Roe v Wade- Abortion Rights in America
Life is so difficult that having kids is too expensive anyway. In 1970s people were having lots more kids. The global population is going to decline. The left wing states are focused on their extreme rights while the right wing states are going in the opposite direction. There seems to be no middle ground. Imagine a taliban country with burka women unschooled living next door to sodom and gomorrha drug, sex paradise. Saudi princes have sex, alcohol parties behind closed doors or go abroad for these to Lebanon, so one hears. Is America going in such an odd direction where certain moral, sexual rights will determine everything. For instance CRT and white subservient guilt complex plus South African style business ownership equity portion for minorities by law plus a large trans minority dominating female sports completely and abortion on demand plus strong LGBTQ education at all grade levels. On the right all of that would be expressly banned and maybe abottion too plus creationism introduced in schools and eventually racial resegregation like in the 1950s. The irony of the latter is that both extreme right and extreme left both seem to agree with segregation because they feel uncomfortable in reality I suppose and don' t like to deal with one another. Does all this have to do with the fundamental secular nature of the USA? Europeans have official Christianity but few people attend church. Extremist philosophies and ideologies are less common. I see the fact that trans movement is attacking feminist gains being a sort of permanent leftist revolution that becomes ever more extremist. The same can be said of equity or same outcome and reparations demands vs equality of opportunity. While the left has taken over electronic media and MSM, the right is controlling courts. Law schools and other colleges all become leftwing breeding grounds. It seems like a permanent ideological warfare. It seems odd and counterproductive to life in general. I guess reading about all of this is more dramatic than in real life. Most people don't deal with such exceptional circumstances on a daily basis. Still, reading about American politics makes one wonder what is going on.

The stoic Mountain drains its excess waters to the Lake below:
The Superior Person curbs his anger and sheds his desires.
To be frugal and content is to possess immeasurable wealth within.
Nothing of value could be refused such a person.
Make a portion of each meal a share of your offering.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
This is an occasion for downsizing to fighting trim.Simplicity and economy are strong defenses against the slings and arrows of Outrageous Fortune.
Whether this is a time of want or a time of plenty, it is an auspicious time to shed a dependency.

War and Mental Health
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1472271/
Reading of clashes takes its toll. When one thinks back over one's life one sees that people separate more or less depth of relationships based on ethnicity, race, religious affiliation, birth place or nationality. In war this is simply placed in cartoonlike contrast to normal everyday life where such matters are subtly ignored. I recall reading of all the problems in Yugoslavia even where lots of mixed marriages had occurred during civil war there. One presumes one has left that sort of simple prejudice behind but it is never really the case. Being an immigrant or children of immigrants or mixed ethnically or racially can limit one's social circle. Subtle social signals are not understood. One belongs only partially in one or another world. In a country like America the whole culture is based on this constant churning of cultures, ethnicities. This could explain attempts at theories to organize reality like " intersectionality". Every subidentity gets value points. And the culture itself becomes a melange caricature of the old world as in Disneyworld castles and Mcdonald' s food replacing the real thing. Meanwhile in the old world the normal drama of wars, refugee crises, based heavily on unfortunate naive disneylike American fantasies of helping the world in Middle East and elsewhere continue. What was useful 80 years ago lost its lustr and became ever more harmful. Now major staes corral themselves porcupine like to protect from this approach. The naive American without roots or culture but just a pursuit of happiness believes in its ability to solve all problems. Organic habitual lifestyle anywhere on earth has its advantages in its long roots to the past from Asia and Europe to Africa. A shrinking world has brought people together who only partially understand and accept each other but live in metropolises with little contact to one another. Once basic economic needs can no longer be met animosities arise again. Today in the West multiculturalism has papered over lots of stresses but the economic crisis neccessitates an external enemy. Sometimes it is the evil drug baron, then the al quaeda and islam, next the Russian bear. Will we turn on each other next?

Learning by Doing
Last week or so felt suddenly lots of soreness in ribcage, particularly along my back. Energy seems to be going deeper into muscles. At end of workday my muscle control in feet is much better and general dancelike fluidity. At beginning of day and throughout work however this can be nervousness, tension as I work all this energy through my body and it becomes a flow. I woke in the night and went to the bathroom, noticing a sore ribcage musculature, which was gone by the time I woke up later on but my foot, leg control, agility is much better. Energy goes from trunk outward to limbs or up to down and heart, other main chakras feed limb movements, direct purpose in life. Venus is love while Mars is action. Passive and active, yin and yang. Dance is ok to loosen up, also yoga, tai chi, even a walk but extensive, long lasting flexible work translates that internally generated energy into body activity, especially with spiritual practice, prana awakening. Unfortunately laborers are generally not into esoteric practice so they just get worn out with age due to wear and tear. "Spiritual people" practice many things, maybe even get kundalini activation but like myself for many years this remains comparatively dormant as they lead professionally sedentary desk job white collar existences. I got this low level job and the physical stress has developed my energy over the years. I don't know exactly how this works. Stress hormones perhaps, higher heart rate as in sport or testosterone( various hormones in each chakra at higher level when very active). Combine that with higher socializing and mental focus under stress. Meditation is focus. So we just sit there.Picture a bland desk job, bland life. Then try meditating to up your energy. Or a bit of yoga. Ok first yoga cleanses, diet, mantras but I read a guru sent his student to work with flocks in the forest till he would be ready for next level in ancient India. The body is part of soul. We have to teach it focus, transform it into a living being, conscious at every movement, at cell level, continually. The worse my job gets, the more my energy gets focused, directed. The more I learn. When the going gets tough the tough get going.

Scorpions - Winds of Change / CIA project to topple the East Bloc?
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
Can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
Distant memories
Are buried in the past, forever
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
The wind of change
Like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

War Confusion
Chaos in the outer world breaks up ability to concentrate on daily passions, hobbies beyond the mere physical aspects. Finally we see perhaps the great crisis awaited for so many years similar to WWII, which marks a historical break with the past. The middle Eastern wars were so far away and ignored mostly by the world. This war is in Europe and seems likely to be short and less devastating but it could cause millions of deaths due to sanctions. Inflation and food shortages could create global crisis leading to revolutions, wars, hunger. Lockdowns, perhaps excessive caused excess deaths everywhere unrelated to covid. Cynically ignoring Russia though seemingly odd, might save millions of lives globally, unrelated to the likely death toll in Ukraine of ten thousand or so. Obviously this is an elite struggle for control and the population is unimportant to them. Since WWII the west has dictated terms of engagement. China and Russia accepted mostly the rules but were still not accepted completely. A counterreaction ensues. Meanwhile my spiritual work on my body continues. My chakra balancing and development gives me flexibility, agility, energy in work and daily life. Lately I notice the throat chakra strengthening. I have a light step, can turn gracefully, am energetic. This as the nervous system is more interconected. We need such a change globally. Instead two sides compete for dominance. Eventually perhaps in centuries hence as cultures change this will seem backwards. Perhaps as the earth warms Siberia and Canada will birth new civilizations and the old ones will die out. Our fossil fuel culture will wither. Alt Energy is too weak to replace it. Population decline will ensue and traditional agriculture based cultures based on seasonal cycles, no 24/7/365 global connectivity will be available. Who will dream of Empire across oceans and continets then?
