Genius and Sincerity - #29
Ecosutra, We bow to your genius and sincerity. Our motive for earlier challenging your perspective was to try pinpointing your preeminent intentions. Any offense our words might cause are unintended: the regularly conflicted & conflicting objectives that are endemic to this world sometimes require implementing non-politically correct communication strategies to better determine/understand each other's actual mindsets. Also, we very much keep ourselves continuously linked to the celestine force(s) which guide all living organisms to do what we must, but of which most humans yet have generally poor to no understanding. As we see it, Earth's human condition -- still --typically operates within very archaic to even wrong parameters concerning the nature of existence.
With the above in mind:
Sustainable living, i.e. permaculture, is universally sought by all truly intelligent minds, and particularly so while we're watching how the numericalized profit-motive driven economic model to which we've all become intimately linked and all too dependent is in its throes of irremediable collapse -- AFTER, however, having first been instrumental in motivating our species to bring about global-wide ecosystemic disruption & destruction and the/our inherently non-sustainable American Dream way-of-life. And at the same time, as you point out: permaculture -- as a perfectly logical and worthy organizing/guiding principle for optimal human living & lifestyle(s) -- is still not being taken up by any "main stream populous", nor are "people [yet] rising for anything that will create empowering community change" -- and still no physical messiah on the scene to save us either!
So what's to be done about this/our decidedly uneasy situation?
It is also our perspective that significant progressive change from where the human condition is today to where it would better be is in fact taking place, however just not yet in any fully/clearly discernible way. Whether we yet see all of what we want to coming into place as we'd like it to, everything that's going on right now is indeed part of a uniquely celestine-mundane process which is gradually bringing a relatively minimal, yet ever sufficient while ever-growing, number of humans into requisite expanded & elevated understanding of the nature of existence. In other words, everything is going along like it's supposed to; the only seeming "problem" is our species', and thus our own, lingering ignorance of how it all works. But we're gradually getting there, step by step, day by day, word by word, here & now, everywhere.
So, as we ultimately see it for the time being:
Patience, open minds, love of life, and ongoing communications thereof are key.
And then comes Bernanke's paean to Bernanke's own finest moment: "It's just an illusion," as he pulled the bills from his pocket. "Just look at it: Meaningless pieces of paper with numbers printed on them. Worthless." And soon thereafter came Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) shouting out, "Oh my God, he's right. It's all a mirage. All of it—the money, our whole economy—it's all a lie!"
Now what'll be nice to see come out of the MSM's finally awakened mouth is the truth about "precious metals" as well; etc etc etc.
Just for the record: Jim Rogers denies ever making the claim that the Pound's collapse is imminent, and the link to the alleged press release has gone away... :
