Want to be Blasted into new heights of Awareness? Listen to Arundhati Roy’s ‘Come September’ Speech and then to what Marianne Williamson has to say

Whoops, stalled my writing so far today – regardless of approaching deadline – due to two more mass shootings in the USA (United States of Amnesia). Not to talk about white supremacy or the fact that there are more guns than people in the USA, but to talk about specifically Arundhati Roy’s speech of almost 20 years ago, that brings out the truth of how this govt. is run by very secretive operations and wants nothing more than to continue its policies that spark divisions, in a continued drive towards profit over honest values.

Arundhati Roy full speech 2002 Come September

Funny, it is so apparent as she talks, and yet so cleverly hidden from the public’s awareness. By the way, video game violence merely mimics the mentality of a society whose main objective is to distract the public and continue to play out a military defense regime who uses ‘fear of the enemy’ to continue with policies of putting money into weapons and defense, instead of genuinely putting resources towards enlightening and educating people.

The US regime continues to create the illusion that other human beings threaten our comfortable isolation and energy consumption; that bleeds the rest of the world and drives all creatures’ out of existence, by pretending that nationalism (allegiance to a country) is more important than conscious awareness and truth. As long as we are in economic chains and addicts to consume what is dangled in front of us – with dishonest messages about what will bring happiness (as a profit motive) – we are not free or happy.

“Happiness” Animated Short by Steve Cutts | Brilliant Mirror of Consumerism

Steve Cutts short animation Happiness

“The story of a rodent’s unrelenting quest for happiness and fulfillment.”
Directed and animated by Steve Cutts.

It’s a brilliant demonstration of how people in our culture become convinced through advertising that is propaganda to keep the machine oiled, that happiness lies outside of them, through something you purchase…and that you have to pay your dues and relentlessly work hard to reach the crème de la crème.

Steve Cutts has come up with another soul transforming animation that causes us to see our own lives and lifestyles as a treadmill of consumerism and the lie that we live. Ever on a quest to buy something external, thinking that this will bring happiness, while we kill the essence of what we all work for, and go on vacation for, the paradise in which we live of beauty and wonder of our natural world and all of the creatures which we share it with.

Cutts creations are brilliant. It is art and psychology at the grandest scale; a mirror into humanity, especially what the Western ideals have invested in and exported unfortunately to the rest of the world. For example, I’ve heard that the various cultures around the world that have allowed Fast Food to visit their lands, are now also suffering from the same sickness of excess as many people in the west, with diabetes and obesity. Guess what, most illness can be proactively prevented with eating nutritional food, staying away from junk food and regularly doing aerobic exercise. No need for Pharma, no need for gyms…Much of our happiness, down right laughter and love, can be gained through simply doing things that we love and observing and being in nature.

I was enthralled and absolutely stunned by this artist – Steve Cutts’ – animation several years ago entitled “Man” which I wrote about in this blog a few years ago. It spoke loudly to my heart. https://digesthis.wordpress.com/2014/12/09/man-animation-by-steve-cutts-revolution/. It displays man’s blithe indifference to other life forms and violence against them – throughout human history – in the name of self adornment and consumption, without regard to other creature’s inherent right to life and a pleasant existence.

Hurray for artists who reveal us to ourselves!

I just saw this video for the first time a few moments ago (December 8th, late night 2014). It is exquisite in the telling of the story.

In his 3 minute animation, “Man”, Steve Cutts reveals the stark reality of man’s cruelty throughout history. Not representative of all cultures, but most. I’m so captivated by how fantastic it is, that I’ve simultaneously posted it on each of my blogs! https://carolkeiter.wordpress.com/2014/12/09/man-animation-by-steve-cutts-revolution/

It’s a scary bunch of images, that we really need to wake up to.

Something’s gotta change!

Time for an evolution, for a revolution.
