The Great Die-Back
[voice from the Other Side - Sha'Tara]
Do what you think you are long enough and you become what you do. That is, you become less than you were when you chose your particular doing to the exclusion of other possibilities. You shrink your mind, your consciousness, to the lowest levels of gut, muscle, nerve; to "feel-good" reactions from beliefs, conveniences, sympathies and bodily ease. When bodily comforts and base desires finally rule all you reach your own particular dead end. Ascribe this pattern to the majority and you can easily deduct its end.
What causes environmental pollution and over-population? Apply Occam's razor here and you get this answer: greed and lust combined with ever-present fear. Seeing no turn-around in either, one can deduce that Earthians are poised for a massive die-back - the certain condition of the predator when its prey has been over-hunted and is disappearing. The Earthian's prey is the natural resources of this planet. This is not speaking of oil reserves and other high-profile resources essential to keeping a technological system alive. This is speaking of three basic resources that can no longer be taken for granted: arable land to grow food, potable water and breathable air.
These sources are no longer either boundless or cheaply available. They are disappearing exponentially despite the half-hearted efforts to slow the destruction and feeble-minded political promises assuring the fools that in "x" number of years the trends will be reversed - without change of lifestyle or attitude and without sacrifice. Yeah, right.
Whatever "new" technological tricks are conjured by the mad doctors of Technocratica and their handlers in the moneyed factions to deal with the certain and sudden end of plenty will only benefit the very few and for a short interim. The final score will not be at all as expected. For as it was prophesied thousands of years ago, "the meek shall inherit the earth."
The downtrodden, the oppressed, the slaves of the current global marketplace, these are the meek. Of them will come the last survivors simply because their personal and current hard times have conditioned them to survive. Already they drink polluted water, grow food in inhospitable soil and breathe poisoned air as they survive, somehow, in deserts, burned out forests and the endless slums and "barrios" of this world's megalopolises - without any of the comforts, conveniences, amenities or questionable "social services" we so like to take for granted.
When the great power grids collapse many of these "survivors" will hardly notice. But in time they will realize that their lives have become noticeably easier and safer. The Super-predator they once served in dread will be gone, as will his whip.
Of them, though they be few and scattered remnants, may yet arise a new breed of Earthian worthy of being labeled "human" in a broader context. For those who have hope, that is a good bet. For those who do not, just keep on trucking to the end of the road - it isn't that far now.
and yet oh so close to "reality"
great write

Really compelling write, Reg...and a wake-up call in more ways than one.

Call me an optimist or dreamer, but I have complet faith in mankind. Alright so our path has not been at straight as some of us would like it to be. Not since the days of Cain has this world seen peace, but to think that we wil be the cause of our own demise is far from reality. The reality is that there is and always has been someone who has all things under his conrole.
Great and marvelous things will take place when the time is right, but all things have to be proved, the wicked will become more wicked, the poor become even poorer. A righteous people are being gathered from all corners of the world, the poor meek in spirit as also the rich meek in spirit. Do not be under the impression that meek means weak, it in reality it means teachable. They will learn and they (we) will survive.
Just watch for the signs, they are all about us.
Any species that expands its numbers beyond the carrying capacity of its ecology is headed for a die-off. We are, like the old saying, burning the candle at both ends. A distant observer would probably judge that our main purpose in life is to increase our numbers "without restriction by self or otherwise" and in so doing are bent on total consumption of all natural resources, thus destroying our ecology.
I saw some comments that desparaged technology as being the culprit in this . Technology is the halmark of humanity and has been since before the discovery of how to manage fire. In fact, technology has given humanity the means to restrict births and by so doing has given the world a lifeline while at the same time has delivered knowledge and medicine for longer, healthier lives. But too many humans have taken advantage of the longer, healthier life options and have failed to grasp that without a concomitant reduction in births there will be an unsustainable imbalance. The lifeline has been largely rejected, mostly by the "meek" and their controllers and mostly through ignorance fostered by their traditions. The meek will likely inherit the earth. Yeah, right. By crowding everything else off the planet. But what will it be worth by then?

We have children and they have children. Do we care about them and their children? I cannot justify not doing anything and everything possible to make this Earth a better place for them.
God be with us. We need him.

Now about this piece... very thought provoking from a spiritual, philosophical and REAL realm! A lot of truth is prsented here, and the theroy of evolution is certainly examined & tested. Brilliant thoughts on paper.. thank you for sharing!

some DEEP stuff! I'm really not into, nor qualified to comment on either prophecies or metaphysics - BUT -- a lot of what you state is brought to light in several documentaries.
Highly recommend: "The Corporation" and Gore's "Global Warming."

I can agree with your thoughts as to who are the "meek", the survivors.
We "civilized" are certainly slaves to our man-made comforts; at my age, I hope they remain until I reach the end of the road.
You really HAVE been having some serious thoughts, Reg~

(yes, my email notifications seem to be coming through fine, now, too)
You bring up some salient points, and certain to provoke thought. The animal kingdom makes its adjustments as their environment changes, indeed has been doing so for jillions of years. Man will make his too, if he doesn't anhilate himself first. As to anyone listening. Alas, man is very hard headed as well as "hard of hearing."
"The meek shall inherit the earth."
Have a wonderful Christmas, Regis.
