Call to wake or alarmist agenda?

Earth Overshoot Day: Humanity consumes 100% of planet's resources in eight months

What is the true alarm or call within alarmist articles?
 

Humanity is vastly more resourceful as is The Earth - than the cartels of limiting and controlling supply  would allow to flower - or they would lose such 'control'. But something is correct here - the persistence of a coercive control mentality increases deprivation by the layering of denials and controls of such denials. death is the logical outcome from denying and limiting One Self - be that replaced with judgements of self-justified righteousness of any kind - in their illusion of power that splits off from un-faced fear to then seek to resolve, fix or overcome it in externalized projections. A managed living death is all that is on offer from a blinded and corrupted idea - but clinging to the fantasies of fulfilment as a virtual reality layer by which to make such pain and futility bearable.
The Foundation is lost to a false sense of self and thus Everything is out of true. Restore the true Foundation and see just how unimaginably a healed perspective can align resources that we have forgotten we have denied and deprived ourselves of.
It is the mentality of a false foundation in denial of its true state that is to become extinct. The meek shall inherit the Earth because they  are receptive to their true inheritance. The version of Earth that is seen through a glass darkly is as false a currency as debt-based money creation which expands debt as a form of control. Denial mentality grows denial in the FORMS of gaining power and control over unrecognized fear - as a result of false foundational beliefs.

Cultural renewal is an act of individual appreciation

In a conversation on the future and role of a web site for the circle dance network was said:

- - -

Over the longer term, I'd like to see it develop/link to consolidated resources of material such as notes on dances, e.g. their origins, sources of music, cultural notes, etc.

- - -

I felt this rep lie expand out of the question:

So I ask, what is the 'it' that will in time develop and link to consolidated resources for the dance?

The control/withholding/owning  of information feels to me to be a defining paradigm of an age that I feel is coming to its end. I feel that anything operating on this basis will fade with it.

Not that anything 'should' be free, or that sources 'should' be ignored, usurped, dishonoured, repackaged and sold. There is an energetic basis for the communication and exchange of energy that is a living relationship and not a system of steps set in stone.

Life can operate or unfold as a matter of integration as communication of a nature, that the 'control/withholding/owning mentality' obscures, denies, or distorts to render unrecognisable and therefore untrustworthy.

Because I hold the dance within the sense of a reintegrating movement of being, I feel to accept and align with that movement - as I uncover the seeming blocks and relax through them. Indeed I see life as the process of such apparent blocks rising in order to be re-cognized or known again in an original perspective instead of the assertion of a mentality that arises from a negatively or fearfully defined sense of disconnected self - and seeks to eradicate them in perpetual war.

I put that first because without a foundation, there is no basis for change.  The old foundation can only persist in a depleting and burdensome struggle.

So I ask, what is the 'it' that will in time develop and link to consolidated resources for the dance?

There is no 'it', only us - and perhaps there is no us excepting as we each re-cognize our self in the desire or movement of being that is

... the willingness to begin,  

... the motive power to do and sustain, 

... the guiding consciousness to direct, 

... the appreciation of fulfilment shared.

So the idea of the 'it' is all too easily the wishful rehearsal of ideas that perhaps fish for something to line up as transaction without the  transformative process of relationship, involvement and embrace. It is sort of talking in code so as to make our now seem to be 'later' so as to attend to something else given precedence in the 'meanwhile'. 

I don't say any of this in rebuke or blame whatsoever - but simply to notice that we all know how to operate in coded ways that tend to mask or cover over facets of our self or our relationship that we sought to hide from or indeed hide in.

In order to be able to develop and link and share in such a venture we need to embody a different consciousness than the judgemental right/wrong, either/or mentality - much as our personal mythology might be predicated on it.

A process of communication, honourably engaged, has an outcome that all who are willing to share in it, can walk with. The attempt to coerce the outcome is always a denial or avoidance of communication as assertion of personal or private agenda - which is often operating unconsciously UNTIL it comes up to awareness as a dissonance of communication in relationship.

No one 'should' engage in communication or relationship of commitment, but such is life already. A true and honest accounting of what we accept as true of us and are thus committed to as the basis of our relationships is our integrity. If we persist in choosing out of alignment with our integrity, we experience disconnection and loss and thus attempt to operate from a sense of independence that we do not have - although we can assert the wish of a segratively defined sense of self and play its experience out in such a way as to believe we are as defined in the story and are not the scriptwriter.

