The Mother of All Floods


A new movie on an old topic, real old, Hollywood goes all out for the big bucks on old Mayan Calendar, and the end of time on the long count calendar.
Yup, 2012 block buster, you bet. People will want to see how it all ends. Is it wishful thinking or what? Is that the only way that we can imagine change in this world of men?

Predictions about this portrayal of the end? Well you can bet government will have prepared for it secretly, paid for by all the money big banks have been ripping off from all the poor taxpayers, that would be a nice little twist. “We ripped you off of billions and billions for your own good you see”. I like it all ready.

Than, you have to expect the masses to be portrayed as “insane and brutal”, kept in the dark for their own good, hell, “they would have gone mad if we had told them”… And we can also expect a few survivors who make it on luck and the love of some god, so that all the poor bastards in the audience can identify with that, knowing all too well that if you don’t have a fortune in the bank, that will be the bottom line to the selection of who gets saved and who goes down the drain.

We will most probably see some justification for a brutal police/military state. And if all is not prepared in time, some low level government patsy will be made to blame. And we will most probably see some failure due to unruly masses of your average people, as if average people had a chance in hell of being chosen…

The president will most probably be an African American. Just like in the last movie “Armageddon”. Right?

It should all be real good simpleton entertainment in the most predictable way, plenty of CGI to fill in the gaps left by the 2 dimensional characters in it all.

So, why?

All the Bad News in the World


Bad News. And there is plenty of it, one could spend the entire day, every day, reading about all the insane behavior of individuals and groups and corporations and governments around the world and it would still be a drop in the bucket. The tip of the iceberg as it often / always seems to be.

Another sleepless night.



Perhaps thinking (with out much skill in the task (at this moment in particular)) about the fate of the human specie (along with one’s own fate) does have a few little drawbacks; like sleepless nights, loss of appetite, the inability to even pretend a smile at what often seems to come across as stupid humor, periods of rage that find no ethical outlet, periods of depression that makes sleep the only desired exercise. Music, movies all seem so stupid even with all the special effects, 2 dimensional at best. Friends, even old ones seem to fade away with time, and strangers can almost sense that something is “wrong” with you, too much of a mirror perhaps to their own trampled awareness of the real world around them/us.

Deluge & Karma


Deluge & Karma

Deluge; -noun
1. a great flood of water; inundation; flood.
2. a drenching rain; downpour.
3. anything that overwhelms like a flood

Karma; -noun
1. Theosophy. the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished … according to that person's deeds …

Example; A deluge of karma?

Karma could be simply thought of as the results of are actions, and a deluge of karma might be understood as an overwhelming flood of reactions to are behavior as humans on this planet. Simply wondering where humanity has come from, what humanity is, and where it is going. Where is humanity going?

“There is a hard rain coming.” again...

Many people seem to feel it, although often reluctant to admitting it, even more reluctant to talking about it, but the gut feeling, and one might perhaps say, the intuition of it is there non the less. There is a hard rain coming. If people don’t want to talk about it face to face than perhaps people might be willing to comment and speak out in a blog, share their thoughts, feelings and intuitions? Well, that was the thought in starting this blog. It has often seemed that the genius of humanity lies in the numbers of us, the ones unknown, “unfamous” one might say.

So, where is this specie going? What are the options? What might the options be? What can be done? …etc… All those questions might be sorted out in time.
