Is it not strange that, in spite of the many modern conveniences and technological advances, living remains essentially very stressful. Why should that be? Often overlooked in the contemporary situation is the pressure of too many people, making life difficult for each other through overcrowding. <br />
<br />
The ruthless exploitation of the earth to satisfy people's needs and appetites makes for bad conscience - does it not? 'Fair Trade' policies and sustainable assurances are an attempt to ease the guilt, but consumption and reproduction go on increasing, and the feeling is that it is unstoppable. The result is deep depression, and stress at the heart. What can be done? Individual, full <span style="font-style: italic;">acknowledgement of the facts</span> and blame-free honesty do wonders for relationship and well-being.</div>

The inability to acknowledge it fully and completely and to remain ‘in denial,’ is attributable to a taboo surrounding the <span style="font-style: italic;">future-dreaming</span> of the ravenous womb. Equally accountable, though, is the pusillanimity of the male, the ‘wee, timorous beastie,’ too timid to ‘bell the cat;’ his sense of self is all too liable to atrophy if he has to face life alone, a likely outcome should he renege on what is at its core the son’s pledge to return to the mother. Humanity therefore never matures beyond nursery-centred dreams, devastating the habitat as it proceeds, as is at last becoming widely known. Dramatic no doubt, but be it acknowledged that the shiny drama of sex in the movement towards copulation is at the overheated heart of society; everyone is encouraged to dwell on it, even into advanced old age. Money circulates because of it and it is felt to be the ultimate fount of joy, exciting beyond words. Where or indeed what, if anything, would we all be without it?<br /><br />Since the habitable surface area of the earth does not conveniently enlarge to accommodate the excesses of human loving, this <span style="font-style: italic;">pseudo-species</span> of ours, undeniably the most intelligent creature ever to strut the earth, yet lacking the now urgently necessary self-control, is creating a future of catastrophic culling in the various well-publicized forms such as epidemic disease, climatic disaster and mass murder. So much for the sentimental dreams of romance conditioning! Since all of this is only too well known to us all, though it may be ignored or even scoffed at by many or by most, and given the plain unattractiveness of celibacy, how do we move from here?<br /><br />What seems to be trying to suggest itself, and being consistently rejected over the centuries, is a further mutation, from the state of pseudo-species to a complete acknowledgement of<span style="font-style: italic;"> the non-metaphysical and absolutely straightforward nature of reality.</span> Rather too simple for science or religion, this. Enthusiasm for such investigation quickly sours, owing to a preference for suffering out our dreams, whether we have secured comfortable positions in society or are struggling to survive in it. However regarded, it’s a dead end, isn’t it? The meantime promises to be very mean indeed.<br /><br />W.

Its adherents apparently love to compile lists and tables, illustrating specific problems of humanity in numerical form and they are keen to keep sending these lists out to others in an attempt to convince everyone that action must be taken. The recipients, however, are not <span style="font-style: italic;">nearly</span> so interested in such lists; they are constantly being bombarded with details from almost every direction, and are mostly occupied just coping with their own problems.<br /><br />There surely exists already a certain global awareness of that ever-growing, stifling pressure of people upon each other and the land, which we call overpopulation; what seems to be lacking is the kind of mutual acknowledgement that could create a respite, an easing up of the pressure, a psychic breathing space, an opportunity for a totally different way of <span style="font-style: italic;">being</span>. However, it is a most difficult realisation that acknowledgement begins at home, that is, with awareness itself. Our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">creaturely</span> pattern is always to reach out and expand, trying vainly to make more and more of the objective world acceptable to our own sensibility. Each of us must <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ourself</span> be the much-needed transformation centre, because any attempt to transform <span style="font-weight: bold;">externally </span>simply compounds the pressure.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064992802710651871.post-68087477210889255872007-01-31T14:49:00.000+00:002007-03-08T11:14:04.559+00:00Acknowledgement<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Why is acknowledgement of overpopulation taboo?

Unfortunately, this little sound-byte has fallen victim to political correctness, and has been imbued with a sexual significance which is not intrinsic and which dulls its original lustre.<br /><br />So far has the process of deterioration gone, that the latest slang usage is equivalent to ‘trashy,’ which shows how a really nice little word can be thoroughly rubbished. Does it matter? One factor against the twisting of ‘gay’ to mean what it doesn't, is that there is no discernible humour in the exercise, and slang without humour is simply uninteresting.<br /><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064992802710651871.post-46982857735168553662007-01-12T17:00:00.000+00:002007-01-31T15:10:28.357+00:00Pseudo-Species?<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;" >Proposition: Man is a </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;" >pseudo-species</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;" >.
