my ex from long ago was convinced that acid rain and the ozone hole were due to overpopulation and therefore was against having kids.... He was just plain scared of responsibility and chose the "virtuous" way out... had to pack him a bag of groceries when I kicked him out...
Not unlike the human body, the earth can heal given time and a population that isn't trying to control the weather or throwing their garbage on the street.
It is a tragedy when people choose not to have kids for these reasons...and lately I hear shrew-types saying "I don't want to bring kids into this mess"...I get it, I really do, but we can't stop being human beings...we just can't.
For all the arrogance of mankind, this current civilization is only a burp in Gaia’s timeline. If she was truly that pissed at is, she’d scratch us off like a dog does fleas.
It is the hypocrisy that boils my butt. Like you said, the corporations and el-ites spouting off about my plastic straw when they are the biggest polluters. Yes I clean up my dog’s poop and put my butts in my pocket but it isn’t out of the guilt they are trying (and succeeding in most sheep) to foster - it’s becuase I can do my own little bit in my own little corner out of respect for the Mama.
(Cuz yanno, if the Mama ain’t happy, ain’t NOBODY happy)
Too bad those who need this wise message won't be the ones reading it. Amid the rest of the insanity, one of the weirder things was calling the unjabbed unclean, as you alluded to with "vaccine purification". When that started I thought - WTF, we are the clean ones, we are unpolluted, uncontaminated. THEY are the filthy ones contaminated with the MRNA, spike, and as it turns out DNA, and so much more. I was so happy when the term "pureblood" for the unjabbed took hold. It's so perfect.
Like most things, I think the green movement is mostly bullshit. If corporations really cared, they would insist on making things that last - like appliances from 40 years ago. But now, even major appliances come with a one year warranty. The only thing green about the green movement is money.
Good point about junk appliances. We were ready to replace our 35-year old freezer with a new model when the salesman said we were getting a great freezer and might get 10 years out of it. We had no idea! When we pressed him he said "Oh, they don't make them like that anymore. 10 years is doing very well with a new model. If you can keep your old one going, you should!". It was just a door gasket, so we're still using it - probably 40 years now. Another good example is ethanol. If you care about the environment, and I do, the LAST think you'd want is more row crops, especially since the best land was already planted so marginal land must be brought into production. More acres and chemicals needed for the same bushels, and usually not so flat (more runoff into the infamous "dead zone"). There's nothing green about any of it.
This is a VERY good point. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a TV repairman. Nothing like that exists anymore...if you have a problem with your big screen TV you call Got Junk. It really is a crime.
ahahahahaha. i was a second year apprentice when i opened up the back of an electric stove to fix it for a Very Nice gal i had met...... my jaw dropped open. what the hell are all these wires? and why? anyhoo, after the initial flop sweat, i did manage to figure out everything ran through the timer and eventually turned the timer dial which 'fixed' everything. hilarious. repairing tv's required an oscilloscope. way, way too high end gear for the common folk.....

As usual, a very complicated subject, which may be approached from different angles. As you say... of course we should act responsibly toward earth (globe or disk) but I have always considered it to be terribly arrogant to think that we have the capability of "destroying earth"; I don't think so.
Also, your article makes me think about the inconsistent (read contradictory) thinking of many people (sheep) who identify with the "official narrative". On one hand, we humans are "the scourge of the earth"; with our acts we are endangering the planet... but on the other hand, we need to wear masks everywhere to protect other humans (who are the scum of the earth), even if masks will destroy the environment of the planet. I say: please, pick a lane. Similarly, they preach that if the CO2 concentration of the planet's atmosphere raises from 0.04% to 0.05% we will be doomed... but the alternative is to move to Mars, with an atmosphere 95% CO2... Gimme a break.
I know!! I love it. But the agenda is filled with these paradoxes and contradictions. They keep pushing the envelope to see how far we will go with our bobbing heads..."yes, yes, yes!! whatever you say oh master!!!" It is crazy.
It amazes me that all the Super Rich got that way because billions of guilty people bought their goods.
They moved most of their own manufacturing pollution to a place where it can't be seen.
GOD had a far better plan in creating our habitat than the self proclaimed geniuses that want to change it all.
The problem will eventually take care of itself.
There is now about enough pavement in the USA to cover an area about 1/2 the size of the State of Colorado. As cities get bigger they buy up more crop raising irrigation water.
We look at a planet billions of years old and think it has settled down from volcanic eruption and earthquakes because this particular bunch of humanity has been around in a civilized world for about one second as compared to that vast time. It would only take a burp from this ancient Earth to wipe the slate and record clean.
The issue that keeps returning for me ( I know this is repetitive) is “ why “ . Many of the issues ..eg the perpetrators of guilt etc are very clear ,obvious and in front of our nose , so to speak ( not withstanding your apt analysis) . Perhaps a benefit for me is that I assess people in a different way Markers like intellect and “ friendliness “ are not measures of mental acuity / wisdom / critical thinking or of the person themselves.
The "why?" is what continually eats at me as well. If we were playing some mystery game to identify a murderer and you see a guy standing over a body holding a bloody knife with his foot on the neck of the victim, and his arm poised for another jab, you would look at the other players of the game and say, "ok, right? you see? game over, right? it's him, right?" but they all look at you like you're nuts...it IS perplexing.
I've heard similar things many times...and that really is the whole intention...I sometimes wonder if there is some odd channelling going on...but it just goes to prove that there is consensus in all of our thought...and in the midst of the sheep majority, it is important that we are constantly aware that how we see things is how many other people see things. I am continually astounded how we all see world events pretty much exactly the same way.
