0449

 

 

6/25/2022

Every once in a while I have to go back through my Dynaxioms to see what needs to be changed. I ran search through the published entries for "America" and found 449, written around 2005: "America is a progressive nation always building on what it already is not going back to what it was before. (Deprecate?)" I wanted to take this one out a long time ago because I was thinking about whether that would hold, and apparently it hasn't. Maybe we're not going back to what we used to be. People are going to try doing it but maybe in the end it won't be that successful. What's interesting about what's been happening is from my perspective as having lived most of my life In a "Roe" America rooted in 60s social reform. I'm a "Beatles" person, then an "Elton John" person, then a "Pink Floyd" person, all vastly different from the America of the 40s and 50s. That's the ground that my cultural life is built on. So it's interesting to see what's happening to it now--that the cool culture since the 1960s is starting to break, albeit a small fracture that can easily heal. I've been watching some of the protests on YouTube and the stress and anger is now very palpable. This is a very strange time in many ways.

Caroline Myss:

It's very important to understand what is happening in this particular time in human civilization it's important to understand how consciousness is opening and actually shifting and how that is sweeping the whole world and actually reshaping everything from our relationship to physical time to actual time and how that is transforming our relationship to time itself and is affecting everything from the financial markets the speed at which they are collapsing and the speed at which people think they should be making money absolutely everything is getting transformed.

Obama is nominated at Dem convention and gives historic speech in Denver. His “Big Night” 4 years in the making, and 45 years after King’s “I have a dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. (“The fierce urgency of now”). I like what congressman James Clyburn said about the impact of this moment—that 4-5 year olds will see it as a paradigm shift, similar to the effect Kennedy had.    
 

[8/28/2024: Those 4-5 year-olds will be voting for the first time in 2024. I’m not sure if Clyburn was alluding to that fact, i.e. a paradigm shift rivaling Kennedy. I think that would be true with Kamala Harris. “We’re not going back” is the human universal of liberal democracies].
