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
