Procreation & Responsibility (article) by Tom Kitt on AuthorsDen

Marriage splits one in half, children further. But, only so if we don't know who we are. It is our duty and responsibility to learn who we are before we bring children into the world. As the pretty flowers get snapped up To realize the vaunted prize; Happiness won and in a box To be spread as happiness should. There is no loss in this happiness won Only life to run its course Only life to be undone! Another death to be re-run. The purpose of life is to learn who we are so that we may be directed to become it. Wisdom is the knowledge that one is all. Consequently, more is less! We should not be acting like animals unless we recognize and accept the activity as 'due process’. The purpose of plant and animal life is to teach. Our purpose is to learn. We are absolutely complete but we insist on denial. This denial causes the movement that is life. The shedding of denial allows us to enter our own awareness. This shedding is a journey that requires practicality and the most practical and basic requirement for involving ourselves with who we are begins with the rationalization of procreation. The main reason why we are now approaching enforced reductions in population is because of our repeated inability to rationalize procreation. The world is formed as a reaction to loss – a divine response that comes from us. We are here to learn who we are so that we may return to it. Over-breeding has brought the planet to its knees in its attempt to maintain itself as a viable teaching platform. The point of no return has passed and the objective now is damage control. The culling has begun, destructive elements are poised and as the posturing transfers to confrontations, these in turn, will initiate a domino effect of fear that will run rampant causing more and more borderline interests to react. This momentum will gather speed until it exhausts itself finally to a planet that will once again be returned to useful purpose. The plants and animals are our teachers. In the natural world, death is the unquestioned common denominator with complete authority to perform its balancing function. The natural world is a state of efflorescence without compromise. The essential difference between humanity and natural life is that they pay as they go whereas we pay only on the way out. It is not hard to figure out who is smarter in this equation? We need to re-evaluate everything we ‘think’ about and align it with a balancing equation that honors the ongoing reciprocation necessary to maintain a balance that will harmonize with nature as a priority that offers no compromise under any condition. Obviously, we are not going to ritually kill our children or offer ourselves on the Altar to be sacrificed as many ancient traditions have done. We must achieve this balance by first rationalizing procreation as the domain of plant and animal life alone. They are our teachers and we must learn to observe them closely to realize that the very reason they procreate constantly is because death is not their master. It is non-thinking (or more specifically - reduced thinking) that allows them the wisdom to know that death and life are the same. Each teacher by honoring the prerogative of death is describing to us ‘death’s’ perfect advantage in terms of the universal truth: all is one or each one is all. Each teacher meets its divine prerogative without a thought. They constantly repeat this activity so that we may take notice. They show us the beauty and promise of death by their relentless proliferation. They suggest a connection between their willingness to die and their constant efflorescence – a butterfly does not know death because it does not see itself as separate from its mates. They are the archetypes of Love showing us that life as we know it is separation and that acceptance of unity is a portal to our own perfection. The journeyer coming back to Love through ‘thinking’ must accept that humanity’s archetypal commitment requires the power of complete intuition. Any level less than this can only meet the teaching archetype designed for it. We are not plants or animals and can not respond to any archetype other than our own. Consequently, any level of instinct measures to a false promise that is bound to leave us confused and insecure. Under such conditions we invariably react by controlling that which we do not understand and in our ignorance we claim the teachers as our own, forcing them to bend to our will, to respond, to think! We bully them to a submission they have no awareness off and as a consequence we end up, over and over again, being thrown out of paradise to pay for our mistake on the way out. Each seed must grow its own flower and there is only one flower for all. God is one: one is all. Each and every one, without limitation, is complete. We must journey back from our deception by using ‘thinking’ as our means of return instead of allowing it to continue to use us (Learn about the greatest deception since time began, read Eternal Recurrence …A Step out of Time). As we move out of our subjective entrapments we join with others in a constant merge to a common event. On it goes until all the paths have finally merged beyond the limitation of energy to become one: the archetype realized. By separating out and identifying the distinctly different creative purposes of instinct and intuition we recognize the teachers and accept their message. As a consequence of this awareness we change our direction from evolution to involvement. The instinctual drive to procreate thereby becomes overwhelmed by the rational understanding of the higher objective. A point is reached in this ongoing involvement when ecological balance is restored. But, if we remain conscious and focused on our archetype we will not remain at this level, we will continue to harvest and observe as the teachers reduce in due proportion to our assertiveness. Soon, we become the teachers and the universe itself begins to dissolve until finally all is gathered up into the completeness of one. The harvest complete. To realize our archetype we must ‘stop the leaves from falling.’ We must gather up and not scatter out. The true direction is not outside of us, it is inside. The only child to be born into the world at this late and critical stage should be one’s own inner child. This must become the intention and the new purpose for procreation. Jesus said ‘in order to enter the Kingdom we must become as children’. These are not idle words. Each must pay attention to their own process of getting out of their respective entrapments. There must be no deferment of this responsibility by continuing to adhere to established systems that seduce us to be ‘safe’. There are innumerable excuses for deferment that ultimately amount to no more than states of imprisonment that serve only to increase our sense of loss. Application to the process of self purification even at this late stage can reduce dramatically the level of culling now required before the teachers feel their effectiveness return to an acceptable level of reasonable possibility. It is time to see thing as they are and not as we choose them to be. The end is near. Instinct is a lower level of intuition designed to measure the reduced needs of teaching archetypes only.
