Everyone, I suppose, must come to the answer to this question of sanity in their own time and on their own terms for that, it appears, is the way things are in this world as we have made it. But there IS a better way, a different path, a better world and the seam of it lies in the crease of a reality we avoid or ignore while we soldier-on like lambs to our own slaughter. We skip over the crucial evidence as to the existence of a better world because we truly do not believe that one is possible, acceptable or otherwise desirable.
Until the perceived pain of the change is less than the current pain we can no longer confuse with pleasure or joy, we dare not challenge the possibility that we might be insane. And yet it is precisely this one act – challenging our own sanity against universally trustworthy propositions – that reflects both the acceptance of the possibility of complicity in our own circumstances and that we are, in spite of our membership in a demonstrably suspect species, at least on a path towards greater sanity and soundness of mind.
I suppose until we accept that we are all “sinners” we will continue to believe in the relevance of the “sins” of others, holding ourselves in abeyance. And until we awaken to the reality that one can not be, “in” if there is no “outside,” we will continue to invite in our worthy foreign guests to our table of pascal sacrifice. Once there, we will give our “honored” guest time to convince us of their trustworthy propositions, before we proceed to deny them all, because we are unconsciously driven by madness to eat their beating hearts right out of their living breasts. Time and again our pasts become our futures because the “absurd” notion that we are all insane is simply not as easy to accept as the more familiar bloody ritual of human sacrifice.
On some imaginary path towards a fleeting redemption a still, small voice utters, “to change your future, stop looking at your past. Look honestly, instead, at the present moment and choose to see the facts from a different light.” Turn the other cheek. See a different point of view. Maybe 911 was an inside job. Why should we fear the truth unless we already know that the truth would reveal the lie we would rather believe in?
Is this near-universal human fear of truth not tantamount to a prayer for insanity?
And what loving higher power would not grant His most treasured creation their fondest wish?
The abomination of the Obama-Nation will continue until everyone agrees to accept their complicity in the insanity of it all.
