"9/11 as metaphor"
10-18-04, 04:41 am (PDT)
There is a term in film making which I can't seem to recall
which in effect means that a film takes on an "unintentional"
effect on the audience and world at large.
I was wondering about this in regards to 9/11.
The "unintended" aspect that seems to have emerged
despite the "intentional" ones.
It becomes kind of a metaphor of sorts describing a
quintessential "shared" moment in time. It is one thing
for 9/11 to have happened and it is tragic true but in the
bigger unintentional picture perhaps it is a "witness to history"
effect occuring or to "horror" or perhaps simply to "reality".
Never have so many perhaps witnessed via a medium an
act of such a nature.
Now was that intentional.... it is hard to say.... Could the
results be predicted..... not quite exactly..... What in effect then
happened?.... What did we witness?.... The brutality of humanity
or wait..... is there something more here..... we witness sort of the
power of intent and yet the power of unintent perhaps as well.
Certainly it had the effect the perpetrators "intended" yet metaphorically something else is happening almost on a
spiritual level..... we are caught in the dilemna of "existence"
why are we here ...??? to witness ourselves and our self-destructive tendancies and brutalities....
We capture as it were or are caught in kind of a philosphical
or quintessential struggle of humanity. I don't know if that was
an intended effect though. We witness a tradgey but we witness
it together enmasse and it poses a question to our very souls.
?Why are we here? What are we doing? Who are we? Who are
they?
This kind of shared question is almost like a group meditation
a group query.
We are all gathered at one shared moment asking the same
"deep" and unanswerable questions and they resonate in us and out to the Universe. It is well for each of us to ask these question
but in masse there is like a shared prayer or intent or solicitation
effect to the Creator or Great Spirit.
We are caught in a Celestial group hug or concern as were....
and take solace in the shared echoe as it resonates in atmosphere and ? possiblity in our sharing and togetherness the Universe
responds???????  More >

Sit in a lotus position facing east.......
Now look to your left.......
Consider which way the Earth is rotating.....
Now look East again......
Consider which way the Earth is rotating....
Now look Right.....
Consider which way the Earth is rotating.....
Now look East again....
Can you say with certainty whether the
Earth rotates clockwise or counter clockwise
with respect to the Sun?

THE MAGICAL DANCE OF EVOLUTION

June 11, 2004

I suppose, that we as humans, at some point, have to appreciate, accept, and understand, more, that we cannot control or dominate the natural order of things.
I suppose as well though, that we do, in some sense, have a collective "influence" upon it but even with our super computers, space stations, internet, particle accelerators, nao and bio technology and nuclear energies, we are and most likely will always be, to some degree, ever part of the natural order and never exactly equal to or above it.
Now this may seem dismaying and disquieting, that we are not the definitive masters of our destiny, yet the more we come to understand the nature of the natural order, the more we can begin to see how wonderously complex and miraculous it truly is.
To ever think, that we, even at our very best, could ever fathom its total depth, length, breath and time, is, well most presumptuous to say that least, yet even in its majestic and unfathomable scope and diversity we do still, at times, hold a cherished and dear place and harmony within its scheme.
Take heart too, for it would seem that this world, this galaxy, this creation is evolving and that perhaps such is the new frontier of which we now face. To evolve in harmony and grace with this evolving natural order. To fit in, as it were, with this dance of evolution as it progresses on its way, in time and its continuum of existence. It is truly both frightening and exciting simultaneously
Now, there are new steps to learn, new songs to sing, new feeling to master,
new dreams to construct and new love to experience.
Can we muster the courage and resolve needed to master the challenges of this dance. This wonderous and tricky dance of evolution. Not our evolution per sae but the evolution of this, the natural order.
Is the Natural order changing then? and is change the same as evolution?
Is change the same as evolution? an interesting question and one which we will
have to study and give more thought too in the days and years to come as we find our new footing and rhythm in this, the Magical Dance of Evolution.
