Hamlet and This Civilizational Collapse

‘There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy’

Forward: 

I have written many essays over the past month or so since we all entered political whiplash mode - and all are in the trash heap. 

Not that they are not each revealing as they address these topics - they are. 

But since I  see every instance of this political whiplash as connected in an overarching way - it becomes an exercise in futility to keep laboriously explaining each event as if each were isolated. 

For the seemingly unconnected events of the Biden-Harris switch around - the “palace coup” - and the subsequent Trump assassination attempt, and the time the world’s premier internet security firm - CrownSource - crashed the world’s internet -  and the final crash of a civilization to violence in Britain - and the same final crash becoming evident across the world in almost all or all nation states -  are all connected. 

And as the world has fallen into increasing disrepair and dissolution over these past four years every single example is linked to one central thesis. 

It is more than clear that we fall now to totalitarianism - no need to keep proving this. 

And furthermore I must come to the unpopular conviction that all of our civilizations have fallen to totalitarianism.

And the big question on everyone’s mind - is what the hell are we going to do about this? 

The world and those of us who dare to try to explain it to ourselves may come up with a few practical solutions - but since all of us have been driven to virtual panic by now - it is a bit late for these practicalities. 

By the time our civilization falls to panic - and this time as it is the big Kahuna- planetary civilization collapse - it is late in the day for practicalities. 

By the time we arrive at panic it is too late to approach things from the standpoint of practical.

But the inescapable point is that we have arrived - as I predicted four years ago - at the final point of free fall as the economic, social, political and religious facets of our culture all crumble at once. 

After all the only reason I am able to write this and you are able to read it is that for whatever blessed reasons you and yours have not yet arrived at complete panic. 

And I heartily hope that by some sleight of hand that all of us here may avoid that catastrophic end of utter panic. 

So I am going to cut to the proverbial chase in ways I would not normally do. 

REPEATED COLLAPSE OF CIVILIZATION DUE TO TYRANNY OF THE SYSTEM

As a few of you know I have already explained the abundant evidence that it is the organizing principles of our civilizations - the concepts and ideas and foundations of them which are at fault - the ultimate smoking gun of this endless cyclical fall of civilization. 

And because as some of you already know - this is the fall of our planetary civilization - I am not going to belabor the point. 

The fault lies not in our stars but in our philosophy. 

The real take home point is that it is not we as human beings -  this biological entity created by a creator or by a creational intelligence - which are at fault. 

But neither is the fault - as Shakespeare reminded us - in our stars.

The fault does lie with us - just in such a way that we are hardly predisposed to either accept or change it.

For when we have been born - and when those who came before us - were born into a particular system - this is all we know and understand. 

The problem here is that it is not so much the particulars of this deep state or so called advanced modern civilization which are to blame - but the particulars of all of our civilizations we have built since we lived as hunter gatherers in small groups more than several thousand years ago. 

About now the reader is exclaiming - oh, is that all? 

Like what the hell are we supposed to do to correct that? 

And the question I ask - is, if we are even capable of imagining and then building a civilization which is not built on these sands we now sink in? 

And my answer is that of course we can - but to accomplish this we must change both as individuals and as a societal whole. 

And being caught in these flood tides of civilization collapse how do we accomplish this? 

The answer is of course - not easily. 

The thing we must fundamentally recognize is that the reason this civilization falls to totalitarianism is that all or nearly all civilizations eventually fell to this. 

There is a camouflaged totalitarian system at the heart of all of our former now fallen civilizations. 

This is not an Eastern or Western thing - or a South or North thing - for plentiful examples of civilizations which have fallen to tyranny can be found in all geographical regions. 

And it is not based on environmental factors - just because the weakness of these civilizations are all too susceptible to failing as a result of climatic factors - does not mean climate is the cause. 

After all humanity survived and continued to thrive and evolve throughout the millennia of the ice ages. 

A great part of our evolution as a species took place across the broad sweep of the last ice age. 

This happened because the stresses of the ice age actually increased the amount of evolutionary adaptations necessary for us to make in order to drive us to innovate and survive. 

It is our natural tendency to relate in an interdependent way to innovate and survive that drove our evolution as this big brained and spiritually aware species.

The natural world has no energy to waste on favoring evolutionary strategies and adaptations which do not work to favor survival. 

In the natural world - the environment - and our own evolutionary adaptations - work in a synergistic manner to allow biological evolution to take place. 

But we have stepped way outside of the given circumstances and reality of the natural world at this point.

In our all too human tendencies to create and innovate we made a fateful error. 

We began to believe we could extract ourselves from the given limitations of and dangers of this natural world by fashioning super organized agricultural civilizations which would shield us. 

The unwelcome knowledge that they have not shielded us from our own human characteristics and limitations is a difficult one to face and incorporate into our awareness. 

But it is the very things which we try to change - the basic rhythms of life in the things we care most about - where it counts in the family - and in how that family is served by what we do as communities and so forth - where the problem lies. 

