MORE ON CRUMBLING

It was cold out when I got up, just as the Sun was about to break the horizon, my thermometer read 10.7 degrees below zero F. Actually I am not sure of the tenths, .7 is what I remember. It is now a balmy 4 below.

We have a geo-thermo heat pump, and when it gets much below zero, I help it out, by firing up one of our two wood stoves. The heat pump will function pretty well down to -20. During the last cold spell it was -17, one Morning, and I didn't light a fire. But it works awfully hard and a fire in the stove is such a nice cozy thing anyway.

So this Morning I fired up the stove in the living room and then I had to get wood from the wood pile. I loaded up a toboggan load. I forgot how hard a weighted down toboggan pulls over new dry snow. Oofdah..... [I have to express my ¼ Norwegian blood- that expression may be Swedish- but hey, its Minnesotan too] It was cool, with the breeze it felt like -20 or colder; on the other hand, it was bright and Sunny and the chores were pleasant.

So now I am sitting here, and remembering, I would comment on some aspects of the coming financial collapse. I should never do that. What I am comfortable with one day, I may find not so comfortable with later. I am a terrible prophet; something our Tuesday Morning visitor reminds me of; I occasionally come out with something I think is going to happen, and he remembers to remind me, when it doesn't seem to be occurring.

I believe I said I would comment on the positive aspects of the collapse. That seems fairly easy to do. We could talk about the end of debt slavery, the indentured servitude, 90+ percentage of humans are born in to. But how can we get a full picture of the tyranny of our version of capitalism? Add up all the money we spend on insurance [car, fire, medical, liability] add to that all the taxes we pay. Well one could say, “Well we have to pay our share. We have to be responsible.” Yes, of course, but is it responsible to pay for the empires war machine that is killing people on the other side of the Earth? Is it responsible to hand over our money to corporations, in the form of subsidies, that then pay no taxes themselves? We are supporting a corporatacracy that is picking our bones for the wealth of a very few. Do we want to continue this way?

We could look at it in an other way. As free beings on this Earth, how do we want to live? Do we want a capitalistic system that regulates what we can and can't do? What happened to the village, where somebody made clothes, another made, shoes, another baked wonderful bread, another had a marvelous herb garden, somebody else had wonderful hens that provided eggs for the community? How was that taken away from us? It wasn't that long ago. We know that we can provide everything we need for a happy and productive life. We all have something to give the rest. We are so marvelously rich, in talent and energy, that we could easily provide for ourselves and others. That has never been the problem. We always produce in over abundance. Look at history. Empires raised huge armies on what we would consider primitive agriculture [I am not convinced it was primitive- but that is a subject for a different discussion]. The point is, all through history a huge percentage of the population were essentially leeches, producing nothing for the rest.

Our capitalistic super structure needs to collapse, in order for us to realize how much we have been slaves to money and consumption. We are constantly fed the idea that we need more and more to be happy. Happiness has become money and money has enslaved us. All the while, corporations [with the help of government] rape and pillage the third world, so the Western world can maintain this craziness. The last piece of nuttiness has been the attempt of the cabal to control the energy resources of the world, and therefore, control the worlds people. Millions of people in the Middle East have been killed or displaced for what[?]; the power and greed of a very few. We do not wish to support this horror any longer.

Imagine, village life, all over the world. Imagine what the world would look like, if all that wasn't love, would drop away. The great awakening is happening! It is not difficult to see what a wonderful world we have. What if we just spent our time, helping each other, and enriching each others lives? What else have we got to do? What better thing is there, than using our gifts, to help each other?

As I say, I am a lousy prophet, but many others, besides myself, see the end of the current financial system beginning this year. Will it be in steps? Will it be sudden and complete? I don't know. What I do believe, is that our consciousness will no longer support the system of the cabal. As I have said before, they only have the power we give them.

Let us dream of the world we want. We do create the world we want. We will create a world from our most loving decisions. It is ours to do.

Friday. I will discuss how we can best get through the transition phase. I do think we need some kind of healing/learning centers. And I think, we could all get some practice, getting our hands in the dirt and watch and care for growing things. We will see what comes to me on Friday.

Love and Peace, Gregg
