Myths for a Modern Age - second story

Posted by Picasa

Industry and corporate greed has a face, so carefully hidden, that it is a sick secret, chronically denied by wealthy "corporate and political" gamesmanship. Have compassion here for those less fortunate - those people who are dragging us into extinction - those people who, at the expense of biodiverse health, spend their life weaving more and more denial into their complex lifestyles as their ego slowly eats up their spiritual credibility and worth.
Individual champions who work , often without realising it, to alert us to these issues and who have lived simple spiritually worthy lives are few and far between. ( I am not counting myself amongst these, so don't get too worked up - I am constantly working on my inner healing.) However, mostly, we follow blindly, falling prey to that human condition so well known to many Australians -
"she'll be right, mate".
Well, "SHE" is NOT right. "SHE" is very sick. The parallel of the collective earth to the individual
human health condition is astounding.
* We fill our lungs with toxic fumes just as we fill the earth "breath" with the same.

* We clothe ourselves with functionless adornments just as we adorn our society and lifestyles with functionless "stuff".

* Our inner organic systems of liver, heart, arteries and colons areas are as choked as our wetlands, habitats, waterways, and estuarine systems.

* Our skins and bones brittle, diseased and ill as are our soils, infrastructures and urban expansions.

* Our minds have become narrow, hollow and depressed just as our biodiversity has become thinned, weakened and sad.

* Our irrational minds, bent on extremities of lust, hate, greed, glory and imbalance are as extreme as the weather patterns that we greet each day. All the while our precious blue earth turns in space.
To echo the words of John Keel, "the universe does not exist as we think it exists, and we
don't exist as we think we exist"
Much of my life I have been gifted with visions. I have travelled beyond time, through the eons and watched many events and process, both past , present and future. I have been beckoned by both the "devil's" gifts of abundance and "God's" gifts of abundance,and know that love is the pathway, always through time, no matter how painful it may seem at the time, love is the only healing measure that works. Abundance - it comes from within and shines out.

Compassion comes from God and works through us. It is one of God's greatest gifts to us, if only we can unwrap this precious gift and share it with ALL. Remorse, self acceptance and the hard yards of love yield an eternity of bliss. Disdain, denial, the easier yards of hate driven anger and our ego's thoughtless actions yield an eternity of suffering and torment. Choice, through our free will, comes to us through our stories. The stories we play in our head, the stories we hear from each other.

Choice through LOVE and innocence, comes straight from God. The choice to adorn ourselves in the same clothing that our rich "emperor's wear, cut for them by those deceiving "taylors", is up to our free will. Our innocence, nurtured by love allows us to move beyond the idea of any choice and instead, walk hand in hand with God.

I have written a more in depth article (story) on these things at bluecray.org , so if you would like to keep reading and thinking about these modern stories and denials that we weave for ourselves, click HERE.

Bluesfest - East Coast Blues and Roots Music Festival 2009 - bluecray perception


The Byron Bay Bluesfest 2009 shall soon be in the Byron Shire area of the Mt Warning Caldera Region, NE NSW.

shop till you drop bop till you pop
the Bluesfest of Byron is near
the Belongil site's ready
and Tyagarah looks steady
to take on the bluesfest next year
so come drink your fill
load your notes in their till
and party the environment away
your conscience is yours till eternity's here
are your sure that you want it THAT WAY??????

The Byron Bay Bluesfest 2009 clearly illustrates that the  dichotomy of human rational, ignorance and self-gratuitous environmental belief systems is alive and well in Byron Bay, 2009. The Byron Bay Bluesfest has a long history within the Mt Warning Caldera Region and beyond.

And the slow subtle degradation of habitats and environmental health in the Byron Shire also has a long history.  Players in this field (Belongil Fields and beyond) can pat themselves on the back, preen their egos and shuffle their heads back into the sand. I just wonder how many cigarette butts, bottle tops and pieces of plastic they will find there, after the Byron Bay Bluesfest 2009 is gone and the animals that have survived the trauma of forced relocation come back to their homes to continue their lives.

I love music, I love the land, I love the animals and the human spirits that live in this beautiful Mt Warning Caldera Region.  I pray with all my might that some mass consciousness shift occurs at the Byron Bay Bluesfest at Belongil Fields (or is it tyagarah?) this year (2009), so that the coming years of Bluesfest "mania" (Tyagarah ?)become directly, immediately and thoroughly accountable to the authentic spiritual land guardians of the Mt Warning Caldera Region.

I say this, because it is clear to me that the Byron Shire is incapable of taking care of this beautiful part of the world - one only has to walk along the shoreline at Byron and through the parklands to see just how much plastic, rubbish, cigarette butts, bottle tops, batteries and god know's how much unseen waste and toxins have infiltrated the habitats that they proclaim to protect.

The Arakwal people are the historical custodians of the land in this area. Their land stewardship preserved a unique and diverse environmental heritage, much of which has now been swallowed up by inappropriate 19th, 20th and now 21st century development.  Today, more and more people have an increasing  impact on this area and region, and from what I can see, the heritage and rights for the native animals that live in the Habitats of the Byron Shire has been severely compromised.

Words like "precautionary principal", "environmental sustainability", "caring for country" and "global crisis" mean nothing, when the current dichotomy of human words and actions are let loose on the planet. Please don't let the "vision fade".
