Zeitgeist: the spirit of our times, or if you ask me, the spirit of time itself. I'd like to think we as humans have a part in this unfolding of time and space, that humans have a deeper meaning. I'd like to think that we are the cutting edge organic technology, conscious matter capable creating the world around us. I'd like to have faith in a divine plan.

But if that's the case, look at what we're creating! At times, human nature looks to be a serious disaster ;-)

In the end, all we can do is make a choice of how we react to disaster, what we choose to tune into. We choose to either hold onto this 'manufactured' disaster paradigm, living in fear and hence supporting fear, or we choose to let go, and in doing so, perhaps return to an older way of seeing, and an understanding of nature and our place within it.

Our place within the natural ebb and flow of time is what I'm after.

I think most of us are pretty oblivious to the universal ebb and flow of things, we see it, but mostly ignore it, since we don't really want to know. Ignorance IS after all bliss, and why not enjoy your bliss?

I'd say, just make sure it's bliss you're actually living, not some form of commercial industrial bliss created for you and then served up, wrapped in plastic. I would say this isn't happiness, but rather an orchestrated distraction of the masses.

But hey, that's another pattern in and of itself, all a part of nature repeating itself. The question becomes what happens if we awake to the patterns unfolding around us?

Many ancient cultures (Blackfoot, Hopi, Maya, Sumerians, Egyptians to name a few) were familiar with this deeper understanding of the natural world. In ancient times these cultures mapped out the patterns and cycles of nature and our planet within the larger Milky Way Galaxy.

All these ancient beliefs or maps of time correspond to one another, even though they were separated by vast ages within history.

They all tell the same story.

It seems whenever we humans actually paid attention to the bigger picture, we always arrived at the same universal conclusions regardless of the culture or the time period. If we pay attention, it's all there, we just have to pay attention.

There are cycles within nature, patterns that we are all subject to, and like everything in the known universe, it runs full circle.

This film is a bit extreme and bleak at times, don't let your emotional responses get the better of you. I take serious issue with certain content, but nonetheless, watch it through. It touches on some interesting points, mainly that we have a choice, but first we have to choose to get out of our slumber. I guess it's all part of a dialog from which we pick and choose ;-)

Thanks to the creators for putting it out there online.


peace,
