The Honor System

The Natural Order of Priorities

Life creates more Life by diversifying, and it does that by changing existing places, and turning them into better and better habitat, for all to share.

Eventually a limit is reached. We have just about reached that limit now already, and now we may think we have to try to exceed that limit by cramming more and more people together into smaller and smaller cubicles, at great expense to the Earth, or we could do something quite different.

Life creates and expands upon its own new habitats all the time. We are that Life. We have changed the atmosphere. We have changed the climate.

We have changed the whole environment, so that the scope of life could be expanded upon, and so that the dream of the future, could be fulfilled, which may not yet be ready to come to a brain dead stand still, and the hike up into the highest mountains around does not come to an end, just because a few people may have pooped out on us, and turned totally consumeristic, but not just yet, because there is still more work to be done, right here on Earth.

It may even be time now to start looking around for a suitable broodmate for the Earth. But who will She choose? That is why it may be time, to begin to take it up to the next step, in this very old process, of constant regeneration, and the constant renewal, and regeneration through birth and death, that goes on regardless, as go through this one little lifetime as though that was all there was to worry about, when there are bigger things to focus on that our own little lives and our own little personal ambitions, that may be imperative for us to begin to focus on, whether we like it or not.

We don't need to knock the old system down until we have the beginning of a new system up and running. Life itself as we see it was not just found, ready to go, and it may not last forever either.

There are limits. The Universe may go on forever, but the Web of Life on Earth may not be so lucky, unless we begin to take the most appropriately decisive actions to Save the Web of Life on Earth.

We are now standing among the first, of all those who will have survived, the floods that have been caused by wrongful indoctrination, and we may have now begun to look around for some better answers, or at the very least, some more interesting questions, like what was happening just before the Beginning of Time.

It may be time now to make some new distinctions. We are the survivors of all the floods, and we are the survivors of every change in climate, but that doesn't mean we didn't have to pay the heaviest price every single time.

Life has always come at such a great expense, just to stay alive, and to make the big changes that will be necessary is going to be even heavier, but we are now standing among those who have always been willing to pay that very high price.

We are now standing among those very few, who have climbed out of the Watery Seas, and we are among those very few who have climbed out of the Forests, not so very long ago, and we are among those very few, who have walked up into the Fires of Spirit, and we are among those very few who have built the Great Cities, that are too big to fail, which have now become a huge threat and a danger to us all.

We are among those very few who now must return the Keys of Life and Death, which have been badly tampered with, back to where we found them, to find our rightful places within the natural balance, and to Save the Earth, which is our natural birthright, before it all goes up in smoke, because we have been overstepping our natural limitations blindly, and with reckless disregard, for anything real, like right livelihood, right population density, self sustainability, and forest community integration, because if the Truth Comes First, then it should be known by now that The Trees Come First, within the Natural Order of Priorities, which is one of our main weapons against runaway capitalism, and consumerism in general.

One of the best ways, to get us all back on track, is to get back to the land in community, so that we can begin to serve, the very Heart of the Earth and to Save all Life.

We need to start making plans now to begin to Propagate that Life, and to plan the Seeds that we have been given as a gift, because that Gift of Life, that we have been entrusted with, must now be repaid, and we must do that by passing it on.

We really do owe something to that Life that we have found ourselves to have been blessed with, and that is to emerge as the unsung Earth Stewards, who will honor Deeds and not words, and that means no credit for commitments and promises, until they have been fulfilled, which is always to be the way of the Kindred Spirits of the Emerald Forest, who alone have been brave enough to make any of these distinctions known for the whole world to see, and that is why this group has been organized.

None of the other animals can be expected, to be able to do what needs to be done, and the Earth needs our help. The people have gone way too far wrong with all these bailouts, and payoffs, and these artificial stimulation spending packages, which are a sign of addiction, and another shot of more of the same is not going to be the cure.

They have turned a blind eye to the Earth, out of completely reckless disregard for all that was ever good and right. And now we must lead the way into a sustainable future that works for all the survivors of the Great Die offs that should be expected, now that we have let things get this far out of hand.

It may be that only those of us here, within this group, can be counted on to do what needs to be done now, at this very significant time, of the changing of the ways, before these Lazy Times are over, due to Environmental Degradation, and Eco-Logical Disruption and the Spirit of Community Disintegration.

The Earth may well be a great gift, but it may not be for us to spend it. Our job may be to guard that treasure, as the Stewards of the Earth and the fully matured Web of Life that we are just a very small part of.

We just can not get excited, about the greatest number of manufactured products, for the greatest number of people anymore, as being the highest good and the greater justice may not come from shoveling the same stuff at all the other people.

That is not what the Greater Good is all about anymore since a new page has been turned.

More is not always better. That is why we must disengage, from all these empty platitudes justifying the continuation of thoughtless mass consumption, before we all get burned by the rotten stuff we learned.

If we are to survive the End Times, and plan to thrive, then we do need to get prepared, to make it through to the end, and that can only be done, as an Integrated Community, and that is something, that has clearly delineated limits on rights and responsibilities within The Honor System.

Our first oath of loyalty should be to the Earth, as a balanced ecosystem, and to the Web of Life, which now may need a bit of our attention after all this neglect.

Not too many others can be depended upon to survive and to thrive. We don’t need to try to save every breeding pair on the planet and most of them will not want to go anyway, and so we will be in this way self selecting, as we may be the only ones who really are willing to do it.

This really is going to be much more all about, the breeding and the feeding, of some our own good healthy human stock that works, regardless of the nuclear family model, which may now be obsolete for some, and the same thing is going to be true with all the plants and animals, who may come to us for advice about surviving and thriving during shifting times of changing ways.

If we do come to our senses, and admit to being implicated here, and having responsibilities, and then just proceed as planned, we will eventually be able, to make it through, the Global Environmental Crisis, as it has been foretold, and we will then be home, in time for the great restoration of the Earth.
