Ritual living. This is possibly the
most difficult hurdle to initially get over, even
for many Earthfolk. Most of us do not think that
we are living a ritualized lifestyle. It is critical,
however, that you discern and grasp how you are presently
acting out rituals of the Warrior’s Quest. For
example, how you have been participating
in the ritual that enabled the imagining and actual
production and dropping of the Atomic Bomb—and
how you continue to make present the Warrior’s
Quest vision.
The ritual of
imagining, creating and dropping the Atom Bomb?
Me?
Yes, you.
When Earthfolk awoke,
we saw clearly how the iconic image of the Mushroom
Cloud
gave rise to the image of a militarized Spaceship
Earth.
The two are intrinsically linked. Once the Warrior Quester had the
Bomb, he needed to necklace the Earth with satellite based atomic bombing
capacity. Yet, within a heartbeat,
we also felt deeply moved—by a radically different emotions—by the
presence of Spaceship Earth as our
Mother, the Living
Earth. As sojourning aliens we sensed that something
very profound had happened equally to the Warrior
Quester
and to ourselves. The only way this began to make
some sense was by coming to understand both of these new experiences
as the
result of a history-making cultural transformation.
Simply, both the Warrior Quester and we Earthfolk began to see and
sense the
world in profoundly different and starkly
contrasting
ways.
From our experiences with
personal rituals and with ceremonial religious rituals, we sensed
that
something ritualistic, something on a vast, possibly cosmic
scale had occurred.
Having been raised within the Warrior's
Quest vision and imagination, we readily grasped that the dropping
of the Atomic Bomb was the fulfillment of the Warrior's
Quest dream of an apocalyptic end to the Earth. On
its own terms, the Warrior's Quest vision was imagined and actually
ritually materialized as the Atom Bomb.
