ONLY IN GREEN ACRES: “Okay, well I have the goose now . . .”

February 5, 2024

 

‘Twas walking down the street with puppy Shadow this morning when I came across Enaba, about ready to get in her car. She lives with I think it’s five small children, plus her husband and mother in a typical single story Green Acres ranch house, its front yard entirely filled in with all sorts of berry bushes.

Backstory: Many years ago, a crew from Green Acres Permaculture Village walked down to their house with wheelbarrow and tools to help them begin the lasagna process of making beds. As I recall, they had the cardboard ready to go.

(In case you’re confused, the name Green Acres works for both our large neighborhood and our tiny village within it.)

So, At our Community Dinner, last Thursday night, we were talking about their very lively place, and of course, we all wonder what’s in the back yard, which has a closed-in fence. We wonder because we have seen both chickens and, I thought ducks, wandering outside the fence — but it’s geese apparently, because guess what? When I mentioned our wonderment to Enaba this morning, she laughed and told me to google “African Goose Bloomington,” before driving off in her car, late for an appointment.

So I did.

NO.

Well, let me qualify that “no.” To wit: if you don’t rely on Big Pharma to “fix” your brain, but instead have begun to consciously notice and then encourage your innate “fair witness,” a larger, spacious, neutral awareness that includes the push/pull, cause/effect, action/reaction of your everyday 3D experiences, but is NOT identified with them, then NO. You have not gone crazy. In fact, it is we who will be needed to help center and balance the rapidly, increasingly violent and destabilizing global drama going forward.

However, our “govern-ments,” (top-down bureaucratic entities which pretend to “govern” our “minds”), at pretty much every level, HAVE gone crazy. Let’s not follow them down that black hole. Let’s instead remember, re-member (put ourselves back together again) who we are —

as sovereign souls, at one with all,

and

as individuals, utterly free.

 

Here’s a good explanation of the difference between Democracy and Constitutional Republic.

So you keep hearing politicians and the media say "Our Democracy"

As most know, we ARE NOT a Democracy, we ARE a Constitutional Republic!! But what does that really mean?

In short a Democracy is rule by majority which means 51% have total control over the other 49% and usually… pic.twitter.com/ytO4EZiqzu

And here’s the inimitable VDH, his intricate, textured perspective on the Current Senseless Absurdity.

How Can We Make Sense of the Current Senseless Absurdity?

Is what’s happening all a bad dream? The wage of utter incompetence? A bad joke? Nefariousness?

Perhaps the answer to fathoming the currently unfathomable is that the powers that run our national, state, and local…
