The Warrior's Quest was fulfilled, completed,
ended—because the distinction between warrior
and enemy disappeared. Every person on the planet
became not only enemy, but an Intimate Enemy. Pause a moment and
really ponder, meditate upon that truth.
Think about it, one more time: the nuclear bomb
is not "user-friendly"!
The nuclear bomb kills—vaporizes!—everyone
and everything.
It is an uncontrollable weapon whose target is
the Earth and Life itself.
Yet, there is an even more peculiar,
unnerving, amazing and somewhat paralyzing revelation
that a sojourning alien encounters. Not only in this vision is
every person—you—expendable,
considered acceptable collateral damage, but
you
have no intrinsic value
or right to life.
Isn't this the iron-clad conclusion drawn from realizing
that you are simply a target to be vaporized?
You are not an enemy slain who is then brought home to be buried
by his or her loved ones. No. You have no right to
your body—living or dead! You
have no right to exist! You are beyond worthless.
—Poof!—
You
are nothing but
a cloud of vaporous atoms.
Ask yourself, "Why?" Then
consider that there must be something so
powerful, so precious, so numinous, so creative within your intimate
presence that the Warrior's Quest is to obliterate,
annihilate—make it seem to your family and loved ones that you
never existed.
This remains an absolutely mind-boggling,
heart wrenching, spiritually shuddering insight.
Earthfolk call this something your vital
zest.
