Bravo David. I read this when first posted and came back today to reread and think on it. Yes. You have said it all. This is how I feel this week, month, summer of 2024. I feel like a completely different person than I did six months ago. The end of 2023 seems like a different era, time period, ages ago, and I don’t mean because of Gaza which is on my mind day and night and morning and afternoon and evening, and every time I take a sip of water.
We are in a new era. I smell it and feel it and taste it. Collapse is in the wind, the air, the water, and even in the soil. I feel it.
I spent the last 3 days driving up the 101 from Southern California to Seattle. I arrived last night with something like a thousand examples of collapse witnessed on my trip. A road trip in 2024 is a ballad for the good the bad and the ugly.
Forty thousand year turning point Brother nothing to Fear except fear it's self yes I'm totally aware of the Wars raging all around us the collapse of societies and the Economic turmoil all around us I agree with everything you have addressed bar climate change I have been around first Nations people's here in Western Australia and Australia wide living in harmony with nature I find people somewhat confusing stick predominantly to myself.Have been a prospector and Apiarist for a long time please read Lyall Watson Super nature,One hour is but one day One day is ONE year and One year is but a thousand years. Peace in Peace out Brother
Wonderfully written! I am baffled by our culture and our obliviousness to the God staring at us in the natural order. Mother Nature is my God's face and I can walk-up to Her any time and touch Her face in any and every flower, tree, and living thing. We immigrant descendants from Europe and Africa and Asia, mostly, lost respect for Her in our migration from an over-crowded Europe, Africa, Asia, etc., and that alienation has eaten our souls. Does anyone really think God wanted a golf course in place of and substituting for His/Her natural order? Or a sky-scraper, or airport, or oil refinery, or whatever human "built" environment we can dream-up in yet another nightmare of alienation from the truth that He/She has put before us? Don't give-up on God, and we don't need a SuperNature to see His/Her face and admire Him/Her in their glory. But, finding our true Nature is ever harder in our distraction filled "built" environment. It did not abandon us, we abandoned Him/Her and have become so much the worse off for it in our ever more painful state of alienation and false sense of separateness. Hug a tree today, but don't let anyone see you. They might call the looney squad and have you hauled away for reprocessing and repackaging. Peace, out! Namaste' It was inevitable that we Americans, displaced citizens of the great diasporas, would finally choose the master of deception, the Anti-Christ himself, to faux lead us into extinction.

This fits with a couple things on my mind, Michael Meade's latest podcast and "Parable of the Sower"
So Buddhist! In which case the shadow and source of all suffering is the ego/conditioning/Mara. Give it no attention, and it ceases to exist.
