Bad Dreams > Pay Attention > DisAster in 3-D
Our nocturnal dreams project our anxieties, fears and detunements … expose emotional realities akin to the process of manifestation of our earthly circumstances .. and we notice, discuss, decode, pay attention or we don’t …
should we not heed … round we go again, with the ante stackin up until we have a day mare, bad star, disaster instead of a nightmare …. health crisis or cataclysm .. oily explosions … nature / our bodies don’t lie … the dark side is a juicy teacher .. with its own looking-glass language .. in the journey of the soul …
In the year 2010, disasters abound .. stress and social disorder .. its all connected … and some wildy unholy sh– … our exponentially expansive (personal) media network ( nervework) is responsive, though on tilt due to heavy commercialization / glamor/ clamor, and otherwise … twisted or oppressed by various powerful commercial interests and propagandists …
This world is movin much too fast we’re race babbling …. Stevie Wonder / Secret Life of Plants
extreme capitalism meltdown …corporations vs labor/ regular folk / public education … Wall Street vs everycommodity and everybody as a commodity …. wealth vs commonwealth …economy vs ecology, private vs public (education!) … oil / natural gas wars .. religious tribal wars, crusades vs jihads, church sex-scandal implosions .. Malawian bible-stoked homophobia .. Chinese group-sexophobia and infobia…. … bizarre attacks on children … drug-lord border wars, manifest-destiny-nationalists vs browner-redder mo’melanin humans …. tea party? people vs gente de color cafe … epic myth-steeped movies and epic earthy turmoils .. junk food and junk media … social? media which can drive teen suicides … post 9-11 collective trauma echoes of the T-word … villagers vs aristocracy … students vs police …insurance companies vs health … military industrial complex … prison industrial complex …. destroy and build for profit … . greedia, advertising-entertainment complex …
Bad dreams are good .. in the great plan …. Joni Mitchell / Shine
all quite convenient to industrial-political purposes … Monsanto vs Seeds … Bechtel vs Water … BP et al vs the Oceans (Yemaya) .. HAARP vs Shango …. Red vs Blue ( Nortenos /Surenos, Dems / Republicans) … … Aliens vs Predator … us vs them .. cars vs bikes … television vs hearth, polarize and blame , … mockery of hope or change … everyone on blast … “you’re the Hitler” … AHHHHHHHH !
Devil on the dance floor thirsty for a partner, stay off ‘m .. Mos Def + Talib Kweli + Hi Tech
Let’s rewind the mind .. mind the soul …
Classic, commonly agreed upon virtues have all been distorted, while the dark side is amped in a wicked masquerade … The Mahatma’s seven deadly sins …
- Wealth without Work ( Wall St - thievery corporations)
- Pleasure without Conscience ( grab and go, use-it-up-toss-it mind set, i god)
- Science without Humanity ( relentless resource grabs, gadgetricks )
- Knowledge without Character ( Egoism, socio-pathology, me me me )
- Politics without Principle ( Divisiveness, exclusion, you’re the Hitler, they gotta go)
- Commerce without Morality ( unbridled capitalism, enviro-degradation)
- Worship without Sacrifice ( Narrow zealotry, intolerance, violence)
In the face of so many disasters, self made, and so much trouble in the world … we really need to wake up .. to have brighter eyes … indeed, genuine sparking eyes technique …..
I want you to go the window and open it and yell “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore … Howard Beal
