control. The religion was created by man for Euro Caucasian man. The God was created by Euro Caucasian man in the image of Euro Caucasian man. This new religion was excelled at keeping man ignorant and therefore in control.
In this technical world of the twentieth century, humanity started using the mind and seeking wisdom of the ancients. This could not be tolerated. High tech toys were created to keep the new generation fixated with games. Our planet Mother Earth was pillaged and raped by the destroyers. The masses have once again born ignorance.
Consider the current Twenty First century. We are controlled completely by religion. The God Man Image is disputed and argued to gain control of land, natural resources, and power for a select few. Our food stuffs are polluted with hormones and toxins to keep our slave life short. The old and wise are fired and murdered by medical insurances out for profit and to keep the youth fit enough in servitude. The youth will not live to long since their bodies are poisoned with toxins and hormones. Cancers will ravage the youth and religion control provides for re population of the slave labor force. The difference is the youth don’t have a clue to the reality. The youth are too fixated on the high tech, self important, self indulgent, and ego centered lifestyle to understand what is happening to them.
Ah yes, this all began in the 1970’s. I fell into it. So did a lot of others, but we wise to seek the truth of the ancients. Now we must be destroyed.
Destruction will not occur. Mother Earth will not destroy. She will cleanse herself. The cleaning will be the new World. This is not a time to fear. It is a time to understand. This is a time to rejoice. For all who are wise to learn, do so know. Start becoming aware of your environment. Accept the change about to happen and be as the Willow Tree. Do not stand firm against the wind. Bend with the wind.
Do not focus on the material and food you have now. You will not survive with it. Study the ancients. Study the animals. Follow their path when Mother Earth cleanses herself. If you do this, you will be the good and wonderful future on our new and cleansed planet.
