Friendship

Please keep in mind that all the really important things come from the bottom. Even though those at the top appear to be making decisions they are actually riding a very unstable wave which we at the bottom control. It is time for we at the bottom to share our strength and our hope. Our combined consciousness controls the world. We just  have to figure a way to act in concert. It is called Consilience.

EO Wilson has recently written a book called Consilience. David Bohm wrote about fragmentation and how we needed to come together in small groups to achieve a consensus. However in the late 1930s Bill Wilson had already found consilience through listening attentively rather than intentively and there is a big difference between those two adverbs. But he was dealing with people who had reached the bottom and knew they were on the bottom. The ego button was hit and was reset. In my opinion that's the reason it all came together. Now we are struggling even in AA with talk talk talk about God. Again in my opinion God is a verb. We have all been speaking in the recent years with many many nouns and too few verbs. This nut who is now at the top found that he could speak in verbs and win us all over(I.e bomb, deport, fire, deal, and grab.......

Rabbi Cooper wrote a book a few years ago called God is a verb. Mike G  has a copy that I gave him last year.

The book that I am struggling with right now is by Peter Breggin and he contends that human evolution has been driven by shame, guilt and anxiety whether drunk or sober. Too often those who have never been drunk play with other peoples shame guilt and anxiety and drive them up a wall. But simply put…………. recovery from shame guilt and anxiety is done through the verb WORK. But cleverly disguised sides are chosen and the game is called politics. 

But what about friendship; what is friendship?  When two people meet each other in the middle as friends they essentially left their ego at home. Ordinarily in everyday life we are going about with a shield in front of us. We carry it everywhere. But friends don’t use the shield with each other. They are not afraid of harm. So friends meet each other at the bottom. It’s a very creative time. And then these two friends can join up with the others and the nectar of relationship ensues. Not so easy but oh so much a treasure.
