Way late this yellow morning. The Oregon skies are full of smoke; dry, hot, August fires raging in mountains east and west, smoking the village.
I am intrigued by the character of the life cycles of Earth, and as human beings, we too are subject to cyclic rhythms—will I return after death like a tree? Do I want to live again, or should I decline the offer?
Is life here for me to enjoy or to endure?
If I choose enjoyment I begin to better understand the meaning of the ‘Mob’s’ guidance.
This seems to be more about what one is doing at various stages of one’s biography (lifecycle). It’s about one’s inner character, outer circumstances, it’s about one’s karmic timing.
There’s an inner urging within Life itself that drives our choices, and it is met with our genetic attitudes.
David Jackson
It might be the reason we have antipathy for suicide—it contradicts this spiritual force that is the source of Life’s urgings.
There are times when death is a merciful act, but, why do I feel this while living in the luxury and comfort of the present?
One answer is the physical struggles of aging, and the assets from consciousness development—experience, knowledge and awareness. This is not an awakening by everyone, however. Many know that at the core of it all it is about struggle, disappointment, frustration and pain. Does this subconscious awareness perhaps shape human evolution to develop insensitivity and denial?
It is a kind of nightmare of motive that underlies the character of success about the ‘Ego-Me’, where the success of ‘us’ shares a collective release from the details of life’s daily struggles . . . electricity and elections. Both relieving us from raw living within its darkness, and choosing instead the monster of self-indulgent success as our guide.
Are we not Twisting the circle of living and dying into illusions and delusions of belief, relief and gratification?
This may well be the answer to the foundation of the decline and extinction of our kind.
