I have some shit I gotta do, like rite now .
We KNOW that Civilization is capable of World Peace, the ANCIENT Pax Romana is PROOF . The First Thing that has ALWAYS-BEEN "The First Thing" is an IMMEDIATE Cessation of Fire . The smoke needs to clear, the dust settle , the wounded must be removed from the Battlefields, troops must be fed . Once Silence has been restored, Clarity and Reason can "approach" .
We can do This . We've done it before .
Tare forward .
Recall the "Pax Romana" TWO HUNDRED YEARS of Global Peace and Prosperity . History has taught us that Empires CAN BE EXQUISITELY BEAUTIFUL, there ARE several >Times< when Civilization has "responded to the demands of the times" with nothing short of BRILLIANT Agency, the Trade Transport not only of marketable items but LANGUAGES, Philosophies and Religions that were not only Tolerated but ACCEPTED . Here it is where the "OTHERS" were recognized as VALUABLE PARTNERS, that despite obvious Differences the Global Collective FLOURISHED because of what the OTHERS "Had" .
It is IMPERATIVE to try and Understand that the Pax Roman was the Future to those that existed in the "Before Times" . The Gag writes itself = We need to get "BACK TO THE FUTURE" . Who among us does NOT want Peace FOR TWO HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS ?
How were the Ancients able to >Conduct< the Political and Social Elements required to establish and maintain Global Harmony ? Good Question .
Recall what transpired after WW I : the WORLD saw the Conception and Inception of the "League of Nations" , a Political Body that promoted CIVILIZED Under and Over -'Takings'. that would Arbitrate the Differences of Member Nations . Evolution did this . Clearly, "IT" struggled and when Hitler came into view "IT" did NOTHING to check hitler---but the thing is this, the IDEA was PERFECT, what Failed was it's inherent INABILITIES, "IT" was never given the MUSCLE to do much more than TALK . Hello hiler, good morning WW II.
You may want to Believe that Evolution was thwarted, it was not . The World {{{once again}}} saw the Conception and Inception of another GLOBAL Body Politic, this time tagged, "The United Nations" and "IT" was considered a TRIUMPH for Humankind and Civilization itself . Know what ? Same shit happened . Despite the U.N.'s addition of Military Capabilities, "IT" Suffered from INERTIA , the INABILITY to to execute ACTUAL Enforcement, except for the Break-up and Re-alignment of Internal Europe . Recall Clinton's Efforts and how he and the United Nations worked together to Advance EVOLUTION'S Directive to make Internal Europe more Harmonious = = = the RE-Make of Nations in accordance with the Populations and THEIR Intimate Interests . Europe was RE-FORMED to better suit the NEEDS - WANTS - and Desires of "IT" 's Peoples . CLEARLY "The World was a Better Place" but did it LAST ?
Folks have underestimated Obama's FAILURE in Crimea, indeed, it is NOT just Obama but the WORLD that had FAILED to recognize putin's INVASION of Crimea . Had the WORLD viewed the Events in Crimea as WORLD THREATENING perhaps putin's Advance could have been checked in Crimea instead of Main-land Ukraine . Obama, NATO and the rest of the World had its [[[CHANCE]]] but did NOT Act, instead "IT" GAVE putin Crimea and with it the License to CONTINUE .
I Believe EVOLUTION is an "Entity" {so to speak}, an Intelligence, that Exists to constantly alter and modify existing "Structures" so that they can receive whatever the Future has in store . In this Case = Existing Structures REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE the impending GLOBAL DISASTER that IS Putin's War . Here it is where Evolution had to "Double Down" meaning, Evolution "Sent" ANOTHER ---> PUTIN <--- to the World's "Stage", >>>trump<<< so that the World would be forced to see the NEGATIVITY putin and trump had brandished and inflicted on helpless Innocents . I write >Negativity< instead of Evil because that is Academic protocol, but my HEART is different . Using Academic applications is far to clinical, to STERILE, to address TERROR and HORROR . >Evil> hits it clean .
