Saturday, April 8 | Morning Dew

I'm sitting here listening to an apropos of the moment song by the Grateful Dead, the song Morning Dew written by Canadian singer-songwriter Bonnie Dobson.

I thought I heard a baby cry this morning,
I thought I heard a baby cry this today.
You didn’t hear no baby cry this morning,
You didn’t hear no baby cry today.

Where have all the people gone my honey,
Where have all the people gone today.
There’s no need for you to be worrying about all those people,
You never see those people anyway.

Immediately post-apocalyptic is the setting, a world woven by the tragic, imploring rock music that the lyrics walk on.

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I’ll walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I guess it doesn’t really matter anyway,
I guess it doesn’t matter anyway,
I guess it doesn’t matter anyway,
Guess it doesn’t matter anyway.

So, here we see the potential aftermath. We have seen it before. Now, for the alternatives.

I first considered the possibility of spiritual intervention in nuclear conflict at this guy Jim's house, in Brooklyn. He led a Course in Miracles group every week and one night the subject came up and he said, "There are people on the planet now who have the power to stop the missiles," aligning with the power of God.

Over the years that I've considered the nuclear issue, I have felt the presence of a kind of protective sphere in the probability field that was preventing anything from going down. In my earliest encounters with it, it felt like a mesh barrier around the Earth effectively blocking such a possibility. Maybe I was reading a few too many New Age books at the time, but there were a couple of moments in there when angelic presence was not just a concept.

Anyway. I think that we may want to keep our antennas on high and pointed to this issue. I have heard too much nuclear chitter chatter about Iran lately, starting with news reports and big posters in the streets of Paris, depicting the supposed ambitions of Iran's president with a mushroom cloud coming out of his head.

But before we get too carried away, we may want to consider who is nuking whom. In actual fact, among conventional weapons, we have something that is basically a radioactive bullet which spreads shocking levels of radiation, not just in battle zones but also into the environment generally, particularly the Middle East. We are quite literally nuking Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and much beyond with depleted uranium shells. It's funny, this is one of those family secrets that doesn't get on the news so often.

It is ironic that at the heart of what is perhaps the most horrendous scandal in a US presidency involves lies told about the supposed nuclear ambitions of Iraq, which have proven to be troublingly false.

And it is unnerving to hear sociopaths, obviously unfamiliar with the psychological concept "projection," talking about how whacked-out and dangerous everybody ELSE is.

I suggest that the solution set to the current world problem begins with allowing no war in Iran, and CheneyCo taking the nuclear option off the table, unconditionally.

I mean seriously. That would be a good start.
