I Am Consciousness Itself

 

My 2 cents worth.

Like all of you, I have been deeply distressed, offended and appalled by the current race situation. Having grown up in the dichotomy of being the child of the military (where I was taught equality of every life, religion and culture) vs deep family roots in the privilege of a white Mississippi upper middle class or the 'I'm in charge because I'm white and you're not' mind set, I have always been confused by (what I consider to be) the inane idea that one color is better or less than another. I am also appalled by the pomposity of one color/ethnicity, religion/belief system, class, and any other label of separation you care to use as being the only right one.

The fact that the overwhelm, conquer, then forcing the subdued to conform or die is, best I can tell from studying history from every perspective I can find, makes me think that is it hardwired in our human DNA as it is in the animals we watched to learn survival as we evolved over the centuries.

That said, my confusion comes with the understanding of knowledge, skills, technology mankind has acquired, the awakening and ensuing protests and whistle blowing about these things happening for so long, why the bloody hell are these things still the same? My conclusion is simple, AVARICE AND EGO.

So many oligarchs have proven over and over that this is a doable and sustainable way to control the masses that the collective has taken it to be the proper way of life. I call BS!!! When one group is pressed hard enough, long enough, just like a volcano is born, eruption is eminent. Why does this surprise the complacent...wake up doggone it!

With the abundance of the earth, no one life, animal vegetable or resource should not be supported and saved from abuse and overuse.

Even the planet has had enough. We have created the condition(s) that have paved the avenues for our own destruction to occur and planet is taking full advantage of them to say to us, “ONE MORE TIME, HEY, STUPID IGNORANT THINGS ABUSING ME AND EACH OTHER, WAKE UP AND STOP IT OR YOU'RE ALL GONE!!”

If the self-appointed and heretofore allowed supremacy folk would get off their notions, egos, wallets and share, the entire world would benefit. Yes, yes, I know that is expecting a lot but with people waking up to this and #callingoutthelie more and more I feel it is doable. Pollyanna-ish I admit HOWEVER I do not see why it cannot happen.

I hear a chorus of “Yeah right! How long is that going to take?” My answer is “How long is a piece of string?”

It will take as long as it takes but if we never start, we will never get there.

SO, protest intelligently, keep speaking out, share this idea of equality, support each other in this endeavor, VOTE intelligently and for the love of everything living do not give up!

Helen Keller said it best I think, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight and no vision.”

Therefore, I say that I do not weep for the blind me I leave behind me. I will continue to evolve and advocate for this notion as long and in every way possible within my purview to accomplish.

Thanks for reading, I hope it has helped somehow. #DoPeaceBeLove
