Who Are We and Why Are We Here?
At some point in our lives, we have all wondered about our purpose. We may have searched for fulfillment and understanding from our parents, family, relationships, sex, schools, employment or careers, entertainment, religions, governments and spiritual groups. The inability to find an adequate outlet has led many down self-destructive paths that are holding their lives hostage. There’s no way out. Stuck in pre-defined worlds that redirect our desires and drives, similar to the lions in the movie Born Free. We have become enigmas to ourselves. And it is only a matter of time before this truth is discovered and everything comes tumbling down around us. The excessive drug and alcohol consumption, emotional, social and mental disorders and a series of unproductive and self annihilating relationships. But even so, we may be no closer to realizing or mastering our various roles on this planet. Self for many of us has become an enigma. And life is a riddle that we cannot figure out.
The years between 2006 and 2030 will be a critical time of transition for humanity. How we currently perceive ourselves is going to be dramatically altered. This is mainly due to the inability to rely on the current institutional structures to define, organize, regulate and secure our participation in life. Navigating through this phase of global reorganization will require the development of savvy survival skills. This is not the first time nor the last time the human mind in it’s attempt to unite itself has organized human migration and participation on the globe. It does so in 1,000, 500, 250, 124, 62, 20, and 2.5 year cycles. Each person is a cell within the collective body of humanity, a very large organism that is seeking to dominate the planet as it’s host. The organism goes through stages of shedding various layers of skin, reformulating the appearance of itself, and the basic usage and accessibility of the organic part of itself. We perceive this movement as the future because it’s consciously unknown to us; but it forces us unconsciously to participate none the less. And herein lies most of the issues that are taking place within humanity.
This blog will be my attempt to assist you in how you have been regulated and structured to participate within the collective body. I will also be discussing time and the various cycles of how we as organic matter have been reorganized to experience ourselves and the different principles the collective mind uses to promote how we perceive security and personal relevance.
I would like this to be interactive. As a cell within the collective body, I think that all people should know what system within this body they represent. For an example, some people may be the kidney; some cells may represent the shape of the kidney and some represent the functionality of the kidney. Some of us are here to promote the health and maintenance of the current structure. Some represents the inability of previous structures to organize. Some represent the world that the collective mind is advancing. Some people are going to represent waste filters to clean up and purify the various emotional, social, and institutional environments. And some people will represent the force that is eradicating the past. And then there are those who must bridge these various realities.
