WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Certainly, by now you are aware that the primary principle of hermetics is balance, the centerpoint between right/wrong, good/evil, war/peace, etc. As the community's impsissimmi for North America, I spend several hours per day allowing communication between our continent's community and the communities on other continents. For several months, we have been aware that as many as a thousand children per day are starving to death in the horn of Africa. It really bothers me, when I purchase food and do not finish my plate. It bothers me even more when I recognize the amount of garbage disposed of in our country every day, that I assure you would feed a million people.

It is not your fault. No one has supplied the infrastructure through which we may even feed the hungry in the USA. Definitely not in Somalia or Kenya. However, as conscious people, it would behoove us to be aware that because we are on one end, or one particular spot in that circle of wholeness, within reason, we still have at least a conscious responsibility to the rest of that sphere.

I DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO SELL YOUR HOUSE, HOCK YOUR CAR, IN ORDER TO ASSIST THE SITUATION. (THE SITUATION MAY BE AS IT SHOULD.) HOWEVER, AN ABSOLUTE REPRESENTATION OF self THAT IS SERIOUSLY CONCERNED WITH SELF WOULD REQUIRE AT LEAST SOME POSITIVE THOUGHTFORM ASPECT TOWARD SOLVING ONE OF THE MINOR PROBLEMS ON THIS PLANET. RESPONSIBILITY FOR self AUTOMATICALLY IMPLIES (FOR THE HERMETIC) SOME CONCERN FOR THE BIG SELF. THINK FOR A MOMENT: 29,000 CONFIRMED CHILD DEATHS IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, AND IT HAS NOW REACHED 1,000 PER DAY.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, AS A SUPPOSED SEEKER OF THE WHOLE, TO AT LEAST SUPPLY SYMPATHETIC THOUGHT TO THIS SITUATION.

This is also your responsibility to put self first, so that you may assist others. Your ability to discern and judge where self is in direct relationship to the whole is part and parcel of your development hermetically. Remember, my friends, do no harm without reason. Do good without fear. Love thy neighbor as thyself, and hunker down. We are only fifteen months away from the awareness of consciousness that we have waited for for so long.

PS I QUIT SMOKING YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, AND I'D LET FIVE OF THE LITTLE BLACK BASTARDS DIE FOR A CIGARETTE.

PPS AGGIE JUST WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT HE SENT OUR LAST $500 TO UNICEF. THAT'S WHY THE ASSHOLE AIN'T SMOKING.
