The Great Transformation Where are You going? You might imagine the 1950’s. A white-picket-fence kind of living. Where the roles and the expectations of (pretty much) everyone was identical. Where you had well-defined examples of “how to fit in” with the culture. It reminds me of the notion of a religious template. A template of “God’s expectations.” If you could train yourself to live a “righteous life,” then God would find favor with you and grant you access to heaven. To imagine a “perfect” world where how we are to behave was so well-defined. But a static unchanging idea of living is perhaps the truest definition of blasphemy there is. There was immense folly in such static notions of life. In the 1950’s, as a young boy (no, I am not THAT old) you were expected to suck it up. To not show emotions. If you fell and scraped your…

My mama (never) told me … What we don’t know might … … my unknowing mind knows so much more than my knowing mind. In other words, we have much more to learn than we know right now. Both individually and collectively. When we are raised in a culture, we are literally programmed by that culture. We are a “blank page” when we are born. As far as what we believe.

Is there a way where you could relax, and know that you are on the right path? What will “save” you? All of our Saviors suck … at actually saving us. It is quite evident that all of the saviors, from all of our religions, from all the different cultures of the world, have “failed” to save us. Most of our “traditional religious” saviors are from thousands of years ago in our collective past. And yet, the free will of our human demeanor built out a nuclear arsenal, in the 1950’s, that could have ended all life on the planet. I don’t know about you, but there is no sense of safety with such destructive intentions creating at will. The…
