You are all now 'Strangers in strange land"

[Ichingcarpenter]

Because the nation you grew up with is no longer there.
The fantasy is still there with some but the reality
is a dystopia that is painful to realize.

You already know who owns what and how much they own
to control thought.

Water, plants and life are now sacred
In ways you never understood before.
But now

THEY PUT A PRICE ON IT.

But I guess that is part of your evolution and development
as humans.

You know something is wrong, but you don't know what ist is
Mr. Jones.

I really think......... America needs to grow out of


false promises and false profits let alone false Prophets




Stranger in a strange land

We need to become a WORLD CONSCIOUSNESS. and
get

REAL


sorry for the rant

but looking at the states now
from afar
is painful

and the BFEE took over the operation.

4. You live your life even though you see the corruption

and hypocrisy. We have no choice.

There is a change happening, maybe not in the states,
but on the planet there is.

That's the only hope I can give you.

The USA is not the totality of 'your' existence.
Once you understand that and become a citizen of the Earth

then change might happen.

2. GiggaGrok, fer sure.

Grokage has been attained.

Leon Russell, Stranger in a strange land. I realize this is hardly what you had in mind but have a listen anyway.

My children don't feel Danes or Americans

6. Recall that Michael has his epiphany at the zoo..

When he watches a big monkey beat up on a smaller monkey and take his banana, whereupon the smaller monkey goes and beats up on an ever smaller monkey and takes *his* banana..

That was when Micheal learned to laugh, when he really understood humans.

10. For me, this started in the 80's, and has gotten progressively worse over time.

I don't even recognize this country anymore. :(

11. I attain toward being the fair witness. nt

[blogslut]

15. That is totally a job I wish existed

I love the idea of the Fair Witness.

[Curmudgeoness]

17. I think of this all the time. And try to do it as much as I can.

"Is the house white?" "The front of it is, since I see that, but I cannot say whether the back is white."

This is helpful when looking at statistics, people's character, etc. Too bad it is an impossible task.

[mmonk]

18. Yes we are. I often wonder why others do not recognize they are too.

19. Thou Art God

Republicans do not grok anything.

The snake is optional.
