Mind the gap -
It’s been a while, but I have for you a worthwhile proposal. One that was worth the wait and warrants your time and attention. Welcome to September 2008, Ladies and Gentlemen. We are literally on the threshold. Hopefully these words, written on 7 September 2008 in Wellington, New Zealand will assist the global crossing.
Aldous Revisited
what is it about fantasy that sparks the ideal? is reality so different from what we imagine?
These curious ponderings borne from sensual conversations and encounters, merely ask the questions that may be not far away, just undefined.
If we consider all the fantasies we have –
there are many, and not only limited to the hidden, mysterious cravings we’d
like to explore.
We imagine ideals, for all things societal, all life culturally. Where does this all originate?
and where could this be heading is probably what you are wondering.
Let’s start at the beginning. What is culture?
If you were fortunate to receive an education from a history teacher with a passion for philosophy, you would have received an interpretation quite thorough and metaphysical. Cultural pillars of society and civilisation include: Family/Community, Government, Education, Business, and Spirituality/Religion. As building blocks and mortar to our evolution, culture is our collective engine. What is the culture? With the answer, you have the audience, the marketing angle, the finger on the pulse.
We are all striving to be more in tune with a culture, with collective ideals that structure our abilities to evolve. All pillars, as mentioned above, are then able to communicate messages that either enable or debilitate a collective to create the structure for ideals to manifest or at the very least, for the ideals to breed and incubate.
as individuals we all delve into limitless
possibilities of what could be and once in a while, we tap into what the
collective is thinking and feeling.
What are masses ready for? Who, as the primary fuel for the collective engine, is the mass?
Ah, now to begin. Who are these masses of energy comprising a collective stream of being?
Does not every generation possess a collective ideal to be made manifest based on the
evolutionary cycle that is propelling them forward and upward? It is really important to understand what is happening collectively. Now more than ever, because more of the collective is aware – in tune with what is needed to sustain our evolutionary paths.
This is an ode to all of us born as the bridge generation, 1962 to 1969.
We are the 125 year leap for those borne before and after.
It is up to us to use what we know, to help serve the structures of our culture, to build new forms for the ideals, whenever and wherever needed. Everyone born after 1970 is relying on us, on what we can do as a collective. All those born before 1959 are using us to carry them through, across, over….And as a bonus, we are aging slower so that we can get this work done.
Heed this message, people of this world.
Our time begins.
In January 2009, Pluto officially enters Capricorn, a sign in a most harmonious angle and element to our collective Uranus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo. The next twelve years will be our gateway to connect the collective, to bridge generation gaps. Slowly but surely this is leaking into collective representations. Just look at the married dichotomy of the US electoral candidates. 60’s generation with Barack (b. 1961) & Sarah (b. 1964), being used by those from the 1930’s and early 1940’s as vehicles to get us to where we need to go. Personally, this writer doesn’t think the elders are genuine and truly required in this particular instance.
I was given a brief revelation today by someone born in the mid 70’s, the other end of the bridge. If Barack & Sarah were one ticket, we’d have the ideal.
The cultural pillar of Government is on the verge of possible transformation. All the energies are working in our favour. Here’s one individual’s ideal. What if Barack & Sarah were to run against a ticket of, let’s say…Ron Paul and Bill Bradley?
Or better yet, what if there wasn’t a need for polarity, just consensus governance?
It’s a big thought, a new paradigm.
What would happen, not just in America, but all over the globe if we turned over the twisted forms – unwound all the tangled wires and started again. Hopefully wireless.
What we now call Government is an old concept, yet it is a cultural pillar, necessary to link foundations and
buildings of our civilisations. It certainly needs an update, a rebirth, and our generation those of us born between 1962 and 1969, are the midwives. (Borrowed from the work of Jean Houston)
I am duly inspired by just the possibility that any of this may in small doses come to be, realise itself and shift the masses and aging paradigms.
We have great foundations, thanks to our enlightened founding fathers.
Our pillars, our culture needs to be rebuilt, refurbished, and strengthened to hold up the new buildings of the generational civilisations to follow.
Think, my fellow citizens. Give your self time and space to imagine one or two ideals. Take on the responsibility for what starts off as possibility…It always has the potential to be reality.
Till soon, W
Aldous Huxley quote from Grey Eminence, published 1941: Good is a product of the ethical and spiritual artistry of individuals; it cannot be mass-produced.
