The Bilderberg
conference is discussing our existence this week. In light of new
scientific evidence that when the proverbial tree falls in the forest
it does not fall at all unless someone hears it, the big bang did not
occur because there was no one to hear it. The flip side to this
amazing new evidence is that our minds actually create the universe
we live in, a rather subjective thing it is, and our wildest
fantasies about it's construct are actually the parameters of it's
construct. Of course the Bilderbergers are doing their utmost to
ensure the ideals of the trickle down economy will be embedded
forever in our imaginary DNA till our imaginary hell freezes over.
That police force one
helicopter flying over Winnipeg every night makes me cringe. The
police knock at my door and give me a hard time when they're looking
for someone else. Yes, I live in Winnipeg's west end. I have to beg
the caretakers of our Deathrock Apartments to turn on the heat when
we have a cold spell in spring or fall and I have to be very
diplomatic because they can make life miserable if you give them any
friction. I'm on CPP pension and by the time I pay for my wife's
nursing home I don't have much choice about where to live. Walmart
type places is where I shop when the dumpsters are bare even though I
despise their practises. We increasingly live in a society where
pressure motivated by ideology is used to force us to fall in line so
the slightly advantaged can strut their stuff.
This ideology somehow
sidesteps the fact that we have the resources and people power on
this earth to create a sustainable infrastructure and to feed and
house everyone. It's just that this thing we call money, that
undefinable entity by which the market places a value on everything,
gets in the way. We can no longer blame aristocracy because it's
these utopian, anticommunist credos which are saving the world.
Meanwhile they are desecrating our mother earth. And aristocracy now
claims it's the poor victim of the market place forcing upon them all
this wealth and they're doing us a good turn by keeping the pyramid
rising.
Our governments are
held hostage by a banking system which claims to channel currencies
for the good of humanity. The rules are established for the survival
of big corporations. For the whole system not to default we must
have growth, and this growth means people must purchase commodities
which are not essential to their survival or happiness. This growth
is not sustainable when it uses up earth's resources, we cannot eat
our cake and have it too. A model for sustainability will be either
forced upon us, or we can opt to develop it before dire consequences
force it upon us or extinguish us all.
Some call it the
degrowth movement. It is questionable whether our capitalist or
socialist systems or stews thereof can bring about this change. It
would seem to need an almost spiritual fervour in which the
corporations and other criminals would lay down their swords and
police force one would not need to roam the skies. Material things
would become valued things to use with humility, to share and take
care of. It is our elected officials who have the most power to
investigate these pursuits, and to forge different models. Not one
of us seven billion has all the answers, but we can try.
Our dreams about this
world can become a reality. It does take time. Not all will be
convinced today, some still believe the earth is flat. Our minds
actually do create the world we live in, our state of sanity. Human
consciousness is a force to be reckoned with. In all it's disparity
it carries us along like the the mighty galactic winds, blowing us to
galaxies far beyond our present dreams. We can make our present
habitat, our wee solar system, a remarkable place in the star dust of
the gods.
