perfectly rational adjustment to the insane world." ~R.D.Lang
The End Of
The World As We Know It
On a personal level, one possible result of a world
gone mad is 'TEOTWAWKI':
for some this event happened when their homes were destroyed by conspiratorial (GWB's
sanity ) world leaders who unleashed
the 'dogs of war' (Iraq).
And for others TEOTWAWKI happened when their pensions were stolen (government
sanctioned) by corporate America (UA Pensions) or their jobs ended and they were suddenly homeless (Corporate fleecing of America)(death of small towns)(HR2106
). Are we now living in the theater of the absurd? The
media whores (wnbc.com) would have you
believe that corporate America has your best interest at heart. And the current US
administration's poster boy~pill head
tries to convince you that all is normal. Is there any sanity left in this world: you be the judge?
Pedophiles in the Catholic church~Parents killing their children~Terrorism in schools~Serial Killers~Drugs and Crime~Domestic violence~Death toll from 20th century wars~Perpetual Global War~Cannabalism in the modern world~Shockumentry
obsession of the public~{"pervert
of the day" CNN news 6/1/05}
~TV
viewers bloodlust~Road
Rage:Eurpean style~Road Rage:American
style~Ethnic
cleansing
This list is endless and the atrocities,
brutality and depravity {Bellefontaine,
Ohio} of humans has reached epidemic
proportions. For some TEOTWAKI is
designed by the "Law Of
The Jungle ": {Philosophical
perspective}, and for others it is prompted by the
color of their skin {crimes of hate}{Jasper Texas }.
Many of us believe that in our lifetime a Polar Shift will occur which will act
as a frontier equalizer (Sam Colt) for all the ills of the
world. The simple truth is that every atrocity listed in this newsletter will
continue as potential 'action' in every survivor of polar shift. When coupled with charismatic
sociopaths and hoards of willing victims, the theater of the
absurd will thrive and human depravity will reign. Earth Changes {and
other world wide
catastrophes} will not have any effect on our level of Morality
and Ethics . There are those who think that earth change is a prime reason
for relinquishing basic ethics, for the sake of
survival, In
A World Gone Mad. And it is that egocentric attitude which brought
about the above list of atrocities since the dawn of
mankind. There are non-egocentric life paths in the realm of existence {Elementals} {Service To Others} which grace the
spirit. Survival at any cost flatters neither the Soul nor it's Creator.
Practical survival (predator-nightmare) after
earth changes {the assumption is that there is no organized
society to provide aid} is certainily a challenge to spirit and physical
comfort, however it is not an insurmountable problem. The theater
of the absurd is not closed down by earth changes and therefore one should
keep in mind the words of Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit
atrocities." (See the June 2nd newsletter on 'gullibility'.)
If you manage to survive the horrendous onslaught of earth changes you
need to be prepared to dig out of the hollocaust and engage basic survival methods (food,
shelter, heat and first aid). This comes from having prepared an escape plan and a bug out bag. Eventually
you will run out of emergency provisions and will need to search for food and water.
There is a plethora of survival
information on the net and most of it is free. But
do be careful, there are some who will take advantage of peoples fears. You managed
to survive an insane society therefore you are already an expert survivalist. If
there is a basic necessary item for survival it comes in the form of 'common sense' and
not equipment. Eventually all equipment will fail, but you can survive without it.
If your common sense fails you will die with or without equipment. If your sense of
ethics fails, survival is rather pointless and self respect becomes nothing more than a
shadowy memory.
Third dimensional existence is one big wonderful journey of the joy of discovery.
And in the infinite grace of the creator we are given the gift of death which moves us
towards completion and allows us to rekindle all hopes and dreams. Jill's poetry of
'Concentric Illusions' reminds us of the splendor of our 3rd dimensional existence.
Concentric Illusions
We arrive
as a bubble in an elegant prism
The spark of creation glows in each human heart
Myriad shapes of sound and vibration appear, ever shifting
As through light and through shadow we spin with the breath of the Universe
A kaleidoscope of color - A mirage of the mind
A cacophony of voices express pain, or delight
A tapestry of infinite design reflects in the heavens
Constantly woven and altered by each dance of choice
Apart and as one we swirl through Time
. . .The keeper of our concentric illusions
In your search for sanity in
a 'world gone mad' you might want to read 'A Road Less
Traveled' by M. Scott Peck. For a short
reprieve from 'world insanity' visit the web site of Chris Tannlund. It is extremely
well written with a potpourri of reflections regarding his own spiritual quest {don't miss
"Blinded By The Light": it is
intriguing}. And if all else fails in your quest for understanding 'epidemic world
madness' join Joseph Heller as he explores circular reasoning in his humorous
novel 'Catch 22': or watch the movie. There are no simple answers
to any of these dilemmas, however Don's post of: "Don't Let
Anyone Steal Your Joy" is a reminder that "Happiness
is a state of mind" (see note
from Nevyn below).
Wishing you a cool head and a warm heart,
Love From The
Enchanted Forest
Jill and Nevyn

Note From Nevyn: While writing this news letter my
life circumstances took a very unexpected turn into a rather dark pit of conflicts.
Unfortunately it was all too easy to fall into the rythmic pace of the beating drums
of 'anger'. But then I came across Don's article and
like of 'breath of fresh air' my thoughts became immediately
less jumbled and I began to reflect on the positive rather than the negative. The 'life
circumstances' have not changed, but they no longer effect my emotional state of
mind. Thanks Don!
