The Human Legacy

[Lazarus Knudson]

If humanity does not soon come to its senses, and realize that it has been misled and misinformed by its intellectual leaders, the the prevailing laws of Nature (with poetic justice) will reliably act to bring about a fitting end to this ineptly contrived culture. Unfortunately, the most frightful catastrophes or scandalous disclosures will have to happen before people become aware that it is their own mistakes that have led to their undoing. These can be rectified only with great difficulty, precisely because it was those in power principally who committed them. Rather than question themselves, these institutions and individuals, ever protective of their own interests, would allow millions of their fellow human beings to perish before they would ever admit their errors.

A host of so-called experts is lined up against any systematic attempt to correct these errors. They are obliged to advocate the course they have championed, because it is their livelihood and they wish to be looked after until the end of their days. Yet, even this obstacle might be overcome if the mistakes could be restricted at least to a particular branch of industry. A thorough analysis of the most common mistakes made over the centuries reveals the enormous extent of the malaise arising from flawed principles and perverse practices. It reveals such grave cultural, technological and economic violations that no branch of industry is left untouched. Not even a partially unaware expert can absolve himself of blame, whatever his chosen field.

At the outset a powerful opposition must be reckoned with. It would be futile to expect any support from experts when, under these circumstances, it is obvious that nearly every one of them would be threatened. But this obstacle should cause no alarm, for we are not concerned here with the livelihood of a few, but with the survival of the whole of hoodwinked humanity. The attitude of many of our young people today certainly provides clear evidence that humanity is still morally healthy. They militate vehemently against the signs of decay emerging everywhere and refuse to continue to trot mindlessly down the road... that has led us into an economic and cultural cul-de-sac.

Opposition alone, however, achieves nothing. Our youth will achieve any practical success in their struggle only when the causes are identified and the errors are revealed that previous generations and we have made, so plunging the world into disaster.

I agree with the others, and I am impressed with your level of maturity and your thoughtfulness, not to mention your kung-fu skills... I hope you will inspire many young people, we certainly need that.

The credit for these statements goes to Viktor Schauberger. Yet as I was reading them from the pages, I felt as if a presence other than myself, was speaking them to me. I could almost sense the moment when he was saying these words, as if I was there. All movements, grand and small, I believe, start with an idea. And as I sit here typing this, I am having many ideas. The only problems I can foresee, are that I do not have the resources required for such a task, although I would be more than willing to be a key player in a movement of magnitude.

I agree with Matt. But even if these are not your words they are your sentiments. And finding these words, yours or someone else's, shows great growth in your humanity. I think that a movement for change, as Sue suggests, is something that we all should take part in.

[Matt - a simple hobbit]

Is this your voice Laz? If so ... you are growing in more than just your forms.
