The big question: What is this crazy planet?
This has been a ponder since I was very young. Even pre-school age, I hounded my parents with questions about why things were the way they were: Why war? (They were both refuges in WWII, and saw death and destruction—shouldn’t they know?) Why poverty? Homelessness? Slavery really baffled me. Pollution? (Early childhood was in a clothing mill town where streams turned different colors and killed fish).
As a child, I had apocalyptic nightmares where the world was on fire. I also had nightmares where I was paralyzed by an unseen presence, floated to the front door and “went somewhere” in a flash of light, only to scream my self awake…
On and on into my adult years, I wondered: Is this a “game” some cruel giant, off-planet creatures were playing with us as the pawns? Which eventually morphed into: Is any of this real?
And then, one day in the late 1980s, an inner voice calmly stated what I wrote in my journal: “It’s called Slave Consciousness, and it is not natural to this planet. It has been in force for a long time though. And you are here to break free of it.” Whew. A tall order indeed, yet… at least there was some kind of explanation! It was a strange comfort to know that none of this—except Nature—was “real.”
Living in the “Matrix”?
I’ve tried to watch The Matrix 4 times. I always fall asleep in the first ten minutes. I think my nervous system doesn’t want to watch what I know is an artistic representation of the truth. Today, on the last day of 2024, I’m determined to watch it all the way through…maybe. But everything people told me about it I use as analogies and metaphors to explain how we-who-are-unplugged from the Machine/Slave consciousness (SC) are now having to reorient outside of It.
Meanwhile..
Deep in my heart, I know Slave Consciousness has reached its peak influence and is breaking down: There is a sense that SC/The Machine has been abandoned by its original source, all while Nature is breaking through the crap and reasserting Herself—as She always has. The Awakening to who we actually are as Beings of Love is happening. But of course, do we think SC/The Machine will simply let go so we can live in peace? Nah. These are acts of desperation: akin to how parasites scramble to find a new host while they die en masse. Hence the chaos and unbridled destruction of our very essence as natural beings.
So.
I do my best to stay centered in the madness: Most of my community are not with me on this quest…so far. I have to be OK with that. I act kindly and say kind things. I provide information to the wounded and the curious. I offer solace to the grief stricken. I also find others who’ve already unplugged from SC/The Machine—that’s happening more and more.
Mostly, I am in Nature everyday. I wander the beautiful forest lands nearby. I wander my neighborhood and acknowledge nature in the sky, with the birds in my backyard, in nearby seas and rivers. For me, Nature is the only reality that makes sense.
Thank you Mother Earth.
And thank you for your kind witness. Keep going. Stay curious. Cry when you need to, and laugh when you can. Stay free.
And
Allow your Loving Self to prevail.
