I am extremely grateful to Robert
Sorensen for his carefully thought out and implemented method of dealing with
consciousness in his guest editorial this past week. He spoke of the
pressure of invasive negative nature of our media with TV as a culprit. Then he
outlined his defense.
For Robert the spark of life is the way in which he develops a consciousness as a defense against the negative aspects of the outside world. But most striking, is his use of sleep in the dream-state to actively explore his subconscious mind.
In my own case I’ve always thought of my dreams of something that happens in a very passive way. Many people, including myself, have tried to re-enter a dream on waking, but to actively explore the subconscious is a step beyond what most folks, who I know, have been able to do.
Meanwhile I know that I must go beyond my personality to stay in tune with Mom Nature’s plan. I doubt that we can get there without each other. So, let us return to the cave in Dominica; to our group of animals as they work toward saving the planet.

“I don’t know if we can ever change
humans for the better, but something is changing in me since I have been in
this cave with our group.” Quacked Ducky, the white duck. “I feel free, now
that I have been with you creatures. I have not wanted to say this because I
did not feel free in my own feathers. But now I want to tell everyone of you
and even hope that Mom Nature overhears this; Humans must save themselves!!
“Wow, what do you mean. They are
fighting with each other while the planet is in danger of overheating.” Said Hummy,
“They are hell bent for self-destruction and that includes our destruction in
the process.”
“I think I know where Ducky is with
this,” Crooned, Mira the sloth.” Even if we came up with something, humans
would soon drop back into fighting each other with ego-driven dirty tricks. If
the solution does not come from within their consciousness, it simply won’t
last. Compared with us animals, humans are like 2 year old’s. Sloths have been
on earth for 30 million years and crows for 60 million years, while humans, began
as a species, much less, at only 200,000 years ago. It is a slam dunk. Humans
are in the midst of the terrible two’s.”
“ I see.” croaked Cackle, the grackle, ”In
the scheme of Mom Nature’s playbook, humans have evolved such that they are
scarcely able to walk.”
“Then why are 2 year old’s driving this
spaceship earth?” flapped Bertie, the peregrine falcon. Now I am getting
scared.”
“Wait, wait. Slow down a bit. Mom
Nature must have laid out a plan that we are not finding,” growled Joe, the
anole. “If we are painstaking about this phase of our own development we will find
the map and discern the pathway.”
“I have been wondering about this cave
and why Mom may have placed us here,” hooted Hooie, the barn owl. “Have you all
thought about looking in the deeper part of this cave.? The map may be deep in
there.”
“Lordy, Lordy,” muttered Andi, the osprey,
“That is a very scary, dark, spooky and dangerous looking blackness. I’m
thinking the deep cave is the subconscious mind and the frightening unknown.”
