Winter has wrapped its icy tentacles over these Southern lands, freezing temperatures, snow layers, hordes of happy skiers; simultaneously an increase of electrical power surges, lights-flicker off, plunged into darkness, frustration, dinner half baked
Outages commonly occur early evening; increasing numbers of people moving into; fast-tracked high density 100% “smart electric” dependent “urban housing developments”; extra visitors carving lines on mountain tops, return from their day to warm toes, homes, net flix, flicking switches, turning dials, pressing buttons, charging batteries; straining infrastructure
Currently gigantic diesel generators are utilised as back up for power supply; highlighting idealist fallacies; reality that creates memorable TV story lines, about green-washing alternative energy as “clean” wind turbines, EV’s as examples;
“Do you have any idea how much diesel they have to burn to mix that much concrete or make that steel, and haul this sh*t out here and put it together with a 450 foot crane? You wanna guess how much oil it takes to lubricate that thing or winterize it? In its 20-year lifespan it won’t offset the carbon footprint of making it.
And don’t even get me started on solar panels and the lithium in your Tesla battery. And never mind the fact that if the whole world decided to go electric tomorrow, we don’t have the transmission lines to get the electricity to the cities. - Tommy Norris character, Land man
Succinctly concluding;
And believe me, if Exxon thought them f***ing things were the future, they’d be putting them all over the goddamn place. Getting oil out of the ground is the most dangerous job in the world, we don’t do it because we like it, we do it because we’ve run out of options. And you’re out here trying to find something to blame for the danger besides your boss. There ain’t nobody to blame but the demand that we keep pumping it.”
Demand assumes we the people are the problem AKA; (man made climate change) rather than a covert egregore; group-mind-autonomous-belief, acclimatised to materialist ideologies, formed by corporate/political/religious authorities;
Beliefs which stymie freedom, enduring laws, legislation, legal systems deliberately upholding materialistic values into every corner of life & living; masking divine nature & true authenticity;
Materialism mimics the Soul, but has no divine spark
The great cosmic play - nature’s pull in opposite directions a life teaching aspect; unseen- forces, eternal- truths, internal, immortal, v’s mortal, physical- reality external-outer experiences
Divinity v’s materialism needs to be a dynamic conscious relationship reflecting overall well-being, seeking, divine & material growth
Thus Materialism is problematic if not pulled into balance through eternal truths-divine law; the vessels it sustains itself through eventually become morally corrupted soul-less & sin-full; seeking sense pleasures, authority, psychosis, delusion, narcissism, disturbing ideologies, manipulation; values which also apply to entities like corporations /governments & ironically “religious” sects
When tarred with morally corrupted values, materialism is the problem; geo-corporate-political-ideologies irresolute towards overcoming non realised states of consciousness; intent on harbouring gas lighting constructs, greed, delusion, escapism; problem solving using same thought-structures creating problems in the first place; tactics like green washing trigger guilt for “our” actions, akin to stockholm syndrome, forming sympathetic feelings towards ideologies that in fact capture us and take from our life-force
The radical philosophy that by merely living and exhaling we pose a direct danger to earth, high standing premise’s whereby our rights are called selfish and those that question this narrative are slurred as immoral
Rosa Korire -Behind The Green Mask
structures that fuel & fund the materialist egregore; Penance for , material entitlement: more tax, more dependency, more servitude, more government, more laws, on it goes….
until we wake up to the reality that this is a kind of retribution; for not strengthening the balance of forces that compel us to act from a realised state of Consciousness
Kriya Yoga Master; Paramahamsa Prajnananda asks;
“Have you ever been in caught in a trap? I was trapped once, by the inter-net”
He then says “ it makes me sad to see and hear about small children, young people and grown adults trapped by internet and social media addictions, these habits kill their precious time, skill, peace and joy”
Add to this comment, smart phone dependency /socials addiction;
Cell phone towers are electrically powered; they require electricity to operate the equipment that generates radio waves at specific frequencies, allowing them to transmit and receive signals from mobile devices, power is typically supplied by local electric power utility, but many towers are equipped with backup power systems, such as batteries or diesel generators, to ensure continuous operation during power outages
Energy consumption for smart-phone-tech, data-storage facilities is substantial, reflecting disassociation from divine reality, folk would rather place importance on social media likes and dislikes, in their pursuit of happiness; a substantial story in its own right, for another time
For some perhaps the greatest achievement is to flick a switch consciously, or limit dependency on smart technology, not from a sense of guilt, rather discernment for technological advancements; then applying discipline to balance dopamine hits, doom scrolls and our attention which corporates turn into currency; our natural instinct for instant gratification put to better use; Sri Aurobindo refines the higher spectrum of gratification as movement towards divine self expression
In this way life becomes an interplay between spiritual and material advancement, attuned to needs v’s wants; wants reflecting developmental attributes; experiences of faith rather than skeptiscism “precious time, skill, peace and joy”
