How former Illusions have Become the New Realities.

Life on Earth is circular! The SUN comes up (if UR lucky) and over 8 - 12 hours light, it goes down! 99.999% of our plants & species do not question it. But we head-possesed humans whirl non-stop by creating new ways of expressing ourselves. Our old style, hands-on, 3 dimensional practicalities, with the now incesssant and determined High-Tech Online behaviour is a confluence of marrying the former shovel to the now reigning Internet Hub. When our 2 boys were young, inquisitive, and ask questions, their mother would generally answer: "That's just the way it is!" Most of life is inexplicable. The very concept of 'Reason' has become an enigma. Basics suggest a species procreate by prolonging itself. If it works, it lives another day; if it does not, it will fall by the wayside and disappear. Nothing appears to be a big deal. Remember the historic 17 million years of the dinosaurs? Who can even get their head around that one?.... Somehow, this creature that is us may very well become an early hybrid off-shoot line that proved itself unworthy to continue to participate in the greater scheme of earthly unfoldings. YIP, we are no grass, or chicadee, or even Dinosaur! We have become a pain in the neck of Mother Gaia, and she has begun to put her foot down on our excessive tresspasses! Still! ..... whilst there's life, there's the glimmer of hope in being! Once reduced in numbers and possibly finding re-invented routes of adjustment, in smaller adjusted numbers, we may still continue to exist, and express ourselves. I'll DRINK to that! (PS: I notice a newly introduced format?!/ No questioning the Author/ A mere implementation!/ ....all a part of the tech-folk being in charge! ) We are more and more controlled by left-brainers. .... Mankind is rapidly on its way to deleting FEELINGS. Soon, clones will run our lives. Parenthood will be a thing of the past..... We are very close as we speak.... Thank Mother Gia GOD I'm 81 and phasing......

REALMS of Identity !

Regardless background, pressures are to commit & adhere to one's local status quo! 

As such we are forced to exist within the realm of 'environmental reality restrictions'. 

To express yourself as an individual beyond these acceptable behaviours, takes extra effort. 

The attempts of doing so (at an early age with some) - these 'groping efforts' of being 'different' - may initially be stifling  ..... But over time, as one continues to attempt to 'fit in' - with concerted efforts of trying to become 'acceptable'  - these individual 'ways of being ' may ultimately 'Kick In.' 

"OH, it's 'her/ his' way of being!"  .... [i.e.  whatever!  Still, you have arrived!]  

When NOT part of the status quo, it will always be a challenging factor to live outside whatever the 'NORM"you live within is defined as.  

To me, life is a constantly unfolding personal reality! Those of us challenging the norm ought to have our allowances to reinterpret it, with the hope and goal to have our differing views ultimately ACCEPTED!   

So? If your home environment is not conducive to your differing views, it may necessitate having to take a journey elsewhere to have your broader views accepted, and feel more grounded as an individual.     

CONNECTING WITH YOUR FELLOW SPECIES...

VIEWS@ 206090

WHAT is it?  WHY is it? ... That moves me emotionally, when a fellow human, regardless sex, colour, age, or background, manages to express themselves, oftentimes hesitantly....yet drives me to tears!  

It is their doubts, questioning of 'self,' yet ultimate glorifying touching performance, that becomes the surprise package that verifies and identifies the beauty of their presentation. 

'IDENTITY' of SELF is at issue here! 

Many of us don't even KNOW succinctly WHO they are!  (?).... 'Am I allowed to do this or the other? ' some may ask? 

Then, those who don't ever ASK, or WAIT for an answer, merely DO their THING, and await the responses! ....

AND, if the responses are Questionable, than 'others' kick in to potentially suggest ways to deal with whatever is at issue?! 

INDIVIDUALITY = a TRIP! .... It takes guts, to nay-say whatever general views are thrown at you!   

I say YEAH, and Kudos, to those who DARE to express themselves as individuals outside the accepted NORM! 

Are you one?  

If motivated, let me know,

'HELLO' to all who read my intermittent musings!

WHAT does it all mean? .....

- Each of us in our myriad ways - some with more complicated lives than others - ultimately need

to decide: WHO we are, and WHAT we are doing in the various circumstances we find ourselves in!   

LIFE is a trip, a voyage, interpreted in our individual conscious awareness. 

YOU, within your Body & your Mind's experience are a 'REALITY,' both tactile and assumed! ..... 

Regardless any addendum of spouse, off-spring, family, or friends, there is solely - YOU! 

On the whole, LIFE tends to be 'easier,' when certain constant demands are set upon you! i.e., you can not over-indulge, because people or critters DEMAND your attention! If you FAIL to attend to them, they will suffer, or perish and you will feel responsible! 

