Who doesn’t love a good mystery? We read them and perhaps more frequently; watch them on everything from an iphone to a 60 inch HD plasma TV screen. Our minds like sinking into a mystery, trying to figure it out before the reveal. Some folks are kinda like a pit bull with a rag doll when it comes to mysteries; they won’t quit chewing it apart till they figure it out. I’m one of those.
Increasingly over the last four years; my mind jumps back & forth between what has happened to this planet, and the refusal of so many to acknowledge said peril on any level. I fluctuate like a ping pong ball between deep sadness over what has happened and mind numbing incredulity at how nobody wants to acknowledge it.

When my mind encounters something it doesn’t or cannot understand, I seek to gain that understanding, sometimes to the point of analysis paralysis; and I simply don’t yet understand this planet wide denial syndrome. It’s not for the lack of trying.

Millions of folks worldwide have been “waking up” to a great many rude and unpleasant facts about how the power elite have turned this place into a prison planet. They just start to get a handle on things when we’re blindsided by Fukushima. That’ll sure as hell spill the wind from your sails. The straw that broke the camels back, a bridge too far.
The good news is that humanity is awakening right on time, and the matrix’s days are numbered. The bad news is; the planet is dying from radiation poisoning, and we’re on our own now. And your rent is overdue. As if just surviving the day anymore isn’t difficult enough sometimes, and on top of personal dilemmas, the world is dying.
Humans can only see less than 3% of the visible spectrum, and can only hear around 2% of the acoustic spectrum. Most haven’t even begun to use the chakra system properly; so maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to think we know everything. Maybe we also have such limits on how much cognitive dissonance the mind can cope with.
Evolution and the natural world equip all animals with an instinct for self preservation. A part of this survival mechanism called the discount rate deals with the recognition of and response to life threatening situations. Continue reading . . .
