And Closer We Get to Ascension

So a major review of the western banking system, and the relationships of the governments of the US and the UK in particular to it, has this week been completed. And the result is: a damp squib.

More of the same.

Business as usual.

And even better, for the corrupt in place. For they have now established that they can get away with the likes of creating a major crisis in the economic system, for personal gain, and they can blackmail governments to use 'their' money - ie, the taxpayers' money, to bail them out, and then give themselves bonuses with this largesse, and loan some of it back to its original owners, with interest. Or not loan it, as they see fit; in order to build up their reserves, so that they can engage in the sort of fancy 'financial products' shenanigans that got them in trouble in the first place. And left the taxpayers holding the bag.

Oh, but now they need to hold 'over three times what they used to!' in reserves, to cover possible contingencies? Right. From 2% to 7%.

And over a comfortable period of time at that...

I don't know about you, but I am reminded of Br'er Rabbit and the briar patch. And, of course, no wonder the stock market jumped at the news.

Of a slap on the wrist.

And a slap in the face of the public.

The long-suffering public.

Who don't have to suffer long much longer.

Because change is afoot.

Brought about by just such 'internal contradictions' as this response by the capitalist system to the Crisis it created.

Whereby the people are mad as hell, and are not going to take it any longer.

As well they should be; and nor should they have to.

Because there's something new under the sun.

Brought about by the civilizational process, and a level of technology that can now help humanity live at a higher level than it has heretofore.

And thereby now do away with the 'likes' of war.

As I wrote recently in a comment on a blog talking about the ineffectual (or worse: intentional) response of Barack Obama to the economic problem in the US - where his attempts to deal with the matter will just exacerbate it:

"Well spotted and commented on, Delores.+ But let's step back a little further, and look at the even larger picture here.

* The Right was getting too extreme, heading for unbridled corporatism, aka fascism. (Surveillance, loss of civil rights in general, etc.) On a global scale, now. (Hence, something new under the sun.)

* The Left saw its opportunity, and denounced that 'change' as bad. Which it was. And charismatic Obama pounded it home, offering a better 'change'.

* But in actuality, he was just offering the same change only from the Left. Aka totalitarianism.++

* Through this whole dialectical process, of thesis-antithesis, the missing piece is 'up' - ie, spirituality (in a word). The process itself is just on a materialistic level: Who's in control. But the outcome can be a synthesis, of the best features of each 'camp': the development of a community spirit from the left, caring for 'the commons', and the importance of the individual from the right, and his/her free will.

I see this whole process leading to a major Opportunity for breakthrough, on to a new level of civilization on the planet, where we do away with money - ie, the motivation of personal aggrandizement - and give to each other of our best, in goods and serves and ingenuity, out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning.

Ah. But that would require us to realize fully, and accept fully, that we are, first and foremost, 'spiritual beings having a human experience'?

Well; yes. But that's where we're at.

The civilizational process has got us here.

It's time to recognize it. 'It': the fact that neither the 'left' nor the 'right' has the complete answer. The answer is to transcend the level of the dichotomy, moving to a higher level.

There, we can meet.

And only there.

To say: We've run out of wriggle room, as it were, in exploring the further limits of free will.

It's time to recognize the Truth of our situation.

And act accordingly.

And then: Watch us fly.

Together.

As One.

And give thanks in doing so.

And thus endeth the lesson.

The lesson, of separation.

Seeming, separation."


And in this context, I note, with respect, the quote that Daniel Pinchbeck puts at the beginning of his important book '2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl':+++

'Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophecy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.' 1 Corinthians 13:8

He dedicated his book: 'For my daughter.'

I dedicate this blog to all those who have ears to hear.

+ The person, one Delores Smith, had posted a comment - on a blog by one Bobby Eberle, titled 'Obama's Titanic About to Hit Iceberg' (GOPUSA Eagle 9 September) - pointing out how Obama's strategy fit precisely the model recommended by a couple of his Columbia University professors (known as the Cloward-Piven strategy) to overload the system so that it would collapse, and allow a socialist takeover. Thus their support for mass agitation by groups like ACORN for welfare handouts, and for policies like forcing the loaning of 'government' mortgage money to people who would not be able to keep up their payments. Anything to bring things to a head. Which has now happened. And in more ways than one...