It's clear [by now] that Iran is-gonna make trump "EAT HIS WORDS" and when I say >EAT< I mean 'EAT' to be code for,, |>"GO FUCK YOURSELF AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON" <| . Military analysist have informed us of Iran's Leadership Hierarchy, that, because it is constructed in the way it is, has MULTIPLE "Leaders" of different Militias that operate INDEPENDENTLY from Iran Religious High Command, which means they may be INDEPENDENTLY funded from perhaps Russia and China . There may be an Overall Strategy, developed over the years by Iran's Military Brains, ((I mean, they have Survived thus far)), that will NOT be "Bombed Into Submission", and these Militias make decisions onto themselves, which then effects Tactics and Execution . Trump and his ain't dealin' with just ONE /BIG\ Brain but Several . Military Analysts say they are hard-pressed to identify "WHO'S IN CHARGE" despite the fact that SOMEONE must be telling the Diplomatic Corps what to "Ask for" and what NOT to Accept . Trump has called the Iranians "SCUM" , a most certain "Projection" and Iranians have Proven that they are just as Despicable, Loathsome and VILE as trump [is] except, THEY are WAAAAAAAAAY fucking SMARTER .
2 words : YA JUST CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP !
During all the "brew-ha-ha" [ correctly spelled = brouhaha] around trump's birthday in which he transmogrified the NATION'S BIRTHDAY, there was not one mention of "The SPIRIT of 1776" . This >Spirit< was manifestation of the Patriotic Ideals and Revolutionary FERVOR that was deployed as Mental WEAPONRY to neutralize the British Rule over the Colonies, and to STRENGTHEN the Inner Resolve of ALL soon-to-be Americans . No mention, not even once .
There is Will and then there is Spirit . I contend BOTH are needed if we are to advance into the Future with steadfast assuredness . Zen Master Steve Winwood {of "Traffic" Fame} lyrics : "Spirit is something no one destroys", meaning, Spirit CANNOT be Destroyed . I Believe him. I Believe THAT .
Ya jus'-gotta laff* at "Revolutionary Fervor" because "IT" seems as if it is NON-Existent in the "Theater" of American Resistance . Instead of "IT" is a wild cacophony of protest, directed at trump and his, that falls waaaaay short of DIRECT political attenuation . In Street and Gutter terms we are "Spinning our tires, and gettin' nowhere fast" . This THIS must be changed to accommodate a REALISTIC Action that produces DIRECT RESULTS ~~~ here it is where Elections ARE the Neutralizing Factor that CAN Produce DESIRED Effects . Here's "The Deal" with That ---> INDIVIDUALS vote, when I say "It" 's up to US, I mean "IT" 's up to EACH ONE OF US .
We are quite familiar with "The Little Train That Could" and it's most famous line, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" and we can modernize that somewhat with sly and the Family Stone's = "We can make it IF WE TRY !!! I Believe the Little Engine That Could, and I BELIEVE Sly and his Family .
Consider ... .
I believe that We as INDIVIDUALS can succeed if we are able to summon Bravery and Courage to be used in dressed Combat, against the Forces of Ignorance, Stupidity, and Injustice . Exactly HOW are we to 'summon' Bravery and Courage ? I submit what follows : (.)
61. Chung Fu / Inner Truth
"The force of inner truth depends chiefly on inner stability and preparedness . From this state of mind springs the correct attitude toward the outer world . But if a man should try to cultivate secret relationships of a special sort, it would deprive him of his inner independence . The more reliance he places on the support of others, the more uneasy and anxious he will become as to whether or not these secret ties are really tenable. In this way, the inner peace and the force of inner truth are lost ."
It is necessary to "see" "Inner Truth" as Inner STRENGTH . "Stability" is to be perceived as the "Belief in one's self" , the Mental Condition of Confidence and that of Resolve aka Determination . Elsewhere I have expressed [Human] Will as "A Force of Nature" and declared that this Force is Universal, that is, within the Scope and Measure of Each and Every Individual . We ALL 'have' it , we would not be Human if "IT" were absent .
Devoted Buddhists insist on this ---> "We are all Buddhas" and Christianity adds, "The Spirit of GOD lies within us" . All we must do is BELIEVE and when Belief is short in coming, we turn to AA and IT'S Profound Wisdom : "Fake it until you make it." We can translate fake to be >pretend< and also "Make Believe" . I love this .
