20190917 SAVERS for TUESDAY

SILENCE

Tried to silence my brain for 60 seconds; plugged ears with fingers.  Still could not block out some sounds, and certainly I had thoughts that I tried to chase away.  Ainsi soit-il.

READING, WRITING

Read 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that societal evolution has come about as it has because those in control, having IMAGINED gods, principles, etc, do not allow those below them to ever know that it is all IMAGINED.

Rather, they remind the masses non-stop that their IMAGINED gods, principles, etc. are real.  The messages of divinity, equality, economics.... are drilled into the minds and hearts of the masses.

These "reminders" are what I call AFFIRMATIONS.  I use the idea to change/improve my behavior, and hopefully also my entire being:  mental, spiritual, emotional, physical.

So what should I make of this "conspiracy" about which Harari is writing?  Is it conceivable that the elites conspire(d) to create this delusion?  Or is there REALLY a Creator-God?  Are we REALLY created (un)equal?  Should I accept his proposal that all we hold dear is really the product of the IMAGINATION of the elite, to gain control and remain rich?

Asking questions without at least an attempt to think through an answer is frustrating, but it's likely the song of the ages of authors who write about the purpose of life.

We should hear from Michael today.  We'll see.
