Tribalism vs. Globalism

"Pinwheel" by Drew John tankersley

Happy sez- Today is another beautiful late summer day full of happy colors, happy sounds and sights so it is not always easy to think of things that may at first seem rather unhappy, a bit dry perhaps, a bit boring and quite scary but think of these things we must sooner or later; life will force us to and it is better we do it sooner rather than later when we have no choice.  The great thing is that after we discuss these types of topics we have a MUCH better chance of solving our problems and the problems of our society, living a happy life filled again with happy colors, thoughts, sound, shapes and people.

While everything in the universe including life goes though cycles, life seems to always have not only it's good times but it's times of trouble and strife.  Throughout history doomsayers have always cried these are the last days - sometimes even going so far as to name the date and time as in next Wednesday at 2:00 - but even though it may seem like the end of it all, life goes on and the blessings and problems do not stop.  There is however times in history when these cycles seem to peak and ebb and now seems to be one of those pivotal moments when several cycles are peaking at about the same time bringing more strife and problems than usual.

One of these important cycles that appears to be peaking now, one that NO ONE is talking about, one we should all be discussing and that is the on going evolutionary battle between two of the most basic, most primal forces guiding not just ourselves and our society but most life on this planet - and that  is the contrasting and contradictory forces of Tribalism and Globalism.

ACHIEVING EVOLUTIONARY EQUILIBRIUM OF TRIBALISM VS. GLOBALISM

Most animals, especially social animals are tribal in nature -  they have their own territory, their own habits, the more social ones including humans form their own colonies, herds, flocks, schools, pods, packs - their

A Symphony of Living Vibrations

"Sky on a Green and Purple Night " by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez- There are several general topics I often talk about: reality, our lifes path, and the cycles, patterns and vibrations of the universe and their interrelationship.  Today, because we have a full moon, indeed another super moon, I want to talk a little about our universe's cycles and vibrations and patterns.  All matter has a vibration, a frequency that starts in the sub atomic particles that make up the atoms, which make up the molecules which make us and every thing else in the universe.  The sound a guitar string makes is the

The Lungs of Reality

"Busy Day" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  It's the time of year, the point in our orbit when we mark the ever changing seasons, a constant cycle of time and movement that breaths life into the reality of our Earth.  It is these cycles that set the pattern to not only our lives but our reality as well, it is these cycles and the patterns and vibrations that they form (or are formed by) that govern every aspect of the universe and our lives within it.  Everything from the life cycle of the stars to the cycles of life to the orbits and vibrations of the infinitesimally small particles of matter are governed by the cycles, patterns and vibrations that mark the flow of time and defines reality. Truly these cycles of the universe are the lungs of reality.

Importance

"Field of Diamonds" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  Though out the changing reality of our lives things of importance do not change but things of relative importance change as do the importance of things. When you are a year old your mothers love is important and your rattle is important but if you lost one it would of course be the rattle that was least important and when you're twenty-one your mothers love is important and that new Corvette is important but of course the Corvette is not as important as your mothers love.  Neither the car nor the rattle are of any importance relative to your mother and the importance of the rattle has changed to the car.

That leaves the conclusion that many of the important things in life, if not all, are constant though out the reality of our changing lives, while many things in our lives take on an importance because of the circumstances of the moment, when the circumstance has changed the importance has changed.

Taking the High Road

"Vibrant Trail" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  Here's a little something I had to learn along the way, sometimes the hard way and I can still have trouble with it but it is the ONLY way.  It's simple, but it has taken many people many decades to wrap their head around it and it applies to all facets of your life.

Always take the high road.  Always do what YOU feel in your gut, in your heart is right.  You may have regrets in the things that happen to you in your life, but you'll never regret how you lived your life

A Fleeting Thought - A Fleeting Reality

Happy sez-  Our artist and my friend just published on his website, Revolution of Reality, a post I thought was worth the time to read.  Now I understand reality a lot better.  With his permission I am reprinting it here.


Deglazing With Wine
 

My wife and I were making a grocery list and I mentioned I needed some wine, even though my wife and I don't drink I go through a bottle of wine every month or so in the kitchen.  I do most of the cooking and usually use a little wine to deglaze the pan just as I am finished, adding flavor and a moist glaze.  This led us to a conversation about how much wine to use and when - which is something that varies each time according to the pan - what's in it, how much, how moist, how much glaze is on the pan, how hot it is and etc., etc..  The correct answer is of course, just use a squish or a plop or whatever according to the pan,  according to what the conditions, the circumstance is in the pan at that time - that's the frame of reference you use to judge how much wine to put in and that is the reality of the moment, a given reality that has just popped into existence and will pop out of existence when the action is taken and the circumstance no longer exists. Reality itself seems to be a collection of these given realities winking in and out of existence as bubbles in a foam. This of course begs another question - does the sum of the parts equal the whole?
