How does this current state of madness end? Do we go blissfully down
the path that leads to extermination camps, as it looks from here now to
me, or what?
Some imagine an awakening and a return to sanity. How would that look?
What signs should we be looking for? How can we facilitate it?
Some think these changes are good. That they lead to our prosperity.
How does that work?
And the faithful, how does this work for you? Is this in keeping with your
vision of a Christian world? Does the current administration give you
hope for better? If so, how do we get from here to there?
I, personally, think this is a one way street to a complete collapse of not
only our economy but our biosphere as well. I think of these changes as
life threatening, and don’t think anything will stop them short of a violent
intervention.
What do you think?

Ripples. Ripples in the pond spreading out and covering far and wide.
A friend of mine sent this message out in the internet today:
I may not be able to change the whole world, but I’m going to do my
damnedest to improve the world directly around me.
If each person who is worried about our country, feeling impotent, feeling
despair, seeing the future bleak and broken, having no idea how to begin,
if they consciously worked to improve the world directly around
themselves, was kind, uplifted others both physically and emotionally,
created a circle of wellness, the ripples could fill this big pond of America
and create healthy enduring change.
They have worked very hard to make us doubt ourselves and everything
we hear and see. But We the People hold power. We’ve done it before,
saved ourselves, and we can do it again. One ripple to another…

Yes, ma'am...just exactly so... ;)
The power of each single human being's *heart* to generate
those ripples is inestimable...as is the creative synergy
of their connecting... ;)
Sure do miss you, etc.! Big Love to you... ;)

That movie I just mentioned brought all those
ideas/thoughts into the film- a simple movie and kind of
fun.

Harold and the Purple Crayon is a picture book written and illustrated by
Crockett Johnson and published in 1955. I watched the trailer of the movie
coming in August. Thank you. Much fun if we all had a purple crayon and
the imagination to use it. But as all the chaos ensues in the trailer, I’m
thinking once again, our intent needs to be in creating wellness around us,
creating a powerful positive for mankind that overcomes the intent of
those who are aiming to destroy whatever is in their path.
Yes, reach for the child within. Isn’t it always “ the little child that leads
them?” :)

the movie but it concludes with order and peace. :)

Our economy is built on corporate irresponsibility and
"more" -- endless greed and there are differing ways to
approach the disaster ahead. The cold hearted
capitalist way is through dominance so only the bullies
win. The billionaires prefer this as money is evidence
of both entitlement and superiority, and the minions
echo the chorus of praise. They surf advantage and
peril to greater wealth and further evidence of
superior station. Rather than control and lengthen the
chaos they hurry it along to direct the flow.
So to create the highest, most dangerous waves is just
the easiest, quickest way to weed out the undesirables,
confuse and send them to harmless war with one another.
They welcome violent intervention and have been
stumping for civil war through their media channels for
30 years. The language is getting more lethal and more
prominent voices are echoing it but it's the same
message.
Rather than save lives and the biosphere they,
according to their predatory world view, they act as
though they believe there is more to be gained by
picking off the "lemmings" as they race to the cliff.
The one-issue and other trumplican followers are
confused as their particular issues, lied about and
denied, hits home, friends and relatives hurting
irrevocably by loss of freedoms, safety, future and
health. These are not the ones we should be thinking
of fighting, they are ripe for deprogramming.
Forget the vampires. Let them starve as the light
blinds them and focus goes to their own actions
breaking the chains of the hypnotic trance of the
followers on which they depend. Vampires won't get far
without blood.
"For hatred can never put an end to hatred; love alone
can. This is an unalterable law."

Solutions? If you’re looking to me for the way forward I am sorry to
disappoint.. I find this life of mine has been more as a witness than a
visionary. More as a chronicler than a leader.. I’ve watched others
wrestling with those concerns more than I have myself stood up and lead
the way.. but sometimes, though I haven’t a clue what’s around the next
maga bend in the road.
I was asking my OP because I’d truly like out of my own, what I’d call, low
resolution visions. Low resolution because they are base.. animalistic..
beastual.. and I’d love to supplant them with a higher.. angelic view. I
know shadow hints at.. that etc. confirms (and yes etc. it’s wonderful to
see you again).. but I am still trying to wrap myself around.. and yeah it’s
time to get real.. although you, akira, obviously have no idea.. no hints..
no guidance to offer.. no vision, other than to replace Joe with Don and
blissfully complain on and on..
Whereas me.. I’m looking to get beyond this vision of the capital building
blowing up with all of congress and the supremes, and the executive
gathering inside.. that suggests it’s the way.. I’d really like to shake it off..
see us rising into a better day without all that drama..
The thing is, akira, there’s a lot of that around.. visions of Christ rising
from the flames of a nuclear holocaust.. Jerusalem has to blah blah blah
for the second coming.. all the visions of our demise being a requirement
for our salvation nonsense.. I’m just trying to navigate through.. out of
that broken record..
But hey, thanks for sharing your ideas akira.

(Not that ao is the bullying type, nor has he shown that
behavior that I've ever seen...what I see from him, and
what I see from myself toward you at times, is hitting
back at how you attack and diss those whom you see as not
expressing outrage toward inhumanity, in their posts, as
you need to see it to know they're on the same page with
you in terms of a humane, compassionate stance toward
others...even when it's clear from other things they say
where their hearts truly live...
Ryan recently made the remark to you that assuming and
pronouncing these kinds of judgements upon others as if
they are valid is *beneath you*... I don't think you even
registered the compliment he paid you, there, in holding
that gentle mirror...but I agree with him...)

Cowboy up and quit attacking as if there were something
