Crisis
Wrote by Prune in Fall of 2018
What the human race confronts today in the United States is a crisis. All forms of information and media and propaganda is reinforcing complete distrust of all sources of information. Indeed this is the exact opposite effect of what we were envisioning in the 1980's with the beginning of the “Information Age”.
True we quickly became acquainted with the soon to become all to familiar experience of “sensory overload” or “information overload”. The problem is, there is simply too much verbal information. Information pours into us from signs, from video monitors, from thousands of conversations mimicking the behavior of actors on TV sets, and not only that, we now have the phenomenon of “social media” that has completely engulfed the lives of our present generations.
In the 1980's we were celebrating the advent of the personal computer and envisioning an era of hyper-enlightened and hyper-educated masses with every sort of information available for the asking at their fingertips. Especially with the advent of the Internet, it was clear that every form of information was going to be available to everyone in a way that had never before occurred in the history of the human species.
But the overload was not anticipated.
Especially with advertising and profit-motivated information deluges, the very importance and meaning of information became diluted, overloaded, and inevitably people began to completely ignore and disregard all forms of information of an important character, unable to distinguish between information that is important and information that is unimportant. In fact, there is now so much information that people simply select the type of information they want to hear instead of the information they need to hear. You now have the phenomenon where two neighbors, living next door to each other, can be living in two completely different worlds with very little overlap.
Greedy and ambitious adventurers seized upon the opportunity to clamp down on the media and control all forms of common information dispersal. Now we have just six corporations in control of all forms of media, and they bend and censor information according to their whims and political, profit-motivated ends.
Now we have a period where every bit of information is regarded with complete distrust, as if every piece of information is designed to sell us something, except for some outlets that are given less critical filtering such as “The News” because of the constant brainwashing and manipulations of 6 power hungry corporate entities. The result is that things like science and spiritual wisdom are treated with complete disrespect. That is not helped by the advent of stand-up comedy and the attack on intellectualism that has been going for at least 40 years by the ridicule and grotesque portrayal of “nerds and geeks” that occurred in every major media enterprise. Shows like “The Simpsons”, pretending to be harmless children entertainment cartoons, reinforced a highly anti-intellectual and anti-work ethic attitude that has completely permeated the entire culture. Now we have a situation where you can't even mention Climate Change in Florida [in 2018] and every form of science is laughed at in favor of a mean selfishness and all-encompassing pleasure seeking sickness.
When a political activist or spiritual adviser has something important to say to people, it is now completely lost and tuned out and there is no longer a venue for important information. It can no longer reach a widespread audience because the whole system of information has become overloaded and has short circuited.
[Conclusion drawn in 2018]: Therefore we now have a completely non-functional intellectual impact and we have now entered the Spiral of Doom. We will continue to spiral towards increasing ignorance and apathy until the whole world is consumed by pollution, violence, and misuse, and there is now no way to stop it except by the grace of God, the Goddess, or the Galactic Council or other Higher Powers. Unfortunately the people have lost their ability to engage in original critical thought and to heed important information when it becomes available.
[Conclusion drawn in 2018 part two]: They [meaning those who have lost the ability to distinguish between important and unimportant information] have lost their motivation to save the world or save the people and they have lost their love for God or the human race. [But this does not include everyone in the United States.]
[Conclusion drawn in 2021]: There is still hope, through the grace of God, the Cricket Army, the Goddess, the Galactic Council, and the other Higher Powers. This is assuming that God wishes to keep His creation going. Since He created it, He should be able to make a final decision about whether to keep it going or not.
Poem
Wrote by Astral Prune just prior in the Summer of 2018
One thing for sure, we got to protect the Earth
This mother nature is the land of our birth
The water, the tree, the air, the plants
The insects, the animals in their life long dance
We have nothing else to give our children but this
and now we must fight to keep it at great risk
don't take for granted that we will always have it
the corporations for profit just want to stab it
Now is the time we must fight to protect
it takes a lot of time and energy to give the Earth respect
And now we must fight we have no other choice
because in the courts of law animals have no voice
except for those who can stand up for their rights
which are steadily destroyed by privileged Whites
we have to take a stand and stand up for what is right
and keep on fighting long into the dead of night
Let us become dancers in the dance of life
to keep life to preserve life to save life from the knife
the knife of the careless one the destroyers and thieves
if we can turn them around that's what the world needs
and then we can all live as one happy place
and that is what it will take to save the human race
