Thoughts about truth and human rights
I was reading a fellow Dreamjournal member’s entries. Here’s a chap who’s lived a life aswirl in paranormal events involving time and energy. He feels like an island alienated from the insanity called consensus reality… I think he sees life through the lens of chaos/order. Through polarity. Can we blame him? When the media seems to be swamped with malicious ‘reality shows’ and manipulated news, there is only an island of self to rely on for the truth. Who’s alien? The one who sees this mess for what it is, or is it the culture itself that is ‘alien’? 
I was reminded of a phrase I read somewhere. There are three types of magicians: the magicians of order, the magicians of chaos and the magicians of love. When all authority seems deliberately obtuse, incompetent, injust and wrongheaded, it’s easy to be disillusioned. But we still have to deal with it. But do we really have to attract its nightmares into our own lives?
The way that has worked for me under similar circumstances boils down to this: find the silver lining. Or rather, find the core of light. Each obstacle we encounter has a lesson at its core, if we just care enough to be grateful for the chance to unwrap it from its ugly exterior. Can I find another way of dealing with an issue so it doesn’t make me feel like crap? There’s usually another way. For example, our local newspaper has devolved into entertainment fluff. Most of the time that is all we have time to read anyway, which explains that format’s popularity. If I really want to find out what’s up, I choose to read the Manchester Guardian. The issues, unfluffed. Raw. Awful, and rather depressing too! What can I do about starving people, arms races around the globe, stupid people doing heinous things to their own families, etc? If I read all this with a wide open heart, my life turns black and despondent. I find I have to read with my mind only, for the purpose of awareness, and realize that I don’t have to own these other’s realities. I’m not here to fix all the ills of the world. If I want to stay healthy, I have to leave that bigger picture to the Creator, and just keep doing my own bit. Even though my own bit as a creative artist might not seem like much to others, it’s my ‘other way’ of dealing. Working in the microcosm, unfolding my own light as best I can. Doing what I love, and hopefully it will attract the audience it deserves. That doesn’t make me selfish, it makes me focused. Maybe I can become my own magician of love and discover that other people have been feeling and thinking the same way I have been? It’s worth a shot. MC Radiance www.scorpiocraft.com
