This week I saw maybe the time has come for a radical world shift

What has been just disconnected ideas and a spectral mist suddenly took the form of a solid something that could be believed in last week - that the human race is on the cusp of change - and astronomical change. The more I take a stand for what I see as true the more I see almost everything to be wrong - subtle not wholesale - but infected by the disease of falsity in every direction.

The root is that we are grounded in a history and past which is no longer relevant. We are descended from people who lived under the authority of kings, whose understanding of the world was limited, whose lives were dominated by inefficient material production, who conceived in terms of small tribal and familial associations, who were governed either by the wishes of their masters or their own needs.

Today those old ideas manifest in what are becoming increasingly irrelevant entities like nation, government, job. The struggle by governments today to reign people in with intense propaganda is becomming progressively desperate and at the same time transparent. The conspiracy theorists talk of "double speak" and the manipulation of states by a proposed illuminati when it seems the opposite to me; that the illusions we have lived under forever for example in the days of Queen Elizabeth or the Vatican or Lincoln - these great personality cults, these great "images" - are more transparent and ridiculous than ever before. The absurd belief that a handful of men can really manage the mass, a belief that has given them the apparent ability to do this, has in reality only hyponotised the mass to forget itself. It is the drugging of the mass by ideas (not by an illuminati but by its own innate ability to delude itself - after all the leaders are born of the mass themselves) which is evaporating before my eyes.

Realities are pressing and breaking the myth that man made "laws" have any standing in the world. Each person has direct access to the Laws, to what was once called God, using their own being and existence to examine - this is the message of Protestantism, of the Buddha, of good science of the most learned Aryans. It stands in contrast to the message that the mass must be controlled as taught by Nazism, Sunni Islam and the Catholic church. If there is a conflict here it will come from the latter as they are amassed by their leaders. But, who they will attack will be harder to determine as there is no mass who belief the opposite and no leaders who represent them! Even as someone choses to submit to a worldly manifestation of "islam" (as opposed to the divine Islam which has no worldly name or association) this choice they make is made by them - they already enact the Law in their very choice of which written law to follow.

Government can talk but the realities of the economic system are coming out. Governments can talk but the realities of the environmental system are coming out. Lies, deceit and false belief can not supress Reality forever. Each one of us, once the illusions of deceit have washed away, has our own eyes that can see truth as easily as for any man who bears eyes.

So the questions that fundamentally arise when for example we see that employment was a system that belonged to kings and feudal systems, where taxes were taken from people by force to support the non-productive lives of the rulers - who claimed to protect the people from invasion by other rulers, but who were more interested in protecting their own right to take taxes: a system which with hindsight seems self justifying. Nothing has changed, only the names: and now we are taxed in stealth by central banks printing money and causing inflation, by bank bailouts claiming like our once Feudal Knights that we could not live without them and therefore had to pay for them: ruling is non-productive - and today where we have more rulers than ever before we must work in an age of machines paradoxically harder than ever before to support them. Or the question that arises when we realise in later life that absolutely nothing we were taught at school had anything to do with Life itself. And, worse schooling is being transformed to prepare people not for life, not even for the world these days but simple for a job. Is that all we can imagine their life has become, a robot in the economic production system?

It is a world following a vector set long ago with almost no creativity and no imagination for what life is about. Put bluntly we imagine we are still like animals. We forage for whatever we can get and when the opportunity arises or our cunning affords we steal from our fellow creatures to make as big a nest as we can get away with. That is all our lives really amount to: bacteria in a petri-dish.

But, goes the cry this is hopelessly hyperbolic! there is humanity everwhere: people helping each other out on a daily basis, artists struggling to birth the beautiful and inspiring or thoughtful, people like myself writing about something with no apparent gain, people battling to be the Best they can be - not for personal greed or gain but for an ancient instinct in some Virtue, some Goodness, some Nobility, some Enlightenment. Even that guy in my last post struggling even at his lowest moment not to be violent. Where was the gain? Exactly! this is the very struggle which lights up the rest as ignorance. This is the nature which gives Life its name.

It really seems to me that the tide has shifted this week against the backdrop of the ship of imaginary wealth lurching and heaving open upon the storm rocks, battered by the fury and thunderous arcing spray of the midnight waters: the papers say it was the bow timbers which split first, that is why water came aboard, but had the ship not been heading the wrong way in the wrong sea things would have been more different than ever can be imagined. And, we think this storm is bad, it is already nothing compared with the storm raging in the environment and worse still the storm that rages in the hearts of Man - but were these ships not sailing the wrong way in the wrong seas things would more different than ever can be imagined.

Indeed just a glimmer of belief that maybe I do have a destination here, and that my own journey to understand life has not been mistaken in the vast expanse of ocean. That it does chart a reasonable course. That life is not about endless production, days of toil, making and spending of money, struggling for status and social heirachy, struggling to gain that which we want, or even the crayoned imagined opposites dreamed by some in the 60s: but rather the discovery of satisfaction and peace and the kind of Love which is boundless and can be given to anyone and the realisation that these alone fully satisfy in every way with no remainder all that transpires in that word Life and which sets us at once ready to accept Death in the same breath free from the mascarade of shadow puppets and worldly phantoms which populate our current waking fantasies.
