In pursuing their self-oriented lifestyle, our karmic ancestors turned the tables on Soul to assume top-dog status. In doing so, they enslaved their souls – our current souls – by trapping them in such a way that they could neither save them nor save themselves from the fate they created – one action at a time – as they went about living their lives.
It is because of this turn of events that Karma was born.
And when it comes to gifts – to the material ones already unwrapped and intended mostly to buy love or some sort of peace or at least a truce, let’s do our best to give the gift of total acceptance from the Heart to those closest to us?
From the Dawn of Time till today, we have been acting as if we honestly believed – against all evidence – that more, more, more of everything – from more love to more money to more sex to more personal space to more holidays to more bang and bling for our buck to more food to more protection to more leisure – and all manner of possessions would keep us safe, contented and insulated from the crazy world that lies in wait on the other side of our front door.

So, here’s me thinking that, in regards to those of us who, like naughty children are *grounded* be it by snow, floods or storms …
While the androgynous beings were as innocent as babies, their ego-persona was inactive. Let’s just say that being as complete as yin and yang are complete, they had nothing to imagine. Thus, free of desire, their thinking didn’t go beyond a state of just being. Their ego, like the surface of a pond, was clear and still.
The way I understand it these days, Adam and Eve – generic names for our very first karmic ancestors – predate by a few million years the images we have of them frolicking in the mythical Garden of Eden and of them cowering in shame under the wrath of God, as depicted on so many Sacred paintings.
The Big Bang theory and the theory of Evolution are, as we all know, theories that attempt explanations as to the origin of humans, among other species, on planet Earth.
If, in spite of over a century of funded research and prestigious brains actively involved in unveiling the mystery, these theories are still called *theories,* it is because neither side has been able to mount the sort of evidence that would bounce whichever theory into the realm of factual reality.
Scholarly theories and precautionary principles get bandied around. They generate nods and accolades from peers as well as a few variations on, ‘Uh, yeah … OK,’ from us laypersons but they can never, never define the original catalyst that created the very first instance of their very first observable piece of data – the X factor that caused the first domino to wobble before falling – the data from which scientists create theories after observation and calculations of their evidence, their empirical evidence.
Though clearly our culture is well past the point of no return, as individuals, we need to stop pointing the finger as readily as the child who, caught red-handed, blurts in a blatant attempt to shift blame, “It wasn’t me. I had nothing to do with it.”
