~~~~~Janitors & Custodians~~~~~

Human Beings. Homo Sapiens. As our overidentifiction with our time bound egos fragments.......our consciousness, our lives, and our planet.......we miss all the life and intelligence that surrounds us. We think too highly of ourselves. We think that we are the culmination of all species. God's masterpiece. But are we really?

There are 14 or so spacetime galaxies in Earth's proximity.......all destined to come together....as one.....and.....our Milky Way galaxy and Andromeda are among them......and as they do 'this dance'.....the surfaces of the habitable planets within their star systems are regularly bombarded with the violence of meteors and radiation.......'clearing their surfaces' for the evolution of new species. This is 'the dance' the known universe does. Everything comes and goes.

Mankind has violently done what it usually takes astronomical events to do....clear the surface of a planet and prepare it for new species to evolve.....the effects of our 'industry' lead 100 species a day into extinction. Death. The universe has created in Mankind the '1st species' to do it's 'dirty work' for it....for in the past.....only supervolcanos and pole shifts.....geological events.....'cleared the deck'....'shook the etch-o-sketch'.......and.....'set the stage'......for the arrival of many new species....a new 'epoch' in the Earth's 'continual drama'.

We are just 'in house' janitors and custodians.....'clear-cutting' the surface of our planet....for the 'next crop' of species. Our time bound egos' blinding us' to the fact that the universe does not hold us 'any more dearly' than it did the dinosaur.....we are the cause of the 6th great extinction of species....on this planet. Mankind is just a 'hired hand'.........a 'temporary species'.....and a 'janitor' of sorts. We are really not a very good 'custodian'............at all.

And the dance goes on......

 

Where Is The Humility?

The fact that these two men are so successful that they need no introduction, that they are indeed famous, says something about the America of today. Sure America is a porno cult of personalities and needs its supply of people to feed the 24/7 media machinations of celebrity, but these two? Prudes. Oh they use(d) drugs and fundamental ideologies to block out their realities, but they underline the pervasive net of fear that exists within our society. White men running this country is a thing of the past. A new multi-cultural mix is self evident in the young people you see on our city streets and these two pander for control of a society whose racial bedrock has shifted under their feet. And so? They are bombastic and yell alot, thinking that they know the truth and want to point us in it's direction. And Truth? Is it not a living thing connected to all and everything? Love, beauty, death, and truth all facets of the same Life? That which is One? Native American Indians lived their lives more fully in harmony with America than the white man ever did, and these two white men represent our fears. They stand for thought trying to control the uncontrolable, and within the shallowness of their ideologies and philosophies, they both have become American icons. They don't live, they tell others how to live. They feed their followers only dead words. They are our examples, for they show us what is dead.
