Nothing Unreal Exists
@Hardaway today made another sincere dive into the US recessive trends. She draws light on words from a mentor of hers, who suggests that the resources and capabilities of North America show that we haven’t really ‘lost’ anything.
I’ve heard the expression that “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.” When I originally heard it, that statement went “Love is the only thing that’s real” – which I tend to ring with more. If you substitute “truth” for “love” – or any sentiment of Reality / Veritas – then nothing unreal ever goes away.
…which is why Burning Man completely panned our culture by designating their 2008 theme as American Dreamers
No one can ever take what Real. We fall into the real in the absence of all else. It’s like gravity. Some Sufi sects made this their ‘philosophical principia’ as they consumed such quantities of hashish that all else but the most essential divine Real was obliterated… leaving that indestructable, unblur-able, core available for perception.
I didn’t lose a job, because the for-pay-relationship is only an artifact of my skill and professional core. Not my professional capabilities – those can go un-utilized, if I so choose. Our core does not involve ‘choice’ – it is the structure of who and what we are. It’s a structure of radiance – by which we can go to any ends That’s why we can substitute the word “love” in the opening quote – because you can’t avoid Love. Doing so tears individuals apart, and segments families when people try to decide around the Love at their core.
Nothing True has been, nor can be, taken from anyone. People in the US don’t have any more health than they did when there was a healthcare system that would promise to take of them. Nor will people have any greater health when a new system of promissory notes is devised. Your health is what you give to yourself. There’s no less Real work than there ever was – the fantasy and speculative employment is what went away. What were you doing? What is it that you Do?
