View Full Version : Truth of the Three little pigs

I am posting this as I awoke a half hour ago and this thought process occurred:

Who is the big bad wolf?

The egotistical Oppressor

What was left? The brick house with three pigs in it.

What happened?

The first pig was attacked and ran to the pig in the sticks (house of sticks) who was attacked and they ran to their sibling in the wisely built brick house.

My mind then went into the symbolism of that, and while others may have discussed this in folk tales and their meaning, this was just my digging this morning. The pigs were family. Well maybe, but maybe they were just humanity.

This pig in the straw house is the poorest and did the best he could with what he thought he could and was the first one attacked by the wolf, alas the easiest target. Then this pig went to the middle class pig who lived in the stick house, a little stronger and he had done his best with what he thought he could, but it was not enough. They ran to the wealthy pig who had the best house. What would have happened to the wealthy pig had he said "no" to letting the other two in his house?

Likely the wolf would have eaten the two pigs and waited out the the one in the house who may or may not ultimately succumb to the wolf.

But, had the wolf gone away and the other pig was left to be, what would he have? The wealthy gain their wealth by optioning the poor and middle classes time and talent to have them work for their business and buy their goods and services. I guarantee you that Soros is not waking up this morning and wondering which Kia he wants to buy to get himself to work and his kids to school. If the wealthy do not step in then doom is upon the pigs, all of them.

There is no judgment of the pigs straw house or stick house in the story. They did what they could, and lived their lives happily until the oppressor came to take it away. I of course think lots of things are represented by the wolf. Government in tyranny, the IRS, Negative entities, Lucifer... you can drag this out to lots of areas. The poor in spiritual knowledge run to the more slightly aware, who are smart enough to run to someone who has a firm foundation.

The ones with the firm foundation do not judge but say, come on in, be warm and happy of heart. They are one family.

My hope is that my mental meanderings this morning will encourage each of us to judge no one. Not the poor, middle or upper class. We are each where we are and it is what we do with it and our being one that really matters.

In the physical realm, if you are wealthy be sure to remember how wealth is created. You sell stuff to people, and others work for you, and help build your wealth for you. If they are all gone who is left to work and buy, and ultimately who is left to fight? It takes funding to rise up against the wolf. The ones in straw and sticks can't do it alone, but they are willing to help and work together.

Namaste all

Very good post, and I was having fun with my thoughts as they arose.

First of all: given the context of numerous posts about individual enlightenment which I was reading earlier...
and which are all very well and good, but the question is "so what?"
what comes after enlightenment?

So here was my answer....and I find this lovely new thread.

this one paves the way for the next level:

all these enlightened souls discovering that there is an even bigger bad wolf still out there
than they ever dreamt of...(global extinction, nuclear threat, anarchy, whatever)
And the only protection left for the havenots now is the generosity of the haves.
(Just like the civil rights movement....which without whites giving a helping hand would have gone nowhere)

Anyway, equality exists only as an ideal and certainly not in 3D. (No two rice grains are alike, etc)

So with individual enlightenment one gets a ticket to the next floor up,
where the party is already in full swing and one only has to find the host.

The most important part is never letting go of your original individuality
or you get kicked out or shoved in the kitchen with the rest of the staff.

One thing about most rich pigs: they like sharing their mansions,
thats why they have 15 bedrooms and all with their own bathrooms...
the only thing they ask for is good manners and some gratitude...
problem solved

Now: what to do about that big bad wolf out there...
or maybe even a pack of them?

I think the powers have a dream

to live like kings and queens


in castles and in manors

in the homes of the free

from sea to shining sea

upon the land of the few


once shared by me and you

You are truly in tune, redeZra...
Thank you!!
this picture was on my wall in my room back home when I was a teenager, centuries ago, it seems.
A little girl with a princess complex...
It was one of my favorites from a whole group of similar ones,
the blue colour of the sky in particular
spoke to me and made me long to live in the tropics....
