Worlds in Collision

There has been a gap between posts here, and for good reason. I had nothing to say as I watched the drama unfold before our eyes. Between the cliffhanger of a presidential election (I jest), the natural wonders of our weather here on Earth, the human response to fear around oil supply and distribution, and the falling of the sky on Wall Street, I simply could not sit down long enough to write. But, I have been having many conversations with people everywhere. It seems, according to popular opinion, that our world has finally changed. Changed? How? You might ask. The obvious changes are hard to miss. The thieves have been in the temple all along. In fact, we gave them the key even though we knew they were thieves. They have left the building and taken the silverware, too. Left quite a mess to be cleaned up, as well. And you know what? They've even offered to come back and clean up their mess, and, it appears, sheeple are ready and willing to let them do it. Doesn't this time and day just simply amaze you? We are actually witnessing the fall of western civilization. How could this be so? Well, when a civilization rests its laurels upon cotton and digitized illusions, it's not impossible for that cotton to burn or for those illusions to disappear once an awakening begins to occur. Awakening? Well, not of an enlightened type do we see in this awakening, more of an abrupt end to sleep. This is not, in my opinion, the stuff of prophecy, this is more like people taking entitlements to other's property simply because those who own the property did not pay attention to the signs in front of their faces that there was a need for them to do something different than to trust those not trustworthy. Now, we stand holding empty bags where once there was, at least, a hope that we had something of value inside the bags. Not any more!

Well, it's not like we weren't warned. There have been many voices speaking to the inevitability of the fall. We live in a circular universe. Cycles repeat themselves. People repeat themselves, and the mistakes people make seem to recur, over and over and over. Folks, look through your history books, not the ones written for you, but the ones you've written and the people you trust have written. Listen to the speeches of those so-called "dissidents" who speak out against the lies of those we have allowed to be in power. We have the right to revolution. It is written in our code, it lays in wait to be activated through our DNA, and our children are expecting us to do something other than consume their lives away. For the people, it cannot be "business as usual". Now is the time for us to take this mess seriously. We need a new way of life. What are we going to do?
