"You have man against woman
left against right
this against that.
We think you people are nuts."
What Chief Seattle was realizing was that opposites ARE a unified system. This is simply how the original cultures operated. Opposites were united. "E Pluribus Unim."
What a joke! Its meaningless in our world of standardization of everything from goods to education.
Imagine your life if you only had a left side to your body. Absurd notion, isn't it? Of course, the notion of right is interdependent with that of left. Is the independence of left from right, up from down, inner from outer, or time from space any less absurd than the way we treat our fellow human beings not to mention the rest of the planet? What do we become when we destroy our "enemy"? What separates "shock and awe" from "terrorism"? Who do we destroy when destroying Nature if not ourselves?
Bush and Obama are mirrors of one another. Hey, the tragic comedian, Michael Moore, once said Bill Clinton was the best Republican president we ever had. Thus, these opposites of republican/democrat or left and right are indeed simply mirrors of one another.
Dare we shatter the "Magic Mirror" that has us so enthralled?
Yes, Alice, you slumbering Beauty, there IS a rabbit hole! And you, we and I are all in it!
Sol Luckman is an author and deep thinker who helps us escape the Magic Mirror of Snow White's Vanity. Do you think that this myth or fairy tale is about anything else but the dance of you and me, young and old, black and white, Christian and Muslim, or Bush and Obama? ("Fairest of all" is a log in the eye of the beholder, Dummy!)
Sol truly gets the marriage of political--corporate myth and our perceived reality! Our myth is our Truth and our Truth is a function of the stories we tell ourselves.
Yes, Georgia, our perceived reality IS our myth!
What shall we tell ourselves on the day we awaken from our lies?
Sol is a prolific visual artist and innovator in the field of ink painting as well as critically acclaimed author of fiction and nonfiction. Sol's paintings are expressionistic works on canvas and paper that inspire the imagination, uplift the spirit, and amaze the eye. His vision of the world is deeply shamanic, as a place not wholly solid, but informed by a kinetic vibrancy that is fundamentally conscious.
Sol's non-fiction presents a conscious healing method called Regenetics, allowing us to potentiate the major part of our DNA that lies dormant within us. Sol is thus fostering human evolution!
