The Politics of Ill reason.
In this season of elections the country searches for its soul. A soul that is not an eternal manifestation of spirit but rather a temporary cobbled manifesto of historical events, action and reaction, thrown against the back drop of time.
There is a casual examination of the candidates, the issues are just bandied about. Seemingly the same issues, every 4 years and perhaps the same candidates? Cripple minded individuals offered to us by the reigning parties, democrats and republicans. Sad on many levels, but truly stifling to consider that the thinking, feeling and willing progressive minded members of society, will have their intelligence battered and challenged by a process that reveals nothing close to a true evaluation of our material condition. Nor the path and plan to make our collective stay here more fruitful.
At the very crux of the argument is the utter absurdity that so much time and resource be globally ferried to the altar of material gain. Complex schemes at enjoying possessions that like the body, despite intense maintenance regiments will perish in due course.
It would be ludicrous for our major party candidates to mention any notion of truth. To mention even in passing that if 1 millionth of the budget to run the country would be used to support the concept that we are all on the planet for a short time. Perhaps we could recognize this and use it as the thread in our existence that binds us and all living creatures together. Yup we are all the same on the only level that really matters….
The human condition can not be taken as a virtue, thats significance is the culmination of chance. Random biological factors evolving from a primordial soup tracking across species modification? Birthing throughout creation, tweaking, evolving in the cosmic womb arriving as the great ape kingdom…to a down hill boogie, three chord progression that is feeling, thinking, and free willing human life ?
It’s an interesting commentary, that questions of origin can be politicized, and trivialized, gaps in the process of understanding our individual predicament and societal reflection are never trued against anything resembling good reason. Theory’s are just that, wisdom trivialized. The suffering and its varied manifestations proliferate. The hard fact of our true constitution, as humanity, all born, growing and withering under the same sun.
Yes the politics of ill reason begin and end with the steadfast conclusion that solving the ergonomics of existence on the material plane, with no regard for the spiritual origins, are manifest destiny, the panacea for our temporal condition.
A recent foray into a multi dimensional variety store, yielded a visual into a very large segment of society, if one counts the number of stores in the chain and the enormous amount of product they sell, Mostly cheap foreign made goods. Merchandising management, ownership and customers perpetrate suffering and a disconnect from the natural world. Evidence that the realm of spiritual consciousness has been terminated and all hope is lost on the bottom line of a corporate P&l statement.
Hope for change, renewal and peace, continue to manifest? The sad reality is the legions of unconscious sufferers will vote for a nowhere man candidate from their own ranks. The conviction of our oneness that tears down walls is reliant upon kindness and spiritual realization refuting the politics of ill reason by the swift call to action that our collective humanity would demand. Our spiritual oneness will reveal the truth and and bring an end to the ill reason of politics.