The meaning of understanding these unalienable rights we all have as conferred by the creator - or by the creative intelligence - is an essential understanding for this. 

And yes our founding ancestors in America were in touch enough to write beautifully about these in the Declaration of Independence. 

But they - like we today - tried to comprehend these unalienable rights and what the existence of these really means in the context of our civilized selves - and failed miserably. 

This civilization Is in free fall and we with it - doomed to repeat the same cycle in perpetuity.

And we don’t need to be geniuses to see that repeating the same bad actions and getting the same bad results is the very definition of insanity.

It is in the spiritual engagement we have naturally - if we can but see it - with the natural world and by using our unalienable rights to interact with the limitations of that prevailing system - which have made us human and which give us the foundations necessary for survival. 

We must break with the useless hope we carry forward from generation to generation that some leader or another or some political adjustments will save us all. 

Although by making some of these adjustments we may buy ourselves some time - they are not ever long term solutions. 

Eventually more sane leaders get replaced by more totalitarian ones and in an unending cycle the very totalitarianism which arises than causes the civilization to destabilize and fail. 

This is simply evident if we look at our history - free of blinders. 

And if we look at the “advancements” offered by our civilizations we can clearly see that they represent not progress but the advancement of opportunities for totalitarianism. 

So the question remains  - whether or not we will openly face the necessity for change - personal and socially - using the methods given by our very human nature - or whether we will continue to force the confines and limitations of our very human nature through the lens of these dominance hierarchies we know as the  agricultural civilization.

We simply cannot support the kind of teetering house of cards we have built. 

For in the end - we are either these perpetually depressed and mentally unbalanced Hamlets or we will see this over arching firmament - this piece of work that is man - for what we are. 

“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy”

And in the final analysis we either accept the perpetual collapse exemplified by the codependency of Hamlet’s family and society or we reject this on principle and go forward. 

We must turn away from the ugliness and from the tyrannical form or power and ourselves become the beautiful!

But solving this will necessitate the recognition of lies we are willing to tell both ourselves and others - lies which build upon lies - until we spin out of control as a species - aided by civilization. 

Truth is reached through spiritual experience and engagement in which we see irrevocably that we are all one - and that every decision we make must be based on this heady recognition. 

The saying that we must treat others as we wish to be treated ourselves must become the real organization principle. 

Being nonviolent is a choice - but then so is being violent. 

In the final analysis we as humans are simply and irrevocably precisely what the creator created - nothing less - and nothing more. 

Take care of yourselves and each other everyone - and reach deep spiritually and emotionally as we negotiate these very rough times. 

We are each precisely and clearly exactly what we need to be.

We each are the physical equivalent of the universe knowing itself and in this -  equivalent to and not separate from - the fellowship of all life and the cosmos. 

We already are the synchronicity - the reflection of the consciousness which formed us - the organizing principle on which our civilized polity and interdependence must be based. 

Through the paths of feeling and logic - the shamanic interaction with the world - we arrive at the place of being which is true and reliable and free of lies. 

The fear of change is to be avoided as we are each change itself - and this spiritual warfare we are experiencing a necessary return to the balance and harmony of perpetual change. 

We as humans are the singularity - the singularity will never exist in the trans humanist or transgender or robotic technological utopia we are now being sold.

Become the singularity and share it with everyone around you.

Be the change we wish to see in the world. 

Stop the lies and become the truth. 

That is the way forward. 

And any civilization based on this will be strong and flexible enough to allow us to adapt and transform to any circumstances nature will require. 

We are the ones we have been waiting for. 

Life adapts - is gentle and is kind. 

Care for each other. 

Push the boundaries and be truly daring and fearless in pursuit of this. 

But this will take time and patience as our very survival is everywhere threatened by our civilization. 

It took us a very long time to get so far away from our true nature and it is going to take time and wisdom to learn how to return to this. 

But at this point just about anything is an improvement on being willing to lie to ourselves. 

And we must keep in kind that although we make temporary concessions to being caught as we are presently in the system   - we must all the while keep our hearts and minds on the true nature of the real human singularity.

We are going to have to work hard to overcome the always seductive fiction that we do not need to fundamentally change to be the ones we wish to see - while we embody the changes we wish to see in the world. 

There will be many who will tell us that the keys to change lie within the system itself  - but we must keep in mind that not everyone can see yet see the character of the real fundamental transformation we must comprehend.

This time it really is up to us. 

Embrace change !

MAY OUR CREATOR BLESS THE PEACEMAKERS!!

We are going to find it necessary to manage both light and dark energy - as August is going to continue to demand that we transcend our abilities to find balance and harmony.

I recommend the work of one of the best writers on SubStack in reminding us how we might manage to find balance and harmony as we negotiate this time.

There is nothing at all wrong with seeking power - in fact we must do this as human beings - it is how we use the power and why where the difference lies.

Living in the World of Energy

We are energy - we are the vibrational living energy which is the universe’s way of knowing itself - and we need to find the locus of our own personal power in this world.

Find it and use it well!!
