Growing up in New England during the 50's and 60's, we Yankees were quite proud of our spectacular and at times violent weather phenomenon. Rather smugly we assured visitors that if they didn't like the weather, they should wait a few minutes and it would change.
It seems we New Englanders didn't actually have a monopoly on extreme weather or that quaint old saying about waiting on change.
As fascinating as the human condition is to observe and examine, it pales in comparison to Mother Nature and her endless possibilities and permutations. Not a day passes up here on the mountain when I don't pull out my camera phone and snap a few shots of whatever has caught my eye. At times I am stunned and awe struck by how quickly things change from moment to moment.
What's the harm? You're busy with life's clutter and rush, the 10,000 things of modern (and ancient) times, so you reach for convenience rather than substance. And despite the image above I am not 'just' speaking about food conveniences, but rather all those little psychological, physiological and spiritual short cuts we engage in on a daily basis.
So what's the problem?
I suppose 'nothing' would be the answer. Or maybe everything. Ultimately the lone spiritual traveler is the only one who can honestly answer that question. I certainly won't for anyone else other than myself since I have been, and still can be, as guilty as the next when looking for the shortest route to my destination rather than actively seeking the journey.
I often say we are only as sick as our deepest darkest secrets, meaning those things we do not talk about (either with our 'self' or with others) are what psychologically haunts and emotionally disable us. This holds true regardless of whether we are discussing personal problems or cultural taboos and this inner dysfunction scales perfectly to regional, national and even global populations.
Nowhere is this psychological phenomenon more evident than when examining the insanity surrounding all aspects of the false flag attacks of September 11, 2001. Even those who claim to be wide awake carry some sort of long term trauma from that (ongoing) national shock and awe psychological operation. As painful as it may be to scrub an old wound, it is extremely helpful to examine exactly what is ailing the population in general and ourselves specifically.
