The 21st May came and went much the same as any other day on Planet Earth; no skies full of “enraptured” souls going home and nothing new in world geological movements either. Any surprise there? No, didn’t think so.
We are “Biological”, why is that so hard for some people to live with? I have absolutely no need to rely on an “afterlife” in order to live this “actual” one!
I admit to having spent many years thinking about something as yet unknown, possible “spiritual existence” soul, metaphysics in general and yet I have an abiding feeling we are simply “smart monkeys” (not that smart!) why would that be so bad anyway? Maybe if we accepted we have a small lifespan and that we must leave behind our children, we should make every possible effort to make the planet a “Far better” place for them and theirs. The ludicrous thing is that we can and have had the power to make Earth a paradise for centuries but politics commerce and religion have stopped it fundamentally in its tracks. “Politicians”? “A few greedy men attempting to line their pockets” Merchants ditto, religious leaders ditto.
I have been accused of so many things over thirty five years because I have not been a real part of “society” having lived a life outside the confines of gainful employment etc I have been able to take a good long hard look at how it all works and what it really represents. Now most people will have some derogatory comment about that life and me in general, it won’t be anything I haven’t heard before and it will flow like water off the ducks back; it doesn’t matter to me. It is clear that there is a comment or metaphor created for anyone who questions the system and it is designed to be an attack on an individual’s moral status. I was thinking about the word “Vagabond” and how it has negative connotations; In the law of England, the Vagrancy Act 1824 provides that “every person wandering abroad and lodging in any barn or outhouse, or in any deserted or unoccupied building, or in the open air, or under a tent, or in any cart or waggon, [...] and not giving a good account of himself or herself [...] shall be deemed a rogue and vagabond,” and may be imprisoned for up to three months on conviction by a magistrate .How can anyone look at that history and feel we are anything but free! I didn’t realise I was born into slavery but whichever way you look at it, we are slaves. If you find that palatable, that’s ok, but what about those who find it abhorrent? I don’t want to kill anyone and I think I should have the right to make that decision, but by being a member of a group or society that wages war, I am tacitly approving that action! I won’t do that and if I am made to, I am a slave. Having been told a lot of my arguments are “simplistic” I have decided to work everything back to “simplicity”! Most things really are quite simple they have just been obfuscated by the wordsmithery of politics. “Sorry India, we are skint, we cannot give you any money”! Simple.
Over the last few decades America has spent 5.3 trillion on defence weaponry and other war tools, think about that number. One trillion dollars today would allow you to buy Coca Cola, Apple, IBM, Bank of America, Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Motorola, AT&T, as well as Exxon Mobil and STILL have enough left over to live comfortably on just the interest from the billions left over– not to mention the profits these companies generate. And yet ……………………………….sorry if you think I am a dreamer but that just doesn’t make sense. I refuse to even try and get my head around senseless things. Apparently it was necessary to keep America free? Hmmm, today America is 1.4 trillion in debt! Call that freedom?
So anyway, here is what will happen one day soon:
Everything you thought you knew will be proved false. Everything you thought you owned will be taken or rendered worthless. One day you WILL be a controlled unit of economic collateral (probably are already) you will NOT have any say in how you live (effectively don’t now) Mr Camping will die an earthly death and I reserve the right to amend these predictions if I bloody well choose to.
