Buried Alive
The world is in delicate balance? U.S. armed forces are helping
hundreds of thousands of Tsunami survivors. Isn't this a better
idea than blowing the living shit out of people, places and
things? We are seeing the future, our future when resources are
consistently brought to collective constructive purpose. The past
however still looms as a deep wave in the psyche. This week
conflict breaks out in the devastated areas. Old prejudice and
hatred blooms from the shock. People are only now beginning to
feel what they have lost. Abandonment and betrayal patterns are
coming to light. This is true in the collective, not just the
devastated areas. Indonesia is paying a very large karmic debt
for their abuses in East Timor. The oppressor will act out in
oppressive ways and will be seen. Take a look at your own
patterns of oppression. Don't make them real but do see them. You
can make new choices beyond the bondage of bondage.
Death is in the air but the heaviness is lifting. As usual, it
will take time to be felt at the surface of experience. The only
thing you have ever lost is your identification as your own
consciousness. All the rest of the drama in the Dream is a
distraction from claiming your own consciousness. Dharma and
drama are the same thing. They just go round and round. You are
not duty bound. You can't fix what is broken. You cannot heal the
dilemma of it all. You can fix and heal all you want in the
material and spiritual realms but the karma continues. Dharma is
the justification of the karma. The path is a sacred rut that
goes in circles, most notably a spiral that offers higher ground
that in turn will bring you to lower ground, Boddhisatva style.
Dissolution from your identification in the mind, in the Dream,
in the drama clears suffering for you. If you clear it for you,
others may get tired of their suffering but ultimately their
suffering is their own movie. Help others as you choose but drop
the identification that such efforts will redeem you or them.
This grind of going up and down and round and round is being felt
now. The effort of good over bad and bad over good does nothing
to solve the problem of suffering. It makes it better in change
but in turn it will be worse and on and on. A media report stated
that the children of Sri Lanka are taught to enchant upon
awakening in the morning that Sri Lanka is paradise. Then,
inevitably, the Wheel turns......... The bejeweled isle will be
a paradise some time again but suffering goes on. The New York
Times pointed out that Sri Lanka has had the most suicide bombers
in the world over the years. Their civil war is atrocious and
attritious. Religion and caste and all the splits are not mended
by unity. The effort to unify only maintains the splits in
identification. All the splits of manifestation are products of
the mind. The worst is spiritual mind. More will be revealed as
these years proceed. The spiritual solutions are a problem. There
is inherent denial within dogma. Ascendancy will be seen to
promote dissension in descension. What goes up will be slammed
down over and over again. Pray and realize that you pray to
escape being prey only to be left with the awakening discovery
that you are prey to that to which you have prayed. There is
nothing wrong with higher powers but there is nothing right with
them either. In that grand unconscious identification, great
travails are maintained. All of that will go on as it has always
gone on. However, you have a choice for you.
One's own pain is so easily projected upon the world. It finally
does no one any good, but these are sacred cows indeed.
Do-goodism relies upon abject suffering. The good needs bad to
stay in business. You aren't bad and you don't have to do good
things to save your soul and such. If you want to give and help
and so forth, do so easily and simply without all the other holy
horseshit. The daily run-of-the-mill consumption of us first
worlders destroys more than charity can mend. But this remains
largely unconscious in us and continues to be the ruination of
the planet. It may sound cynical but the USA now has a military
presence in the largest Muslim nation in the world. America
doesn't cause tsunamis but it unconsciously will choose to take
advantage of such events in the name of good and God. More will
be revealed on all of that.
This collective chaos has its effects in the psyche. More of
these waves will be mounting as the year and years go on. We have
a New Moon in Capricorn on the 10th at 7:03 am EST. The heaviness
will lighten, to a degree, for many by the end of the week. Yet
the gravity remains. Embodiment, to be born, is to be buried
alive. In the last two weeks all this archetypal material has
been excavated. The modern world has never seen so many images in
real time of corpses bloated in rigor mortis. The desperate
dumping of bodies in mass graves, seen in real time, is a kind of
breakthrough in the collective psyche. Death and burial and all
are so baseline in the human culture, especially religion. In
death one faces one's birth. Until this is met consciously, great
death scenes will be played out in living high definition color
in hundreds of millions of homes and hearts on planet Earth. At
the end of the Piscean Age, everything EVERYTHING is coming to
consciousness in a theater near you.......... it's called the
mind. You can live without it. It can't live without you. This is
not a life and death choice. It's a choice.
Choose.
Unwindingly,
