Month: October 2018

For decades the programs on Channel 3 had played every day, new episodes on a theme. Then one day a program was replaced with something new, something different. At first it was annoying but it was only one, everything else remained the same so it wasn’t that threatening or bad.

Next another changed. This was getting scary now and annoyance was increasing. Yet again another and another changed and the familiar programs like "Woman, Stay in the Kitchen", "Black Man, Serve Me on Demand", "Queerboy Gets a Good Pounding" and "Latinos Pick the Produce" had been replaced by programs that just didn't make sense. Those programs were depicting people getting along, helping each other through difficulties, including everyone instead of separating into groups and peaceful dealings in business and sudo-politics.

This angered many and they began to lash out at those who were grateful for the change by attempting to paint them as bleeding hearts, Commies, Terrorists, rabble-rousers, liars, cheats, mentally unbalanced and more. After all, they weren't following the ‘Old Programs’, the ones that had been playing for decades. The whole thing was going to hell in a handbasket and there was nothing they were able to do about it - except be angry and treat others poorly as punishment for not marching in lockstep.

Humanity is crossing a threshold.

This change was "prophesied" in their Bible yet they are choosing to reject that prophecy now that it's here because they are finding that the elitist mentality must change to encompass one of unity and common good. This does not set well with those who are enjoying their positions of power and control, even if it’s falsely perceived. And they will do anything to attempt to bring these new programs to an end. But they haven't yet realized the new programs are appealing to the majority of Humanity and will not be replaced with the old, outdated programs from the past. Those days are over and yet they try so hard to make them return. And their anger builds and builds.

But their anger is what is destroying them and they have no clue, nor do they desire to know, why they are failing. They are at peace with their anger. It is destroying them and will cause the exact opposite of their desires.

They are granting us our Freedom.

It's that time of year here... temperatures begin cooling down quickly and often house guests of non-Human form begin making their way inside to warmer areas. In one of our bathrooms we have a small LED nightlight and the glow drew our little friend to construct a web to entrap small, unsuspecting insects navigating the rooms of our home. When I spotted this little spider, half the size of a pencil eraser, I noticed it had built a web in and around the back of the light. This little one was clever using the glow of the light to draw insects into its' web.

But what I noticed was the size of the shadow being cast by the little spider. It was at least four to five times the size of this little guy. I thought, "Would this big shadow scare off an unsuspecting catch just by the size of that shadow?" That got me thinking...

When we encounter problems in our lives we often fixate on the problem or solution. It's rare we step back to discover the real source of the problem similar to how modern medicine treats the symptoms of an illness instead of curing the source of the condition being treated. The attention we focus often fixates on the shadow and not the form causing the shadow to be cast. We mount defenses for the oversize shadow, swinging punches toward it in dramatic style only to strike more and more air with no results to the source of the problem.

Instead we can perhaps realize the shadow is a distorted projection of an issue hiding motionless in the brightness of a light, an attempt to incite any number of emotions to experience. Could what we are searching for be hidden in the blinding light just out of sight? Is the shadow a way of causing us to make discoveries of our own instead of accepting the 'truths' of others who may have it all wrong? It always seems when we are given something using no real effort, that 'something' often seems to have little value. But when we use our own mental abilities to noodle out problems we often are able to remember those solutions far longer than ones given using no effort.

Will we fall prey to the shadow... or will we understand the shadow for what it is, a distorted projection of a truth hiding in the light.
