The conversation in my household went something like this:
He: “Did you hear the latest? Now they’re thinking about dropping a nuclear bomb on the well to seal it off.”
Me: “Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” Deep breathe. “Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I guess I’ve got my answer for ‘how dumb can we get?’ Nuke the well, make it radioactive. Geez. That outta’ be good to watch from a distance.”
She: “Irradiated oil…does it get better gas mileage?”
He: “Yes, but it’s due to less wind resistance because you loose all your hair.”

LOL! How can a human respond to the absurdity of life with anything but humor? Sardonic, cynical, sarcastic, ironic, humor is humor and laughter is the best medecine.
The thing is, it is not just nuking the oil spill, it is just about every single issue on the planet—-it is just one big Theater of the Absurd—on all levels.
How are human beings supposed to deal with this? If you aren’t aware of it intellectually, you are still aware of it within you. The only difference is a matter of knowing the details–and the details just make it suck worse. Ignorance is not bliss. Tthere is no escape, because anyone with a soul and a conscience knows that Something Is Very Wrong.
Now the Channeled information will tell you-fear not!—I agree, you should not fear. That is just self-defeating. People delving into 2012 info believe that the Ancients are telling us that there will be a solar emission, when we and the sun are aligned with the galatic core that is gong to destroy most of what is living on the Earth surface, and this is a cyclical thing that has happened may times before. Well, then screw it, I say! I am going o Party Like It’s 2012! Just how much debt can I get into by then? Oh let me count the way$$$$$$ !!!!!
LOL!

“Just how much debt can I get into by then? Oh let me count the way$$$$$$ !!!!!”
LOL!!! Seems to me even that ability has been curtailed and limited, huh?
Bunk. It’s a lot of bunk. “Lost in Space” ideas lacking in Understanding of the moment. But what could we expect? There’s been no integrating going on, no relating cause and effect.
Sure…there’s something very “wrong” going on. Imagine we can make a quantum shift and everything stays “business as usual”? What’s”wrong” is now all the “wrongness”is coming out, is being exposed. Our illusions are dissolving or being shattered right before our very eyes.
The Blind are now seeing the effects of what’s always been just below the surface of our appearances. So I guess in a way, two ‘wrongs’ do make a right. When we’ve gotten used to “wrong-doing”, then us righting ourselves would feel “wrong”. Makes a truly odd sort of sense.
“Channels” express a lack of willingness in being accountable and responsible for what’s coming out of their mouths. In addition to expressing a separation in awareness. Because of this lack of integration and connection, there is no MEANING being conveyed, no Understanding.
We’ve been observing and experiencing the effects of “coming into alignment” for over a year and a half. It’s the cause, and the destruction of our illusions, an effect.
Meet “Barbie and Ken America”. Barbie is plastic on the outside, hollow on the inside and totally unaccommodating to men. Ken is also plastic on the outside and hollow on the inside, but has no balls and cannot satisfy a woman.
Oil is corrupted with blood money. I dumped over 3000 shares of Exxon stock in 1991 because I didn’t want any of my wealth tainted with the energy of it. And I was raised in the oil business. But when we elected an ex CIA man to Presidency, I realized Honesty was no longer a value to the American people. Nor was having any Integrity.
Many of us have blithely gone about living believing “virtue has no value”. What we are on the road to discovering is that it is all that does.
Physical reality is coming into alignment with our inner realities. As we have been spiritually bankrupt, so our economy adjusted to reflect these deficiencies.
Next,are our governments and systems of Justice. The scales being used are those of Equity,Fairness and Balance. Things don’t look “good” for authority figures that use force or domination of any kind.
Think of it as being granted Universal citizenship. As consumers, we really suck, like parasites we consume resources and leave a mess in our wake. We will become self sustaining. Just look at it as a witness to “the oneness of being”.
Fossilized fools are becoming one with their fossilized fuels.
The longer drilling continues at ANY rate, the more disastrous effects there will be. We will stop. It’s simply a matter of how willful and stubborn about it we’re going to be. The goal will be reached, even if its reached through attrition.
Humanity is not served by values of greed and selfishness.

