Introduction to reality.

Reality would like to introduce itself to you.

I'm afraid the next phase in this adventure will be around June 20 when many will be stricken down by the virus.

When the next wave of the pandemic hits we will be completely dependent on social media and we have to seriously attempt to communicate with each other. This is an emergency and our information needs to be true and our messages clear. 

We will depend on social media and the few essential workers -- who we need to take care of and more than compensate.

We burn trillions of dollars to the war god and we have the worst healthcare system in the world.

We give our treasures to the defense contractors and we militarize the police, but we cannot mobilize to provide healthcare workers with the equipment they need.

The American healthcare industry cannot take care of everybody because it is an industry with the aim of increasing profits. Healthcare should be better funded than warfare. Healthcare should be universal.

Everyone should have enough to take care of themselves and the time to more freely create themselves. That should be what a functioning economy should provide — the means to survive and the means to grow. To have more free time at home or traveling or migrating — to be treated with compassion, to have compassion be the reasonable and expected response, when one is suffering.

To agree on what is a threat and what is not a threat. To come to a consensus about what is real and what is not. To not point our guns at people. To not shoot first and ask questions later.  Cops and citizens cannot be so trigger happy, so quick to hurt somebody. And we can’t be so quick to hurt ourselves.

Nonviolence doesn’t mean you don’t defend yourself. It means you don’t set out with the intention to hurt somebody. It means you are not a ticking time bomb because you recognize you have anger issues. Nonviolence means not being set to panic or attack. Nonviolence means to have the courage of your moral autonomy. Nonviolence means to not be trigger happy but to have a good aim.

We all saw what the policeman did to George Floyd and we all agree it was wrong. It is good we can agree about that. We cannot heal this nation with a police state. Can we agree that there is no military solution? Insurgencies go on forever until the empire gives up and goes home. 

We are the Empire. We are the United States and we were designed to adapt, and to become more just, but “in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds.” Like it or not, we inherited an empire and it is up to us to make it the empire of Caesar or the empire of heaven. It is time to be transformed. It is the moment of metanoia. We are storming the gates of heaven.

The world is being reset. This is an apocalypse, a sudden catastrophic awakening to the necessity to wake up and stay awake and see what needs to be done and keep everybody calm. What would Jesus do? He said Love one another. What would bodhisattva do? They become awakened when we awaken, they come alive when we come alive.

Hosanna

We ask that everyone calmly go to the exits and leave the building. There is a fire in the building and we need to evacuate. We will be alright. Do not panic. Do not be afraid. The building is on fire and we need to leave.
