Society is an organic living thing created from the bottom up. The Pyramid is never, will never and has never been controlled from the top. That is the illusion of the elite, the megalomaniac, the egoist. It is the base of the pyramid, the bottom which is the organic living growing hill. The top can be removed but if the bottom crumbles there is nothing.

We all know it's a lot easier to slip into a beer or a Jack and Coke or an Ambien, an episode of Seinfeld, South Park, something funny, something light, something meaningless. It's our natural inclination to find pleasure and comfort in the world, and to screen out and filter the negative aspects, no matter how glaring they may become. And in fact it is only when our protective membrane is pierced by a spear of urgent now that we react.

Your pyschic apparatus, it was not meant to identify with itself. The self is an impermeant dream, an illusion and you can see this readily if you look around you and see how easily people would rather identify with a group with a team, with an association, with a uniform, with a political candidate, with a guru, with a rock band, with a rap artist. We want and need to project ourselves radiantly outward into the world, to perceive the self as other. Whether you worship Dionysus or Led Zeppelin, it is the same natural human behavior.

The way to win this is just for people to realize how good they really are. That they don't need this depravity, this lessening of their self image, this cheapening of their existence.

But rather than blowing things up and making them exaggerated and outlandish and melodramatic, plant your feet in the Earth. It is here, it is going to be here. It is you that is the firefly in the sun.

Solutions are myriad and many and unhidden waiting for our implementation for our realization that it is thoroughly within our power to transform this to repair, to regrow.

To become ourselves again, an intelligent caring cooperative living breathing sentient organism. (less info)
