it is easy enough to say .. too much debt. but what is not easy to face is that the debt is tied up in non-performing assets.. overvalued property to be more accurate. both residential and commercial. its a bitter pill.. and one that will have to be swallowed .. sooner or later.
debtors (and anyone who buys into the debt-funded consumer model) will have to face that fact that a can of worms is only worth what someone will pay for it.. its a tough one. but its the lesson many who gambled their childrens' future away have yet to learn.
recently i came across a work of art by josé argüelles.. surfers of the zuvuya. it was written in the late 1980s. (20 something years ago now but still cracking). it is largely about mayan time. or time-space. the 4th (and 5th) dimension. the spirit world .. the sphere of the buddha (and of nirvana.)
the mayans are the adepts who living in the 4th dimension and beyond, order the galaxy. time in the forth dimension is not linear but cyclic/fractal. here in the three worlds of human endeavour it is of course, linear.. or percieved so.
time unrolls in periods.
according to the mayan calender or perception of time which takes the 4th dimension into account, a new period will begin in 2012 (it is well known).. the surfers of the zuvuya describe it as a colonisation of the planet (earth).. not a land grab or a people grab.. but a new consciousness.
erstwhile humans will develop an earthling consciousness in distinction to a human consciousness. or they will be sidelined. healing the planet or else! coz otherwise the mayans may scrap the experiment of humanity. uncle joe says so..
well.. i reckon the so called gfc is part of this unfolding..there are clear signs that the monstrosity of global industrialism has begun to grind to a halt. (to put it politely).
so ...there is much to look foward to.. turning parking lots into rose gardens.. poison factories into landfill. making degraded land bloom... choked polluted rivers into clear streams again. there is real work out there for those with real vision. real merit to be acquired. believe it.
