[MD] Shouldn’t we be, like, revolting ?

Sorry about the god references in this article, I don't really even 
acknowledge the word anymore.  Kali Yuga, to me, means were' in a 
period of destruction.  Well, it sure seems that way.  Sorry for not 
being more sensitive.

[Arlo]
I see god references as analogies. "Shiva" is a personification of 
the destructive-generative aspect of Dynamic Quality. I certainly 
don't read this as believing some giant humanoid with a thousand arms 
will descend from the sky and, like Godzilla, march a path of 
destruction over the land. Like Socrates horse-drawn chariot in 
Phaedrus, it HAS to be an analogy. Therein lies their illuminating 
power. Even "Dynamic Quality" is a name, no more and no less 
analogous than "Shiva".

I think Campbell's illumination of the cosmogonic round demonstrates 
not only the birth-death cycles but the necessary life epochs 
associated with infancy, youth, maturity, and old-age, as well as the 
necessary dissolution of static patterns and submission to the Void. 
"Only birth can conquer death", he writes, "not of the old-thing 
again, but of something new... When our day is come for the victory 
of death, death closes in; there is nothing we can do, except be 
crucified- and resurrected; dismembered totally and then reborn" 
(Campbell, Hero).

the only time you will see a revolt, is if you take away the beer and 
sporting events.

[Arlo]
And even then I don't think you'll see real revolution. You'll see 
rioting and a spastic attempt to defibrulate the Giant.

[Khaled]
First you have to raise the conscious level. First the masses have to 
know what they are missing out on.

Exactly, amigo. As I said, To revolt, one must ask, "what are we 
fighting for? what do we wish to preserve? what do we wish to 
destroy? what do we wish to create?" To answer these, one must know.
