Are we born ignorant? Or with innate traits, knowledge and ideas?
Ancient peoples (the original stewards of our planet) believe our souls carry infinitely more wisdom than our conscious minds.
So how has it come to pass that we have morphed into an ignorant and self absorbed species the planet has ever witnessed or likely to ever encounter?
How have we become such directionless beings as to participate and watch our mental and physical destruction in a state of complete inertia?
Ignorance today is not merely a lack of information it is the intentional avoidance of facts. It parades as feigned ignorance. Here is where nature and nurture blur the lines of knowledge and instinct. Intuition and intellect, intuition is your instinct, gut, sixth sense… an intangible. But intellect is tangible with an element of measurability.
Our world is changing as we become entrenched in beliefs of “take overs” from other cultures and populations. We are a species in denial of our own role in creating an atmosphere of fear and loathing – not just amongst ourselves, but across nations, borders and continents.
A species at war with itself and the natural world, perhaps no life form so single-mindedly pursues its own extinction. We’ve turned against our own “progress” by narrowing our minds and vision as we gain ever increasing access to information and the truth.
In perhaps no other peoples is this more accurately personified in the immigrants who enjoy unrestricted travel across the world to move, relocate and re relocate at will.
To set down temporary roots and pick up and leave at will because your document of identity from your country of birth entitles you to free movement.
A majority of the world struggle to comprehend and accept this behaviour – because the same people rail against immigrant culture on their shores. All the while being immigrants in an affordably priced country because the cost of living at ‘home’ is unattainable for them.
So our “adult immigrant toddlers ” set down roots in any corner of the globe they fancy, only to bring with them the new tools of cultural imperialism.
Conglomerates that are larger than small countries such as Walmart, Mc Donalds, Costco and Amazon are no longer stores selling food or products. They are disruptors to entire populations cultures and small countries. Bringing with them consumerism and products against the natural order of the planet. They are in every shape and respect inimical to the natural world and human systems.
Post the US election results of 2024 an increased express interest to move simply because they believe they are no longer ‘welcome’ or ‘comfortable’ in their place of birth. It is utterly astounding that they feel the freedom to move to another country/ continent on the turn of a government. The citizens of a country which shall we say regularly foreign “brings democracy” to corners off the world rich in natural resources.
The ignorance is staggering but not surprising. It is by design of their educational systems and conditioning which serve to create a bubble of their own self serving reality.
The ‘global south’ or ‘third world’ (one wonders who are these second world inhabitants?) for all their imposed restrictions and failings remain a beacon for our “adult immigrant toddlers” because living and child care is cheap, help is abundant and once the purpose is served, onto new pastures. Mind you never to return to the home country whose privileges they continue to avail of.
In a world of chaos and destruction amid insidious corporate assault on every aspect of our lives no matter who we are or where we live, introspection is perhaps our only saviour. If we hope to leave the next generation more than a tangled broken mess of a planet- all of us, of all walks of life need urgently to introspect.
