In our cultures (Native American & Old Europe) the Sacred Clown, the Jester were vital to the conscious awareness of duality and recognition of political, social, and personal contradictions. Comedians serve their audiences with reality checks, and personal and sharp assessments of the culture and the way we live with each other. Yes, there is mean comedy and jokes, but the Jokester is primal. Most families have their clowns. We need them. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6.2.13
"Any one else have an idea about how we change the perception that Americans are merely temporarily inconvenienced millionaires? How many folks are deluding themselves out there and playing the lotto, because "it's my turn". Please watch this and tell me how we WAKE AMERICA UP?" - Chris Brown
You've asked a question of a populace indifferent to the questions, and uninterested in change at the level you are coming from and pointing towards. A thinking and sensitive person would have concluded that the bombings of September 11, 2001 would have initiated change, but it didn't. The obvious opportunity to change the world and operate as peace keepers in the most profound sense was never glimpsed. Looking at the root causes that led to the attacks, and a direct penetration into the soul and spirit of our national paradigm would have been the response of a person deeply committed to Life, and Spirit, but it is not the American way. If you remember, and are honest you will recall that the push of leadership, at the time, was to return to the way it was. Introspection was held and contempt and suspiciously regarded as anti-American.
It is a nice dream, a hope, but anyone who has started and survived political and social change knows the majority only follow after the success of the few bold and strong enough to usher change of consciousness into the public arena. A more appropriate question would be when is enough enough? But, if you asked that of a pig, or a consumer they couldn't move on the assumption that there is an end to their lifestyle.
I don't think Americans will wake up. Sleep is comfortable and good for business. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6.2.13
Never thought to attach importance to them to care about the number of popes there have been in my lifetime, or through world history. As an African Native American man the Pope isn't a symbol of hope or honesty. I see a Pope I see death, and the dying cultures they've tread upon, and a political structure bloodied, but appearing pious, and meditative upon the claims of God. - Gregory E. Woods
