On Our Breathing Globe

As I read about humans’ behaviors (which apparently haven’t changed much from millennia to millennia), I’m fascinated with us Earthlings who’ve allowed ourselves to get advertised, alphabetized, analyzed, annalized, annualized, anthologized, amortized, authorized, acclimatized, allergized, alchemized, anglicized, astrologized, androgenized, armorized, and that’s just some of the ‘A’s. Is there any wonder we wonder which way is up on our breathing globe?

Since World War II ended 61 years ago, Earthlings (U.S. residents in particular) have used Earth as a kind of storehouse. Dandy inventions and products have been manufactured while others of us have been anesthetized by worshipping the golden calf of layaway plans and revolving charge accounts finessed into today’s banking systems. Many of the resources necessary for productions of stuff we take for granted have come from Earth’s natural provisions.

Some dandy handiworks we mistakenly called ‘disposable products’ are showing up in ways that are distasteful. Areas in which trash has been buried, into holes dug deep and close enough to aquifers, have oozed toxins into water reserves over the years. When we investigate, we discover geological reports estimate 100,000 years for Earth to purify its aquifers; that is, if we invent ways of getting along with fewer brand named handies.

Our Earth and physical universe are not mechanical worlds unto themselves; they cannot help but be conscious collaborators with creations, i.e., Earthlings. That thought is opposite of how we’ve been trained.

It was a hundred years ago that Henry Ford took the Newtonian idea of a machine-like construction of the universe and made it manifest on Earth. … This mechanical model of separation has us gripped so totally that we don’t even know that we live in a kind of Matrix—straight out of the movie. For most of the last century the success of the Ford model of mechanical relationships worked. The model delivered a massive increase in overall well-being in a material way. We no longer experience this model as anything other than normal.

We’ve been distracted, oh so distracted from remembering our global village is an immense, creative, conscious organism. Whether later than sooner, human perception will have awakened to possibilities that Universe may be pressing itself into being acknowledged by its own creations. Now, that’s one heck of a compassionate cosmology—Universe is in love with its creations, and it plays ‘for keeps’, too! That model is growing in acceptance in some stunned scientists’ circles, and the idea is interpreted out of the elegance of mathematics.

The idea that Universe is pressing in upon Earthlings suggests the one model of dualism, good vs. evil, which has systemically oppressed humans for thousands of years.

If we feel Universe is caring and tolerant, then we are right, and feel interconnected with it and nature. If we feel Universe is detached and mechanical, then we are right as well as playing into the illusive theological and financial gambles keeping Earthlings separated in every which way possible.

As best as they are able, the gamblers maintaining antiquity’s sanctified monetary illusions multiplied their games of separations in the 17th century.

Now that global civilizations’ populations have ballooned closer and closer, experimental gambles set into motion in smaller, isolated Western European communities over 300 years ago no longer work. What a web of confusion that’s been woven by us Earthlings who’ve accomplished the best we can with enforced beliefs eventually turned fallacious.

Not to fear. Females are drawing near! As the pendulum swings, deployments of liberated feminine perspective will nurture balance for bereft Earthlings, negating the debilitating, disposable masculine memes and trainings by tossing residue where it belongs—into the safety of new garbage bins!

By the by in business as usual, in our comings and goings on our breathing globe, we fickle Earthlings still behave with our one magnificently vibrant characteristic: Gawking.

Our constant curiosity is key
to watching what’s being created.
