2012 is finishing in less than a week. Contrary to what many people thought would happen, the planet is still here. I must admit that there was a romantic part of me that vanished last friday. For sometime I thought there would come to happen a massive change in someway, and maybe it has being happening since many years ago, and will continue happening for longer, yet I was amused by the idea of some global change coming to everyone's lives that would defeat the rationalism. It happened all the contrary though, the extreme rationalists that have made of science their bible, believe they had a great triumph over the "loonies" on that day. Loonies are all those that do not behave in the same way as the typical Western rationalist. Sure, I agree that religious fanatics are loonies, however I still keep my mind open to the idea of the Spiritual Realm being the most important in our lives, far more than the materialist one.
If there is a New World Order, then it must be the Order of Reason above the Heart. From Friday 21th of December on, everyone that does not believe blindly in science and guide themselves by it, will be classified as a maniac. Sure, this order of reason has been happening for the last 4 centuries, but of it, we will only and sadly notice an increase in the upcoming years. The humanist idea that this species is the center of the universe will continue, until the last remnants of nature have been destroyed.
I'm not intending to sound bitter, but in a world in which the most watched online video this year has been a random Korean guy dancing a random dance, implies that the global village has degraded to a point where people just want amusement. Thinking it better, this is a world of Reason only for those controlling the spectacle, because most of the human creatures are completely unreasonable.
Everyone that does not think like the majority will be categorized as stupid, and will be either pushed to adapt to the standards of reason, or pushed out of society itself.
Capitalism, Communism, Fascism, Nationalism, have all been qualified by their promoters as "products of reason" yet what they have brought to our planet wasn't even perceived by Dante in his infernal visions.
It has happened to me twice already, to think a global catastrophe of some kind would bring sunnier days. First, with the global economic crisis of 2008 I thought people would adopt a more austere lifestyle, finally recovering the harmony with nature. Yet I was proven completely wrong by the faceless hordes of people waiting for a new iPhone release on the streets, as well by the millions of people just wanting to get drunk.
It was foolish of me to think that something would happen this December, that would in someway bring a positive change to the human mind. Quite the contrary, what we have witnessed is that from now on, every single mystical subject will be considered a joke.
Of course, a global catastrophe might sound horrible, heartless from my part, and I agree to certain point. I agree, that I have to work on my compassion towards humanity, but at the same time I consider myself aware to the fact that we Human, aren't the only species on Earth, and since so I believe that we need an urgent change. There's already a catastrophe happening to millions of people around the world, those in Africa that have nothing to eat and live among first world's trash, those in South America and Middle East scourged by violence, and those in the First World mentally sick that are being packed with Psychiatric drugs. The crisis is ALREADY HERE, and for those mocking the idea that the world would end, well I have got news to tell you: IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING! It is happening, but surely in a slowly and nasty way. Yesterday I read on the local newspaper how Brazil has devastated its amazone jungle during this year, isn't that to finish with the world? All for what? more electricity, and buildings?
A global happening this december would have brought a change to how the human acts, and perhaps he would for once recover the function of perceiving God in nature, and living in harmony with it. But it didn't happen, and what we will witness in 2013 is shallowness reaching an even higher peak.
So well, no global change for humanity, but for me it has indeed changed everything. In a personal level, my life has changed quite a lot during the last 2 months, and even though I'm still on dialysis, many things have changed for better. Also, as someone that has had to deal with mental illness in his environment during many occassions, I have made as one of my purposes for 2013, to protect and nurture my mind positively as best as I can. This means no more negative feedback, no more research about the darkest things happening in the world, nor of negative paranormal stuff.
The empirical negative data I have received both from what I have experienced through falling sick in Europe and getting back here, and even much before of some other trouble, as well as all the negative data I have absorbed while investigating on dark subjects, has taken its toll on me. It has helped me noticed how many things we take for real are a mere fantasy, but also as the duality increased, so did the anxiety and the ego problems. Intrusive thoughts? I rather take a different path on my life in which such thoughts will once again disappear.
As previously said, Alchemy is not worth it. Nor it is the Western way of achieving knowledge. If you want proof of this, just look at all the bright people that have ended completely unhappy, either sick to death or killing themselves because life had become hell. In melancholy there is no answer, there's only a profound lake of fear and ego that doesn't let you advance.
This idea of wanting to have all the rational knowledge on the world, is just another ilussion of the ego, trying to distance itself from the other people. And it is something I have to work on.
It is part of the human condition having to deal with so many obstacles in the every day life, in one way or another. Yet we can make it easier for us. When we love ourselves, we won't let our ambition drive us away from our happiness. What might look simple, might be the real gold. I have understood that in the simplicity of a spontaneous smile there is more than in a universe of rationalism. Blessed is the farmer whose joy is found in reaping a good fruit!
Wish everyone in this world, a 2013 full of clarity, love and courage! :)
