No matter which potential arises, how we nurture that arising potential is going to determine how it evolves and whether it will totally do away the human race. Regardless, change requires death. That death may be the fathering impulse for our becoming a more loving species that knows its role in the whole. It may also mean our total annihilation into the soils of the Earth. Even in this latter option, new life will unfold. Why? It is because we exist in a living universe to which our inner world must be wedded. Thus it is that Snow White is poisoned by the apple of vanity and is kissed awake by the lips of Her Prince.
We are destined to die to Vanity because life is destined to evolve. Just as every newborn baby suffers a death in the safe environment that he had become so comfortable in, we are going to die to our current way of living. It has to happen. The Mother's body must release the fetus so that he doesn't continue to grow and overwhelm Her systems, polluting them irrevocably.
Can we enter into this death consciously? Or shall we scream as the perceived monster comes to violate and devour our Psyches? Can you hear our future generations cry out to you? Don't expect some eternalized God to die for you and for them. You have to do it yourself. There are no external scapegoats.
Perhaps because of the actions you and I take, future generations can become a more evolved species living at peace in this universe and upon this planet? Today, humankind is invited to become Mary, the Mother of God. Will we accept this annunciation as a blessing or continue to reject if as a curse?
