What I do see, however, is that there might actually be two (or more) different species of humans on the planet right now.
Hello Della, good to see you drop in.
yes i have entertained the same feelings myself.
i could even jump to saying it obvious, except that it has probably always been so. anyway, it is a view i do share, and in this time, its consequences are perhaps more relevant.
your comment about die-back. We had that here with the gum trees in our region - wiped out a lot of trees - esp those that were exposed. No one ever really found the cause, despite many bright suggestions. That may well be the case with humans.
unfortunately, what i see is that the fractured ones are still pumping the steam on a ship headed for the falls, and the healthy ones are on the same ship.
This could result in a very frightening scenario. Many of us are contemplating the same - looking around, for some place of survival. In The Guardian, George Monbiot is talking about a book called The Road by Cormac McCathy. Survival in a world without its biosphere - I suspect we will see many more of these books and films soon.
Tasmania looks good.
This fracturing you speak of - I have also been observing it in the younger online or wired generation. But also in the older generation, as I have been in retirement home hostels of late, as Julie's mother has just moved into one, and it is obvious to see one or two among them, who are alive, while the rest are completely out of it. Age and illness has not that much to do with this.
First, I sense we become short-sighted by the practice of using Death - essential as it is, it makes us impatient, and telescoping 'seeing' into too short a time span.
Survival, is more than physical.
Second, I also sense, that a battle is growing between these sub-species. For too long the healthy species have been passive in the world, consenting to play only a technical role - ie making sure the details work where they can manage it. But in times of emergency, they are often seen to come forth and act.
This emergency is unprecedented, and I see many are restless, and seeking ways to act in their own field. The Red people are awaking to redress their own failure of so long ago.
All I can do is to focus on my own field, yet how far does that really extend?
we are building a time ship - a vehicle that can span time. we are not the first or the only ones, but the task draws in the will of many to seek the deepest of truths, and creates a vibrancy, beyond the powers of the individuals. I walk around during the day, and feel myself fed by this vibrancy. But it is of such a unique quality that it can only live on the continued efforts of the individuals to 'go beyond their boarders'. As soon as they cease to push into their perimeters, and settle back to chew on old self-reflections, they sabotage the time ship, and all can feel it. this is about the birth of a planet.
