The crucial discernment

In rock, in hippie culture past or revived-present, in "New Age" pursuits, is it pre-personal (contacting and re-integrating the pathological European dissociation [not healthy differentiation]) is part of the healing and transformation - then a synergy of recontacted somatic energy and higher mind transforms to the centaur/psychic holon.. If you contact the pre-personal and stay there, you have regressed. Is the consciousness trans-personal, trans-egoic, trans-rational. If pre-, then the rational, personal, individuated, healthy egoic is "higher."

Time for planetary leadership


Is there anybody at an Integral second tier level who wants to try to lead the effort to salvage the planet including humans?

Look at our beautiful planet. Time for planetary concerns to take top priority.

We're running out of time, fast. Please watch this excellent and alarming NOW special - "On Thin Ice" originally broadcast a few weeks ago.

And now for some comic relief

The heavy seriousness (and deservedly so - plus I hope the Kosmic giggle as the ground of being and transcendent LOVE/lumination) - of topics here compels me to lighten up: Enjoy this scene from the black comedy classic, "The Loved One" (1965) (Tony Richardson) -

The Amoral Insiders

People like Chris Matthews who, according to his show today, think torture should be illegal but "on the table" for "ticking time bomb" emergencies and such are amoral people who don't understand Spirit and its evolution through (and as) us. They're afraid of death, and they don't realize that living on a higher ethical, humane, and loving level is a value added to help the Planet much greater than condoning cruel sadism which should be and is abhorred by advanced civilization.

SIGN A PETITION TO ABOLISH THE FED

SIGN A PETITION TO ABOLISH THE FED.

From the article "REVIVE LINCOLN'S MONETARY POLICY: AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA" by Ellen Brown

"Today we the people are starting to understand our banking and monetary system, and we are shocked, dismayed, and furious at what we are discovering. The wizard behind the curtain turns out to be a small group of men pulling levers and dials, creating an illusory money scheme that, behind all the talk and bravado, is mere smoke and mirrors. These levers are controlled by a privately-owned, unaccountable central bank called the Federal Reserve, which has recently dispensed billions if not trillions in funds to its banker cronies, without revealing where these monies are going even under Congressional inquiry or in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. As Chris Powell pointed out recently in conjunction with an FOIA request brought by Bloomberg News, which the Fed declined to comply with:

'Any government that can disburse $2 trillion secretly, without any accountability, is not a democratic government. It is government of, by, and, for the bankers."”

Fairly shocking news

CNN reports that Global Warming is last on a list of 20 concerns voters have, according to some poll. That's shocking. It should be no. 1.

I was reminded of how serious the problem has become and how much faster it is proceeding/accelerating by this MSNBC special - FUTURE EARTH - check it out!

A brief history of the last 44 years

"Keeping up with the Joneses" has been around for most of the modern era in America, meaning since the 20s; it got a big shot in the arm in the 50s (and was also criticized in the press, in fiction, and in plays and movies then).

The counterculture (hippie, yippie, New Left) of the 60s was in part a rebellion against just that shallow status-seeking materialistic culture. It failed to thrive because of many internal contradictions and fallacies, and also because of conscious sabotage and fighting against it by the reactionaries (read "conservatives" [Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, et al]) who were appalled at change, growth, and evolution. Not only did they want to roll back the clock from the 60s and 70s, they wanted to roll it back to pre-FDR and probably back to pre-Teddy Roosevelt.

So here we are again having been in that meme basically since the 80s and it's all come crashing down, except for the insiders who have gotten filthy rich on it before it crashed.
