Bon Voyage to the Titanically Rich
Edited on Tue Feb-15-11 04:48 AM by watstearns
Dear Member of the Elite:

I am going to tell you why you are focused so intently on your hoarding right now, and why this will destroy you, despite my warning and your attempts to avoid your fate.

As you know, there is going to be a pole shift between now and the end of 2015. There will be numerous historical-scale natural catastrophes, and great social disorder. While these earth-shift events are happening, there is going to be an analogous metaphysical shift in the consciousness of humanity. We are going to become a heart-centered species, whereas now the people of modern society are living in a more purely intellectual attention.

But not all of us will follow this shift. In times like these, it is natural to look to one's strength, to accumulate as many resources as possible before great disruptions. You, the elite wealth-hoarders of the world, who have experienced so much "success" in your gathering, are going to try to stick with what you know, the systematic application of your intelligence to wealth accumulation. This intellectual effort will futilely attempt to deny the exploding noetic gravity of the heart-consciousness shift, creating a dissonance in your experience, the feeling of a wood chip in defiance of the flood. The net effect is that you will feel confused and uneasy. You will not be able to manage your affairs with the same elan to which you are accustomed. Your mistakes will begin to accumulate. Faster.

In addition, the momentum of your social order will continue to withdraw into its own degenerating movements. For thousands of years your social activity has consisted of an ongoing and streamlined process of identification and subjugation of subgroups. You will continue this process of deciding who is to blame and who will be punished, even when you try to stop. This will continue in your gated, paradisial enclaves until you have turned upon each other with all the vileness that you have traditionally reserved for the working people by whose grace your wealth has come to you.

Your helpers and your children, those who are not too old or stupid to make the shift of consciousness to the heart, will flee the infernal crucible of your idiocy to the relative sanity of the greater population, who will be heirs to their own legacy of meekness.

You will die stupid, alone, arrogant and insane atop huge piles of stolen wealth that will be no use at all to relieve your suffering.

Bon voyage,

Wat

1. I think many of them will figure it out.
And your comment doesn't match the compassion you speak of, although I to can be a bit terse or not nice at times, your statement is not much different then you criticize.

Hence why just playing videos, listening to songs, and stories, is something to do. I could die arrogant, possibly stupid, not alone though, and my sanity is secure, so :shrug: I think that is not a wealth thing.

Many with wealth help many people in many ways.

I do agree that a movement to more compassion with justice is better, it makes sense, but until then, I figure looking at some fascinating thoughts of so many people is an interesting thing to do.

In some ways we all are part of your comment, I know I could see myself in some of those thoughts. But at the same time, I know your comments of that kind of change is better.

Then again nobody with that wealth has paid the beer and travel money that is due. So :shrug: how much worse could it get.

But there is some good sentiments about heart in your post also, that helps me think on that topic also

:loveya:

3. I agree with you
That my titanic post is rather snide. In a certain way, I had to be onboard to write it, and may go down with the ship myself! On the other hand, maybe what I'm saying will help a few people to make the switch while they still can. That would be good!

:D

Just humor, I don't really copyright much stuff.

I figure someone will send me the beer and travel money that is due, and the whole concept of copywrites has been changed from inspiring innovation, to overpayment anyways.
