I would say we have evolved beyond a Fascist Theocracy to a Genocidal Kleptocracy (a pedophilic slave suicidal machine as the song goes). But hey out of 8 billion of us there’s bound to be a few 100 million bad apples to spoil every sector of modern culture. How else can a person get beyond limitation but to embrace corruption with open arms.
According to this recent interview it is estimated that modern slavery (with the American child sex trade leading the industry) is catching up to the illegal arms and drug trade. I’d say it “Trumps” AR’s and OxyContin but that’s purely conjecture on my part.
Zappa pointed out the problem and it turned out to be the tip of the iceberg. Wing Chun points to the solution. (And so did Michael Jackson in his exploitive genius capitalize and popularize the solution with “Man In The Mirror”.)
Context and perspective are king and queen. As with any problem you firstly must assess your own culpability in the matter. Trust me, as a human symbiosis we are ALL complicit to some degree or another. It is from this stance of integrity that we may begin to strike the proper posture and bridge the gaps and thrust into action. This is the Wing Chun Way as I see it. -Sifu Z
This light is emanating from the south west horizon. The sun has just set to the west and there is no beam of light connected to the source from the west (right side of picture). The clouds steaming in the foreground of the light are also unusual.
Every now and then I see strange things in the sky. A couple of times in Hawaii I saw a bright hole open up in the night sky. As the hole grew larger it revealed a daylight sky on the other side. The hole then sucked up into itself and disappeared returning to a night sky. I learned many years later that these apparitions were nuclear explosion tests that were being conducted somewhere between the thermosphere and troposphere.
Pilots, nurses and doctors seem to have the same type of cognitive bias. They are too close to the subject matter yet too far from the expertise required to solve the anomaly. My friends that have taken on these professions are intimate examples of this. My pilot friend believes in all sorts of woo. My nurse friend was very spiritual and took her own life. And my doctor friend was a total sexual deviate and just plain stupid. We are no longer in communication.
The point I am making is, some people that may seem like they qualify to have knowledge on a particular field may very well be the LAST person to actually know what is going on. As we see with incredibly gifted people. They are almost always endowed with a fatal flaw. We humans seem to achieve more symbiotically by assigning specific tasks to individuals without them being informed of the whole complexity. We depend on this efficiency but suffer for it.
I wrote an article on living a “Dolly Zoomed Life” and I think this speaks volumes as to how to elevate the suffering from near and far sighted perspective. Wing Chun is Dynamic Balance of Structure.
“I’m free, I am free. And I’m waiting for you to follow me.” We are on the road again. I am very fortunate to be able to spend all of my time with Luna while she is still with us.
We are at our happy place. I realize something about myself, which is – there are times that I need to come to a full stop and take in the fantastic splendor of life and consciousness. It is so fleeting. Not even a cosmic blink of an eye. Yet we bicker
And perhaps this is because many people do not have the privilege or enough consciousness to fully stop and take in the profoundness of our lives. Again in the cosmic timeframe, it was just a fraction of a second ago that we were all slaves. It remains to be hard work to shake off the shackles and fend from the jackals.
And doing so as one would be so much fun. love Z and Luna.
Here is a good video and a great article on mastering social media – Wing Chun style. No more Backwards Monkey style. Fun, time saving, super efficient WC Tech rocks yer party pole.
Social media has become a ubiquitous part of modern life, providing a platform for individuals to connect with others, share information, and build communities. While there are many benefits to social media, it can also have negative consequences if not used in a responsible manner. One of the most pressing concerns surrounding social media is the pressure to constantly compete for likes, followers, and attention.
To combat the negative effects of social media, we can implement several strategies, one of which is reciprocality. By engaging with others on social media in a way that is mutually beneficial, we can foster a sense of community and support. When we follow someone who creates content that we enjoy, we should also support them by liking, commenting, and sharing their posts. This helps to create a more collaborative and positive environment where everyone benefits from each other’s engagement.
Another approach is to be a non-monetized creator, creating content purely out of passion and interest, rather than for the sake of making money. By doing so, we can reduce the pressure to constantly create content that is designed to get more likes and followers. Instead, we can focus on creating honest, meaningful content that contributes positively to the online community. This can help to combat the negative effects of social media, such as fake news and misinformation.
However, it’s also important to be aware of the dangers of a “cult of personality” and celebrity worship. When we blindly follow a particular person or group, we may become blind to their flaws and mistakes. This can be harmful, as it can lead us to accept ideas and policies that are not in our best interests. To avoid falling into a cult of personality, it’s important to be critical of the people we follow on social media. We should ask ourselves why we’re following them and what values they represent. We should also be aware of the negative effects of celebrity worship, which can harm our mental health and self-esteem.
In conclusion, social media can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on how we use it. By implementing strategies such as reciprocality, being a non-monetized creator, and being critical of the people we follow, we can turn the potential crisis of social media into an opportunity to advance as a society. When we engage with others in a positive, collaborative manner, and create meaningful content, we can build a healthier and more supportive online community… and a better World.
