I want to say so much about this! There’s so much going on in this piece that has been sloshing ‘round my soft tissue skull muscle for years upon years on end. There are some details to which I considered adding, but than decided if anyone is genuinely courageous enough to take up such a path, which by no means is easy nor certain of success (because in truth there is no “success,” just communion with It), but guaranteed by millennia’s worth of various commentary as worthy of such an undertaking, I figured it’s best for them/us to figure it out along the way. And to think, this is just the top of the tip of the iceberg; oh what ineffable delights await us when we dare explore the depths of our true Self.
Instead, what I consider as necessary commentary is how few claps have been provided for this piece compared to other posts, particularly in comparison to those that critique the system, or group, or individual. To no surprise on my part, those pieces are so much easier to cheer for. But pieces like this force people to stare into the mirror, to go deep into the desert, to fall down that rabbit hole. And that shit’s scary as fuck! It’s the most frightening thing anyone can do! Yet, it’s the most meaningful of journeys spoken to long ago, back from when consciousness first awoke, and in this day and age, next to impossible to hear through the din of crickets demanding humanity’s attention to the most trifling of pointless delights to consume and/or profit off.
You see, this commentary is intended as gratitude, Caitlin Johnstone. The essence of this piece is exactly what is needing to be sung from every minaret, choked out of the mouths of every blowhard opinionator on every form of mainstream media, bull-horned into every human ear until that social consciousness fully awakens. Because if humanity is destined to survive, this is where its destiny resides. This piece is exactly what humanity is needing, and I know you know it. And I just wanted to be certain to tell you you’re right on point! You hit it out the park again, sister! So don’t you dare stop! Keep seeding these hot-takes! This is where the true revolution lays.
Hell, if a beautiful, intelligent great ape knows it, with a little more effort, so can stupid man.