I write what is truly, honestly, in my heart...I don't try to second guess, and "write to an audience"...I don't need to...we all share these thoughts. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!!!
This article helps me look at the narrative of climate change in a new way. Actually a way that makes sense. Years ago, I recall a friend (perhaps an early shrew) remarking about the people using their jets as travel to their climate change meetings. I remember defending them as needing that mode of transportation…they were very busy and important. I never thought twice about it. Now I am thinking twice about everything!!!
Yeah, the jet thing is such a clear display of hypocrisy. If there were not lots of other evidence of this "rules for thee, not for me" you could easily pass it off. The jet situation isn't the only one. During the height of Covid mask wearing all of the photos we saw of the "elite" at their weddings, and parties, and conferences, all without masks...that kind of gave it away. It is sad that we do now have to "think twice about everything"...I am at the point where I only think once about most of it...and that once is "what is the angle this time?"
Ha! You had me chuckling at "equal opportunity earther". Isn't that refreshing? To not be a slinger of pejoratives? It's certainly refreshing to read.
I appreciated this article on guilt. I think that's one of the things that frustrates me most. Is people flinging vitriol about issues without actually caring, or in such a manner that shows how little they care. I've been a tree hugger in the most Anne of Green Gables way for ever so long. I love creation! And that's why I do not want to litter, and want to reduce plastics, and want our air/water/land clean (also for my sake, and my children's sakes, and my grandchildren's sakes, and your sake, and your children's sakes, etc...). So when my (sheepy) husband says to me "You'd love this book, it's about climate change and wolves' migration paths altering...." I'm immediately just hearing "blah blah blah", because, ah, you DON'T know me. Enjoy your guilt and your entertaining propganda, maybe I'll listen someday when you're enthralled with creation! I've tried to be part of local nature groups, encouraging planting native plants and being a little wild in our home gardens - some of which I even helped start - but when it starts out with members saying how much they hate humans, I'm done. There's no point in enjoying nature with someone who literally hates...me...herself...all people. Yuck!
This line stood out powerfully: "Rid yourself of your reprehensible repugnance through vaccine purification." And really brings out the essence of what most of this is - religion. People who reject God, the Creator, must worship something. It's how we were deigned. So they worship the created. But because it's missing the core of truth - which is the Creator himself - then it all goes amiss, and the love is not true.
I thought you might appreciate this poem I wrote in 2021. It was given to me while walking down the street (ironically to get Ivermectin from my local pharmacy before they stopped carrying it) and observing all the signs in everyone's yards:
New Faith
(June 22nd, 2021)
The brick and mortar their cathedrals
Purified with the incense of antibacterials
The doctors the priests
The nurses the acolytes
The janitors the thurifers
The white coats the vestments
With stoles of stainless steal about their necks:
Their authority to listen to the secrets of our hearts
The papered and wheeling beds the altars
Where we bow down and splay ourselves before them
The first bath and ointment:
The baptism and anointing
The shots the Host dwelling within us
We sacrifice our children
In this blind faith we follow
Offering them up
To this God of Medicine
The policies the Tradition
Regardless of what the (cherry-picked) Gospel says
Chelles, thank you for sharing your impassioned poem. We have been under the foot (sandal, boot) of a 'priest class' for millennia. It's not a religious priesthood...unless one considers greed, self-service, egocentrism and a lust for power a 'religion' (which some do). It is a hierarchy of control. Such a priesthood are interpreters and servants of False Authority which is (and always has been) masquerading as god(s). The priests of this False Authority wear many different robes -- suits, lab coats, political party colors, military uniforms -- and distribute and enforce the belief in dangerous (if not outright evil) dogma. And the False Authority itself dons whatever disguise it can, mimicking and mocking true morality and beneficence. Pick any true religion of our present day, and the False Authority has been there from inception, infiltrating through its priests. BUT the False Authority cannot disguise itself with Love. Because feeling and expressing love, even for its own servants, is something which it is not capable. That is its weapon and its weakness. <3
OMG...how beautiful!! Wonderful poem. And wow, you nail it here...this is exactly what I was intimating in the article...and you are living it.
I thought you might like this Jung quote, because you say it right here yourself...
"The idea of an all-powerful divine Being is present everywhere, unconsciously if not consciously, because it is an archetype. There is in the psyche some superior power, and if it is not consciously a god, it is the "belly" at least, in St. Paul's words. I therefore consider it wiser to acknowledge the idea of God consciously, for, if we do not, something else is made God, usually something quite inappropriate and stupid such as only an "enlightened" intellect could hatch forth."
hey. what about an ontario meet up this spring? haliburton forest? the canoe site is gigantic. or other sites can be linked. mid may to avoid the beasties. anyone interested? or even a coffee meet up? or both? is anyone interested in a community? it would be fun. or i'll do a homer simpson slow retreat into the hedge........
That would be great if it could be organized...of course all of us are all over the place...
dagnammit! of course we can organize!!!!! nope. likely not. goin back to my ma. and the plow.
my ex from long ago was convinced that acid rain and the ozone hole were due to overpopulation and therefore was against having kids.... He was just plain scared of responsibility and chose the "virtuous" way out... had to pack him a bag of groceries when I kicked him out...
Not unlike the human body, the earth can heal given time and a population that isn't trying to control the weather or throwing their garbage on the street.
It is a tragedy when people choose not to have kids for these reasons...and lately I hear shrew-types saying "I don't want to bring kids into this mess"...I get it, I really do, but we can't stop being human beings...we just can't.
Thanks Todd, another great article.