How’s this for a story?
Barbie and Ken America
Meet Barbie and Ken America. Barbie is plastic on the outside, hollow on the inside and totally unaccommodating to men. Ken is also plastic on the outside and hollow on the inside, is lacking in balls and unable to satisfy a women.
Barbie and Ken lived in their dream home on Niceness Way, right across the street from Nancy and Nigel Neurotic. But that was before their foreclosure, before plastic became out of style. Last seen, they were trying to hide her sports car from the repo man. Lucky for her it was an older model, unequipped with Lojac.
Things were going great for Barbie and Ken in a plastic world, where they appeared, (you guessed it), like living dolls. But their life was all a pose. Barbie had no genuine warmth and Ken wouldn’t have recognized it even if she did. Their world was a world of plastic, of appearances. Nothing else had any meaning; they were hollow after all.
They were also mindless. They never thought about anything. They simply dressed and made the motions of whatever a situation called for. Every action was an attempt at pleasing an unknown authority figure, called “Society”.
Nancy and Nigel were terrified of displeasing “Society”, too. But at least Nancy and Nigel weren’t hollow. They were filled with fear. What had meaning to them was “security”.
But they couldn’t think either, for they were Neurotics and programmed according to their nature. Otherwise, maybe they could have figured it out that “security” is a state of mind, but of course, they paid it no mind.
Nancy and Nigel trusted Barbie and Ken. Together they had carved out their little version of Heaven, inside their gated community of Goodness. Now all that was falling apart. Barbie and Ken’s house was vacant and had fallen into disrepute. The lawn needed mowing, there were weeds in the flowerbeds and no Mexicans had been seen in ages to take care of it.
One night they saw strange lights inside the house and called Security at the gate, but whatever had happened to Barbie and Ken, happened to a lot of plastic people. Their community could no longer afford any gatekeepers.
Follow the story of plastic people learning how to live in the real world.
Peek in on Nancy and Nigel as they learn to venture beyond their fears.

Great story! Here’s another one, in that vein-”A Fable For Our Times”
http://www.chris-floyd.com/articles/1-latest-news/1969-qmaking-friends-with-evilq-a-fable-for-our-times.html
Not the name of the blog-”Empire Burlesque-High Crimes and Low Comedy in the American Empirium”——who cannot love that title?
I think I just have to keep mindful of that thought at all times. Keeping the Cause and the Effect idea front and center should help me get balanced.

Enlightenment always comes with disillusionment. Always. It is a simple relationship of cause and effect. “Duh!”, always follows “Aha!”
If I walk into a dark room and turn on the light, darkness is vanquished. If we had thought to ask ourselves the meaning of Darkness, we would have discovered something very revealing and intimate about ourselves. The only purpose and the goal of Darkness is to hide what we don’t want to look at.
As Ayn Rand would say, we tend to wipe out reality, then act surprised when reality ends up wiping us out.
There’s nothing popping up, no ugliness of character, no repulsive quality of character, that hasn’t been there all along. I happened to have been SEEING it all along. It’s the “reason” I gave guidance to take an inventory of the qualities of our character with as much zeal of desire that we took inventory of our physical wealth…with the same penchant for detail.
I HAD a R e a s o n.
I was trying to transmute the CAUSES, before we had to live through the EFFECTS. *Now* it’s too late. What we can do now is starting planting different seeds, so to speak. Weed seeds were planted, now we’ve got a harvest of weeds coming in. Cause…and effect.
The “evil” stuff simply has to stop. See no evil, see ignorance instead. And remember that “stupid” can’t be fixed, so don’t even try. Just let it be.
Since it’s obvious we’re non-thinking, another approach has to be used. If my purpose was to turn a non-thinking herd of cattle, all I’d need to is spook them. Cause…and effect. Like I’ve said, “We are being herded into a change in what we think and the ways we think”.
The ONLY choice open to ANY of us right now is how resistant we’re going to choose to be about it. When the EFFECTS are Global, we need to learn to think it terms of “we” not “them”.
Any and every “patriot” is a biased asshole. I don’t want to hear any *crap* about supporting our troops either. If their lives had been valued as precious, then we wouldn’t have sent them. It’s easy to bring them home. Fly big plane in, march troops onto it and fly them back.
If the people in Irag and Afghanistan desire the comforts of civilization, then let their people choose to start acting civilized. CAUSE…and EFFECT.
If we started associating and relating CAUSE…and EFFECT, then we’d understand what was actually possible. A lot of our “ideals” are simply illusions and glamours being use to support our vainglorious goals.
If a Society has been supporting “wrong-doing”, and rotten-ness of character, then it really isn’t such a “bad” thing that it has to change, is it? If the only way we know how to relate to the world and everyone in it, is as a parasite, then of what possible benefit to the Whole are we?

Funny, of course you know someone is probably out there thinking about it.
