Okay this is a highly problematic thing, because let's just be a little conscious that some people want to be more involved with humans and general human 'society' than they are right now, rather than slip away out of it as such.
The real problem is something I have been grappling with for months now, as I think about what will become of someone who, let's put it in these terms 'hits the Set-For-Life lottery.'
I am watching right now, a program on local television about several people who had fairly sizable amounts of money in their self-managed superannuation accounts, who had been defrauded of the lot - so, in one man's case, that was 200,000 dollars in one go.
People just don't get it - and they never will. This is not a 'yoga' thing. But they have turned it into that. Stupid stupid human beings. You can't stop them. |
Now for me this expresses part of the problem. As someone literally from the investment banking area (or more specifically for me, the merchant banking world), and who was also for a while in a special projects team in a central bank, modestly meaningful sums of money like that in the hands of your average person today is an accident waiting to happen.
So let's just shift away from specifics about money though, and use some highly mythic language and metaphors, in order to re-state the basic problem.
You have seen, I'm sure you have seen, those Sumerian monument etchings that depict some weird bird-headed being with what looks like a pine cone in their hand, standing above the Tree of Life image.
Now all of these modern 'New Age-y' and public commentators of ancient mysteries want to tell you this is about the pineal gland and so on.
No it's not.
It's about planting seeds.
Our life is an existential reality.
Our 'present' moment is a hard, sensed, tangible reality - it exists, we know it exists, because we feel it in the moment now.
Our past was an existential reality but it too, can turn into a mixture of hard truth and fabricated 'reality of ideas' because people can believe false things their minds invented about the past, and yet, that impression then becomes 'true' to their immediately conscious, existential 'now' selves. So the past is misty and not hard reality.
The future is not a hard reality at all.
We cannot plant seeds in the past.
We can only plant a seed right now.
You might think your future is not great, based on what your present situation is right now.
And that is not the way things really are.
'Tomorrow' something bad or not great is due to happen - let's say...
Tonight, you are free to do things for which there will be no consequences that can fall upon you because your ship is leaving for distant lands tomorrow, where you will be going to the front lines with your platoon.
And so you do things in the moment with abandon.
Suddenly, in the early hours of the morning however, you come upon a large treasure that is yours to keep and to dispose of as you will.
Tiffany design, silk velvet modern Venetian scarf. Okay so you have one, and you're wearing it to your late night cafe place. No one notices and they wouldn't understand what they are looking at anyway. |
You no longer really need to go off with your battalion (initially you had to do that because you are only the third son and your earldom does not extend to sufficient money to provide even for a subsistence back at 'home') - because you now are independently wealthy. And so feasibly, you can just go AWOL completely now.
It is not immediately clear which particular 'seed' you planted that grew into a different fate for your life.
But regardless of that - and we will explore it later on here sometime - a huge problem with you or anyone having a staggeringly powerful means of living in significantly more materially well-supplied circumstances, is that you will be in some coffee place or restaurant or anywhere, and around you will be the people who lose masses of money to fraud or who truncate their lives through poor lifestyles, or make themselves miserable through heavily pressured workloads and all of that attendant problematic symptom which is the nature of today's world and the so-called 'lifestyles' of all the people in it.
You cannot change them, though.
You can offer to them all you want about advanced technology, be it with laser systems or quantum electrodynamics or any other thing, but they are not interested in part because they don't see the point anyway but more importantly they do not 'have the time' to look at things; certainly not anything you're going to be talking about.
All they know is what the CDC just screamed at them the last time they did that, which more or less would have been ten seconds ago in their lives via an SMS to their 'smart phones' - maybe about... ...that Metformin 'aids' the diabetes condition (it doesn't), or that they are 'iron deficient' (well they probably are but not for any reasons any modern doctors tell them; modern doctors' reason will be: 'your time is up there is ten minutes left on your consult/pay your bill on your way out).
You might be able to 'take yourself out alive.' You won't be able to take any, or not very many others out of here now.
I love the tabletop here. Don't you just love the tabletop? Man I love that tabletop. |
It's all too late and gone way past the point of any kind of widespread retrieval.
That's what I think. And I've tried to think of it more positively - and cannot.
Nah it's actually not what I think. It's what I know.
'I would a solution now I want a solution now I want a solution now. Don't tell me things take time and don't tell me to do anything. Doctors have drugs and pills and injectables.'
Me: 'Yeah, you're the person who just lost 200,000 dollars though right? Because you are smart and everything you make judgments about is right.'
LOL
Bill and I we say we've lost stax of cash every now and then too, but we really haven't. We made some money first and we acquired some knowledge then next and we never lost any money for real. What happened was we witnessed some atrocious things, some egregious criminal acts by governments and operatives and other associated people.
I'll let you know if or when we ever lose any money.
And I'm trying not to be arrogant!
This is off Angel Falls' YT channel. Her real name is Agnieszka Wasilewska. We'll play one of her vocal songs soon here. Her trance music stage name is 'Angel Falls.'
A trance is something that is hard to get out from alive, right?
ReplyDeleteGenghis Khan was a leader of Mongol-Tatars
ReplyDeleteIn the XII century, East of river Istar
He was a vicious and a cruel lord
Under his rule was raised the Mongolian Horde
Many children he sired, geneticists recently told
When he died, to his grave he took all of his gold
Horses in thousands levelled his grave to the plain
No burial stone or marker could possibly still remain
In Gobi desert only winds that place caress
It is never raining there & snowing even less
I lived in Mongolia and was even almost killed
While I was in a coma the secret place was revealed
Temüjin played a host and he told me his dying wish
After hundreds years of thinking, it became his fetish
To return his riches to people who needs the most
Were the words I heard from the scary bodiless ghost
These events took place almost fifty years ago
It is time to pay back for the life to the guy,
that I owe
Must talk about this - up next!
