Anarchistbanjo's World

We, and that means myself as well, are so trapped within our own outworn beliefs that it is difficult to move into the new energies and the new paradigm. The new energies that are creating a new humanity, a golden age as has never been seen on earth before.

The reality is that people are struggling in this transitional time. We have certainly not arrived to those golden shores and our old world is fast becoming obsolete. Let me take my last post as an example. After I discovered the rare issues of Der Orchideengarten my mind raced to the logical/illogical conclusion of printing out limited editions so I could finally make a little money at this hobby of mine. Perhaps even quit my part time job! Chuckle.

Isn’t that old eon thinking at its grandest and most pervasive? The trouble with humanity in the past has been to keep the good stuff for the elite, the ones with money and power, while  also keeping them inaccessible to the poor and needy? The haves and the have nots? So despite my own posturings of new eon thinking, I am just as prone to fall into the old ways as anyone else. Can you think of other examples of; “this product is only available to paying customers”.

Thankfully my own soul sets me straight when I stray off the mark. While it is true that there is an elite in this world and always will be an elite. The elite of the new eon are those that create through personal effort, not those that manipulate and suck off others. Some people will remain slaves because they choose to remain slaves, they refuse to help themselves. They insist on being passive wretches that live pathetic lives with no reason to get up in the morning. They have that right as well.

But the new ways are coming and moving forward in the most unlikely places. The new energy is about personal self empowerment and creativity. The old ways are about passive entertainment and soul sucking debt. Think about it. Oh, I forgot. No one knows how to think anymore.

We can see the new creative energies perhaps most clearly on youtube and the old soul sucking ones on facebook. Youtube is a cultural phenomenon that is at the leading edge of where we are going as a planet. Creative energies are freely shared, expressed and enjoyed. Facebook is an expression of passive entertainment and mass dumbing down through hypnosis.

Public radio and television are funded by those that believe in the vision of a commercial free medium, that is not to be swayed by corporate pressures. Even churches take up offerings each Sunday to meet day to day operating expenses. Then of course there is the musician on the corner who sits and plays all day for the coins that passersby care to throw in their direction.

Anarchist Word is such a place. When confronted with the choice of sharing my material freely or not sharing, I have chosen to share it even if I can’t make a living at it. Our society is in such a sad state of being that the general population is so caught up in taking that it has no concept at all of creative sharing.

Now think of nature. Why do the birds sing? They sing because they have to! And I sing because I have to! Perhaps my song is a bit odd, maybe even a bit dark and uncomfortable, but it is my song and I’m going to sing it. Limited editions of these magazine may come out in time, but you can read the material first online here for free at Anarchist World! It just might take awhile. In the meantime I need to catch up on some of my neglected blogs. I hope people have enjoyed the previews so far! I am doing more translating than ever and seemingly not getting anywhere! Sigh.
