Exit left
A few days ago while observing the global circus of geopolitics, especially the staged circus of USA politics, I saw myself in the game, a captured supplicant to the noise, anger, blame and division that feeds the beast of this constructed circus.
Any great circus or game needs players, an audience, those sitting in the stalls and cheering and booing. The circus is the biggest event in our lives, and our emotions run high and hard.
If we walk out, pull the plug, exit left, leave, disengage, and if we do this en mass, the circus and its clowns cannot continue to perform. Well, they can, but most of the clowns need an audience to feed their inner beast. And the monster of big tech needs us to be in the game to keep those dollars feeding the oligarchs who are running the circus.
As active citizens, this doesn’t mean disengaging from our responsibilities. We must remain stalwarts of sanity against the capture of the insane, cruel game being played. Specifically, to stand for integrity, truth, decency and respect for all life, kindness, compassion, care and love. We can do this locally or globally.
We can protest. We can speak for truth and against corruption. We can model in our lives and businesses the more beautiful world we know is possible. This is what we intend to do in Syntropic World.
Yet we must know that this circus is only getting warmed up. It has a long course to run, probably for decades, before it becomes so tiring to all those in the stalls, where the promise for change is never achieved, and we are all being played. The only way out is to leave the game and start another one built around the values we care deeply about.
Unhook from the news feed, from social media from the endless spin cycle. This is the challenge I make to myself. Imagine if the overwhelming majority of people in the world did this. The game would end. Just like that. Oxygen starved.
Prepare for the worst. I am actually at a point where I would rather the worst now—the rip the bandaid off versus slowly pulling it off—so we can more speedily move to a place on the other side of this chasm of hate. I know when I type these words that many people will be seriously affected by whatever the worst is. Most of us will be affected in some way, but there are those who will pay a very high price.
The birthing process is difficult and painful. As participants in the birthing process of the next stage of humanity (or the end of humanity), we can choose how we allow birthing to move through us as a collective.
Shall we come to it fully prepared, in great physical and emotional health, with support and encouragement, eyes wide open to the process, yet also refusing violence, force, aggression and hate? Shall we hold each other up, in love, speaking of hope, possibility, life and beauty that birth reveals?
But first, we must exit left on the game being played upon us.
