BEING CONSCIOUS: Part 4 — The Flower Show

[5 of 5—to begin click here:  BEING CONSCIOUS: A Brief Introduction]

So we're all talking together now—that's part of being a whir-king and it's a good start.

When we talk we start someplace and we build upon it.  This creates a conversation.  To have the simplest conversation we need two points of view—providing two voices and two sets of ears.  In this case one speaks and the other responds.  It's an interactive process whereby as one of us talks the other listens; then we switch.

To do this of course we need to share our language and build upon what's said using a common understanding of what we mean.  So talking is a form of parlay.  And parlaying is important if you want to play.

We don't play a game by stopping it every moment and starting again.  We begin the process and go with the flow, always building on what already is.  So flow is parlay too.  And parlay is a way of increasing flow. 

HOW TO INVENT OUR OWN WORLD ORDER

Hey, what's really going on?  Who knows.

The system's broke—we know that much—but what can we do about it?  Let's check the general state of things to get a clue or two. 

Aren't you sick of being clueless?

OUR BIG FAT WORLD MESS

Every day more and more ideas, conjecture and downright fantasies about our big fat mess circulate the globe.  We find a plethora of lies, disinformation, misinformation, some few truths great and small, an army of agents at work around the traps—and who knows whose 'side' they're on?—and somewhere in the muddle is a greater truth we can scarcely wrap our heads around.

As soon as we think we've got things worked out something new pops up to change it all again.  And don't you just hate it when that happens?

Because of its sheer magnitude we won't repeat a maudlin list of woes here—let's simply agree we have a mammoth problem.  No, no, not some sort of revived Ice-Age-DNA inundation—at least not that I know of yet—I'm talking about a lot of very dirty laundry on the save-our-sorry-selves list.

In any case, wherever it all came from, whatever form it might take, whatever goals may be mooted, however dastardly or benevolent any individual or group intention appears to be or whoever the key players ultimately are, one thing we can say for sure is, "We have issues."  Control issues—and lots of 'em.
