There is no doubt that the planet that we all call home was abused by us. The last three hundred years saw us increase our productivity by "modernizing" our world. Yet, this came with a huge cost.
Our planet is suffering. Pollution is running wild. We have many cities around the world that suffer from 1970's style smog. The rivers and other waterways are full of toxic run-off. We turns parts of our oceans into waste areas for all our plastic bottles.
To be blunt, we are fucking this place up.
According to the belief of oneness, all is connected. Hence, our actions do not operate in a vacuum. Plus, the planet is a living breathing entity. It has the ability to respond just like we do.
It is my view the planet had enough. She is passed the point of tolerance and now is bitch-slapping us back. Of course, we humans are baffled by this. How could this be? We have deluded ourselves into believing there are no consequences for what we do.
I had a discussion with someone today and he is upset about the events taking place around the world. He is also worried about what is going on in the industry we work within. Quite simply, it is cooked; people just are not aware of it. Of course, this is not an isolated case since many industries are seeing the same thing.
The field I work is has paper as its main fuel. The devices I deal in eat paper. This puts us on par with the fossil fuel companies. We are on our way out. Anything that is so destructive to the planet is not going to see another decade as it is now. This particular industry started to decline 10 years ago. Each year we see a 5%-8% reduction in the paper used (YoY figures).
I laugh when I hear people in different industries talk about the future. People excel putting their heads in the sand. Even within the company I work for, few are aware of what is taking place. They have no explanation for a decline in sales. Ironically, I see this from people in other industries. Do they really think the transportation business is not going to be set upside down by autonomous technology? How can anyone who is in the oil business believe that it will keep seeing an expansion when electric vehicles and renewable placements are increasing at an exponential pace?
Personally, I am so excited to see this all happening. Powerful forces are in the air (literally) that are changing everything. The energy that the planet is being bombarded with is altering the vibration that we operate upon. Nikola Tesla was aware how important vibration was over 100 years ago. The world did not listen to him.
We still see a lot of fear in our society. This is natural since that is what our civilization is built around. It is also what allows the few to enslave the masses. People look at what is taking place and that instills even more fear.
Relax and enjoy it. We are seeing the destruction of what is ailing humanity and the planet. Those who are in power are losing it. This might be hard to believe today but it is true. The record companies did not know how badly they were about to be hit the day Napster was introduced. Yet it set off a chain of events which took those companies (that survived), more than a decade to overcome.
Anything that is centralized and operates on the basis of scarcity is cooked. At the same time, those industries that are destructive are going to learn very quickly how big a shift is taking place. Some companies are going to be run over by a technology such as blockchain while others will die the proverbial "death from a thousand paper cuts".
Is this all pie-in-the sky stuff? Not really. These shifts were forecast for thousands of years. On a daily basis, I am able to see the transformation in my reading of technological advancements. One of the main characteristics of this new Era is great technological advancement. That is why it is so difficult for those to try to pin a date of passing from one to the next. Was it the advent of the printing press? The first rocket into space? Computer? Internet? Something in the future?
For me, I do not get caught up in that. I do not fret about when Spring starts since I know it is a process. While the calendar says one thing, the weather could tell a different story. Anyone in the Northeastern part of the U.S. can attest that the transition was a process this year since the weather went back and forth a number of times in April and May.
Greed, fear, arrogance, and a lack of compassion are common traits. This is ending. Each day, people are becoming more aware of the impact of their words and actions. This is a wonderful thing. We are questioning what we do and the value of it. Every level of human life is open to exploration. Society does so many insane things that we really need to question how we are interacting in it. To follow blindly is only going to lead to further enslavement. We are incarcerating ourselves by our daily thoughts and actions.
Breaking away starts with the realization of what is going on. In my view, the first thing we need to do is to stop fearing what is happening. This needs to take place. @wwf writes a great deal about the violence of society and our participation in it. His writings go far beyond the physical aspect of things. How do we interact with institutions, customers, and others? Where are we supporting those entities that commit violent acts without even knowing we are doing that? I suggest everyone read his posts to gain a great deal more insight into this.
In closing, I just want to say relax. All is well. Each time you see something that is upsetting, know it is all part of what needs to happen. Those in control are hanging on for dear life. This is causing them to lash out. Perhaps for the first time in history, those that are enslaving humanity are scared. They realize what is taking place and they do not like it. There is nothing they can do about it other than to try and manipulate the masses into believing everything is the same. The truth is, we do not need them to protect us. To do so, is inviting the enemy into the house.
Just your presence on the STEEM blockchain means you are already breaking free from the chains that are binding.
And the planet appreciates this.
