Re: Clif High WEBBOT : Global Coastal Event
So what's 'good' and what's 'bad' is determined by your own fear of death? Or as little as maintaining a lifestyle?
Gosh, I just got that new SUV, I'd hate to lose it in a flood. A global coastal event would ruin my holiday plans.
Losing phone reception is a 'disaster' for most of the western world. The garbage disposal is jammed.
You want a 'new' humanity. How 'new' are you willing for that to be yourself? Who ARE you really? Vulnerable to death and disaster?
Or invulnerable. Wouldn't you like to find that out?
How willing are you to participate wholly and truly in whatever needs to occur? What would you do? How would you behave?
What are you most afraid of?
That's largely the history of man and the 'effects' that we live in, man shaking his fist at God and declaring 'I want it thus!'
I want a bridge there, and I'm gonna dam up that river to run my appliances.
And then you get what you want. More of nothing. More of the same. More of the old. A better version of old. More convenient.
No, you really want it the way it needs to be for the maximal good of absolutely everything involved, in space/time and out.
Whether you know it or you like it, or not. Keep your 'intention' there.
How much do you regret the the things in your life that you regarded as 'mistakes' or 'accidents', seemingly preventable, or not,
but that changed you so deeply and fundamentally, that you seemed to have been reborn from the experience?
Don't undervalue catharsis, on any scale. Let the earth do what she needs to do to cleanse herself. Our best efforts,
no matter how well 'intentioned', are directed and driven by our own desire to avoid confrontation. That's how the ego functions.
If you think you've usurped your own ego, well then you can discover a bit about that in the way you view the prospect of hardship.
You won't stop the earth from changing. It has to change. Whether that's relatively gently and minimal, or cathartically, isn't your business.
Finding and staying centered, and true, and willing, and helpful, is your business. That's the only use you have for this planet.
To learn those simple little personal things. That's not so much. You should be able to handle that.
