An Idea Whose Time Has Come
For your consideration.
As a Financially disadvantaged white person, I have been thinking. There is a lot of disruptive tension that needs to be resolved. Tension that SOME people are inciting between groups of people. I never believed i was the center of anything, but, no one seems to be stepping forwards with this. Occasionally i have a good idea. If it is Not good, i expect to be explained why, very clearly. WE do need a way to address the severe communication deficit that is disrupting the society we live in. But what is the foundation of it?
I think people have a fantasy about what others think. Certain of these narratives are fostered and proliferated by media on a grand scale. If you are wealthy, powerful, and you Own the media source, it may be your opinion. Still, speaking for everyone is not your right, and misleading. And, people believe others of your supposed group experience this. So it is an illusion. Skin color, religion, as it is easily discernible, is used as a divide. clearly this is being abused. WE are being abused. How can this be checked?
That is the Real divide. Power, and no power. There is no middle class. I think they (some small element of the wealthy who can influence this) enjoy making people attack each other, so we never join forces, which might be the smart idea, against a very, Real enemy. We are almost all denied our clans, and the one clan left is the most abused of us all.. they Give us sports teams, religions, political parties. This is still not a satisfying support system, because it is so very impersonal. it is un natural and un healthy. And the table is built for the rich. We morn for those who would Never morn for us.
Also using the terms “white” and “black” erase culture. Irish is different than swiss ethnically. No doubt someone whose family is from burkina faso is was different from another family on the ivory coast. You are using the language of OUR oppressor. My irish clan, cassidy, was a healer clan. indeed every female in my family is a lab teck, nurse , or like myself a herbalist. I am sure the wisdom of the blood is in you as well. Also, i cannot trauma dump on anyone. because no one can comprehend that level of suffering. even my best friend’s faces go blank. it is beyond their ken.
Also, never let someone else forge your identity. It will never fit you right. It can never be true. Historians have to do this in some respect. i think it is time we become our own history keepers of our own family. These other labels are grossly oversimplified.
People talk about “the glance” . Dude. “the glance”? A way of connecting a skin colored fantasy you did not write with another person who treasures the same fantasy. The jews do that too, like a clan. (one of the most pitifully manipulated groups on the planet) But their history is not written by them. But a Priest class that desires power over them, and terrifies them at every turn. People ask if i am jewish at least once a year. When i say no, they never speak to me again.
You know what i’d Like to ask people? what are your values. are you just waiting for an excuse to be immoral to someone? it would not work because even if , no especially if they were, they’d just lie. many people today are That superficial. I am old enough to remember when this was Not the case. I do not know why this changed, but it has. And the conversation has gotten super shallow. It is like we are afraid to discuss intimate details of how YOU affect Me as a person. because that is where the rubber hits the road. The point of real contact.
There is a book you might enjoy. A renegade history of the United States, by Thaddeus Russel. In it it describes Why the terms “white” and “black” were coined and forced through the media of the day, into our consciousness. Before that there were slavs, nigerians, irish, red necks (scots/irish who rejected certain monarchs) and so forth. never let your enemies educate your kids. and know who the real enemy IS. there has always been a priest class, that wishes domination. money was invented to that end. (tally sticks can be found globally and work just fine - no banks needed) then came religion, indoctrinating people into order following sycophants via top down mentality. before that religion was always in the home by the family that lived there. It was more of an internal reflection of life which allowed good character to develop. Most people have a conscience, after all. But it takes practice. Crone driven ash circles conditioned many disordered persons into tolerable behavior, or they were shunned or sacrificed to Odin. Now those same disordered people run everything.
Have you ever heard the fairy tale of the pied piper of hamblin, or handsel and gretel? vestiges of the loss of children on a grand scale. I guess you never learned about the barberry pirates and the ottoman slave trade. the pagan slavs were castrated and sold, just like any other slave in the millions. My sources ? Dr. Tony Martin and Thomas Sowell. Those enslaved people left no mark, because their life expectancy was about 7 years. If they survived castration. This was the erasure of northern European culture and ethnes. Very targeted, very specific. identical to the erasure of the people of africa. with the crucial help of traitors in both cases.
I kinda feel like the native people of the americas had it the worst. Since they were not even allowed to live. So, in the victim Olympics they win. Does that justify giving them the upper hand? using that victim card as an excuse for not thriving is unhealthy. Just rebuild you clam and take responsibility- educate you kids, if you love them. do not allow yourself to be used as a political tool, like the jewish people have always been used. your culture has to come from YOU. What you value, defines it. write your own fairy tales. choose your Own heroes. Your ancestors survived, is that not heroic enough to be remembered?
We have forgotten some basics about intimate conversation and debate. We can ask hard question and endure the answers.
We need to learn to stop lying to ourselves. That appealing narrative, may not really apply to US. or anyone. Maybe it never did.
If someone cannot tell you their flaws, they have a dangerous lack of self awareness. It take reflection to be aware of your inner working. This external world is very distracting, so this blind spot will be common. It is vital to courageous and work through this.
Self respect comes from self mastery. No one else gets credit or blame for this. If you cannot live up to your own standards (in terms of personal conduct, not wealth) that is on you.
Life is finite. You time is brief. You do not have time to spare on meaningless subjects. Petty grievances. Wasting you life energy on these is. tragedy.
Do you really think poor white people get housing loans? No poor people do, unless bankers are setting them up in a bubble, in which they will loose it all. (2008, anyone?) I never have. never made enough to try. And who do you think is first in line for subsidized housing? The diversity hire has been going on for a while now. Even farms around me hire trans people. College scholarships? Often, the only option young men have is the military. That is where a lot of them are going. And Historically , where they are also experimented on relentlessly (at least document-ably for the last 100 years) .
Behavior. Personal conduct. what about social credibility for That? personal reputation. How about that being the starting line? Good people exist and should be noticed for their failure to become addicts, and doing patently immoral things. race is used to justify immoral acts like Lying and stealing. Coercion is also justified by race then? We need the wisdom of communication through the heart, Of ash circles now more than ever. That could ground us in the truth. Such things take more courage than most people can marshal. But it would finally resolve the situation Once and for all. The first ash circle i even experiences was native american, so, i would nominate an experienced elder from there to mediate. How about that? Talk it out, until the emotions simply do not register any more. True resolution. It also is a great way to condition narcissists into better behavior. It is the only way to do that.
How to Do an ash circle? As far as i can discern. I was only invited to the one, and, it was huge. Took days. I do not suggest we start that right away. I suggest we start in our own family. Small, and steady. It is an ancient teck, that we are going to have to re-learn. The main thing is to build trust at first. You could start it with a song and some tea, what ever connects you to your ancestors. You will need them now to guide you. The mediator must have superb emotional control and must be the most trusted to be fair-minded by everyone in the group. The mediator and their helpers, cleanses and organizes a A sacred space for vitriol -for all expression. An emotional containment place if you will. Who ever has the most vitriol goes first. they hold a talking stick or some other sign is used, to let everyone know when they are spent. You could start it with a song and some tea. what ever connects you to your ancestors. You will need them now to guide you. Pre-prepare meals, beverages, to easily be eaten as the circle is in process. this may take days. But old hurts addressed there will never return, so, it is not a waste of time. You will not regret this. But, it will be challenging. It would help IF the moderator at least had Non-violent communication training.
Heres a cheat sheet for oldies like me. This will be a powerful combination for healing. So, that’s my idea! Thank you for getting to the end! Well done!
Please send money! This big brain stuff (for a dyslexic) requires food. Thanks!
