Walking the line between sensuality and reality leaves me a little dizzy. ‘Give me Freedom or give me Death’ is obsolete. There are varying shades of freedom and death in Blueray and Digital surrounding me. A colorful vortex sucks at my bones; luring me with promises that I know will leave me docile. Jump in, be happy!
Fraud discovered humans had feelings we repressed because they were too dangerous: remnants of our animal past. As he witnessed the horror of war mounting; he believed war to be terrible evidence of exactly how we should have expected people to behave given the knowledge of our psychoanalysis.
I surmise that our ‘animal past’ may have given us limited ability to communicate; and as a result we were more inclined to battle for what we wanted. However, our evolution into intelligent beings, with increased communication skills should have curtailed our nature to battle for what we want. Is it our ‘animal past’ that keeps us in ‘battle’? Or, is it purely economics that keeps us in battle? How big is the business of War? Over 50% of Federal Funds are spent on war! Is it no wonder its the most popular commodity being sold to the American people? Who profits?
“The normal profits of a business concern in the United States are six, eight, ten, and sometimes twelve percent. But war-time profits – ah! that is another matter – twenty, sixty, one hundred, three hundred, and even eighteen hundred per cent – the sky is the limit. All that traffic will bear. Uncle Sam has the money. Let’s get it. Of course, it isn’t put that crudely in war time. It is dressed into speeches about patriotism, love of country, and “we must all put our shoulders to the wheel,” but the profits jump and leap and skyrocket – and are safely pocketed. Let’s just take a few examples:”
Fraud’s American nephew, Edward Bernays was the first man to show American corporations how to make people want what they do not need; manipulating the masses; linking mass produced goods to our unconscious desires. Out of this a new political idea of how to control the masses: by satisfying peoples inner selfish desires, one made them happy and thus docile. The start of the all consuming ‘Self’ which is come to dominate the world today!
Armed with this knowledge American Corporations learned how to package and present anything they could make a ‘buck’ on to the American people…war was dressed in patriotic speeches and love of country becoming the ultimate commodity for those who would benefit.
Jump in, be happy! The American Dream is your ‘fix’! Everything comes with a promise. Be careful what you buy…defining and understanding the ingredients are crucial to your life. How do you know who keeps their promise? Who can you trust? Trust is much more than a name. How can you chose without knowing? How do you find out? You have to spend precious time. It takes time to filter through all the muck out there. If you are not taking the time to filter through the information; a colorful vortex is sucking at your bones; luring you with promises that are leaving you docile.
Education is one of the Pillar Posts of humanities foundation. Everyone must have equal education. Unless we each have similar knowledge we can not sustain ourselves. Until every individual has equal resources; which begins with a sound and equal education, someone is left behind. And as president George Bush said, “no child left behind’. What surprises me most is that we have sadly neglected this most important foundation to our society. ‘When one of us suffer, so shall we all’. Without equal knowledge we are devalued. Everyone suffers. Society’s chaos; wars abound across the planet and Death marks its tracks; and the wounded seem to disappear. Everyone looking to feel good with little left to believe in and grasping at the American Dream with all their might!
Society’s management and organizational skills are undisciplined, uncoordinated; contributing to the planetary shifting and species extinction… as our weakened immunity leaves us diseased and dying.
Solutions to this bleak reality does not exist in continuing the model we created…it is NOT working! We need new kind of ‘Paradigm’. Whenever given the opportunity and mechanism to do so, people are good, kind and supportive. There are new ‘paradigms’. New ‘opportunities and mechanisms’ to be apart of. We simply must not give up our pioneering spirit.
I’ve worked hard for some piece of the American Dream for almost 70 years. I’ve come up with a tiny bit…and I could probably stop with what I have. However, my ‘pioneering spirit’ and my nature to be ‘good, kind and supportive’ will not let me be content just to be. I’ve a vision that we can be all that is good in the world. Through my ‘looking glass’ I’ve found some ‘new paradigms’. If you are visionary enough and can learn to trust a little more you will seek out these ‘new paradigms’ and change our History! Here is one such new ‘paradigm‘!
Happy Visionary Trails!