However, when you grow beyond that stage, and those dependants are on their own, or you never had those 'responsibilities,'  the 'raison d'être' for life becomes more self-absorbing.  

If it has primarily been the you- 'ME,' self-concerned, it can potentially have additional negative effects, since by never sharing, or needing to care for immediate others then yourself, the very concept of LIFE may show to have a lesser depth in VALUE; ' because of that lack of immediate need for a consideration for 'others.'  

Though this in noway should make you feel lesser or 'guilty,' it does nevertheless put a demand on you for needing to find that additional reason for 'wanting' to continue to exist.

Elderly, like myself now, when down and negative, I get an enhanced kick to reality and positivity, when contacted by either off-spring or grand-children! It helps to somehow reinvigorate the loneliness, and pointlessness of remaining alive in these very challenging days!   

Let this COVID-nundrum not get you down! Try to find a positive attitude to overcome what is in essence a seasonal generational glitch, telling MANKIND to become more conscious, less greedy, and live more within Nature's Equilibrium.     

 

  

We DO what we DO!

 VIEWS > who cares? 

We are alive!  .... those of us who are motivated to connect and press on, in order to somehow enhance our total being... march on! 

The 'MEANING' of life will continue to be an un-answered reality, since as a species, though presumptuous, we keep questioning and discovering more avenues to enhance our existences. 

Ultimately, as I sense it? Life is a single TRIP!.... 

Whether a kernel of sand, a blade of grass, or a seemingly more complicated entity like a mammal, we are ultimately all alone in the experience of configuring ourselves! 

While worlds apart in character, a close friend of mine just send me the following URL: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egq82bZw7cM&feature=youtu.be

It says it all! 

As an elder entrepreneur (81 now) ... I realize, that in our different ways of expressing our entities, we all need to absorb the consequences of our outcomes. 

NO-ONE is to blame!  We do what we do, whilst we ARE WHO WE ARE!

SO? In my multiple failures to achieve the realities of a number of innovative projects (most of which whose TIME and connectivities did not gel) as a fiercely DETERMINED 'Mammal' I continue to find the energy to carry on > during my continuous serious challenges!

All the while, I remind myself of the immense luxury of being a FREE man, living in a mostly FREE world, retired in a space most others would envy. 

So? My sojourn to leave something innovative and useful behind - as a residue of my existence - would,  essentially be a bonus of fortuity?

Until ... my next impulse... 

 

 

   

 

A new DARK AGE is upon us!

Dark Ages:"The "Dark Ages" is a historical periodization, traditionally referring to the Middle Ages (c. 5th–15th century) that asserts that a demographic, cultural, and economic deterioration occurred in Western Europe following the decline of the Roman Empire.

=======================================================================

Well folks - of all lineages, cultures and colours - our collective MOTHER GAIA (i.e. the superior force that has allowed an equilibrium of life to exist and expand in its defined harmony for millennia, is  finally putting her foot down on our species' run-away uncontrollable excesses! 

Not a Volcano's ashes, a stray asteroid, or an in-explicable ice-age, this TIME a hybrid creature called Homo Sapiens has seen fit, within its short-sighted superior sensed greed, to selfishly ignore this earth's realities by challenging and going beyond the required equilibrium of Nature.  

WHOOPStiDO! .... Alarm bells are ringing, our blind run-a-way train has reached its breaking point!

Likely it will get worse and many more will perish! BUT, the TIME for re-assesment is upon us! 

Globalism has come full circle! The EAST has economically caught up, and as such there is a fairer all round balance.  With focus on greater individual responsibility and localized self-sufficiency, a potential New Age may gradually unfold. 

What can you and I do to accommodate that, and allow our off-spring a chance for survival? 

Is another 'BRAVE NEW WORLD'  (Aldous Huxley)  ......Possible? 

It's UP TO US! ....

Let's drink to that?

So WHAT's in your head? WHY is it there? And HOW are you dealing with it?

Do you like yourself? Are you mostly happy with your development? Would you be your friend? Do you feel the need to share? Or are you mostly looking to take advantage, always looking for an opportunity to draw more in, because down the road, you never know WHAT can happen?

All is an accumulation of you expressing yourself over Time (i.e. age), and space (i.e. place). YOU developing - unfolding - in your environment, in your character development, being by acting upon every situation as you see fit, in your way.

Even though we do our best to find a common ground, our varieties are endless.
The 'doing our best' is based on our social breed of species. As a herd animal, we try to integrate and 'get along.' i.e. We 'need each other to survive!'

So I 'booted' up my Mac this morning, and the following email arrived in my Inbox!