I know that in attempting to articulate a different perspective, I become unintelligable in the same way that a non dancer can be dropped into a vocabulary of rhythm and movement and neither know what is going on, nor have any handle on it to begin to get with it - until they relax the models that simply don't fit - and be open to receive the living information, guidance or direction that does.

To give oneself wholly to what one loves or is moved or inspired to do - to the best of one' current ability -  is the key to living in any given moment. But to live this is to be willing to challenge or enquire as to how and why one actually IS choosing to squelch or limit or invalidate that which truly, is you.

Being no more and no less but exactly who we are is the condition in which all else is appreciated as it is.  The attempt to defend and maintain who one is not is no longer finding the music to support it - and thus generates conflict in order to 'survive and prevail'. 

Authenticity and integrity are not constructed or derived from external author-ity without uncovering one's own, nor asserted without due honouring of the true authority working through the willingness of others that join and link in shared purpose as the dance of life - which is not really about 'getting there' or becoming someone' so much as being this moment of unfolding as a creative act.

World over-using underground water reserves, scientists say

This issue or water depletion due to over mining may seem to be about resources and politics, but there is a pervasive issue of which it is but a symptom.

"The Prodigal Son", in its self-bound orientation, is a mentality that does not honour its Source - but acts out as if it is its own creation. Such self serving thinking implicitly brings a wasteland of hollowness, falsity and depletion in return for a brief dream of being 'master of its own local universe'. All that we share as our basis of life can be seen as up for grabs in a war of force and guile, or as the means of honouring and serving Life.

Until the lesson sinks home, the error is repeated over and over and yet dressed as some kind of progress or protection. Perhaps there is no choice but to undermine our own existence on Earth, while choice itself is associated with expressing a separative self-wilfulness.

Get now - let others pay, now and tomorrow", is a devil's pact - for we are seduced and then compelled by a thinking that looks only at a partial aspects of the whole and 'fits' them together as if to validate its own partiality.

Wholeness is not an assemblage of parts - but arises naturally as the heart's discernment, in willingness and trust, to serve rather than wield, to listen and receive rather than to dictate or assert, and to be guided or shifted beyond the thinking with which it had become habituated.

This is not going to be a plan that can be evaluated as a strategy, but an ongoing step by step willingness that lays the foundation for the restoration of our mind to its True Condition.

For we do not create our own awareness and are not as disconnected and separated from the Living Universe and its Source as we may like to think.

To release ourselves from a false tyranny is also to let go of deeply cherished personal sense in which we gain a sort of comfort and protection - but always with the cost of isolation and fear.

Drought spreads across England

I have a sense that water is mined from sources that are not being replenished and which is a hidden or unreported in the media.

I also have a sense that by the time we are told about it, will be when the corporations own and control water in a way very similar to our  recent discovery of all these 'toxic' debts and deceptive 'financial instruments'.

Using up resources for personal profit is the way a limitless growth economy could be scammed onto the foolish. Scarcity becomes attractive to moneymakers because it offers a point of leverage and control.

Water may be cheap and plentiful enough to live even in drought Anglia - but it's availability is one of THE conditions for living.

We seem to have lost all the wisdom of our traditions - perhaps because the scamming of the foolish is by no means properly reported.

Sustainable living does not fit with corporate agendas. Nor joyful people - (excepting for their ads).
Corporate agendas tend to a lawlessness of intent because war is the model of their 'relationships'. They kill or be killed, and yet conspire together to keep us from participating directly in our own lives.

I trust that even Corporate thinking realizes the extremity of the times - and seeks to embody a greater responsibility for all - including themselves and their companies. The micro economy is of our personal level, domestic and community - and this needs protecting and nurturing instead of undermining so as to make us helpless dependant consumers - (to be dumped when there are no more jobs or welfare capacities).

We don't need GDP stats or  ghost jobs - we need to develop real assets that grow a real interdependent activity of mutual benefit from the ground up and from the top down. Water could be a Good Place to Start! Re-embracing our relationship with our living planet and each other.

If I'm wrong about the building up of a hidden water crisis (regardless of this drought), then hooray!

But please do report on any under the (water) table politics - as well as opening up a sense of practical options, on our relationship with water on both micro and macro levels.
