On Mixed Messages

Two things happened today that although completely separate from one another have an interesting - to me at least - commonality about them.  The first involves a ‘theme’ that I came across on the Internet this early afternoon.  And the second involves the family dog, and something that happened when I went to take him out on my, and his, mid-afternoon walk.  First things first.

Because of the cv pandemic, Pres. Trump has chosen to initiate something called a Stimulus Package, whereby both banks and businesses are to be funded, under emergency powers of the federal government, to help them get back on their feet; and individual citizens were to be similarly supported, with a monthly check for adults and a lesser amount each for their number of children.  Although, mixed messages have been put out regarding this latter aspect of the Package, i.e., the checks to individual citizens.  On the one hand, the initial ‘fine print’ to the deal was that it would only be for those citizens who file a Tax Return, and thus rules out the likes of Seniors.  But, presumably due to heated feedback, that initial criterion has apparently been overruled, and the Package will apply to all U.S. citizens, irrespective of income.  And then the ‘word’ got out that that that aspect of the Package would be delayed.  Now, that could be for a number of different reasons.  One of which is that the notion itself could have proven to have been too ambitious, and such an expenditure could do major harm to the economy, in fostering inflation (as if the Package to the banks and businesses wouldn’t be enough to do so on its own), and so would be quietly reneged on.  Hopefully, from the government's perspective.  Or another scenario could well be working here.  Which has to do with what is called a Universal Basic Income (UBI).

That notion has to do primarily with what technology is doing to the world’s (basic) economic system, as regards Automation: that is, the need for ‘the world’ to look at the idea of separating the notion of ‘income’ from work done for it.  Which could end up being a rather bad thing.  Or a rather good one.  Depending on how people took to looking at the whole matter.  Which brings me to my second point, regarding a ‘commonality’ with this issue.(1)

That occurred when I went to the drawer in the kitchen to show the family dog its leash - which he normally accepts, after giving it a sniff, and a wag of his tail and whole behind in anticipation of the treat of going outside and experiencing all those lovely smells that he spends much time getting off on when we normally take our mutual walk. and out we go.  But today, he balked.  Wouldn’t come all the way over to me to have it fastened on him.  Sat there, waiting.  No matter what urging I gave him - signed to him, to come closer, in a cajoling tone, he wouldn’t budge.  And then, as if to emphasize the point, he went a short distance away, and sat, looking at me.  As if waiting.  For what??

Ah.  And now I get to The Point.

Recently he did that balking business - wouldn’t come within range of my fastening his leash on him - and the lady of the house, having been nearby this interaction, and wanting to help move it along to fruition, got him to come closer by offering him a - known - treat out of the same drawer, whereupon I was able to fasten on his leash, and away we went.  And this time, on my (solitary) walk, I thought:

Aha.

This is a very smart dog.  (He is a mix, of poodle and havanese.)  The family has taught him a number of tricks - Sit; Lie down; Roll over; Dance - by giving him said treat at the end of the short session.   

I felt that we had confused him.  With our mixed signals.(2)

And what could happen with giving everybody a Universal Basic Income?? 

People, because of our ‘normal’ economic system, have 'learned' to do things for the treat  - the money out of the transaction.   And if we are suddenly given the (or a) treat without having to do the trick for it - ???…

I think that this is why socialism fails, and so horribly, whenever it is practiced.  We have become conditioned to doing things ’for the money’.  For the treat.  Not for the sake of doing them.  For the quality of life in the society.  

As I explained to the lady of the house, when I shared some of these thoughts with her upon my return, and she was handily in the kitchen preparing the family’s dinner (because that’s what she does): At the spiritual community in the north of Scotland where I spent the better part of my adult life, we didn’t do things ‘for the money’.  We did them for the service involved.  Service, to the community, because it was being of service to the planet, in helping raise consciousness for a better society on the Earth, in and by the sense and idea of Personal and Planetary Transformation: That is, that the world will change when we change.  And that we shouldn’t be doing things just ‘for the money’.  

That the point of life is not to make money.  The point of life is to discover the point of life.  And act accordingly.(3)
   

The, er, bottom line:    

If we don’t get our priorities right, the notion of a UBI will come a cropper.

If we wake up to our true natures:

The sky is no longer the limit.

P.S. And speaking of money, and the point of life; my response to an article today at Western Journal News which reported on success against the coronavirus with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin (‘Medical Expert Sees ‘Beginning of the End’ in Coronavirus Fight with New Treatment Results’ - Randy DeSoto - April 2):

PurpleFish - April 2

I am not happy that the reports about this cocktail are not mentioning that its early reports pointed out that the successful combination includes zinc sulfate.  (Zinc helps to keep viruses from replicating; hence its use against the common cold family of viruses as well.)  I can only imagine that Big Pharma has slipped its big boot in here, and made sure that the only mention of such a cocktail has to do with its products.  Can't have people becoming aware that another name for Big Pharma is the symptom-suppressing industry.

And while ‘PurpleFish’ is at it; this, to Western Journal article ‘Rush Warns We’re Going To Destroy America: ‘I Have an Overriding Sense of Foreboding’ - Ben Marquis - April 1 (carried over by Liberty Alliance to April 2):

PurpleFish - April 2

“The tipoff regarding what this is all about: Democrat mayors and other Democrat-controlled areas are outlawing the likes of two people playing tennis, even one person shooting hoops in public, or fishing, jogging, hiking...this is about power, pure and simple.  Our modern-day Bolsheviks trying to condition us to life under their control.  Their obsession: Power Over Others.  Or POO for short.

I hope I haven't sent any mixed messages about where I come from.  Yes, I criticize such capitalist players as Big Pharma.  But I in no way support the NWO crowd.  Of communists.

And especially not of satanists.


This is a Final Battle.  And I am on the side of Right.  To say, of

Truth.

Which we will be living our lives by.  

Soon.

Very soon.

For, it is The Way of the future

on this particular planet.

And in conjunction - in, er, commonality - with its

Ascension.

   Look it all up.  Because, if you don't know about it all, you are about to be rather surprised.   

(2) Subsequently, when talking with the lady of the house at the end of my - solitary - walk (at the end of which the dog was jumpingly glad to see me back in the house, and perhaps even hoping that I would still take him out for his), I found that she or they do not ‘normally’ entice him that way, that he normally takes to the leash fine.  But I also recalled that the evening before, one of the members of the house had had him go through his routine - for the treat.  And perhaps; just perhaps……

   As I say: He’s a smart dog.

   And perhaps we two-legged mammals need to pay more attention to that sort of thing, in our interactions with our pets.

(3) I shared with my hostess in this family setting some words, and their notions, that I have found useful and insightful in life.  The first: that ‘We are spiritual beings having a human experience.’  (That’s from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a French priest and both paleontologist and geologist.)  And the second, a quote from Gandhi: that ‘We don’t live in order to eat and sleep. We eat and sleep in order to live.’   That life is about more than - oh, say - making money.
