SURVIVING THE CRAZINESS

Well the snow is mostly gone a few patches here and there. It would be nice to get past Thanksgiving before we get more snow. We will greet whatever happens.

I don't know what to write about. What is there to say about the collapsing world. Nothing is believable. Neither political party represents the people. I have been a Democrat all my life [the radical wing]. I have watched it get more and more a party of the wealthy and power hungry. Now there is only window dressing [identity politics] between the two parties. They both do the bidding of the empire. Nobody, of any stature, in either party speaks out about the slaughter in Yemen, the secret wars in Africa, the oil wars all over the world, the use of drone warfare on civilian populations; maybe they feel helpless to do something, but they still should be shouting from the roof tops. Are they afraid they will lose campaign funding?

And what is happening to science? Especially in medicine! What is going on with the lowering of the high blood pressure guidelines? On the national news!? Reported without any real background? Looks like the science[?] and the media are kissing the ass of the drug companies. There won't be one life saved but the sale of statins will go up. I know I shouldn't be looking at the idiot box.

I could give endless examples of how corrupt our world has become. I know. I know. I have to stop looking at it. I have to take my own advice and focus on the love that I see growing everywhere. Actually, I can generally look at the news and see it only as an amusement, as if I was seeing a film about a dying empire that happened a thousand years ago. However, it is dangerous to be smug as little fears and thoughts get planted in our minds whether we like it or not.

The forces of divisiveness have really cranked up lately and this is coming from all sides of the political spectrum. Decisiveness has only one purpose, to keep those in power who already have it.

The good news is that the very cranking up of divisive tactics is an indication that the forces of power and money are losing. They are desperate. They need conflict and war to keep them in power. They can't maintain their positions without our energy. We have to quit paying attention to their craziness.

As we have discussed many time before, we must start with ourselves. We must end our own internal conflicts. Find our peace and extend it. We are the creators. We will have the world we want.

It is so simple. We need only to love ourselves and each other. I know it seems hard sometimes. Look for the progress. It is there in us and around us.

Love and Peace, Gregg
