Questions and Meditations

Donald Trump is a caricature – comical, pitiful, repulsive, cunning and deceitful – of our greedy cowardice, our sick passion for power and money, which has nonetheless been elected as its representative by the youngest and most creative and innovative people amongst us all, now trapped by its own truncated methods and particular demons. Such monstrosities are lowing and roaring upon every one of the present battlefields in every direction.

Who is on watch? Who benefits?

Who knows the path? Who contains it and all the paths and all the ways?

It sometimes happens that a madcap, an idiot or a part-genius opens a gap or a breach into the net of our compromised, if not corrupted, systems and codes, causing the collapse of all our calculated expectations and that a great disorder ensues – which is a door to other possibilities.

Donald Trump is a precipitating agent.

However, in the absence of a corresponding awakening, the resulting chaos can only be destructive.

For this chaos to act as yeast and silt yielding a vaster and superior order, there must be on all sides an opening of the inner eye, the eye that sees. The Question must be faced = what is it that truly matters, what really are our priorities, what destinies do we wish for?

We know that reason and attachment can between them justify everything and its contrary and we can observe that we are thus rendered incapable of discerning truth, justice and the sense of the evolutionary process.
