We Earthfolk observe that this dreadful fear and endless
warring is the emotional ground of the three globally dominant
Big Stories which provide Big Answers to Life’s Big Questions.
These are the Religious (Abrahamic), the Secular and the Scientism Big Stories. These three Big Stories vary in their narratives but
each
evokes
the same basic feeling, namely, of being uncomfortable with and discomforted
by living on Earth. They share, at their core, a vision of the Warrior’s
Quest which sees the Other as Intimate Enemy.
In complete and utter
contrast, the Earthfolk Big Story’s vision
of Sensual Preciousness invites you to practice “living
as if you are no
one’s
Enemy.” Living as if you are no one’s Enemy
is ground for your experiencing yourself and others as preciously
intimate,
that is, as precious and Beloved. Earthfolk consciously choose
to dwell peacefully and comfortably at-home on the Living Earth,
living as if no one’s Enemy.
We Earthfolk were awakened in 1968 by
the first snapshot of Earth from outer space. This is the famous
picture—Earthrise—which is called
the Blue Marble or Spaceship Earth. Our awakening was an unintended
consequence of America’s military expedition, that is, the
Space Race against the former communist USSR. Once awake we clearly
saw that the vision and imagination which dominates the Earth reveals
itself through two iconic images, namely, that of the atomic Mushroom
Cloud and the militarized Spaceship Earth. This is a vision of the
Warrior’s
Quest imagination, and it seeks its final and spiritual fulfillment
in an apocalyptic End-of-Time catastrophe.
As we awakened, we Earthfolk became acutely aware
that humanity is entering a new phase of the ongoing global nuclear
war. This is the phase during which nuclear weapons will be used
on a small scale or triggered by accidental actions or governmental
negligence. It is the phase where one individual, just one person
terrified out of their mind and soul by dreadful fear could unleash
the End-Time. It is the phase of the nuclear terrorist.
In a curious alignment with the character of this
new nuclear phase is our emergence as Earthfolk. We understand and
experience that it takes one individual, just one person living
as if no one’s Enemy and dwelling peacefully and comfortably
at-home on the Living Earth to unleash the vital zest of Sensual
Preciousness.
In sum, that it takes just you—just you—to transform
the Living Earth and the Other as you discover your preciousness,
your own Sensual
Preciousness.
Icons make visual and graphic the deep seated beliefs,
values and emotional bonds of a people. As icons, the Mushroom
Cloud and the militarized Spaceship Earth reveal
that the dreadful fear which the Atomic Bomb unleashes is the necessary
and defining emotion of
the Warrior’s
Quest. As such, it appears grimly inevitable that the Bomb will be
exploded again. We Earthfolk grasp that humans have not only created
more nuclear bombs than we can control but that the same Warrior’s
Quest imagination which created the Bomb continues to create other
weapons which we humans also cannot control—these being sourced
in biological, technological and cyber-space devices and inventions.
