[MD] From each... to each

[Heather Perella]

Hello,

     Platt said:  "So I don't knock $. I think Bill
Gates deserves every nickle of his fortune considering
what he has done to foster interpersonal communication
such as you and I enjoy at this very moment."

     It is the rigid value this culture places in $
that I knock.  It's not Bill Gates.  He is playing the
very serious game of this culture, and at any point,
along any discussion, about any one person we easily
could notice the human and value them plainly and
simply as the human being they are, not value the $
attached to their pocket.
     Why has he had to foster interpersonal
communication you and I enjoy?  What about cell
phones?  They are not just convenience tools that make
it easier for us to talk to each other.  They are also
survival tools made to keep intact a value that we
each have more deeply and part of the larger world of
beauty that I mentioned, which is the interpersonal
communication.  
     Imagine our lives not being able to make such
tools that keep such interpersonal communications
possible.  In the culture, we would be very isolated
from each other.  Look around, the village is gone.  I
can't simply get up and go next door to the neighbors
house or find my wife nearby, either.  You want to sit
down and chat.  That'all cost you $.  
     When you look at interpersonal communication you
notice the $ aspect.  I am focused on the personal
aspect.  Are you or I wrong?  That is not any easily
answerable question, but it is more difficult to
contact each other.  I would say on the other hand we
can talk more easily with somebody in Africa.  So we
give up the local, in our own hands experience and
exchange that for the more global, somebody else takes
care of it for us experience.
     
     Platt said:  "I appreciate the beauty of the
activities you mention, but find that $ are
necessarily involved in whether we like it or not."

     Yeap, to even take a walk I have given up my
local hands for foreign hands to make most of that
stuff, too.  This culture attaches the narrowly
focused $ value onto everything to create a whole new
world, a whole new reality in order to save its'
extinction.  Now we can say $ is just reality, and so
the next time we look at the stars you might notice
the $ attached to such an experience, but I'd rather
notice the larger world that is more free in which the
squirrel works hard but has the food and shelter in
his/her local hands.  
     The squirrel hasn't had the need to come up with
more and more tools to keep those more valuable
heartfelt, mind freeing activities intact.  Ever
notice how much of the new technology is just a
survival tactic to keep alive the more valuable
aspects of our experience that don't necessarily have
to do with $.

     Arlo said to Marsha:  ""Can" a society be held
together as you suggest? Sure. The Indians proved
that."

     Then $ wedges in-between our intellectual
thoughts and we have divisions popping up all around
us.  Another SOM mercantile miner type language. 
Wedge it in-between and pull it apart to see what you
can exploit in all of these separations that this
culture can just say reality is this way.  Full of
divisions.
     Create separations, then blame it on reality, and
come along as some kind of doctor with all of these
nifty gadgets that you sell for a price$, that will
advertise and prove that humpy-dumpy can be put back
together again.  Exploit the human spirit that is the
middle way of all of this.  The actual glue of our
human world, that is non-SOM, is mined out of our very
original nature.  It is labeled as an invention of
human intellect that is able to conquer, have miner
dominion, and rule even reality itself (the so called
SOM one).  The non-SOM effort itself becomes something
only of human engineering, and the squirrels life will
only be labeled savage to hide the real reality that
dances in harmony all around us.  
     Who will win out in this world?  With all the
conflictive attitudes and wedging of SOM divisions
exploiting any non-SOM original as only a slave of our
frankenstein creation.  Or will the wool be lifted
from the predators fake solution that $ does not
further destroy the lives of our society.  $ is the
healer, the doctor, and the bringer of life together. 

     Could $ really be innocent?  Sure, in the end
everything is innocent, everything had its' part to
play in the value latching that could either harden
static quality or let DQ in as quality is not that
narrow focused world and when air and the much larger
world comes into contact even with $ it can be used
for the better, too.  What I am arguing $ tries to
make better, such as cell phones interpersonal
communication, is something gained only because it is
being lost.  Is it being lost because of $?  No, but
once $ is wedged in-between all relationships of the
world, how do we unwedge it and view the world that
was here long before $ was considered the most
valuable thing that makes all happen (even the world
go round) - the view of this current culture.
