The Reality of The Damned

My sister is dying.  She has chosen to spend the remainder of her time on earth to blame, bully, and emotionally destroy anyone whom she perceives to still have a future and be capable of happiness. This is not really new behavior for her.  She has always been an extremely jealous and petty bully of a person, but one always hopes (at least I do) that a person faced with the inevitability of their own mortality will awaken to the truths in life that can encourage us to make our peace with what our life has been and possibly set right those things that they can before it is too late.  My sister is not one of those people.

I actually have witnessed this kind of behavior before in an employer of mine who was dying of cancer some years ago.  Once the diagnosis was made, he fought his battle with chemotherapy, false bravado, and abusive language and behavior to anyone who got close enough to get bullied.  It was not like that with everyone, though.  Many people who really did not mean anything to him were treated with a philosophical demeanor and a calm assurance that he trusted in god to know what was best. 

Forget what you have seen in films and read in books about people coming to terms with the end of life and doing their best to make amends where needed and make sure that everyone close to them knows that they are loved and cherished even until the end. 

We are experiencing the death of another sort in the world right now.  It is the death of kindness and community.  It is the death of close personal relationships which have been replaced by a virtual reality communication with others where we are not required to invest any more of ourselves in than the internet requires of us. It has absolved us of any responsibility toward another human being as far as acting on our best behavior to sustain the relationship/friendship.  Bullying and hatefulness have no consequences attached to them and we can blame everyone else on the planet for the multitude of problems that are plaguing us as a society.  There is no one to stop us from demanding our personal rights or pushing out the rights of others whom we disagree with.  This truly is the behavior of the dying, but it is the death of the world as we know it.  It is also the death of so many people who are innocent of the forces that brought it upon us. To assume that we can change it now is folly because there are not enough of us who care.

The coming election here in the U.S. has given us three choices (that is, until the final candidates are chosen).  We have one candidate that wants to see the world come back from all of the past mistakes of former administrations and share in the endeavor to make it a world that all can live with and benefit from.  There is another candidate who will make sure that all of the elements that went in to the destruction that we are now living with stay firmly in place so that the status quo can continue on its merry way making obscene amounts of money at the expense of the rest of us. And then there is the candidate who is mad as hell and sure that the solution is in their hands with more bullying and a fight to the death with any person or place who might believe differently.  It is a scenario for failure no matter who wins this election because the majority of Americans are not on the same page on any of the issues that are destroying us.  They are not even reading the same book!  Heaven help us.  We are much too far gone to come out of this.  It would require a unity of the people that no longer exists except in small pockets.  If you find yourself in one of those small pockets and wonder how in the world you can make any difference in the last days of human existence you can stop wondering.  You cannot do anything outside of yourself.  We are now in a position where it is too late for most people to turn back the clock and go back to the past.  You only have control of your own reactions now.  While the rest of the world is realizing that they are close to death they are fighting tooth and nail to make sure that others who dare try to make peace and work toward a future will fail.  Those who have not yet realized that there is an end to everything at some point are playing the fiddle while humanity burns, but understand that there is a great majority who do see the end coming and are hell bent on punishing everyone that they can for it.

If you are one of the few who still cares about life and having the best quality of life possible for yourself, your loved ones, and all people of good heart, you may be wondering why you should bother when you are in such a minority and the world seems doomed to die.  Truly, it is only feasible if you believe that you are here for a reason and that what you do now at this most critical time has a purpose.  For the past two years I have been writing this blog with the hope and prayer that anyone reading it will find their true self somewhere in these words and look to the truth of what they are to make right what may be wrong and in need of correction for  their own survival.  Those who are truly dying want you die along with them  and are making these times as difficult as possible for all so they will not feel so bad about their own demise if they can force you to experience it, too.  It is a bit like the fall of Pompeii.  Very few people survived the volcano erupting. So few were capable of receiving the call from the universe to flee. People now are not capable of hearing the call to remove themselves from the danger and hold on tightly to what they are and what they know to be the truth about their reason for being.  If you have not yet made your peace with what you are on earth for at this particular time and place there is still hope for you while humanity exists and you still draw breath.  It has come to the point where the old ways of thinking about reality and how to manage in this life will not work.  Unless you can call upon the universe to guide you now you don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of navigating the turbulent waters.  I hope that you have learned how to listen to the higher source in the last two years of reading my blog.  If you still have not made that connection and are not able to hear the voice of creation on your own, know that if you are still coming here to read there is a way to make that universal connection and get where you need to be.  Please ask for help either through this venue or through another that you feel you can trust.  We are not dead until we are buried, and even though so many want you to ride to hell with them you do not have to follow them.  If others have wasted their life and are angry at you for it is their own downfall.  Whatever they take from you in their quest let them have it.  Nothing is worth the loss of the true you and what you were meant to have and be in this life. There are still people left who care and can help.
